The IceHogs journey in the AHL playoffs began with a dramatic, overtime win against Iowa in Rockford. Game Two — and Three, if necessary — would take place in Iowa; the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs is a best-of-three format. So the Hogs were looking to “sweep” their way into the second round on Friday night; I hate using the word “sweep” for only two games, but it works I guess. David Gust scored the game’s only goal in the second period, and the IceHogs took a 2-1 lead to the third. And it was Buddy Robinson who came through with the OT GWG and Rockford advances to the second round!
