Go Ice Bears

This was on the Ice Bears website today...

KJ Voorhees is out for the Championship playoff series with a severe sprain of his left AC joint. The injury happened at Friday night's games against the Pee Dee Cyclones.

KJ will not need surgery for his injury, however, he is looking at 4-6 weeks of rehab therapy.

I wish him luck in his recovery. They interviewed him on the knoxville broadcast on saturday night.

This could end up being a factor in the 5 game series as he was 2nd in regular season points on his team and 4th in the SPHL at 78 with 34 goals and 44 assist. He was not doing bad in the 3 playoff games he played in either at 3 points with 2 goals and 1 assist.

Also another factor is if goalie Ronayne gets injured is that the other goalie Ryan Person has left the team. The new back up is Rodney Tocco who I show on Hockeydatabase as having played only 1 game with Michigan State University in 2003-2004 season.

With these things that happened lately to Knoxville...If they don't score alot of Goals...the Seals will win the series in 4 games...Person was stupid to leave the team...They had a Championship capable team...I really think the Seals win this Finals...and I'm not being Biased.

Not the time to have players not showing anymore. I know it hurt the Fireantz when Rilder pulled his little trick on us at the end of the season. Go Seals

My understanding was the Seals did not have ice availability on that weekend hence the Tues/ Wen. games....can anyone confirm or deny this?
