Detour to Busch Gardens...
...'cause that one was a roller coaster.
Here's the complete list of teams to win at Norfolk this season:
Nov. 22: Manchester 2, Norfolk 1 (OT)
Dec. 1: Worcester 3, Norfolk 1
Dec. 6: Hershey 3, Norfolk 2 (OT) (then 14 wins in a row)
Feb. 9: Albany 4, Norfolk 2
Feb. 10: Portland 4, Norfolk 2
Compiled that list after Gregg Johnson's second-period goal, when it looked like Bridgeport and its 2-0 lead might add itself to the list with what sounded like a hard-working performance.
But then Jordan Hendry scored twice. And then Troy Brouwer scored, and Albany was finishing off Binghamton (Matt Murley broke a tie in the third), and this was looking like a rough night, wasn't it?
But then Tambellini ties it, and then Hendry attempts to spear Boguniecki*, and now...
March 16: Bridgeport 5, Norfolk 3
The 2-0 lead had evaporated in a tick less than 200 seconds. The green in both flanking columns here had been posted soon after Brouwer's go-ahead goal. There is a rematch in the same you-don't-win-here barn in 21 hours... And they pulled it out.
Stuff from off the radio (Norfolk's again, 'cause I still can't figure out why I can't keep the stream of Phil's cast): Bridgeport held Norfolk without a shot for the last 10 minutes of the first period, taking the final 11 shots. Shots were 20-8 at 6:31 of the second, when Johnson gave Bridgeport that two-goal lead. Hendry got the Admirals on the board soon after. Pat Shetler gave the Bridgeport blue sweaters a pop early in the night. He then moved on to the hard-to-argue position that the Blackhawks' reds are the nicest in hockey.
Dustin VanBallegooie earned an assist on Frans Nielsen's goal, his fourth point in six games as a Sound Tiger.
Sound Tigers all over the scoresheet late for the Islanders Thursday, asAnon Lori noted in the last comments set: Drew Fata scored his first NHL goal, and Wade Dubielewicz was perfect in relief. Then, Robert Nilsson, featured in the Edmonton Sun, scored his first Edmonton goal Thursday.
Here's a Matt Reid story from the (Charleston) Post and Courier that winds up in the same vein as that Vigilante story from yesterday. (It also quotes Cail MacLean.)
The Peoria Rivermen have signed two kids from Northeastern in the past week. It's like there was some kind of connection between the two teams, isn't there...
Now let's see if the weather clears up enough so we can see some hockey at Ingalls tomorrow...

I was rooting for the Bears down the strech hoping they would catch Norfolk so we would have a better chance of making it past the first round, but hey at least we know we can win in Norfolk. Huge win and that was without Dubie, huge props to Billy. Great job boys!
