Last game of the season
by Tommykey on 4/22/15Webster Bank Arena - BridgeportRating: 4 out of 5This was our third trip to the Webster Bank Arena, this time to cheer on the Rangers affiliated Hartford Wolf Pack take on the lackluster Sound Tigers.
It was the last game of the regular season for both teams, with the Wolf Pack clinched first in the division the two teams share, and the Sound Tigers in the cellar. The first period was quiet, with neither team scoring. The tempo picked up in the second period when the Wolf Pack scored twice. Then in the third period, the Sound Tigers got energized when defenseman Matt Carkner got into a fight with one of the Wolf Pack and they subsequently scored a goal, though they ultimately failed to tie the game.
Afterwards, the Sound Tigers came out and signed some autographs, though I wonder how they felt about it having lost their final game of the season in front of the home crowd and finishing dead last not only in their division, but in their conference as well. As my son and I were acquainted with Carkner when my son played with his sons in the Iceworks house league, we got to chat with him a bit during the signing session.
