Firewolves showing life later in the half.

Bandits are putting on a clinic.

Albany averages around 4000. I'd say all of them showed up. Bandits fans were another 12-1400. Albany fans booed us down when we did Bandits cheers.

There was no official attendance number announced. My estimate is 5400 based on the lower bowl holding 6000.

Too far. I live in NH. Albany is just 3.5 hours.

The locals are heading for the exits.

Now let's win it at home in front of 19K!

Three full sections of Bandits fans behind the bench. The rest of Banditland is spread around.

Close game so far.

Lower bowl holds 6K. I'm going to guess it's going to be just over 5K. Of that a [edit] quarter are Bandits fans.

Inside City Beer Hall. 5 tables and the bar, all Bandits. Have not seen anyone in Firewolves gear yet, but it's early. Shout singing breaking out. 5:45: packed, all Bandits

Just landed in Albany. Grabbing a slice at Sapienza's (excellent) before heading to City Beer Hall, where supposedly Bandits fans are meeting. Still early but only seeing Bandits colors.

Meanwhile in Buffalo for Game 2... Also.... I guess when you got nothing else ... I'm making the drive to Albany tonight.

Now up one. Canes on a long shift. Kreider with a 9 minute natural hatty

3-2 Boston

Just went to OT

Guess where I am? PWHL finals, game 3.

Petey with Craig Rivet as his assistant. Imagine the entertainment value of those two arguing behind the bench during games.

And it worked well for much of the season. We're not taking about a last place team here. Tied for 1st in division . 7th best record in the AHL. 17-5-2-2 since March 1. As for Syracuse, they played the Amerks 17 times and won 9. Two teams that were dead even all season that came down to one game.

Just for some perspective, the Amerks ended the regular season .611, tied for 7th overall in the AHL. They played at a .731 (17-5-2-2) pace since March 1. Losing a Game 5 isn't a reason to blow it all up.
