Excellent work, followers.

Brad, it's fun to hang [censored] on you when you're doing an incredible good service to those of us that couldn't travel. You're a mensch.

I loved the hilarity of the entire situation. He works his ass off and is working on changing the battery and then we score. That, my friends, is called timing.

It was brilliant. Still giggling about it.

Haha thanks Tim and Jim. Sorry if it was a bit shaky, had some tequilla in me.

I can only hope it made you feel in its own maligned way that you were there.

Hats off to the Dark Clouds who traveled, and to our boys who got the win a man down, I wish I could've been there.

Thanks to c0ldfuse for the stream, it was nice to have a visual besides a rapidly moving twitter feed.

Bring on RSL and good ol' Johnny Steele!!

I caught the second goal on my phone. I will upload it to YouTube tomorrow at some point and post it on Facebook and under this thread. I also got a video of the Stars coming over and singing Wonderwall after the match.

I would give the Menace thumbs up for their facility, level of play and fans. We met some of the Red Army in the church parking lot before and after the match for food and beer.

Kudos to @Bruce for putting everything together and @DigitalGopher for driving!

Just home.

- Red to Cristiano was totally deserved. Even he knew it, as evidenced by his demeanor when he came to the stands in the second half.

- Great effort put in by the team, especially after going a man down. Got a bit frustrated by the college kid antics, but managed to get through the game reasonably well. Goals from Bracalello and Ibarra were terrific.

- Very disappointed to find out that the team had negotiated away the home game. I understand why, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

so I am gonna be more calm than I actually am after reading the news

*Congrats on the win Stars

*sure hope consideration was made during negotiations so that we will get to watch the game online

*if part of the deal is that the Stars will get to host RSL for a friendly I am gonna laugh hysterically

*I know Salt Lake is worried to face Nessie but to throw around money like this just to try and get an upper hand is just sad.

*news flash RSL you're still gonna lose

I do not know the difficulty of running a league owned team. So, take that for what it is worth...

But, I am extremely disappointed in the selling of this game. That is another trip to add to our players legs and it was an opportunity to build excitement for the Stars in the Twin Cities.

I hope they at least negotiated a way for the game to be broadcast online for the Stars fans.

Even Lame the Llama is disappointed in this.
