| Nice to see the headline on today's FRONT PAGE of the Enquirer sports page "Experience Favors Cyclones" and a small article about tonight's Game 7 ... it will be interesting to see what kind of crowd will show up, it being a Monday. I believe there was 2500 for last year's Monday night game 7 against Reading. |

| Unfortunately with the weather, it being a Monday, and so far no promotion....ie cheap beer or food, i'm not holding out for a big crowd. i'm trying to bring my ten though, hopefully others will do the same. The crowd can play a huge role in tonights game. |

I am not going to tonights game because of two reasons. 1) I feel as if I'm a jynx (goes back to last season) 2) we have indoor baseball training that I can't miss cause I'm the coach.
Best of luck to the Clones and hope to see everyone at the next round games. |

The food/beer discounts will just be for weekend games, they wouldn't throw one in on a Monday night (unfortunately).
As far as the crowd advantage, actually maybe a smaller crowd would benefit them better the way things have been going ... |

| Really? I know it hasn't played any difference thus far, but with both teams playing for their lives. The crowd would seem to be the only difference in edge available. That is if you don't factor that "desire" catch phrase in. |

Saturdays game really wore me out, I more than expected to win that game by about 3 goals, kis are both sick and I called off tonight to watch over them with my wife, I plan to watch on b2 or something. Of all the years I've watched the Clones, this series does indeed match their M.O. one game they look unbeatable and would give the Bluejackets a game, and then in the next breath, play to where a "mite" team could could beat them 2 games out of 4. the Clones ar no new strangers to stinking it up in front of large crowds, I think they almost want to make it look too good in front of the crowd instead of getting it done dirty. Some of the best games I've watched them play are after an ice storm, of something of the sorts. I'm way too passionate about this team though to go tonight, and if what happens tonight like it did on Saturday, knowing this Nailer team BARELY made the playoff would be too much for me
Some Nailer fans had written off Darling months ago, next time maybe Wheeling should actually do alittle bit more in the regular season, instead of hoping that anotherto help them into the playoffs and maybe this would be alittle easier for me to watch. talk about Snowballing....My .02 |

I am also passing on tonights game. There is nothing to make me think they can win anything at home, and I would rather stay away and be wrong that sit through it and be right.
The home crowd has made zero difference so far, so packing the house obviously makes no difference.
Best of luck Cyclones! |
...And on the eighth day, GOD created the Cyclones! |

| This game has all the makings of a classic head job, on one side you have the nailers,who I would expect, expect to win just because they are well....the away team. On the other side you have our clones, who think they should win, because they are the Home team, and after Saturday night have something to prove. hopefully the ECHL will see it that this game doesn't end with a controversal call, or the refs somehow make a difference in the game, I think that would be far worse than another 6-0 loss for us. hopefully this will be a game that down the road I will be pissed that I missed. maybe a barbaque game? one thing that is certain is that the more agressive team will win, no playing conservative, i would think that would be the game the nailers will paly tonight. I think this away team mentality might paly into their head too much...I can only hope, If so then we will see all one another sometime this weekend |

I'm thinking about changing my S/N to
"IHateFairWeatherFans". This is the only
Cincinnati team I fully support. I will go no matter
what. Win or lose, I love this team and they
have giving me more in the last 3 years then any
other team in Cincinnati. So if you don't want to
come then don't. But if you CAN make it you should
come and support the Cyclones. If Not I guess you will
fall in the Fair weather fan category that I hate so much.
I know who the REAL fans are and WE will be there tonight WIN
or LOSE. GO CLONES |

| ClonesFanNKY, pardon me but that is just stupid, seriously, STH since 1991, designed the 10th anniversary logo for the Clones in 2000. donated multiple sketches and items to the Clones fan Club for the pucks and pasta auctions, traveled to Orlando on vacation when they played the Solar Bears, went to Cleveland with the fan Club to watch countless games against the Lumberjacks. I own at LEAST 20 game worns, Section 124 row Q seats 1-3. My 1 and 3 year old has been to more Hockey games than most adults in Cincinnati, I don't have to justify myself to anyone. I damn well hope that I miss one of the greatest games of the year, and if you just happen to be there for it then great. I'll pay my money for B2 and watch it at home, But it's one thing I cannot stand is watching nailer fans in attendance celebrating, after backing into the playoffs. I cannot tolerate another awful officiated game like the one I saw on Saturday, and certainly we can all agree that the effort put forth by the team wouldn't rate too high on a few fans list. fair weather fans? save that crap for bengals season ticket holders |

They obviously did enough in the regular season that they could back into the playoffs. The Nailers are a very talented team, whether you want to believe it or not. When they play a full game, they can and probably will beat anyone in this league. The defense and goaltending have been weaknesses, and for whatever reason, those units have stepped up at USBA this series. There's no shame in losing to this year's Wheeling team. I think the 'Clones get the win tonight, but if they don't, it's not like a bad team beat them. |

Like I said Stay home then. I will be there for
the Cyclones WIN or Lose. If seeing the other team
win and celebrating bothers you why bother getting
into sports? You can't win all the time.(It would be
nice tho.)I'm just sick of all the ppl always bitching
when they lose and want to jump ship but when they win
they want to drink from the cup like they have been there
from the get go. |

| But they did "BACK" into the playoffs. They didn't get into the playoffs on their own, they needed help. I never said they were bad, and they did lead our division for some time, but they still backed in. nice to see that Darling is now the fairy tale story...months ago he was on the trading block for a new mascot. I'm not meaning to offend anyone from Wheeling...hell of a series but if they are as good as they are seeming to play now...one hell of a snowball job and they certainly could have reduced the stress level of Wheeling fans and making the playoffs if they would have only played this good. or at least played all their games at USBA |

Problem is, there may not be too many Wheeling fans there tonight. There weren't that many Saturday night I noticed. I suppose I could be wrong, but 8 hours of driving is a lot in one day to go to work the next.
If Wheeling does win, congrats to them though they may be the only ones celebrating it. |
