Martin Grenier squashes Simon "Turd" Ferguson
The Hartford Wolf Pack lost to the Portland Pirates in Portland on Thursday, 4-1, to fall behind in their best-of-seven Atlantic Division Finals playoff series, 3 games to 2. Zenon Konopka tallied 2 goals and an assist for Portland, and now has 9 goals and 10 assists in 11 playoff games this year. Konopka also has a 23-game points streak dating back to the regular season.
The Wolf Pack were whistled for 18 infractions in this game, good for 58 minutes in penalties, with Martin Grenier getting suspended afterwards by the AHL for two games "as a result of his actions in the game on Thursday". That's the generic official explanation, at least. The good news is, Grenier got sick of seeing Simon Ferguson constantly running into goalie Chris Holt (that's Holt on the ice, in the background of the photo above), and decided to do something about it. If you remember, Ferguson is the guy who practically took Holt's head off with a spear and a high stick in Game One of the series (Game, Blouses).
Game Six will be played in Portland on Sunday, with Game Seven scheduled for the Hartford Civic Center (you know-- a building that actually has lights and real bathrooms and everything) on Wednesday.
