For this game it was the Adirondack Phantoms who came to town. Little did they know that they would not be able to score a goal this evening. Through the first twenty minutes, the game was scoreless. There were only a couple of minor penalties this game. The referees let both of these squads play most of the night. There were a little over 5000 fans at Scope cheering on their Admirals. Early in the second frame, the Admirals were able to get on the board thanks to Philip-Michael Devos. The Admirals took a 1-0 lead into the third period and that is how it remained til about 90 seconds were left. The Phantoms had to pull Michael Leighton from the net for the extra attacker late, but the Admirals got an empty net goal from Pierre-Cedric Labrie. Dustin Tokarski got the shutout for the Admirals as they defeated the Phantoms 2-0.
My experience at this game was a great one. I was shocked that the referees decided to put their whistles away for most of the night. I thought the Admirals played a great team game and played good defensive hockey. I would have liked to have seen them put more shots on the Phantom's net, but I will take a 2-0 win anyday of the week and take the two points.
