With three of the first four games in Milwaukee it would be nice to jump out with a win in game 1. I think the series should go 6 or 7 though.

Cassivi is reminding me of Giguere by the way hes carrying his team...

I think the best players on Milwakee is Hamuis and Gamache.... Tootoo is gonna nail alot of ducks and be a pain as well....

Tootoo might not be playing tonight according to the Nashville board. Apparently he injured his shoulder last weekend while playing Cincy.

It was reported on a Nashville radio station (106.7) that Tootoo should play. The guy reporting it was Preds play-by-play man Pete Weber, so one would think he would know.

It should be a great series. The Ads need Tootoo's physical presence because with our injuries, that's something we lack. We need to crank up that power play and make Cassivi work for his wins.

Tootoo might not be playing tonight according to the Nashville board. Apparently he injured his shoulder last weekend while playing Cincy.

looks like he is still injured, not in their lineup tonight.

McAlpine takes a hooking penalty.

he seems to get a lot of hooking, holding and tripping penalties.

sign of an old slow d-man.

why is he in the lineup instead of Jordan Smith?

Cincy's turn to go on the powerplay...

Klein takes a seat.

Lupul scores... :yo:

set up by Foster, other assist to Rome.

why is he in the lineup instead of Jordan Smith?

McAlpines experience I would guess. I think Smith will see action this series though. Sounded like Foster made a nice pass to Lupul for the goal, I'm listening to sportsjuice though, couldn't get homer to work.

Milwaukee ties it on their 3rd powerplay chance.

lets stay out of the penalty box guys!!!

1-1.

O'Brien high sticking...

then Glencross crosschecking during the penalty kill...

5 on 3 for Milwaukee for 1 minute 20 seconds... :shakehead

Gamache scores his second powerplay goal of the game...

2-1 Milwaukee

stop taking penalties!!! :rant:

Glencross shouldn't have been called since Upshall had done the same to him seconds earlier. 3-1 Admirals :madfire:

:banghead: :banghead: stop taking penalties stop taking penalties!!!!!!!!!!

3-1 Milwaukee

3-1 Milwaukee after 1 period.

there's a Milwaukee chatroom here
http://www.geocities.com/admiralschat/

not a lot of people in, but if anyone's interested

O'Brien just canceled out the powerplay Cincy was about to get with a roughing penalty after the whistle.

:shakehead

4-1 Milwaukee

hat-trick goal by Gamache.

4-1 Milwaukee

So, Anyone else listening to Getzlaf's Hitmen in game 7?

Still 0-0.

There was a scrum and the ref decides to give 4 minutes to Kunitz and only 2 minutes to the Wyatt Smith.

Upshall started the scuffle by taking a shot on goal after the whistle.

apparently Perrault is out with an injury again rather than being a healthy scratch.

said to be day to day.

does anyone know the email address to email the b2 networks admirals announcer?

Penner tip in goal to bring it to 4-2.

assists to Popovic, Kunitz.

4-2!

Penner from Popovic and Kunitz

about time

4-2 after 2 periods.

Maybe they have the momentum to come back in the third...

Cincy has had quite a few rallies this year so its possible.

1-0 Calgary

at least they're doing well.

With only 4 minutes left in the Calgary game do you think that Getzlaf will be signed to a tryout for the remainder of the Cincy playoffs?

not sure if he can
Phaneuf couldn't
Coburn did, but Coburn played in the States (I think it has something to do with US Immigration)

And the Ads have blown quite a few leads this year, so it is all together possible.

whistle happy refs in the 3rd

O'Brien throwing some big hits to send a message in the last couple minutes.

O'Brien gets 2 and a 10.

5 on 3 to end the game.

Konopka trying to get at Paul Brown after the final horn.

4-2 loss.

Well it certainly sound like the ref was on our side, still we won the shots 2 to 1 or so with much less PP time so it's very promising.

More disicpline and things will be ok.

We took too many penalties :shakehead ...we need to play much more deciplined here in cincinnati on Friday. We can't let them get another win and go up 2-0 in the series. Let's Go Ducks!!
