Cincy is 3-0-2, 2nd in the North division and 5th in the conference.
AHL
Milwaukee 2-4-0, 4th in the midwest division and 14th in the conference.
That is what happens when you haven't won a home game all season and went 1-3 on the road trip to Texas!
On a serious note, the Admirals had three scratches tonight due to injury. Ellis, Bourque and Jeff Foss. I heard that Foss had leg surgery. Jarvinen and Shalla were healthy scratches.
Hellberg is starting in goal against Charlotte. Mattias Ekholm and Mike Moore on D, LW Taylor Beck, C Chris Mueller and RW Patrick Cehlin. Dan Ellis is in goal for the Checkers.
Milwaukee has not scored first in any of their seven games! 1-0 Charlotte, Jared Staal unassisted on a turnover by Moore.
It is 2-2 after one period. Milwaukee had only one first period goal in their first six games, while giving up eight. This is the second of eight games against Charlotte.
Mueller (3) and Cehlin (4) scored the Ads first period goals.
Too bad about Shalla. I wonder what he was lacking.
I know he gave up 4 goals but can anyone comment on Hellberg's night?
The team gave up 4 goals, a bad habit this season. The first was on a turnover in their own end. The Ads average 3.14 goals against and Charlotte averages scoring 4 a game. The 5 goals by Milwaukee is double their season average so far in 7 games. They scored only 12 goals in their first six games.
Shalla has no assists in three games played. Bang is back. He is much faster than Shalla.
Bourque should come back soon. The Admirals Roundtable says Bourque has a "lower body" injury, the Milwaukee newspaper says it is an "upper body" injury. Must be some injury!
Before last night's game, the Ads were #15 in the conference and Charlotte was #1. It was a big victory over a large and good skating team with an NHL goalie in net.
Maybe its the fact I've only seen 1 game this season, but is Mike Moore the least talented Captain the Ads have had in a while? Both home games he's fumbled the puck near the blue line, both times leading directly to break-away goals...

It's definitely not just because you've only seen 1 game.
