Just bought my four tickets for tonight's game on my lunch break. There was four other people in line to get tickets too. I'm ready for some hockey! Tonight's game is HUGE... This is difference between being up 3-1 and taking control or being tied 2-2 and it's down to a best of three series with Idaho hosting the last two. I'm expecting the crowd tonight to be even LOUDER than Tuesday night's crowd. CAN'T WAIT!
Even bigger to the players- a loss tonight means they HAVE to go to Idaho again. Maybe the coach should give them one incentive- a loss tonight and you will have a one way PLANE ticket to Boise followed by a one way GREYHOUND ticket back.
I would contact some mom-and-pop bus charter service like they did in the movie "Major League" and get some broken down jalopy of a bus that barely runs....."what's that coach?" "Oh, that is the bus we will be taking to Boise if we lose tonight!"......
The air travel is so bad that there isn't any need to threaten worse travel.
Idaho supposedly flew from Boise to Reno to Las Vegas to Columbus and then bussed in. The Cyclones trip wasn't much better (one less stop, but a bus in from Indy).
If this series goes back to Idaho the Cyclone players are looking at roughly 24 hours (round trip) worth of travel time. That's a serious incentive to get things taken care of in the next 2 days.
Hopefully the guys will come out flying. If they play anything like they did from the midway point in the second period through the first OT Tuesday, then each will be receiving a Championship Ring.

I was looking up the "heads" goalie stats for this season, appears pretty average, apparently he has alittle Dalton-itis. Lets get to him early and drop a big number on him. Win tonight and I think we have record numbers on friday.

.....then give it the sledgehammer treatment ala "slapshot": "walt! walt! what are you doin'?" "makin' it look mean!"
