The Binghamton Senators and Houston Aeros split the first two games of the Calder Cup Finals in Houston, and now head to Binghamton for the middle three games of the series.  On Friday night the Aeros recovered from a 1-0 deficit at the second intermission to win 3-1.  Jed Ortmeyer (Michigan) scored the first two goals for the Aeros, and Warren Peters added an empty-netter to seal the win.  Colin Greening assisted on the Sens' only goal, scored by Bobby Butler (UNH) in the second period, and was +1 on the night.  The Sens rebounded to take game 2 the following night.  Butler again started the scoring, this time on the power play early in the first period, but Casey Wellman (UMass-Amherst) tied the game up with a power play of his own a few minutes later, and the last 55:33 of regulation were scoreless.  Jim O'Brien (Minnesota) won it for the Sens 7:54 into overtime.  Greening was even with one shot on goal.  Game 3 will be played in Binghamton tomorrow night.

Greening had one official SOG but according to a friend who watched the game, he played a great game and rang two shots off of the post.

Colin Greening has been blogging about the Sens playoff run.  The most recent, brief post is about travel, his family and press coverage.

Here's an older entry (May 21) about beating Charlotte and signing his new contract.

Colin Greening and the Binghamton Senators were beaten 2-1 by the Houston Aeros on Wednesday night, and now trail the Calder Cup Finals by the same margin.  Aeros captain Jon DiSalvatore (Providence) scored just 1:08 into the game to give Houston the early lead, then set up Nate Prosser (Colorado College) for an insurance goal in the second period; Patrick O'Sullivan assisted on both goals.  Ryan Keller's power play goal early in the third cut the deficit to one goal, but the Aeros held firm to deny the Sens the equalizer.  Matt Hackett stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Houston net to earn the win.  Greening was even and did not record a shot on goal.  The Sens will attempt to once again even the series tonight in Binghamton.

They later changed the scoring on the B-Sen's first goal...Greening did not end up getting credit for the goal...I think it went to #16....But, I didn't get his name.

The goal went to Cody Bass.
I watched the video back this morning, and it did look like Bass was the one who actually hit it in off Greening's wraparound.

The B-Sens won game five tonight and head to Houston with a 3-2 lead in the series....A very exciting night in & around Broome County Arena...I don't believe Colin Greening figured in the scoring....It did look like he was getting a lot of ice time in the third period when the Sens were nursing a 3-2 lead...I think they might have been double-shifting him for a while....

A great night and I wish the B-Sens a lot of luck in Houston Tuesday night...I wish I could be there...They looked great these last two games...

Indeed they did! Thanks redice and amerks for posting the news. I meant to sooner but I broke my arm on Sunday and sort of lost track of it. (Lost track of the thread, not my arm.) Congratulations to Colin!
