The Bear's need to stay south of the border it would seem. At least when it comes to Hamilton. Last season in the Calder Cup finals the Bears did not win a game north of the border and after last night's game, the Bears hope to never go back.
The Bear's lost last night 3-2 at Copps Coliseum. Hamilton's defenseman Mathieu Biron deflated the Bear's in the Calder Cup finals with his physical presence. Last night he deflated the Bear's with a game winning goal. His goal came about halfway through the third period to give Hamilton the win.
Referee Kyle Rehman called 15 total penalties, 8 on Hershey and 7 on Hamilton. Hershey converted on 2 of the 7 power plays and Hamilton scored 1 goal on the power play, although another Hamilton goal was scored right after a power play ended.
Hershey got goals from Andrew Gordon, his 12th of the year and first in 10 games, and Alexandre Giroux, his 21st of the year and 2nd with the Bears. Sami Lepisto assisted on both goals and now has 6 assists in his last 3 games. Hamilton goals were scored by Manlow (10th) and Corso (6th).
The goalies both had good games. Hershey had 33 shots and Hamilton goalie Yann Denis stopped 31 of them. In goal for Hershey was Daren Machesney and he made 28 saves on 31 shots.
Hershey fell to 3rd in the division behind Albany but still 3 points ahead of Wilkes-Barre. Hershey has 3 games in hand on Albany yet this season.
One more game in Canada for the Bear's. Hopefully this one goes more like the first one they played there on Wednesday. Today's game is against the Toronto Marlies, who are leading the North Division with 81 points this season.
