By Jim Hodges,  Correspondent NORFOLK OK, hockey is the fastest game going. Speed everywhere. The puck's a blur. You've seen the ads. But sometimes the best plays seem to happen in slow motion, which was the story of Paul Szczechura's goal in the second period of the Norfolk Admirals' 4-2 win over Portland on Friday night at Scope.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Dustin Tokarski stopped 27 of 28 shots as the Norfolk Admirals surprised previously unbeaten Bridgeport 2-1 on Saturday. Norfolk (2-4-0-0) took a 1-0 lead when Paul Szczechura stole the puck and passed it to Brandon Bochenski, whose shot from the slot beat Sound Tigers goaltender Mikko Koskinen in the last second of the first period for his fourth goal of the season.

From staff reports NORFOLK Brandon Bochenski's goal with 14:06 left in the third period broke a scoreless tie as Norfolk defeated Manchester 2-0 for its first win of the season before a crowd of 2,948 at Scope on Saturday. Bochenski's goal came when a Juraj Simek shot ricocheted off Monarchs goaltender Jeff Zatcoff, then bounced off Bochenski's leg and into the net.

By Jim Hodges, Correspondent Quick, somebody call the folks at Dominion. Tell them to turn on the power. The Norfolk Admirals squandered seven extra-man opportunities Friday in their home opener, and the dearth of juice contributed mightily to a 2-1 loss to Manchester.
