Milwaukee Admirals win 9th straight; top Rockford IceHogs 5-2

article

MILWAUKEE – Egor Afanasyev scored a pair of goals and dished out an assist to help power the Admirals to their ninth straight win in a 5-2 victory over the Rockford IceHogs on Friday night, Jan. 26, at Panther Arena.

The win kept the Ads perfect in 2024 and earned them some revenge over the IceHogs, who were the last team to beat Milwaukee back on New Year’s Eve in Rockford. Milwaukee’s record improves to 26-10-1 on the season, good for 53 points and first place in the Central Division.

Zach L’Heureux chipped in a goal and an assist in the game to extend his scoring streak to five games (4g-4a). His shorthanded tally in the third period was the Admirals league-leading 10th of the season.

In net, Yaroslav Askarov stopped 21 shots to earn his 16th win of the season and extend his personal winning streak to nine games as well. Both he and fellow netminder Troy Grosenick have won nine in a row, which is one shy of the team record for consecutive wins by a goalie.

Mark Jankowski continued his white-hot play with a first period goal, his 14th of the season and gives him 11 points (6g-5a) in his past five games and 16 points in the month of January. On the season the Hamilton, Ontario native is third in the AHL in scoring with 42 points (14g-28a) and first at +27.

Rookie Joakim Kemell returned to the Ads line-up after missing the past four games and picked up a goal 3:34 into the second period to give Milwaukee a lead they would not relinquish.

For Afanasyev he picked up his 18th and 19th goals of the season and needs just one more to become the 39th player in team AHL history to pot 20 in a season. His three-point night is his fifth of the season and third in his past six games.

The Admirals will go for lucky number 10 when they wrap up the week by visiting the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. Their next home game will be on Tuesday, Jan. 30, when they host San Diego at 6:30 p.m.

Milwaukee’s Newest 5-star Attraction Is… The Beached Yacht

Milwaukee’s Newest 5-star Attraction Is… The Beached Yacht

The newest “tourist attraction” in Milwaukee is the abandoned boat stuck since October at Bradford Beach. With 60 Google Reviews as of Thursday and listed as a “tourist attraction” on Google Maps, the location lovingly named “The Minnow” – a reference to the S.S. Minnow of Gilligan’s Island notoriety – has a perfect 5-star rating.

Nate Weiss, listed as a Local Guide on his Google account, wrote that visiting the beached boat is “a uniquely Milwaukee experience.” There’s actually two Google Map listings for the abandoned vessel. The other, terrifically labeled a “religious destination,” unfortunately is uncreatively titled “Milwaukee boat.”

Hurry! Voting closes for Best of the Burbs on Monday, Jan. 13.

The Minnow’s actual name is Deep Thought. The 33-footer slid ashore Oct. 13. Its owners, identified by WISN-TV as Richard and Sherry Wells of Mississippi, reportedly got caught up in a storm and ran out of gas. They were rescued, but efforts to pull it free thus far have been unsuccessful. Now with the shoreline ice thickening, there’s no hope of dislodging it until spring.

Here are some of our favorite takes social media has had in the past 90 days about Milwaukee’s favorite Minnow:

From the Google Reviews…

“There can be a bit of a wait, but the atmosphere is so electric the time flies by! Be sure to spend the extra $25 for the bottomless mimosas,” wrote Google userJoshua Sheeran. (It should be noted that there are no bottomless mimosas, or any other beverages offered by the non-existent crew of the beached boat. In fact, it’s probably best if you don’t eat or drink anything found in Bradford Beach’s sand. And definitely don’t kiss Ginger if she’s wearing her new lipstick.)

Exorbitant Rates!

Somebody Call Mr. Lightfoot

Dustin Schmaus thinks Gordon Lightfoot should come back from the grave to sonically eulogize Milwaukee’s Minnow: “It’s not the Edmund Fitzgerald, but it’ll do,” Schmaus wrote in his Google review.
