Game Notes for 2/28/09

02/27/2009 11:47 PM - Chris Etheridge
Deep In The Heart Of Texas: The IceHogs are playing San Antonio a night after beating Houston 6-1. Rockford made this tour of Texas trip once last season, but in reverse, burning the three hours of highway from San Antonio to Houston on Oct. 16, 2007. The Hogs won both games of the set in 2007, taking care of San Antonio 4-2 and Houston 3-2.

That Was Quick: Winger Pascal Pelletier scored seven seconds into the third period on Friday, setting the mark for quickest goal scored coming out of the locker room in the IceHogs AHL era. The previous record was set by Bryan Bickell 30 seconds into the third period against Rochester on Nov. 16, 2007. Rockford’s quickest goal all time came from Derek Landmesser six seconds into the game against Madison on Feb. 6, 2000.

This Doesn’t Bode Well: The IceHogs are 0-3-0-0 on Feb. 28 all time with three road losses over the last 10 years. The Hogs were idle on Feb. 28, 2008.

This Does Bode Well: The IceHogs have never lost in regulation at the AT&T Center. The Hogs had not lost in regulation to the Rampage in the first seven meetings between the two teams, but have now fallen in two straight.
