The Bears went to Wilkes Barre this past weekend hoping to at least split the weekend games against the Penguins. Unfortunately they could not achieve that goal.
Instead the Bears got run right out of the building both nights. Combined the Bears lost 11-3 over the weekend. The three goals Hershey mustered were all scored by Andrew Gordon.
Freddie Cassivi played in game 2 after playing superbly in game 1. But he gave up 6 goals in game 2 so Daren Machesney got the start in game 3. He only lasted 12 shots as the Pens scored 3 goals on those shots and Coach Woods pulled Cheese for Freddie. Freddie would allow 2 more goals in the game but seemed to play better.
There has been no offensive push from the Bears through 3 games. They have only scored 4 goals in the series, 3 from Gordon and 1 from Chris Bourque. That is not enough if you expect to win in the playoffs.
Only 2 teams in AHL history, the 1960 Rochester Amerks and the 1989 Adirondack Red Wings (over the Bears) , can the Bears make it 3?
They will begin their quest for history tonight in Hershey. Game time is 7:00.
Josef Boumedienne and Jason Morgan will be game day decisions due to injuries.
Freddie Cassivi will get the start in goal in what could be his last game in the AHL.
Eric Fehr is eligible to return to the Bears. But I would not expect him back tonight. Maybe this weekend.
