First thing to do when you go to Danbury is have a great tasting Whalers Burger at Two Steps, the Whalers fans hang out. It is a two minute walk from the arena and you can't go wrong for the price!

That is how the first period ended, 1-0 favor of Danbury.

A's #18C J.Dolgy found Whalers goal when a lose puck showed up in front of him and he lofted it over the right arm of #20G P.Vetri, score 2-1 Brooklyn.
