I finally wrote my series preview for PHN this morning, but it's not out yet and it's not all that good because I didn't have much time to work on it. I'll link it when it's up, but for now, if you're the type of person who likes predictions, I'll go ahead and give you mine:
Aeros in 6.
Though if I'm being totally honest with you, I'm still so blown away by the sweep of Peoria, my heart says nobody's ever going to beat the Aeros again. So, clearly I've lost my Objectivity Hat and have the tin foil hat on instead.
The last time I thought, even jokingly, that the Aeros would never lose again was after game 2 of the season. And then the Aeros went on to lose 5 in a row. So let's hope I'm not THAT wrong again. :)
I think, like most of you, I can see them getting down early as they get their playoff legs back. But the potential snowballing doom-like effect of that, which I'd normally anticipate in my glass-half-empty kinda way, doesn't really seem like an issue with this team. They'll rebound. Just how quickly?
As far as positional predictions, I wrote that the Aeros had the edge at offense, defense is a draw, and goaltending is a draw unless Dekanich is healthy, and then it's a clear edge to Milwaukee.
Since PHN doesn't have a writer in Milwaukee, I have to cover the away games, too. Which means I HAVE to watch and can't chicken out like I did on Game 4. As such, I'm going to try and tweet the game tonight, at least what I can by watching online, so look for that if you're a Twit. Chris should have pictures for us at some point, too, so that's very cool.
I dunno about y'all, but it's been so long since I've seen these guys, I was getting pretty entrenched in baseball season (GO JAYS!). Getting back on the hockey wagon, though, and it's gonna be a fun week!
