The hometown Providence Reds beat the Hershey Bears 11-3 to tie their playoff series at 1 game each. Two nights later, the Reds won the best of three series.
We travel 5 years and a short distance away to the Boston Garden. The Bruins were determined to get off to good start in the Eastern conference semi final series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They pummeled the Maple Leafs 10-0 and went on to to win the series in a 4 game series sweep.
We travel across the Canadian border and into the 1970s. We arrive in 1977 at the Montreal Forum, where the Montreal Canadians took out the Washington Capitols by a score of 11-0.
We finally arrive at April 2, 2000 at the WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, West Virginia for an East coast Hockey League game. Thanks to a 7 goal third period the hometown Wheeling Nailers blow out the Toledo Storm by a score of 14-2.
