I won't lie, I felt like a kid at Christmas when I woke up this morning. After four days of waiting the Eastern Conference semifinals are finally upon us. I got to the BI-LO Center early today and had a good talk with Coach Stork about what to expect out of the Road Warriors tonight, and what his expectations are for this series. He and I both agree that this is going to be a tight series, with a lot of one goal games, and that the Road Warriors' regular season record against Wheeling is worth about as much as a $2 bill right now.
Tonight's game will be critical for the Road Warriors' success in this series. Wheeling did an amazing job of going to North Charleston and taking both road games from the Stingrays to snare a 2-0 series lead heading back to Wheeling. The top-seeded Road Warriors couldn't pull off that feat against Elmira, Reading couldn't match the feat against Cincy, and neither could Kalamazoo against Florida. Now an 0-2 deficit in a best-of-seven series is a lot less daunting than in a best-of-five, but with three straight games in Wheeling looming, Greenville desperately needs to win at least one of these two games at home. In my video diary below, I give you a preview of what to look for from the Road Warriors tonight.
