Adelaide falls to Ice Dogs on the road |

The Adelaide Adrenaline, proudly presented by Hards Transport, dropped their first of a two game road trip 5-1 to the Sydney Ice Dogs Saturday night in New South Wales.
The Ice Dogs featured a balanced offensive attack and solid goaltending in the win. Five different Ice Dogs - including four local players - scored while Damien Ketlo made well over 20 saves in the win.
For the Adrenaline, the game result is certainly a disappointment. The team was hoping to win their second straight game vs. the Ice Dogs after beating Sydney 5-2 in Adelaide on Sunday.
The anticipation for the game was fantastic. There was a sense of desperation and a playoff atmosphere from before the puck even dropped. After the same two games against each other last weekend the teams were quite familiar with each other.
With points at a premium this season, and three straight games against the same opponent, both sides were eager to win the 'mini series' vs. each other.
"We needed to be playing like the Ice Dogs were playing - with energy, hard work and intensity. They came at us hard and we didn't have answers for it," said head coach Sami Mantere during the second intermission show on the radio stream.
The Adrenaline tried to steer momentum in their direction at the send of the second. The top line of Critchlow - MacMillan - Corstens generated a couple chances and delivered a few big hits but couldn't find the scoresheet in the second period.
Adelaide put the pedal down in the early going of the third period and gave their supporters some hope. It took less than 60 seconds to get the Adrenaline on the board.
Midway through the period David Upton effectively ended the game with a killer deke to beat Pete King and restore the three goal lead. |
