Rats down IceCats

Ryan Murphy picked up the Rats first hattrick of the season and Ari Ahonen made 40 saves as the Rats picked up their fourth straight win by defeating the IceCats 6-2 in Worcester. I'm sorry to see the IceCats move to Peoria; we've played some memorable games against them this season. :(

-Cam Janssen served the final game of an automatic two-game suspension he received after picking up his fourth game misconduct of the season on Friday.
-With 9 penalty minutes tonight, Aaron Voros became the second Rats rookie to pass the 200 PIM mark this season. Cam Janssen already has 298 penalty minutes.
-The Rats had 1998 penalty minutes going into this game; Ivan Khomutov's first period penalty brought the team to the 2000 PIM mark for the first time since the 98/99 season.

Three stars:
#3 Ahonen
#2 McAmmond
#1 Murphy

Hat trick for Murph. Boy does he have a propensity for getting empty netters.

6/7 now, 3/3 on the weekend and winners of our last 4. Lets see if we can continue this, I want over 70 pts this year.

Foster 2 points. ! On another note i when to see game 5 between barrie and Ottawa in the OHL it was very entertaining!
