Albany @ Binghamton (11/15)

Ahonen is in goal tonight, but it doesn't seem to matter much.

As usual the Rats started out well, scoring twice in the first (Bicek and Suglobov) but have now blown the lead in the second. Binghampton scored on a powerplay resulting from a stupid Nittel penalty, and then they scored shorthanded (for the third time in two games UGH!) while the Rats had a 5 minute PP. (Scherzer described the shorthanded goal allowed as Giroux and Redlihs both going for the same guy, leaving one Senator all by him lonesome self. double UGH.)

I'm not looking forward to this third period :mad:

Ratsgirl, it seems that Suglobov plays with an edge. He had a fight last night and got a roughing minor tonight. I haven't seen him play in Albany. Just got a glimpse of him in a preseason game at MSG.

Am I accurate in my assessment of Suglobov? Thanks! :)

this just got interesting
Bicek scores to make it 3-3 with about 2mins remaining

Bicek scores, and then with 65 seconds remaining Balmochnykh scores on a pass from Suglobov on a 2 on 1. Rats lead 4-3.

and yey, Rats win !

Albany - Jiri Bicek (Steve Kariya) 17:47
Albany - Maxim Balmochnykh (Aleksander Suglobov) 18:55

Hmm..I think the best word to describe him is intense. From what I've seen so far, he doesn't look to cause trouble, but won't back down from anyone. He's not overly physical, though, and doesn't like to hit or get hit. (On another note, I was kind of disappointed that his first fight was in an away game, I would have liked to see it :D )

Glad to see Sugs and Balmochnykh scoring. Lets hope they can both really develop into solid scoring NHLer's!

O YEAH :yo:

Albany - Maxim Balmochnykh (Aleksander Suglobov) 18:55

I wanna see that all season :bow:

and a gwg at that.

I don't know, man. I'd like to see some other people dish it to Balmo...and having him score at other times of the game would be nice too. ;)

What the hell went on in the 2nd period? Looks like a lot of "extras" took place. What happened. What started it all?

Sorry, I don't know exactly what happened--hard to tell from the radio.
It sounded like the ref lost control and decided to take it out on the resident goons, though.

Albany - Rob Skrlac - (Inciting an Opponent Misconduct), 10 min
This is a new one to me :dunno:
What did he do?

"Inciting an Opponent Misconduct" - I love that.
The new Rob Skrlac penalty. Sounds like he beat the snot out of an opponent to the point of stressing out the poor soul's teammate to the point of doing something to warrant a misconduct.
"But he made me do it!!!"

Maybe that's an AHL-only penalty.
