Stockton Thunder Vs Aces 1-3-09

So this was the 3rd game of a 3 game series. The Thunder are a physical team and they are getting to be a good hockey team since the Fresno Falcons folded and most of the good players from there went to Stockton on top of the good players that Stockton already had. Also the head coach from Fresno went to Stockton as well and the old head coach got fired. Anyway, we forgot the camera on Friday night which is when all the fights happened, our bad. The Aces are going through a huge slump right now and in the beginning of the season they went 11-2-1, now they have went 3-6-1 in the past 10 games. The wins-loses-tie stats get worse but whatever, they suck right now. This helps Emily and I get ready for the Quad City Flames as they suck too. But don't you worry, the Aces will climb out of the slump and be an unstoppable team again, probably after we leave but whatever. So on top of the physical game Stockton plays and probably some of the worse refereeing I have seen in a long time, the Aces were frustrated. Coach Mac had juggled the roster and put in the Aces "fighter" (I say this because the Aces have had better fighters but he is still good at fighting) to take care of some business. #24 of Stockton, Hunt is his last name, is a feisty little guy and gets under peoples skin, that is his job. In this video, Richards, the Aces fighter, is talking things over with Hunt, probably about the freezing weather Alaska is getting right now. I didn't have the camera ready because this is the first time we have ever seen anything like this in pre-game warm-ups and let me tell you, it is fun when stuff like this happens. It gets you pumped up for the game and usually there is a line brawl which is when all the players on the ice get into a brawl but not the players on the bench. Here is the video:


So like I said, we were pumped up and ready for the game to begin all to have no fights in the game and the Aces lost, in overtime though. They scored a goal 13 seconds left of the game to send it to overtime but lost 76 seconds into the 5 minute overtime.

The next home game is not until the 14th so there wont be any Aces videos but if I see any other hockey videos worth posting, then I will post them. Go Aces and Flames and Blues and Rivermen, I have too many teams.
