Down the Stretch - Post Lake Erie Update

I really, really did not realize how much Krys Kolanos and Nolan Schaefer meant to this team.
Now we all know.

Nice stretch of hockey, eh? Home ice is out the window, so the Aeros' recent "crapped-their-pants" episode pretty much assures them one of three scenarios:

1) The lose all three remaining games, and either QC or Chicago pulls off the miracle to oust them.

2) They end up No. 3 and lose to Peoria in five or six games

3) They stay the No. 4 seed and give the Admirals a decent run for their money in the postseason.

(Note to No. 3 -- If you like thrilling AHL hockey, be sure to cheer for the Nashville Predators or anyone playing the Minnesota Wild.)

Enjoy the updated chart ... as you can see, Iowa was eliminated with their loss at San Antonio last night. Chicago is out with a loss at Milwaukee today and Quad City hosts Rockford next week, before wrapping up with a home and home against the Chops.

I thought Chicago was out.

BTW, what on earth does "Thrilling AHL hockey" have to do with the Aeros?

Hey! You stop that!

NO rooting for Nashville!

We will do our best to eliminate Chicago for you today.

Ah, at the rate we're going, I think your Ads sneeze harder than they'd have to work to beat the Aeros.

Maybe it would be best if we didn't make the playoffs. Watchuing this team play four more games would be too painfull.

I can't go Friday night and right now I really don't care about that.
