It took some work but the Bears managed to win their final game of the regular season last night. Despite being outshot 43 to 23 including 16-2 in the 2nd period the Bears won in overtime 6-5. Neither team seemed to thrilled to be there. The play was sloppy from the start for Bingo and in the 2nd and 3rd for Hershey. The Bears came out strong and finished weak but got the win.
Those 2 shots in the second period were goals by Louis Robitaille and Ryan Flinn. Other goal scorers for the Bears were Kyle Wilson (30th of the year), Alexandre Giroux (33rd), Andrew Joudrey scored the game winner (11), and Francois Bouchard scored his first career AHL goal in the first period.
Freddie Cassivi got the win in goal last night. At times he was brilliant and at others he was soft. On a couple of the goals it looked like Freddie was just practicing out there.
Next up for the Bears is the playoffs. Wednesday in Hershey they face the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Coach Woods has not named a starting goalie for game 1 yet. Best guess would say Freddie though. He has given him the bulk of the work down the stretch. Almost every weekend Freddie got 2 starts and Cheese got 1.
Just one prospect note. The other week Mathieu Perrault was signed by the Caps to a entry level contract. His season ended last night as his team lost in game 6 of the quarter-finals in the QMJHL playoffs. Expect to see him in Hershey soon to be part of the Black Aces practice squad and possibly even see some time depending on injuries.
