AHL All Star game.. 3rd period report.

The final period of the AHL All Star Game is over. It was a great game and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Final score 11-8 in favor of the East.

Let me get the negative out of the way. The commentators and TV broadcast was horrible. The audio quality drove me close to insanity during gameplay. There were hardly any replays and they would never tell us any stats during the game.

Ok. Rant over.. Time for game review. Lots of great saves by both goalies but naturally I'm going to brag abotu Dekanich. Lots of great saved including what looked like his own version of the YMCA with 10:32 left in the game. With 8:09 left, Gordon scores his 2nd goal of the night to extend the East's lead. Then Bobby Butler strikes for the East off the post with 7:35 left in game. With 2:17 left Alex Giroux gets his 2nd of the night with a goal for the West.

It was nice to hear the TV announcers spend 10 minutes talking about Dekanich during the game. Gave him major props for his size and skills. They said " Nashville likes em big" in which I yelled at the TV "That's what she said!" He was the topic of conversation for most of the 3rd and I actually saw multiple highlights from him. Somebody at the TV has a man crush on him. Francais Wathier gets teh final goal for the East with 8 secs left int eh 3rd.
