In an intense Game 4, the Hershey Bears clinched a 6-4 victory against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, setting the stage for a decisive Game 5. The match concluded with heightened tensions, especially after Phantoms goaltender Cal Petersen poked Bears goalie Clay Stevenson, sparking a confrontation. Stevenson recounted the incident, emphasizing Petersen's provocation. Both teams exhibited frustration, with bears players taunting the Phantoms' fans, resulting in multiple penalties that showcased the fierce rivalry and high stakes as they head into the final game of the series at the Giant Center.
"I don't know if you watched what he did but he just skated off and poked me in the pads," Stevenson said per video from Inside The AHL's Tony Andro.
The checking-line winger appeared to wink at the Lehigh Valley bench after he dove to draw a high-sticking penalty on Anthony Richard with 3:52 remaining in the third period.
