Cyclones hockey game #12.

We went to our 12th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…

It was Pucks N Pups night. There were whole bunch of dogs at the game.

The Cyclones went down 0-2 early in the first period…

And at the end of the first, they were down 0-3…

At the first intermission, there were wiener dog races…

It was also $1 hot dog night…

There were dogs at US Bank Arena looking for forever homes. This pup stole my heart…

The ‘Clones pulled one back 1-3…

And that’s the way the score stayed at the end of two…

The Cyclones pulled back another goal to make it 2-3, and then pulled their goalie…

But the game would end 2-3. And this one belongs to the Quad City Mallards…

Oh well. Win or lose, the Cyclones games are always a bunch of fun. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #11.

We braved the bitter cold, bundled up and made the trek down to US Bank Arena to take in our 11th Cyclones hockey game of the season. Tonight, the ‘Clones were taking on my hometown Kalamazoo K-Wings…

1-0 CYCLONES!

And that’s the way it stayed until the end of the first period…

There was broomball during the first intermission…

2-1 CYCLONES!!!

At the end of the second, it was still 2-1 Cyclones!

3-1 CYCLONES!!!

And this guy thought everyone sucked especially the KWings net-minder and the refs…

The KWings pulled their goalie…

And after a few missed opportunities, the ‘Clones put the biscuit in the empty basket! 4-1 Cyclones!!!!

And that’s the way the game would end, 4-1 Cyclones over the Kalamazoo KWings…

Another great evening at US Bank Arena. It’s always more fun when the Cyclones win! 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #10.

Tonight, we went to our 10th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena. The Cyclones were playing host to the Wheeling Nailers this evening…

And tonight, we actually made it to US Bank Arena in time to hear the national anthem. That rarely happens…

LET’S PLAY HOCKEY!

The Nailers were on the board first…

It started to get pretty chippy out there…

At the end of the first period, the Nailer led 1-0…

The Nailers took at 2-0 led but the Cyclones pulled one back to make it 2-1…

At the start of the third, it was still 2-1…

But the Cyclones couldn’t pull this one out, and the game ended 3-1…

Oh well. Win or lose, Cyclones hockey games are always fun. Hopefully, they can do better when we go the game next Wednesday. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #9.

Tonight, we went to our 9th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena.
Our Cyclones were playing the Indy Fuel. Again. It seems like in the nine games we’ve been to so far this season, we’ve only seen the ‘Clones play three or four teams…

At the end of the first, the Cyclones were up 2-0!

At the beginning of the third, it was still 2-0 Cyclones…

3-0 CYCLONES!!!

And that’s how it would end, 3-1 Cyclones!

Win or lose, the Cyclones games are always fun! 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #8.

Tonight, we went to our 8th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…

The Cyclones were taking on the Fort Wayne Komets again. It seems like we’ve only seen the ‘Clones play only three teams over the eight games we’ve been to so far this season.

This guys wears shorts and flip-flops to every Cyclones game, no matter how cold…

At the end of the first, it was still all knotted at zeros…

1-0 CYCLONES!

There’s always someone with a vuvuzela…

Hi there! It was starting get a bit chippy…

Because at the end of the second the Cyclones trailed 3-1…

Our photo made the big screen at US Bank Arena! Again!

4-1…

And that’s how it would end. 4-1 Komets over the ‘Clones…

Hopefully, the Cyclones will bounce back for our next hockey game. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #7.

It seems like it’s been forever and a day since we’ve been to our last Cyclones hockey game. They’ve been out of town for the last couple of weeks, and we’ve been longing for some hockey. Tonight, we got to go to our seventh hockey game of the season down at US Bank Arena…

We were really surprised at just how many people were at the game tonight…

At the end of the first, the Cyclones trailed the Fuel 2-1…

It started getting pretty scrappy…

At the end of the season, the Cyclones now trailed 3-1…

Win or lose, the Cyclones games are always really fun. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #6.

Tonight, we went to our sixth Cyclones hockey game of the season!

PUCKCHOP!

There weren’t very many people at US Bank Arena for hockey on a Tuesday night…

At the end of the first period, there was no score…

Going into the third period, the Cyclones were trailing 0-1…

And our Instagram photo made the US Bank Arena Jumbotron again!

TIE GAME!

Twister was less than thrilled with some of the officiating…

EXTRA HOCKEY!

Time for five minutes of three-on-three sudden death hockey!

Onto shoot-outs! Extra, extra hockey!

And the Cyclones lost 2-1 in the shoot-out. 😦

Cyclones hockey game #5.

Tonight, we walked down to US Bank Arena to see our Cyclones take on the Fort Wayne Komets on the biggest bar night of the year. It’s our fifth hockey game of the season…

US Bank Arena was packed tonight. It seems like every college kid in Cincinnati was at US Bank Arena. I wish I could say that everyone was there for the game…

Because it seemed like everyone was just in line for $1 beers. And once they got their beers, it seemed like they just got back in line. It made for ridiculously long lines everywhere in US Bank Arena not just for the dollar beers. We don’t remember it being that bad last year. Nowhere even close. But eventually, we did finally manage to get a couple of beers…

We ended up ducking out during the second intermission. When this game rolls around next season, I think this is one we’ll probably skip. We went to this game last year, and it wasn’t nearly as annoying. US Bank Arena was nutty and the concession lines were way out of control. And the Cyclones ended up losing 3-2 in overtime.

Cyclones hockey game #4.

At lunchtime, we walked down to US Bank Arena to get tickets for our fourth Cyclones hockey game of the season because it’s Throwback Night... $10 tickets, $1 pizza, hot dogs and beers. And it’s also the annual Teddy Bear Toss night where everyone brings a stuffed animal to throw onto the ice after the Cyclones score their first goal. The calm before the storm at US Bank Arena…

We picked up some Jimmy Johns for lunch while we were down in The Banks…

And then this evening, we headed back down to US Bank Arena…

And as we were on our way to our seats, the Cyclones scored! UNLEASH THE TEDDY’S!

And back to hockey. At the end of the first period, it was 2-0 Cyclones…

There’s always one stuffed animal that doesn’t quite make it to the ice and gets caught up in the netting behind the goal…

Except tonight, there were two…

Trailing 2-1, the Quad City Mallards pulled their goalie…

And the ‘Clones capitalized on the empty to take a 3-1 lead for the win!

The Cyclones are off to a great 7-2-0-1 start in their first ten games of the season! We love our ‘Clones! Click to see all the photos I took at Cyclones hockey game #4 of the season. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #3.

Tonight, we went to our third Cyclones game of the season. They were taking on the Fort Wayne Komets at US Bank Arena! Let’s go…

Puckchop was back!

So were the beer pyramids…

We see this guy at every game, always with shorts and flip-flops on…

And for the second game in a row, our #CyclonesCyclones photo made the big screen!

Actually, it made it up there twice! Once from Instagram and once from Twitter!

And the Cyclones would go on to win 3-1!

The Cyclones are off to a great start this season. They’re 6-2-0-1 through their first nine games! Hopefully, they’ll be adding some more banners up in the US Bank Arena rafters at the end of the season!
