The elements of a playoff
game were there: big hits, fights and clutch goaltending. And
for the second time in just over a month, the Hershey Bears
and Hartford Wolf Pack battled to a one goal decision, with
the visiting Wolf Pack leaving with a 3-2 overtime win before
7,945 Sunday evening at Giant Center. After Chris Bourque's
slapper gave the Bears a 1-0 lead at 12:07 of the 1st period,
the first of two Hugh Jessiman goals on the night tied the contest
at 18:39 of the 1st. Following a scoreless 2nd stanza, recently-named
co-captain Alexandre Giroux once again gave Hershey a lead,
chalking up a power play marker at 4:43 of the 3rd. With Tyler
Sloan serving a tripping penalty for the Bears, Jessiman knotted
the score at 17:46, sending the contest to extra frames. In
sudden death, Sloan would get whistled for hooking, and Hartford's
Martin Richter sealed the come-from-behind victory with a slapshot
from the point, snapping Hershey's modest three game winning
streak. Al Montoya (18-12-0) earned the win for the Wolf Pack
(36-21-3-0, 75 points), stopping 21 shots. Maxime Daigneault
(17-5-0) suffered the loss for Hershey (37-13-6-5, 85 points)
with 28 saves.

Displaying one of their
most impressive performances of the 2006/07 campaign, the Hershey
Bears drubbed the Binghamton Senators 7-1 before 9,581 Saturday
night at Giant Center. Newcomer Scott Barney, in his first home
game as a Bear, led the way on offense for Hershey with 2 goals
and 2 assists, with goaltender Maxime Daigneault (17-4-0) turning
aside 33 of 34 shots faced and besting BSens goalie Jeff Glass
(8-19-2) during a 3rd period brawl. Joey Tenute (1G, 2A), Matt
Hendricks (1G, 1A), Kyle Wilson, Chris Bourque (1G, 1A) and
Dave Steckel also potted lamp-lighters for the Bears (37-13-5-5,
84 points), scorers of seven unanswered goals and winners of
four straight against Binghamton (17-35-2-5, 41 points). Ryan
Vesce would give the visitors a 1-0 lead at 11:44 of the 1st,
but Hershey responded with a pair of strikes just over a minute
apart at 13:51 and 14:52, respectively to hand the Senators
their sixth consecutive loss.
