it's hard to really write a solid review on what happened in this game. the scoring happened early and often, and then the bench clearing brawl took over.
the teams couldn't get amuch going playing a tight checking game. rockford got on the board, and less than a minute later Sheahan answered. two minutes later Hoggan deflected a Almquist blast in. Two minutes later Almquist found a hole on the power play and and slapped another in. Aubry and Flick have a spirited scrap, i'd call a draw. Two minutes later Callahan with a nice deke put up another goal. rockford answerd with one of their own. end of first period Griffins 4-2
2nd period. Fournier pulls out some paul coffey moves and goes coast to coast to put one up on the PP. The following shift Rockford answerd. About 6 minutes of hard hitting hockey. niether goalie is controlling the puck lot of close calls. Ferraro burys a quick wrist shot. on the face off following the brawl started.
Kyle Beach jumped Sheahan and sheahan turtled. Beach continued to pound on him. during this brookbank went after fournier, and stanton Lashoff. The ice hogs goalie jumped mrzaek and got the better of him landing about 8 punches to his face. then the griffins bench cleared, followed by the icehogs.
Too much really going on to make it all out. Mcradle of the icehogs was acting a fool sucker punching people. Grant is @ the bottom of a pile. someone is forcing billins to fight, he is holding his own despite at least an 7 inch diffrence. Evans, and Callahan showing great restraint and just tring to separate people. Callahan took a couple sucker punches from people.
Tatar challenges clendening over by some open ice. Tatar got the better of him and really put a beating on him. the only remote highlight of the brawl for the griffins. the Griffins really took a beating here, doesn't help they were jumped and had no choice but to answer. the refs and linesman did virtually nothing to stop this. I was told the player that jumped Sheahan collapsed in the tunnel after being tossed, I didn't see that myself. I was releived nyquist was just holding someone and they didn't try to get him to go.
after about 25 minutes the game restarted. rockford was left with only 10 skaters left GR left with 13 if i counted right.
when the period ended something was said between the coaches and they looked to be trying to get at each other. or more so Jim Paek looked like he was gonna rip apart the whole icehogs coaching staff
at this point the arena was crazy, it was hard to keep track of plays as people were getting insane. play calmed down at this point. and both teams changed goaltenders. Callahan had his first career pro hattrick and all 3 goals were goal scorer goals, nothing grinder like, that was a nice change to see him rewarded for all his hustle this season.
the game ended having Glendening and pirri trying to get at each other. the refs ran the last 20 seconds off the clock to get everyone out of there.

Obesevations:
I dont even know what to say to all this. I dont know why the icehogs played like that they have a shot at the playoffs and are looking at multiple suspensions. A lot of gutless acts here as guys were jumped and clearly out matched. these teams meet again Feb 22nd. the links are on you tube also
