Three in a row for the Admirals as they advance. Was a fun game last night.

Yep! Nice series comeback!

The Admirals fought hard but the Firebirds were just better. Good season though

[HarryDoyle]

Game 7 tonight. Who ya got? I think Florida will narrowly escape the biggest choke job in hockey history.

[HarryDoyle]

Nailed it!

[Samurai Bucky]

It was a great game.

Really happy for the Panthers, they seem like a great group. McDavid will get his cup next year most likely.

Tkachuk is a bit of a goon.  Nurse outgooned him during the Stanley Cup, though... 😉

@yourout @stoutdude04. I enjoyed the Badger Hockey conversation this season. Here’s to next year. See you then 

Just renewed my Saturday tickets for next year. Might try and move a few rows if possible. 

It gets me out of the house in the winter and I like the college atmosphere.

Nice. Looking forward to this season. I like some of the new additions to the squad, they appear to fit Hastings system well

Opening weekend for Bucky.

Tough start to the season. 

Better than advertised Lindenwood and as I feared with the loss of Cruz Luscious goal scoring is going to be a challenge.

Definitely not an ideal way to start the season. Hopefully they find a way to generate some offense. There is some talent on this team

Time to dial back the expectations. 

This is not a good hockey team right now. 

They will get better but yikes we look slow.

 

On a side note...I hate the smaller rink.

I’ll chalk it up to being early in the season and hope they peak as a team in March

Hope so but I think goal scoring is going to be a big problem.

[RedStickBrew]

We got one goal scorer in Finley so far

[yourout]

Well an ugly win is better than an ugly loss. 

 

[RedStickBrew]

Finley to Mosley combo for a early PP goal was pretty sweet

[RedStickBrew]

Not sweet is only one shot on goal during a 5 minute major PP

Cruz and Bantle and Silye are going to be very hard to replace. 

Going to have to find a way to win a lot of 3-2 and 2-1 low scoring affairs. 

If they give up three goals they're going to struggle to win.

The smaller ice sheet is not our friend.

Not tonight. Ohio State is big and physical

And we really don't have much for big time natural goal scorers.

No but I do like how they have responded in the second and third period. They will need to find ways to manufacture goals this year
