Aeros make fool of T3I prognosticator!

Earlier this year I wrote a story about a game when the Aeros were supposed to play like X, but played like Y instead and won a game 6-2 when they woulda, coulda, shoulda lost by that same count.

Earlier today, I said that I don't make public predictions any more about this hockey team, but did so anyway. Now you know why I don't do that any more.

The rationale for my prediction of a blowout in San Antonio?

• Several key Aeros either out injured or on recall to Minnesota
• The Rampage outplayed the Stars in Cedar park Tuesday and took one on the chin, instead
• A very good crowd of 6,000 + in attendance expected against the team's biggest intrastate rival
• The Rampage score a lot of goals, crash the net and those are two things the Aeros don't normally handle very well

So what do I know?

Anton was outstanding in the first period and played well enough to get the Aeros back to .500.

Chad Rau (pictured above at Colorado College) continues his great rookie season with two more goals and just needs one more to get 20.

The "grind" line of Kassian-McMillan-Kalus teamed up for a very huge and pretty goal early in the third period to give the Aeros the lead for good.

If the Aeros can find a way to win at least one of their last two games, they'll finish at .500 and net 80 points in the standings. Those are two things you don't normally see from a team that was virtually eliminated a month ago (much less in last place!)

No more predictions from me on this blog for a long time :)

And like our rogue friend, Mr. IceVet, would say:

Go Aeros!
