Loved it when as they were announcing the Aces, after each name, the fans added a "sucks".
Only thing we wanted to see but did not, were some fights - my buddy figured it was the only ECHL game he would see without a single fight. I think there were only a few minor penalties called (the reffing was awful - the two ref system is definitely better, as is having a ref who can keep up to the play).
Not sure why it was the case, but neither team seemed to have as much energy as they might in a game that sounded like it was a rivalry.
In terms of players, Ferraro was okay - seemed to have the most polish of any of the players. Donally had the most 'presence' on the ice, but it looked like they were short d-men so he played the first half of the game on d. Aki S was okay, but did not really impress. There was a call up from a college team named Miller (81) that had a good game - lots of jump and had a ton of chances (looked like he need to put on some weight).
Anyway, it is something that I will consider doing again - and would recommend for anyone going down to Vegas.

You're right....they're very short on d-men. And we have one called up. That may have been part of the reason that there weren't any fights....they didn't have a player to spare for 5 minutes!!
