Finals Tied Again

The Rapid City Rush tied the Ray Miron Presidents’ Cup Finals up 2-2 with a 4-2 win over the Allen Americans in Game 4 tonight.

You can read about that game here.

Home ice has not been much of a factor so far, as each team has won in the other's arena, and the only consistency so far seems to be that the Rush win when they score more than two goals.

Game 5 will be played in Allen tomorrow night.

Finals Under Way

Sorry for yet another delay in posting, but the Ray Miron Presidents' Cup Finals are under way, and the Allen Americans and Rapid City Rush are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven series.

The Rush knotted the series tonight with a 5-4 overtime win, while the Americans earned a 4-1 win in Game 1 last night.

Prior to the start of the series, Greg Rajan shared the predictions of players, team staff members and writers from around the league.

Brian Sandalow, meanwhile, shared a Q&A with Jim Holland from the Rapid City Journal.

In non-finals news, Kollen Long reported yesterday that the Wichita Thunder have hired head coach Kevin McClelland, who was recently let go by the Colorado Eagles when they put Chris Stewart back in that position.

Bucks Keeping Season Ticket Prices

The Bucks just announced their season ticket prices for the 2010-11 season, and those prices will not be changing for the fourth straight season.

I think it's fair to say season ticket holders are the ones who keep the Bucks going, and this is one of the ways the team has shown their appreciation for that fact.
