THE BOYS ARE BACK

by John Mastalir jmastalir@yahoo.com

Professional hockey returns to the Orleans Arena and Las Vegas !

The Wranglers sixth year here and sixth in the ECHL......are back with the new quest for the Kelly Cup !

This highly successful franchise went into June last summer and came within two wins of the title.....having won 3 seven game series and extended their season to the limit.

Nine players from that roster return to a team like all its opponents in the minor leagues constantly shuffling labor up and down.

2008-2009 team features twin veterans Chris and Mike Ferraro and the best coach-general manager in hockey Glen Gulutzan.....he has his work cut out for him.

Something new and something different....still have this horrible rap music at stoppage of play, still have their mascot "the Duke" ...an new body in an old costume....still start on time and they still chase the puck.

Lots of fun Thursday and Friday with a win and a loss against Ontario and the same two teams play again tonight in Ontario....more bad fun. Halloween the next home game....still the best entertainment and entertainment value in Las Vegas.

A+ 100
