Not enough firepower dooms the Aeros in 2-0 loss to Milwaukee

A few weeks ago I attended the last meeting between the Aeros and the Milwaukee Admirals and it really was a tale of two different Houston teams. In the first game, you could say the Aeros had their “B” squad in place due to a suspension by Colton Gillies, as well as leading scorer and power play quarterback Maxim Noreau and perhaps more notably the absence of starting goaltenders Wade Dubielewicz and Anton Khudobin (who were up with the Wild as they were without Niklas Backstrom and Josh Harding due to sickness and injury respectively) which prompted a one-off start for Ryan Nie who was playing in just the 2nd AHL game of his professional career. This forced the Aeros to commit itself to playing a very conservative brand of hockey to try to protect their inexperienced goalie and despite allowing only 19 shots, Nie gave up 5 goals and Houston never really had a chance in a 5-3 loss. Fast forward two weeks later where Gillies, Noreau and Dubielewicz are back as is Robbie Earl who had a nice extended stint with the Wild. It should make for a different game right? Well the answer to that is both yes and no. (click on the link for the rest of the article)

I would've put more pictures but it takes forever to load on my computer. Enjoy! Any questions...just ask.

Admirals!

Aeros!

Oreos!

The Oreo Line?
