Though things weren\u2019t all smiles for the Bears.<\/p>\n
After jumping out to a two-goal lead, the team took its foot off the gas pedal, allowing three unanswered tallies to Hartford.<\/p>\n
The Wolf Pack\u2019s Dylan Roobroeck got on the board for Hartford first after a cross-ice pass by Ivan Miroshnichenko was behind Graeme Clarke.<\/p>\n
With 5:44 remaining in the second period, Brett Berard tied the game, skating to the middle of the ice and beating Clay Stevenson over the glove.<\/p>\n
Berard added his second in overtime after a scramble in front of the net to win the game for Hartford.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t like my team tonight,\u201d Bears head coach Derek King said. \u201cWe played solid hockey for 10 minutes of the second period, and we were all over them. We had a fragile team on the ropes. They had nothing going, and then we just backed off. And then we just, we did not play. We stood still, we slapped pucks away, we didn\u2019t break out clean, we were not good.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey weren\u2019t moving,\u201d he added. \u201cTheir brains were shut off. And like I said, the 10 minutes of the second period was good hockey. We were jumping, we were on the forecheck, we were holding on to pucks, we were low to high, we were getting bodies to the net, we were putting pucks to the net, and it worked. And then they decided that it\u2019s not going to work anymore, so they\u2019ll just stop skating and turn pucks over. And we had \u2013 not everybody \u2013 probably half the team worked, and the other half were just, I don\u2019t know what their problem was, but I\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
