Lundstrom Earns First Pro Shutout as Jackals Blank Admirals, 4-0
ELMIRA, NY – December 12, 2015 – Niklas Lundstrom stopped all 46 shots he faced as the Jackals blanked the Norfolk Admirals 4-0 tonight at First Arena. Mike Seidel, Mark Bennett, Justin Kea and Kevin Clare each scored as the Jackals extended their winning streak to five games.
A few choice shots from the Heavyweight Bout during the Third Period of tonight’s Elmira Jackals Game. #19 Garrett Klotz won his Fisticuffs vs. #47 Danick Paquette, and the Jackals also prevailed with a tightly contested and very well played Shoot-Out Victory, on Night ONE of this STAR WARS weekend!!
Photographers Note: I thought it was hilarious……pictures 6 & 7….Paquette is getting the shit beat out of him, and all the while he’s smiling and laughing at the guys on his bench who were cheering him on! Hockey Players!! Ya Gotta Love’ Em!
Jackals Forward Justin Bernhardt takes to the air in pursuit of the puck during the third period of tonight’s exciting game vs. Kalamazoo at First Arena. Elmira was a 3-1 victor and win the 3 game weekend series 2 games to 1.
Check out the floating puck, just to the inside/left of the I in GEICO on the far post, floating just in front of the Jackals Emblem on the chest of Goalscorer Alan McPherson’s Jersey.
BOOM! 3-1 Jackals
At 14:42 of the frame the Jackals struck again and increased their lead to 3-1. Allan McPherson stepped out of the penalty box and accepted a stretch pass from Spiro Goulakos for a breakaway strike.
Unfazed by the late first period marker, the Jackals controlled the pace of play and the offensive opportunities, firing 15 shots on net in the second period to Kalamazoo’s six. Just past the halfway mark of the period, Justin Kea worked the puck ahead to Allan McPherson who streamed in firing a shot that caused a loose puck in front that was banged home by Tyler Currier. The goal was discussed at length by the officiating crew, but the final decision was a good goal.
I’ve shot it many times….this Cold, Black Stone Sentinel of Solemn Honor. For men my age, it always takes our breath away. Because if not for the Grace of God and the lucky timing of the stroke of Nixon’s 1973 Vietnam War ending pen, my name could very easily now, have been etched on the inside of this wall, looking out at a life that could have been. So I wanted to do something different this time. So rather than trying to battle the crowds, the distractions, the sheer overwhelming number of endless names on each panel, as I have done in the past, I decided to simplify this shoot to it’s most basic form.
Alpha & Omega. The Beginning & The End.
I simply focused on the very first name on the Wall, and the very last name on the Wall. Each name placed there pretty much in the very order in which each soldier died during this God Awful Atrocity of War.
