[S]: And welcome again everyone to the Golden Horseshoe post game report. I'm your host, Sip Nightly and with me as always is statistics freak Allen Wench. What a game we had here tonight for all of you between the Lethbridge Lions and the Anaheim Outlaws right here at The Saloon in sunny Anaheim, California.
[A]: I'll tell you, it is never a dull moment when these conference rivals hit the ice together, regardless of where its at. Throughout the season so far Anaheim has been on top of Lethbridge two games to one despite Lethbridge outscoring them 8-6. Tonight though, evened things up scoring wise as both teams have scored 9 points on each other this season...however with the win tonight Anaheim has jumped to a large lead in this rivalry going up 3-1 on Lethbridge in the conference.
[S]: Lets take a look back now at how this game unfolded.
1st Period
[A]: Anaheim came out swinging off a John Forfeit goal halfway through the first period, his third on the season. Lethbridge came answering right back at the 17:30 mark thanks to a powerplay goal to tie things up.
[S]: Yeah the fight that lead to that powerplay really came out of nowhere. Earlier in the period there were a few minor hooking and tripping penalties, that were to be expected between these two teams, but man, Anaheim's Jacob Riley must have really had a personal vendetta on the Lions and just decided to take it out on Lethbridge's Jakob Hamr. The officials definitely made the right call in the subsequent ejection of Riley that took place. Here's a look back at that fight:
2nd & 3rd Periods
[S]: Anaheim went right back to work in the second period, hitting the net on a shot from Kevin Robinson, his 7th of the season and sending the Outlaws back up on top 2-1. Penalties continued in the period though as Lethbridge's Jack Wilson was called for a hooking minor just past the fifteen minute mark, and Anaheim's hot-shot Raquel Castillo Gutierrez for Roughing with ten seconds to go in the period.
[A]: Fortunately, both team's penalty kill units were on top of things through the end of the period. Especially Anaheim's since Lethbridge had that man advantage to start the third.
[S]: Yes indeed Allen. It would seem in the locker-rooms between the second and third periods had some serious chats among the players because there were absolutely no penalties in the third period. It was as if they were all sent to the time-out corner or threatened to go to bed early without dinner. Everyone was on their best behavior.
[A]: Comedic at best, but not enough for Forefit as he solidified the game for Anaheim early in the third period, notching his 4th goal of the season.
Wrap-Up
[S]: So there you have it with Anaheim winning over Lethbridge 3-1 and taking a 3-1 lead on them this season. Anaheim also took the day on shooting, firing the puck 24 times to the Lions' 8.
[A]: Between the pipes, Lethbridge's Markus Tegernako and Anaheim's Abroop Dhami both ended the day with a .875 save percentage. Abroop moves on the season to 7-5 with the win while Markus moves to 6-6-2 on the season in the loss.
[S]: And here are tonights stars of the game!

[A]: Whatever was going on there with Riley, hopefully Outlaw's management will get it sorted out. That game misconduct definitely hurt them in that followup penalty-kill.
