A Long Decade: 10 years ago, May 17, 2002

Goals 49 seconds apart, by Chris Armstrong and Jason Krog, early in the second period pace a 5-2 Sound Tigers win in Game 4 on this Friday night at Copps Coliseum. Bridgeport outshoots the Bulldogs 39-18 to take a 3-1 series lead. Krog’s goal, short-handed, makes it 3-1 and chases Marc Lamothe. The Sound Tigers lead 4-2 with 9:35 left in the third when Justin Mapletoft receives a major for high-sticking Chris Hajt; Bridgeport allows just two shots in five minutes, and Mapletoft comes out of the box to set up Trent Hunter’s insurance goal. Game 5 and a chance to wrap it up is the next night in Hamilton.
