Am I seeing this correctly? If you take a look at the Falcons schedule this week, you’ll see the Stockton Thunder on it four times. First this Wednesday in Stockton, Friday in Fresno and Saturday and Sunday back in Stockton.
With all of that traveling up and down Highway 99, the Mammoth Orange Stand better have enough burgers to fry.
The nice thing for the Falcons is that Stockton - in the first year of the franchises existence - has the worst record in the ECHL. By the end of this quirky series, the Falcons should have an even firmer grip on first place; depending on what the second place Ice Dogs do this week. Long Beach is currently seven points back and the Falcons have two games in hand.
The down side of this series – for the Falcons – is it’s even tough to beat a bad roller hockey team, four games straight. And, by the end of the second or third game, chances are, things are going to start getting chippy – Is chippy like the BEST hockey term ever?
Also watch for some of that chippy stuff if the team busses coincidently meet at the Orange Stand.
