The biggest
news is that the Bulls lost the Third game in their playoff round with the
Alaska Aces, 4-1. The First Period looked great. But by the Second Period, San
Francisco started to lag just a little, not following through on passes and one
thing lead to another and Alaska scored. Once the Aces scored, it was all over.

Jordan
Morrison snagged the Bulls only goal. Tommy Grant left the game early with a
slashed hand. I hope he’s OK and back on the ice tonight.

People have
shrugged me off, but when Alaska scores first, their record is 34-0-6. The Aces
have NEVER lost a game in regulation team when they have scored first. This
must always be remembered. Sure, a miracle can happen and I might get a
Municorn (an imaginary MUNI bus that actually appears when you need it to
appear) today as well. But, this is not something that should be counted on.
The Bulls MUST score first to win!

The Bulls
tried to keep up with the Aces, but it seemed to wear them down. Alaska never
seemed to tire. They continued to attack, to press on. It isn’t that the Bulls
gave up, they never did, they’re not that kind of a team, but they couldn’t
keep up once the Aces domination could over.
If the team
can find a way to continue the energy from the First Period, then they can win.

The Bulls organization
do a really good job at making sure the fans are happy and taken care of. I
would say that the one area that does need work is in security. Someone needs to communicate with all the security folks and tell them what they need to
know. I cannot begin to say how many times I’ve argued with security at the door
about bringing in empty plastic bottles. I will NOT throw my bottle away! It’s
empty and allowed in! Why do I know the rules of the Cow Palace better than a
security guard? No Bulls fan should EVER be told to throw their EMPTY water
bottle away, yet it happens at every game.
Also last
night, the security wasn’t told about the new rules regarding picture taking during
warm ups. I was worried about this beforehand and with good reason as it turned
out. I argued with the head security person and made her call one of the higher
ups. Even when it was OK’d for the ADULTS to be there to take pictures,
security carded EVERYONE coming into the area, as it’s now part of the larger
bar, so kids are still NOT allowed in to take pictures and this was not what I
was told. Hopefully, they’ll have that Kids Zone area for them so they’ll have
a bigger area. Kids LOVE watching the Bulls players. Blocking them from getting
to see them warm up is wrong. I don’t drink, so I don’t care about a bigger bar
area, but I’m sure some people enjoy it. I just want fans to have access to seeing
the Bulls players. Getting fans closer to the players helps them enjoy the game
more.
I know
things are being tested and worked out with that whole ice bar situation. But
the miscommunication with the security has been an on-going issue for the
entire season. If you have had problems in areas I haven’t mentioned, please
let me know or add your voice in the comments section. Or if you’d rather it be
private, send me an email at bastzine@att.net.
