Pierre-Cedric Labrie scored 97 seconds into overtime, and Norfolk is one win away from the Calder Cup Final. Dustin Tokarski made 25 saves. Eddie Pasquale made one more, but needed yet another. The Admirals can wrap it up Tuesday night, or they’ll have to wait until Saturday to try again. (Three days off in St. John’s? I wouldn’t be heartbroken.) The league notes that this is now Norfolk’s second-longest winning streak this season. Only five? Slackers.
OKC kept trying to come back, but Matt Frattin’s second goal, with 2:02 left, gave Toronto the lead in a 5-3 win in a Victoria Day matinee in Toronto. The Marlies lead the series 2-1; they’ll go Wednesday and Friday, also at Ricoh.
Columbus promoted Brad Larsen to coach Springfield, following his old boss Rob Riley.

Trouble continues for the Allentown arena project.
“At the risk of being slightly hyperbolic, the fourth season of The Simpsons is the greatest thing in the history of the universe..” I won’t argue. I’ve said before that I worried, very strongly, that I would never again leave the house when Season 4 came out on DVD*.
And RIP, former WVa football coach Bill Stewart.
*-However, leaving the house allows one to earn money, and as we learned early the next season, “money can be exchanged for goods and services.” Woohoo!
