It seems like we haven't been there in a while, but we were back at the Allstate Arena to see the first game (here) against the St. John's Maple Leafs. There must be some bad blood left over from their last meeting up on Canada because the first period was awfully physical. There was a total of 17 penalties in the first period. Both teams were physical and actually pretty evenly matched. By the time the third period came around, though, it looked like the Wolves were getting tired. We actually had two Power Play goals tonight, as well as an Empty Net-er.
With only 27 seconds left in the game, Karl Stewart got into a good fight (that was brewing all night) and wound up getting a Match Penalty for Attempt to Injure. Yeow. And then the Baby Leaf's Kris Newbury doesn't get a penalty for going over the top of the refs to go after Stewart. What a mess.
