Rivermen Hit Wolves with Ramming Speed

Last night at the Allstate the Chicago Wolves came out and challenged the Peoria Rivermen to March hockey. Both teams came out fighting with early goals Peoia with Justin Fletchers at 9:9 in the fist answered by Brett Sterling's at 18:32 followed by Clay Wilson's to close the first period at 19:05. The home team went into the locker Room confident, perhaps too confident. For the Rivermen caught the Wolves at 10:23 in the third during a PP caused by a costly Scot Lehman tripping penalty. The nail was put in the coffin moments later at 13:38 with a Nicholas Dranoovic bullet that ended the Wolves night early.

One of the most crowd pleasing elements of the game was the constant agitation between Riverman Yan Stasny the Wolves bench, Ondrej Pavlec and Artus Kulda . It has been a long time since a true agitator has been in house and despite him being in royal blue it was fun to watch at times. But then again for better or worse this blogger still misses Karl Stewart and his antics. The action stated early with a slash that quickly turned into a brawl then blossomed into a chippy two periods of elbows and yippy yap.These teams meet again on April Fools day in Peoria, considering that Peoria is one point behind us this morning it might be worth the the trip to see the fun!
