Finals Prevew

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Kyle

I know I haven’t been posting a lot lately, I’ve been working with a lot Russian Machine Never Breaks lately. If you get a chance jump on over to them and say “Hi” to all the guys. There is some great work over there. But in my time since then the Bears have made it to the Calder Cup Finals! Between them ending the R-Rats for good, and taking the first 2 game with one of them having the amazing Christopher Bourque score an OT winner, and THEN Boyd Kane’s OT winner in game 6 to send them to the Calder Cup Finals for the 4th time in 5 years. Now all we had to do is wait.

HERSHEY DOES IT AGAIN.

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Kyle

Well here we go all over again. The Hershey Bears are going to the Calder Cup conference finals…again. Chris Bourque came out to start this game with only two goals and ten points, he ended with 15 points and four goals. Bourque who scored 8:23 into the first and 0:59 into the second was the #1 star. Albany would start the third period with a lead of 4-2. Alexandre Giroux cut the Rats lead to one with just over three minutes left in the third. Hershey would score again in the third period on a goal by Matthew Perrault to tie the game and go into overtime. Perrault would scored again at 2:23 of the overtime to sweep the Rats and end the Albany River Rats franchise as they move to Charlotte, North Carolina and become the Charlotte Checkers. Hershey will no have a week, maybe two, with out an opponent as they wait on the Worcester-Manchester series to end as they will be going to the East Conference Finals for the fourth time in five years.

The Hershey Bears new AHL record – By:Jarrod

Posted on February 24, 2010 by Kyle

By guest writer Jarrod:

The Hershey Bears set an AHL record last Sunday with a 5-3 win. The Bears won 20 consecutive home games, thanks to a pair of third period goals from Francois Bouchard The victory marked the 20Th consecutive win on Giant Center ice, eclipsing an AHL record held by the 1996-97 Philadelphia Phantoms. The Bears first goal was scored by Andrew Gordon. The Bears and Rats traded goals in the second period. In the last couple of seconds of an extended Albany 5-on-3, Bryan Rodney put the River Rats on the board, launching a slap shot from the right circle at 3:50. Hershey answered, as Rodney deflected a cross-ice pass from Oskar Osala through the five hole of Peters at 6:15. Jerome Samson responded for the Rats. Samson struck again for the visitors at 13:01, effectively chasing Bears backstop Braden Holtby from the game. Jason Bacashihua relieved Holtby between the pipes and faced two shots in the second period. The score was at a 3-3 deadlock after 40 minutes.
Just as a power play expired, Karl Alzner fired a shot from the point and Bouchard potted the rebound for his 15Th of the season at 11:24 of the third period. Bryan Helmer tallied the secondary helper to notch his 386Th career assist and broke an AHL record for assists by a defenseman. Bouchard added the insurance at 17:53. The Bears had a game they will never forget.
