Manchester update

The Manchester Monarchs concluded their regular season Saturday and are now preparing for a first-round series against the Providence Bruins, starting Wednesday in Providence. The Monarchs finished with 88 points, good for fourth in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division, while the Bruins finished first with 117 points.

Here's the series schedule. I found it interesting that the series goes 2-2-2-1. Providence gets four of the first six games at home, but the seventh game would be at Manchester. Interesting setup...

Game 1 – Wed., Apr. 16 – Manchester at Providence
Game 2 – Fri., Apr. 18 – Manchester at Providence
Game 3 – Sat., Apr. 19 – Providence at Manchester
Game 4 – Mon., Apr. 21 – Providence at Manchester
*Game 5 – Fri., Apr. 25 – Manchester at Providence
*Game 6 – Sat., Apr. 26 – Manchester at Providence
*Game 7 – Mon., Apr. 28 – Providence at Manchester

Here's today's story from the Union Leader:

Apparently... The circus is in town.

Yep, that's right. They had to change the schedule because Providence is hosting the circus that last night.

You can buy them, I believe it's 6 bucks a game or so.

Holly said:

The games are aired through b2.
But the quality is pretty questionable, and at 6 bucks a pop...

all the games will be on B2, the internet network.

go to www.theahl.com & the link should be there on game days.

B2 networks shows the games online for a few bucks a game (I believe its like 6 or 8 a game)- they show the game on their schedule. http://www.b2livetv.com/?v=Hockey
