The urban camo failed to make them invisible on the rink.
The five-game run of wins was great while it lasted and it secured their spot in the playoffs. Unfortunately, clinching second in the division was done by the Rockford Icehogs (who they will face in the last regular home game) losing to the Milwaukee Admirals. There’s a slight chance they can take first to keep home ice against Chicago but I think the door will shut on that too.
Last night, the Stars broke out these “third” jerseys to honor the US Military (Fort Hood in Kileen, TX is around an hour north of here). These uniforms were then auctioned off for charity. Good riddance, they’re ugly and rather crass. I thought about bidding on one but I think my minimum bid of $250 would be better used to ousting chickenhawk and oil whore, Republican John Carter who also received the least applause. Yeah, I know, politicians are always boo’d or given lukewarm responses at sporting events. They shouldn’t bother coming, sports are a non-partisan thing.
This morning Jeremy sent me a link proving how Milwaukee outdid us on the “third” jersey…
Words fail me on how lame the Admirals looked! Meanwhile, I’m getting a horrible craving for garlic bread and pasta because it resembles the tablecloth of an Italian restaurant. Milwaukee can’t get a break after having their logo redesigned by Tim Burton some years ago.
Anyway, we’re set for our playoff tickets. Let’s go Austin Stars! The Calder Cup is coming here, not Hershey despite them getting to host next year’s All Star Game.
What’s this Austin Stars team you’re always talking about? All I know about are the TEXAS Stars.
