I bought this at my Monday night game--seeing the Johnstown Chiefs play the Cincinnati Cyclones. of course I'll have pictures of the arena/a fuller review "later" like all my other game recaps...for now let me sum it up:
OMG how does a team have 5 shots on goal in the FIRST FORTY SECONDS and 14 SOG before the VISITING TEAM EVEN GETS ONE and they're one of the TOP TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE and have a good home record AND they're playing the ABSOLUTE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE and yet they manage to lose to the WORST TEAM by a SCORE OF 5-1? FUCKING HELL, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN?!!
still, it was entertaining, especially because of the fight/brawl that happened with 23 seconds left on the clock, and the fact that I was sitting close enough to the Chiefs' bench to heckle them if I wanted to (I didn't, but I heard other people). it was a lot of entertainment for $12. and I did want a hat in part because it's such a silly logo, and because I'm from Iowa State Cyclones country and hey, it's another team with the same colors called the Cyclones! why not?

I don't know if he has a Girls In Minor League Hockey Hats fetish but I know he has a deep rooted love for the Cyclones, so I'm going point my man Gonz in this direction a.s.a.p. There are a number of Cyclones pieces in the HGW archives from him and he is very well versed in Cyclones lore. I'll never forget the phone call I got from him from inside a crazed, chaotic US Bank Arena in 2008 when they won the Kelly Cup.
Couldn't hear a word he was saying above the screaming but it sure as hell sounded like fun.
Ha, thanks! I enjoyed the game, but I'd like to go back and see them win--I know they've won championships...
They won a championship in '08.
And you should be warned, K, that I not only love the Cyclones but also redheads. Your picture has me a little hot under the collar.
Thanks, Gonz. As long as you're not that married guy who tried to pick me up at the fancy hotel bar while I was killing time before the Megabus to Chicago, I'm flattered. Er, I'll have to tell the rest of that story...
I am married (to a readhead) but I've never tried to hit on anyone else. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to practice on you at a future time and place, TBD.
