Peoria 5, Iowa 4

All-in-all it was a pretty good game… Iowa came out kind of jumpy, but settled into a groove for most of the game. Couple of really bad goals in the second, including a little “oops! That was supposed to go in the OTHER net!” action. Couldn’t quite make the comeback, though, even though they spent the last 4:30 on the power play (and 2:00 of that on a 5-on-3). Oh well. Can only look up from here!

Arena looked kind of empty, but the attendance was 8,067, and the AHL’s average attendance was just a little under 6,000 last year, so I guess it’s not too bad.
