What a game this was, both teams skated hard the full game but the Griffins had just that little bit more left at the end. The Bootland-Filppula-Kopecky line is just plain awesome, all three of these guys were excellent tonight, Bootland was all over the ice and was always crashing the net. Filppula and Bootland were awesome on the penalty kill and Bootland scored with 1 second left in the 3rd to take it into OT and he got the 2nd star of the game. Every time this line is on the ice they generate an awesome forecheck which keeps the other team in their own zone. Matt Ellis was a work horse tonight and he led by example, he never quits and he played a big part in the 3rd goal with his digging and grinding behind the net. Greg Amadio and Kyle Quincey were both clearly the best Griffins d-men tonight, they kept it simple, played the body and were solid all night. Joey MacDonald played solid aswell tonight and he didn't have much chance on any of the four goals that the Admirals scored.

Three Stars:

#1- Bryan Helmer
#2- Darryl Bootland
#3- Scottie Upshall
