Things did not start off on the right foot for the Isotopes as just over two minutes into the game J.T. Compher of the Miners rifled a shot past Bobrovsky after ‘Bob’ made back-to-back-to-back saves. “Bobrosvky can be counted to make saves for us but he can’t be expected to clear the puck as well”, said Isotopes GM Aaron Stacey, “The Miners were all over us early in the game, I am just glad we were able to fight back and we have Bobrovsky to thank for that.”
It is true, not long after the Miners goal Springfield replied with a powerplay goal (which should be shocking to any Springfield fan given the teams special teams record) while Simmons served a delay of game penalty. The game stayed deadlocked until nearly the 15 minute mark of the second period where Jared Spurgeon put the Isotopes up and they never looked back.
P.K. Subban had two points and was the first star, Bobrovsky stopped 34 of 35 shots was the second star, and Darren Archibald with goal (he had six all season) and a +3 rating was the games third star.
On a more important note, Stacey is now one game up in the ‘Neighbours Series’.
There are no changes expected in the lineup for Springfield in game 2, and now the series is moving to daily games which could make this writer a bit fatigued hopefully it doesn’t end up impacting the team’s (and this writer’s) nap times.
