Allen had a 3-2 lead after two periods but gave up two goals in the third to lose the game 4-3. Allen's first goal was scored by Liam Huculak. The other goal scorers for Allen were Tobias Whelan and Erik Adams. The series went seven games before Allen prevailed winning game seven 4-1. By the way, Jordie had all zeros in the boxscore in that first playoff game with the exception of a minor penalty for interference. Thanks for asking the question as it is always fun to look at boxscores from back in the day and relive the moments.

I also agree with J. Margargle, Stevenson should have received more days of suspension than anyone else involved, he is the captain and instead of calming his team members down he gets out of control and leads by his bad examples which were seen by everyone in the series against Allen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080859446542191581.post-74001234070979983382018-01-03T12:01:30.187-06:002018-01-03T12:01:30.187-06:00Didn't Jordie score the first playoff goal in ...Didn't Jordie score the first playoff goal in team history?John Belowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393087045442102691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080859446542191581.post-46302317259256807372018-01-03T11:35:50.246-06:002018-01-03T11:35:50.246-06:00No surprise the ECHL handed out more game suspensi...No surprise the ECHL handed out more game suspensions to the Americans than Wichita (seems to be a pattern). Also, given Stevenson's continuing altercations and misconduct during the game, I believe there should have been suspensions for that in addition to the pregame incident.<br />No doubt our guys can step up to the challenge.

Be it in the USA or to other parts of the world. <br /><br />I loosely follow the Sharks, mainly because they are our up-line team, but also to keep track of Aaron Dell since he once wore an Americans sweater.<br /><br />I forget that Jordie Benn also got his start here. I will have to keep a lookout for news about him and the Candianens. It was easier to keep tabs on him when he played for the Stars!<br /><br />I wasn't there for the madness before the game Sunday but have watched several video accounts of it. It seems to me that the Wichita players were definitely the aggressors and came across the line at our guys. I would like to see more or an explanation as to the reason for the decisions by the ECHL. <br /><br />I agree with Barry...the players should have a chance to explain/defend their actions especially when a multi-game suspension is on the line.Gilley 'Dilbert' Esteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317871170520854261noreply@blogger.com
