There were 1,696 fans on a night when they clinched to go to the finals. Obviously a weeknight and a school night, but are there any other reaons

Turner Conference

Series Notes:
-The Rapid City Rush are hoping to become the first team since the 2006 CHL Finals to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a series.  The Laredo Bucks fell behind Bossier-Shreveport 3-1 before rallying to win three straight games and the Presidents' Cup.
-Colorado is looking to make their fifth trip to the CHL Finals in their eighth season as a franchise.  The Eagles won the title in 2005 and 2007 and then fell to Arizona in 2008 and Texas in 2009.
-Rookie Adam Chorneyko leads the Eagles in scoring during the post-season with 15 points (4-11=15).

... and Colorado leads Rapid City 3-2 going into Game 6 in Loveland on Monday night. Congrats to Billy Welker, Scott Muscutt and the gang
