You don't have to worry about the turnout from the Cooper side. They have outnumbered the home team in 2 of the 3 playoff games already. Even though this game is further than the usual 2 hour drives they've had they will still show their support by making the long drive.

So if the HC faithful would prefer to stay home, go ahead and make yourself comfortable on your couch, Cooper fans will make it sound as if it's a full house anyway for you :biggrin:

I don't even know where to start with this comment!
First of all the people looking to stay at home to watch are NOT the HC faithful, they are mostly folks we have picked up along the way that have learned to respect our program. Folks that are out of the area, and we are very very pleased to have them on board!!
You won't outnumber the home fan base. Even if WE were driving THERE. Trust me.
A friend of mine who has kids on the Bell Co team told me that the first time we scored against them in our game, the only reason they knew the cannon went off was because of the smoke they could SEE, because they didn't HEAR it.
As far as describing the sound is concerned, I just can't do it.
