So it comes down to this.
Game 7 on Wednesday night at The Orleans Arena.
Win and advance.
Lose and go home.
It doesn't get any simpler.
And the Wranglers should have all the momentum after scoring three straight goals in a span of six minutes and 40 seconds for a 3-1 victory on Tuesday night.
That outburst started with 1:56 left in the second period and conintued thorough the first 5:44 of the third period.
The Condors, who had been doing everything right and had a 1-0 lead, made a bad decision (three forwards deep trying to score short-handed), to allow the game-tying goal and the change of momentum.
But that's done and gone and now the focus must be on Game 7.
Goaltender Yutaka Fukufuji needs to stand on his head, do cartwheels or whatever it takes to stop the Wranglers.
And it might be nice if some other Condors could help out Dave Bonk, Mark Derlago and Chad Painchaud who appeared a bit shopworn on Tuesday night. Those three have combined for 26 points. The rest of the team, 20

Note-Las Vegas scorers originally credited Bonk with Bakersfield's lone goal and gave an assist to Bruce Graham (who was not even on the ice) and that is what the box score read. Ryan Mahrle deflected the shot and should be credited with the goal. Bonk and Painchaud get the assists.
