I didn't want to steal any thunder from our Condors Talk blog but I had to put my two cents on what I saw of the Condors game Saturay against Fresno.

I was working in the office Saturday night but when Condors beat writer Mike Griffith told me about a Truelson's shot and then the line brawl with as much enthusiam as he had over the phone, I had to watch the replay on Bright house 21.

First of all, how in the world does Truelson make that shot at the end of the second period. More importantly, what was the Fresno goalie doing? I couldn't see from the replay (*Note, a few more camera angles would be nice Bright house for the next game) but it looked like the puck hit a chunk of ice and just angled top left shelf. Did time run out before it went in? I'm glad the ECHL doesn't have video replay because that goal might not have counted.

Secondly, the goal that was taken away because of goalie interference. C'mon no interference at all but maybe that was a makeup for Truelson's trick shot.

And finally, the line brawl. Nothing like taking the gloves and sweater off to trade a few jabs with some knuckleheads. Kudelka dropped his guy and still kept punching. Venedam was outsized but did a great job of keeping an arm's length away until he could get in those punches to the head and ear. Now, Sean remember to keep that chin tucked cause you took a nasty one at the end.

On a personal note, I saw a line brawl and goalies go at it two years ago between the Charlotte Checkers and the Pee Dee Pride. Not often do you get to see goalies skate to center ice, drop their gloves and take off their masks.

Marty Raymond said this year's team was going to be physical, now we know it.
