Kingston Frontenacs 2015-16 Season Thread

[Duke Guy]

March 26, 1998.....the date of the last time the Fronts clinched a playoff series. Some of their current players weren't even born.

And on April 1, 2016, the curse has been broken. Fronts win their first playoff series in 18 years with a huge win vs. the Gennies. Congrats to Kingston! Next up will depend how other series finish--Niagara is also in the next round, after they finished off the 67s.

Way to go Fronts !
Congrats to the long suffering Kingston fans, from your long time rivals in Belleville.
Hope the run this season is a long one.

6,581 days.... But it stops today.

Congrats Fronts fans.

 

[core33]

I concur, congrats. Looking forward to following their run. Good luck.

Monkey - exit stage right! It has to feel good!

 

[AAO Dad]

Wow, that was a long wait. That is a King Kong sized monkey off this teams back. Can't wait for round 2.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Holy ****... The Frontenacs won a series..

My dad was in the military, when I moved here in the early 2000's their stars were Mike Zigomanis, followed by Anthony Stewart.. We moved away, they won nothing during the time gone. We come back, and finally years later, they win a series.

What a night. The monkey is off the back.

From a long time Gens fan. Congrats Fronts. From the beginning of playoffs you are the team I hope would represent the east. Never thought the Gens would win a game but thanks for coming to the GMC and being respectful fans cheering hard for your team. My cheer for the east this year. Glad to get our young guys some great experience. Wish nothing but the best for DalColle and Desrosher. Go get it Kingston. Fan here

Monkey? I think it was more like King Kong at this point

When the Fronts won their previous playoff series 18 years ago at the Memorial Centre they had 3,379 at the game. Last night at the K-Rock they had 3,810.

I wonder how many can claim they were at both games?

 

[ohloutsider]

Question - last time the Fronts won a playoff round how far did they go after that? You may be shedding more than one monkey this year.

 

[Duke Guy]

After winning their 1st round in 1998 they lost the 2nd round to London in 5 games.

I'm pretty sure I was at both games, it was a long time ago so it's kindve fuzzy.
I do remember the next series against London for sure. The great Rico fata and mix spiridonov

Very interesting the last time kingston won a playoff round, they beat the Oshawa Generals 4 games to 3, who were the defending OHL Champions.

 

[MisterDB]

Duke Guy, I was around for both, hell I was around when a rotary dial phone was state of the art technology. i was around for he original Frontenacs debuted in the EPHL in 1959.

The Memorial Centre was electrically charge by the fans, you could feel it in your bones, wall pounding, standing room board pound, fans voices, all manual sounds not by what is produced in the sterile new arenas of amplified sound of today. The M-Centre at 3379 was at 100% legal capacity and was probably more than that in there compared to the 72% capacity at the RKRC.

 

[Truthking]

I know kingston hasn't seen the 2nd rd lately, but how much of a price increase are we looking at?

 

[MisterDB]

No increases for season ticket holders that have renewed and did the pre-purchase option for the playoffs (you get all the tickets for every round but only pay for the ones you use, a very nice option).

I do know they increase for those that do not have the above option. I did a quick ticket check from the Fronts site and the cost for an adult was $33.10 at ticketmaster. I am pretty sure this includes the online extra fees, it is probably cheaper on a walk up basis.

 

[SH15]

Dal Colle with 14pts in the series. Had none in Game 1, so has 14pts in his last 4 games

Not a bad pick up...Lol

 

[three dog night]
