Springfield up 2 in the Neighbour Series

Game 2 is in the books and Springfield won 3-1, this puts the Isotopes up 2-0 as the series moves to Sudbury.  Patric Hornqvist was the games first star with 2 points, once again Sergei Bobrovsky was standing on his head and was the games second star stopping 29 of 30 shots and Nicklas Backstrom was the games third star with the game winning goal. Now for what you have been waiting for:

The Isotopes are one step closer to bringing clarity to this obviously complicated situation but are still only half way and the last two games are harder to win than the first two.

It appears though that the Sudbury Miners have already given up. “I’ve never been so happy to be down 0-2 in a series”, Sudbury GM Terry was quoted as saying.  If the GM has quit it is a message that does not seem to have been passed to his team, as the Miners have played two very good games so far.  In fact the Miners have outshot the Isotopes in both games.

“If Terry is happy not to be winning, then why are they even out there trying? I have to assume that he is lying, he wants to win this, maybe even more than me”, said Isotopes GM Aaron Stacey, “We are giving our all out there, just look at Hubby (Jonathan Huberdeau who was injured blocking a shot in the first period), I expect that Sudbury will be doing the same.”

Game 3 is tonight and there are some line changes expected for tonight’s game, as the injury to Huberdeau has allowed for former captain Brendan Gallagher to be brought into the lineup. Team leader (tied) in points, Colton Sceviour is being moved up to the 3rd line.

Hopefully the team can keep the run going and wrap up this series early.
