Who the Hell is Todd Ford?

The Providence Bruins sure as heck know Todd Ford now - he's the SonOfAGun who just shut them out in a bowling shoe ugly match-up between the Nashville Junior Predator and the Baby Bruins.

The game started off to the delight of the crowd with Jaakko Harikkala and Ben Eager fighting to a draw, which was followed by Matt Ellison bumrush charging Colton Orr, resulting in a bogus goalie interference call on Orr. Both men received two minutes of seat time for the offsetting whistles, which enraged the Providence bench.

Ten minutes later, Daniel Fernholm had leveled Jordan Sigalet, driving him from the game. The few Providence fans in attendance were not exactly crestfallen over this, but were unsure of what would happen.

The end result - a lot more penalties. At the end of the third period, Ivan Huml was penalty boxed for roughing, out of sheer furstration, which set up Jonas Nordqvist for a power play effort in the last two minutes. He connected with just eleven seconds left to seal the game for the home club.

Ten thousand fans went home happy, which is quickly becoming the Slogan for the 2006 Providence Bruins.
