Another week has gone by and a lot going on here at SHoE. The Bears went to Charlotte and came back with 2 wins via a 12 round shootout and comeback win. We are also making a push to get a Shorty Award. As of this writing, we are tied for 6th place with the Vancouver Canucks. Since you are reading this I’ll assume that you like us, so go vote! On Saturday, the Bears went to Binghamton and it took another amazing comeback to get a win. Finally we gathered your pictures from the Outdoor Classic and posted them for all to see.

Third Period Comeback Propels Bears Past Senators

You know it will be an interesting night when Darth Vader drops the puck for the ceremonial face-off. Indeed it was Star Wars night as the Bears took on the Senators in Binghamton.

Things started off strong for the Bears. Graham Mink earned the first goal of the game only 29 seconds into the game. Later in the period, the Senators tied it up with a shot from the face-off circle that eluded Dany Sabourin.

The Bears responded quickly, however. Matt Ford was right in front of the net to shoot a rebound past a sprawling Robin Lehner. That lead lasted until the Senators got a late power play. Binghamton not only scored on that power play, but also scored two more times in the remaining minute of the period. It had quickly gone from a Bears lead to all Binghamton momentum.

The Bears are great at having strong starts, but they usually struggle to get those strong starts when they play the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Tonight, they broke through.

It was defensemen who started the show. First, Matt Ford was stopped on a wraparound attempt but Tomas Kundratek stuffed home the rebound. A few minutes later, Julien Brouillette extended the lead when he scored on a screened Brad Thiessen.

To top off the first period, Patrick McNeill scored short-side during a power play to make it 3-0 after twenty minutes. Not only were all three goals from defensemen, but they were also the fifth goal of the season for each player.

Another full week here at SHoE. The Bears finished out their third week of three games in three nights. As Meatloaf would say “Two out of three ain’t bad.” But then again it isn’t great either when you look at the defensive implosion in Sunday’s game against the Norfolk Admirals. They had just beaten the same team on Friday night. Saturday they added another convincing win against Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

In other happenings this week around SHoE:

Later today look for a new post on what I am calling “The Richmond Factor”.

Now on to the rest…

Sentence fragments. That was what the form of Mark French’s post game answers after the Bears game collapse. After Joel Rechlicz started off the game with a goal an a fight, Braden Holtby let 4 unanswered goals past, along with Norfolk adding on an empty-netter, as Hershey goes on to lose, 6-3.
