why rockford why?

[game]

Why, if rockford has three of the top ten players in the league, are they NOT winning in the playoffs?

They are the only team with three players selected to the 1st and second all league teams, yet they are losing in the playoffs.

Does the ad placement in the story below strike anybody else as being more than a coincidence?

Well, to make matters short, Rockford has been bitten by that little thing called Chemistry or Luck. The old addage says..you peak to soon you sqeak by in the end. I think like in the past with other teams in the CBA or NBA for that matter. you can peak too early, and more or less fade out in the end. Plus, the Steelheads are playing their best ball of the season here at the end in the Eastern Conference, and may be the better team Chemisty wise at this time.

I would like to see a Gary Steelheads vs Sioux Falls Skyforce, both teams are on a roll right now. Yakima and Rockford basically ran out of gas torwards the end.

That same logo was on screen next to sports anchor, on local WTVO ch. 17 ABC 10 o'clock news, as he did news and highlights on playoff game thurs. night and talking about it probably being the last Lightning home game ever.

I am sure it was just a mistake, however, they never changed it. Just left it up as the next story was about the Icehogs. How fitting.
