Coachella Firebirds: News and Discussion

[Fistfullofbeer]

Was an ugly game all around. The team was always on the back foot, and Driedger didn't have the best game—also, a lot of late-game shenanigans.

Noticed that the Poturalski/McCormick/Hayden/Evans/Ottavainen unit got 10-minute misconduct's, and assumed that meant late game shenanigans...

Saw the box score just now, nine misconducts doled out in the final three minutes of the game - holy shit.

It's a real shame some plonker felt the need to injure Wright, this experience would have been invaluable for him.

Man, the Firebirds have come out absolutely flying.

Cruising 5-1 with under 10 minutes left. Milwaukee just pulled their goalie with 9:16 to go.

Good to see the Firebirds about to eliminate Admirals and going back to Calder Cup

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

We won. Hershey lost today. Hopefully Wright gets enough time to heal up and play in the finals.

This is AWESOME for any organization, but for one still new in their market it’s phenomenal. The CVF are entrenching themselves in their community.
I’d love to see the Monsters push the Bears a little farther and give the Birds that much more rest.

We don't have a Mavericks thread, but they just lost in the ECHL Kelly Cup Finals, too (to a buzzsaw).

Should probably make one for them. Will do that soon.

Maybe that’ll help my old buddy Tad get a job at a higher level.

Bears fan here. Forget them wearing us out. You guys might be PLAYING the Monsters at this rate

Any idea if Wright is healthy for G1?

Man, Erie has done it! Won three in row to force a Game Seven. This is insane, and Coachella Valley just gets to sit back and rest up.

How did Erie do it? Wasn’t Hershey playing Cleveland?

Yep. Cleveland.

I did not realize that they had both Mateychuk and Jiricek. That is a pretty damn good backend.

I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find anything.

Sorry, the Monsters have been known as both Lake Erie and Cleveland at different points in their existence.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I guess it's Hershey after all.

Man, they got the fight of their lives from Cleveland.
