The playoff picture is heating up in the AHL as well as the NHL for us in Austin. Our Stars remain in fourth place but they won a critical game agains the Rockford Icehogs (farm team for the Blackhawks) to stay in the running.
An overtime victory is always exciting yet what made it sweeter was the return of inaugural captain Landon Wilson returning to the lineup. He also scored two of the team’s four goals! That’s twice I’ve seen him in action with a pair of goals. Oddly, he got into a fight so I was hoping he’d get an assist to give us fans a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
This weekend, Somara and I hope to have a dinner with our friends Tina and Jeremy to work out the season-ticket plan for next year. The Stars’ near future is looking so good we will have to include the playoffs next month.
To kick off the excitement, I installed a little poll plug-in on my site. Throw in your two cents. I included a category for the uninterested.
