Aeros "system" puts Rivermen on the brink

I saw the first two games in person, and I thought it was incredible how they just kept coming back every time they allowed a goal. They won Game 1 fairly easily, and Game 2 was way more of a grind.

The Aeros took a 2-0 lead in the series with Carson McMillan's first career playoff goal.

Then, in Game 3 on Monday, we saw the Aeros overcome 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to take a 5-3 win. The question now is, Is there anything Peoria can do to stop the Aeros and their machine-like style? So far the answer is no. Everything Peoria has dished out has been answered two-fold. Simply astounding that the Rivermen have had absolutely no answer to this point.

As ICEVET would say, serious Aeros fans have seen these series go either way. The side that leads 3-0 gets a convincing win and moves on; I can easily see an Aeros blowout tonight. Then there are times, like the Aeros in 2009, where there is zero quit. The Aeros won back-to-back games over the Moose after Manitoba took a 3-0 lead that year.

The Aeros were just too exhausted to get a third win to force a third straight Game 7.

What do you expect out of the game tonight? Is Peoria going down in four or five games, or are we going to see Game 6 Friday night at Toyota Center?

I am assuming that John survived the threat of bad weather in Illinois and made it to Peoria. He'll give us some real time updates on Twitter I am sure.

Looking forward to the game tonight; hope you are too.
