Well we're back from Las Vegas and had a blast at the Wrangler's hockey game on Thursday night.Before the game I talked with a bunch of the fans out in the lobby and EVERY fan was saying about the same thing about last year.First,they described our team as bigger, faster and more physical than theirs.If they thought we were bigger and physical,could you imagine if they had seen Wheeling,Johnstown or Reading!! Second, our idiot "Band- Wagon fans" with their superballs were mentioned.Being hardcore fans going to a pre- season game,they all seemed to understand this wasn't normal fans and don't hold it against us.By the way, all their fans who were in contact with our fans who went out had nothing but good to say about you guys.Finally,most all were in agreement that their coach was an idiot for not yanking the goalie on their power play with about 5 minutes left and down by two in the third in game six!As usual,they won with us there.I think we are now 7-0 there,so you see why we couldn't go out for the finals last year.The best reaction to our jerseys was from their coaching staff when we first entered the building! They were up front greeting the fans and I think we took their spirit down 4 notches for a few minutes when they saw the logo again .One final thing,one of their hardcore fans (who would have made even the original section 60 crew proud)started ranting in fun about us having the nerve to enter their house with our jerseys on.All I said was" Is this better?" and lifted the jersey to show him our "Kelly Cup Champion"shirt and even he had to smile at that! As always,nothing but class from their fans and I never was more proud to be a Cyclone fan ! THE END  |
