After starting round 2 of the Kelly Cup Playoffs with a split of the first four games all on home ice, the Adirondack Thunder headed east to Manchester with hopes of taking two straight on the road and finishing off the Monarchs.
Despite missing several key players to injuries, the Red Army would pull it off, thanks in part to a cult hero stopping nearly everything in his crease, and a newly-minted captain finishing off the 9th longest game in ECHL history.
For the first time ever, the Thunder sit just four wins away from the Kelly Cup Finals.
