hf101 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Leighton sure was a sieve tonight. Crazy third period. Last nights game at the WC was a much tighter game. It was difficult to determine what really caused that bench brawl....The camera was on the Brown fight. Sestito surely get a suspension. found this: An intense game nearly spiraled out of control in the third amid a bench altercation that featured Hershey’s Joel Rechlicz and Adirondack’s Tom Sestito at its epicenter.That had been foreshadowed during pregame warmups when the pair jawed at the red line. Rechlicz, a healthy scratch Friday, said he had seen Sestito slash Bears goalie Dany Sabourin during the pregame warmups at Citizens Bank Park.“He’s throwing elbows at guys when I’m not in the lineup,” Rechlicz said. “When I am in the lineup, he’s quiet as a mouse. I don’t want to see any of my guys get hurt. I’ve got everybody’s back in there. Good team effort. We got the win. That’s the most important thing.”Rechlicz crushed Sestito with a check late in the third. Sestito exited to the bench for a line change instead of taking an opportunity to fight.“That’s what he does,” Rechlicz said. “He runs his mouth and doesn’t back anything up. I wasn’t too surprised or shocked about it.”A fracas broke out when Brown took a retaliatory run at Rechlicz.While Hershey’s Zach Miskovic fought Brown, Rechlicz went toward the Adirondack bench to aid teammate Danny Richmond. He and Sestito ultimately traded blows, with Rechlicz on the ice and Sestito on the bench.The incident resulted in 16 penalties worth 120 minutes. Along with Rechlicz and Sestito, Miskovic, Richmond and Adirondack’s Cullen Eddy and Brandon Manning got game misconducts.“We had a scrum there at the end,” Rechlicz said, “and everybody sticks up for each other.”pennlive.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocker Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 BTW.....I watched Keith Aucoin when he played for Norwich. Pretty decent division three player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm sure Sestito threw the first punch, which is entirely suspendable of course, but going back at the bench seems foolhardy at best. I've never quite understood the decision to throw punches at a full bench of players. Seems destined for failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xganarchy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 anyone watching the Phantoms this season? Any idea how Lauridsen is looking? He was getting good reviews from camp this summer, could he become the big body we need to clear the front of the net in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Don't know if anyone knows this, but appartently the Flyers have informed Leighton that he will not be the first call up should Bob or Bryz get hurt. Read it last week in the Windsor Star.....Leights gets a lot of coverage here due to his Spitfire ties. The first call up will be Jason Bacashawa....

Podein25 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 @jammer2 - "unwelcome person" is a very good translation/defintion, I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trognitz Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Hershey is screwed this year if they have to rely on that debutante Clackson for an enforcer. At least the Wrecker could actually fight. Edited August 31, 2012 by Trognitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
