Game Day Thread (sort of): Peoria at Texas, Oct. 27, 2011

by Tomorrows Blues on Oct 27, 2011 8:15 PM CDT

Rivermen lead 2-0 after one period in Austin vs. the Texas Stars.

They're two-thirds of the way to a "Brett Trick," as Brett Sonne and Brett Sterling have the goals. If rookie Brett Ponich can find the back of the net...

Ben Bishop gets the start again.

Updates here as circumstances warrant.

Texas scores on the power play...

There goes Bishop’s goose egg.

Sterling rocked from behind face-first into the glass...

No call.

Sterling’s OK, but that sounded like a pretty lousy non-call.

...and Fairchild gets whistled for some ticky-tack hook about two minutes later.

Tonight’s ref, Curtis Marouelli… not sure if it’s Dan Marouelli’s kid or not, but probably.

Jesus Hussein Christ...

Texas gets a goal with no time on the clock in the second.

Marouelli is bending the Rivermen over the table in this period.

Still 3-all.

Gonna go see two Rivs games in November, one in Peoria, one in Rockford.

I’ll be sure to say high to Bradley University and Cheap Trick, if I get the chance.

So thus, I pay a bit more attention to these things now. Not that I wasn’t previously but . . .

Anyway. Good on the lads to win tonight.
