Back to their Winning Ways

I will be honest at the start of this post....I only watched the first period of the game. After that I watched the PSU/OSU game entirely. The Bears game was on in the other room but I only saw a minute or two. So this review will basically be the first period and what I can see on the stat sheet.

It looked like Bingo didn't really show up until the 2nd period. They were dominated in the first being outshot 20-3. And they were down 2-0 after 1 period of play.

But after that they really controlled play and almost ended up with at least a point. After the 1st period the Sens outshot the Bears 28-15 and outscored them 2-1. But it wasn't enough.

The Bears got goals from Keith Aucoin (5) and Oskar Osala (3) in the 1st period and were up 2-0. Neither team was able to score in the 2nd period but Alexandre Giroux (7) added the eventual game winner about 6 minutes into the 3rd.

The Sens rallied with goals from Brendan Bell and Matt Carkner later in the 3rd to get within one. But Daren Machesney was strong in net for most of the night and wasn't allowing the third goal. Cheese ended up with 29 saves to record the win.


My Three Stars of the Game

1. Daren Machesney
2. Jeff Glass
3. Alexandre Giroux

I am not going to grade the performance since I didn't see most of the game. The defense looked good in the 1st period but that was because the Bears controlled the puck for most of it. The Bears went 1 for 6 on the power play and Bingo went 1 for 5.

A win is a win and the Bears won. Next up Rochester tonight in Hershey at 5.

LET'S GO BEARS!!
