If there were shootouts in the playoffs than I don't think the Bears would be anywhere near the finals. They are now 1-5 in shootouts this season after losing to the Lake Erie Monsters last night in Cleveland 5-4 (3-2 in shootout). It was a back and forth night in Cleveland as both teams came back from 1 goal deficits twice.
The Bears were winning 4-3 with less than a minute remaining until Lake Erie scored while their net was empty and they were on the power play. It took a 6 on 4 for the Bears to allow a goal in the closing minutes and still almost won in a shootout.
Bears goals were scored by Sami Lepisto, Jason Morgan, Joe Motzko, and Grant Potulny.
Freddie Cassivi did not have a great game as he gave up 4 goals on 25 shots. He didn't have much help on the power play apparently. The Monsters went 3 of 8 on the power play. The Bears better fix the penalty kill because giving up 3 goals a night would not be a good way to go forward.
Other News and Notes:
Sami Lepisto has been recalled by Washington and is up with the team tonight.
