Second verse, same as the first

It was a near eerie repeat of the previous game - one goal, two goals, two goals... a final score of 3-2... outshot by double digits... a gross disparity in power play opportunities... and even a couple of fights, just like the night before.

Brock Radunske scored early in the first - his ninth of the year - to give the Islettes an early advantage. Thirty-six seconds later, Konstantin Baranov crumpled like a bag of Idaho potatos when Andrej Meszaros drove him into the boards, though the pansy will likely not miss any games. The officials were just attempting to exert control unfairly over the Bruins, because they like to think they are "The Man".


Second period - two Isles goals, another Kadeykin fight, Kadeykin got ejected, and Brett Sterling injured Paul Gaustad.

The Providence Bruins entered the third period down 3-0 and hellbent on doing something to leave a mark on the game... so Pierre-Luc Emond went out and got himself injured, causing Radunske's ejection. Emond was happy to take one for the team, or so he claimed. At the same time Radunske was leaving the arena, Martin Samuelsson managed to get whistled for a hooking penalty which he thought he could get away with - but did not. A minute later, Chris Orr joined him in the box following another hooking penalty, giving the Islettes a four-on-three advantage. The BruinCubs fought through to kill the power play, and even got one of their own two minutes later after an elbowing whistle.

With few shots on goal - only five in the period - the Bruins managed to attack the net just after the power play ended, scoring just four seconds after Mantymaa's return to the ice. Brett Nowak notched an unassisted goal at 1346 to close the magin to two, and when Mantymaa was sent back to the penalty cube, Nowak banked a power play goal at 17:17.

Alas, that was the end of the scoring, and the game ended at 3-2. Nowak earned the top game star for his efforts, though, as Jordan Sigalet dropped to 10-26-1 on the year in front of the gathered 10,000 fans.

All in all, nineteen penalties were called, three players injured, four players ejected, and one hundred ten penalty minutes were doled out, meaning almost one-sixth of possible game minutes did not see full teams on the ice.
