This was a game worth forgetting. I didn't take many pics during the game because I was flat out disgusted. The Admirals gave up a goal on the opening shift and two more before the first period was over. They battled back to tie it up in the third because Chicago went into "prevent defense" mode with their three goal lead. The Wolves would win it with a power play goal and an empty netter to make it 5-3.
The promo for the night was a bit awkward. Five former AWA wrestlers were on hand to sign autographs. When I was a kid 20+ years ago, these guys were the wrestlers that we saw on TV before the WWF became a big deal. I'm guessing those guys don't have any kind of pension or healthcare plan from their days in the ring, so the fee their appearance fee probably meant alot to them. I didn't bother to get any pics of them... sorry.
As always, feel free to save and share these photos,
but please do not link directly to them from another web site/message board/blog/etc.
