let it be known, i am a hockey fan.  ( i know, many wonder why) but as a long time season ticket holder for the cincinnati cyclones in the past, i regrent not re-upping when the team re-established itself after the ducks departure. let it be known, i will be holding next season...

anyway, tonight i attended my tenth clones game of the season, and it was nothing less than amazing.  the 1500 or so in attendence were obviously die hards. the place was louder than i've ever heard it, even when the lower bowl is full (9,000+) fans. 

the clones came out victorious, 5-3... to tie the playoff season with the Reading Royals at 2 a piece.  Game 5 will be tomorrow at USBANK arena..... here is the deal... tickets are ten dollars for anywehre in the bowl, and beers are only a dollar! 

honestly.  $10 tickets and $1 beers... not to mention an exciting fast pace game with a lot of fights?  where else can you find that kind of entertainment in this city? 

on to the good stuff.  tonight i witnessed something i've never seen at a hockey game... and i've witnessed hundreds.  Literally, before the puck hit the ice, the gloves did.  A fight after 3 seconds ran off the clock. the refs did nothing to stop it. the fight lasted a good 2.5 minutes before the clones player took the royals man down and pulled his shirt over his head.  one of the best hockey fights i've ever seen...

the night was full of action.  lots of fighits, though none as extreme as the one with 19:57 to go in the first period.... and lots of great hockey.  obviously ther ewas some bad blood left over from an incident that occured during mondays 5-2 clones loss...

anyway,  tomorrow is game 5 of the series, and hopefully we can send the series to reading wit ha 3-2 lead... i would like to see the place packed and jamming.  as i said before,  $10 ticktets, $1 beer, and what should be one hell of an exciting game. 

lets get behind the team in the city that ACTUALLY has a chance at winning a championship this season!!!!!
