We are now three games into the first series and the Bears lead the series 2-1 over Charlotte.

And in the “uncool” news department, surely you can come up with something better to yell. [opposingviews]
Chasing Checkers made a visit to Hershey for the opening of the series. Unfortunately their experience wasn’t that great. They saw a Checkers win, but weren’t treated to great hospitality. This is not the hockey spirit that built this franchise. I’m sorry that your experience wasn’t great. If you ever do decide to make a trip back to Hershey, please let me know. You will be welcomed to sit with me without the obnoxious behavior… just a little fun ribbing (hopefully both ways). If it’s this series, I’ll also offer you a beer and a hotdog at the SHoE tailgate.

A shortened AHL season could mean that several Bears records will never be broken. [PennLive]

The guys over at The Sports ‘Burger brought to my attention a great article about Bears Head Trainer Dan Stuck. [Bears Bites]
The Hershey Bears Hockey blog has really upped the coverage now that we are into the playoff race. You should make it a regular read! [HBHB]
The Bears have regained home ice advantage in this series with last night’s win. A win tonight would be a HUGE boost. If they don’t win, then this becomes a best of three series with two games back in Hershey. Here’s to a big win tonight and hopefully in decisive fashion!

Geez, that blows. No wonder other teams’ fans can’t stand us. A few obnoxious jerks make the majority of us look bad. Good for you standing up to them, and hopefully the GC security will start to crack down on that crap as the article linked above suggests.
Oh yeah…I’ve ALWAYS heard homophobic slurs as well as racist ones…and still do to this day in my section. Finally, I had enough and at one game that the “losers” in my section kept taunting a black player I got up out of my seat, went down to them, and said “Really? Well why don’t you wait for him after the game and tell that to his face so I can watch him beat the crap out of you.” That quieted them down for a bit…but not long.
Wow, homophobic slurs? I know there are a few obnoxious “fans” out there who shout inappropriate, derogatory comments but I had not personally heard the anti-gay stuff. That’s L-A-M-E. And embarrassing. 🙁 C’mon guys, we’re better than that.
On a more positive note…we’re up 2 games to 1! Can’t wait for game 4! GO BEARS!!!
