PowderhornhockeyBuffalo sports broadcaster Clip Smith was fond of saying "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out." That's exactly what happened last Sunday at the Allstate. It was quite a night, as if Wednesdays lunar eclipse had left a bit of freaky karma for us to enjoy later. Three goals called back and four count em' four fights. Two featuring my favorite Slovakian defenseman Boris Valabik and the comparatively diminutive B.J. Crombeen. You have to respect the little guy giving several inches to Valabik Crombeen after being thumped in the first period he went back for more in the third.
In the end after the fights were over, the standing goals were tallied the Wolves came out on top. Not to beat an obviously dead horse but since September I have been pointing out the goal tending problems in Iowa. On January 8th Iowa called up Steven Silverthorn from the Iowa Steelheads, although registering a loss in his first outing. A closer look reveals he relieved Stephen late in the third and turned away all four shots sent his way. It is this photogs wish that when Iowa comes to the AA on the 7th we see the 26 year old strut his stuff for us in goal. Common coach Carey, give the dark horse a chance!
