Tonight, we went to our fourth Cyclones hockey game of the season…
At the end of the first, it was 1-0 Cyclones…
2-0 Cyclones!!
Our selfie made the big screen for the second straight game…
And the Cyclones held on to win 3-1!
The Cyclones hockey games are always fun. Especially when they win. 🙂

Tonight, we went to Cyclones hockey game #3 of the season at US Bank Arena…
The Cyclones scored as soon as we got into US Bank Arena. But for some reason the goal never made it to the scoreboard. It must have been disallowed for some reason…
Come to find out it was FC Cincinnati takeover night at tonight’s Cyclones game. There were a fair amount of FC Cincinnati supporters that descended upon US Bank Arena clad in Orange and Blue complete with drums and songs straight out of The Bailey…
Had we known, we’d have worn some our FC Cincinnati scarves…
That’s an impressive first period of work…
At the start of the second period, the ‘Clones trailed Fort Wayne 1-0…
And at the end of the second, it was still 1-0…
Our Cyclones selfie made the big board for the first time this season…
Twister joined forces with the FC Cincinnati contingent…
Fort Wayne added the empty netter at the end of the third period…
And the game would end 2-0 to Fort Wayne Komets…
After the game, the Uber rates were kind of ridiculous for some reason. There’s no way the 1810 people in attendance at tonight’s game couldn’t have a surge like that. So we walked up to Igby’s on Sixth Street, and had a beer while we waited for the surge to return to normal…
We had a delicious Opera Cream Stout from Blank Slate…
Before we could even finish our beer, the Uber rates had gone back to normal. Once we were ready, we got our Uber and headed from home. Win or lose, it was yet another great night of Cincinnati Cyclones hockey! 🙂

Whenever the Cincinnati Cyclones score five goals and win, you have five days to exchange your ticket for a free Donatos one topping pizza. After work this evening,
I picked up our free Donatos pizzas from Wednesday’s 7-4 Cyclones win over the Reading Royals. And Genifer found someone’s ticket on the ground as we were leaving US Bank Arena so we had three tickets to redeem for free pizzas…
I managed to get all three of them home on the bus without eating any of them…
And then it was finally time to eat free pizza…
Free pizza sure is delicious! A super big thanks to Donatos and our Cyclones for our free pizza pies! 🙂

Tonight, we had tickets to our second Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…
We got to US Bank Arena right as the puck was dropping…
And just a couple of minutes after we were in out seats, the Cyclones took a one-nothing lead…
And the ‘Clones made it 2-0 just a few minutes later…
And that’s the way the period would end, 2-0 to the Cyclones…
3-0!
And the ‘Clones took a 4-0 lead! One more goal combined with a Cyclones win and we get free pizza!
After Reading pulled a goal back, the Cyclones netted their fifth goal of the game…
We stepped away to get a beer and use the restroom, when we got back to our seats, the score was now 5-3…
Ugh. 5-4…
The Cyclones tacked on another goal to extend the lead to 6-4…
Two goals down, the Royals pulled their goalie…
And right on cue, the Cyclones capitalized to net their 7th goal of the game…
And that’s how the game would end, 7-4 to our Cyclones!
It was another great evening of Cyclones hockey at US Bank Arena! We can’t wait to get our free pizza from Donato’s in the next couple of days!

Tonight, we had tickets to our first Cyclones hockey game of the season…
We hopped on the Metro 17 bus from Northside…
And in no time, we were down at US Bank Arena…
It was good to be back at US Bank Arena…
The view from our 12-game season ticket seats is pretty nice…
LET’S PLAY HOCKEY!
There were plenty of good seats still available…
At the end of the first period, the ‘Clones were up 2-0 on the Quad City Mallards…
The Cyclones got a new “zamboni” from that chicken place. The Twister, Porkchop and some fans ride around the ice for a couple of laps and throw out a few t-shirts. But strangely, no new ice is actually laid down…
And then the actual zambonis come out and resurface the ice. Back to hockey…
At the end of the second, it was 3-1 Cyclones…
And the Cyclones won 4-1!
We took an Uber home after the game, and our Uber bill was just 13¢ thanks to a $10 credit we had from last weekend. It was a great surprise ending to a great evening of Cyclones hockey! 🙂

Genifer got us another 12-game pack of tickets to our Cincinnati Cyclones. And this afternoon, I walked down to US Bank Arena to pick up our hockey tickets…
They were busy getting ready for Carrie Underwood and Disney on Ice at US Bank Arena…
I sure hope the ‘Clones can add to their banner collection again this season…
🙂

CYCLONES PLAYOFF HOCKEY! :The quest for the Kelly Cup. Tonight was game 3 of the first round, best-of-seven series against the Fort Wayne Komets. The ‘Clones won the first two games of the series in Fort Wayne. The Cyclones could close out the series by taking two out of the three games at US Bank Arena between tonight and the two games this weekend…
Paul McCartney is coming to US Bank Arena in July…
Tickets are too rich for our blood. At least, we got to see him at GABP. Back to hockey…
A minute into the game, and the Cyclones were already trailing 1-0…
And at the end of the first period, the ‘Clones were down 3-0…
At the end of the second period, the Cyclones were getting thumped 7-0…
Yep. It’s not a mistake. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you…
In the third, the highlight was one of the plexiglass panels came loose…
And the game ended, 8-0. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Cyclones game where they lost that bad.
Hopefully, they’ll be able to bounce back and take the series this weekend. 
UPDATE: The Cyclones lost game 7 of the series 2-0 to Fort Wayne to end their season. 😦
