ORLANDO, Fla. - The South Division Final will be something of a return grudge match for the Florida Everblades and Orlando Solar Bears.

I am not sure where the blog post is headed this morning because there are so many thoughts and emotions going through my head. Maybe more opinion than facts than normal but I am an expert at my own opinion. Let's get started.

BOISE, ID - History has been made in the City of Trees. After going down 0-3 to the Allen Americans in round one of the 2018 Kelly Cup Playoffs, the Idaho Steelheads went on to win four straight games, accentuated by a 4-1 victory in Game 7 Wednesday night in Boise.

ALLEN, Texas - The wheels came off on the Allen Americans in Idaho last night as the Steelheads scored early and often to win the game 6-3 and force a winner take all game seven tonight.

BOISE, Idaho - The last time the Idaho Steelheads played at CenturyLink Arena, the team found themselves stuck with a close-but-no-cigar 5-4 loss, going down 2-0 in their first-round series with the Allen Americans. That was a Saturday...April 14, to be precise.

ESTERO, Fla. – When the Atlanta Gladiators threatened to gain momentum by pushing game 4 of their South Division Semifinal series into overtime, a short-handed goal Florida’s John McCarron shut the door on the Gladiators permanently and gave the Everblades a four-game sweep with his goal at the 1:48 mark of overtime

ALLEN, Texas - Allen has a chance to join the second round playoff club tonight in Boise in game six of their series with Idaho. After jumping off to a 3-0 lead in the series, the Americans have stumbled losing the last two games at home by identical scores of 2-1.

After a regular season that saw the Worcester Railers dominate the Adirondack Thunder with a record of 8-2-2-0, it all came to an end Monday night. In the North Division semifinals, the Thunder had finally found a way to beat the Railers, finishing the series 4-2.

WICHITA, Kan. - Monday night's game six of the Mountain Division Semifinal series between the Colorado Eagles and Wichita Thunder had everything a hockey fan would want in a game: hard-hitting, finesse plays with the puck, solid goaltending, and two teams who battled back every time the other side got an edge

Saturday night’s tilt between the Orlando Solar Bears and the South Carolina Stingrays proved to be a virtual replay of Game 3 of the South Division Semifinals.
