THE BOYS ARE BACK !
Las Vegas best entertainment returns for a sixth season at the Orleans Arena.
Last June the Las Vegas Wranglers ECHL (double aa) hockey club went to the sixth game of the championship ......finishing two wins short of the Kelley Cup quest.....the mission continues with the opening of the 08-09 season October 23rd.
Preparations are under way with the first pre season game in the bag on Thursday with a 5-4 shootout win over Bakersfield. What a game this was for me as a fan......competitive, started on time, the players chased the puck with a semi vengeance, a penalty shot, a new mascot, lots of cool plays and some not so cool....young players trying to make the team (Wranglers suited up 20)....a veteran presence with the return of the Ferraro twins....a look at some new blood with one of them (Matt McKnight) scoring the only shootout goal....they resurafaced the ice prior to the shootout (what ?)..... and a great staff at the arena as always.
Coach-GM Glen Gulutzan is one of my hereos......teaching, coaching, procuring players, keeping cool and running the show for all six years this team existed...... he and media contact Josh Fisher work at this 24 hours a day and they give me great pleasure covering this team and enjoying the play.
Just a damn 100 A+
