Milwaukee Musings: Depleted Ads Being Tested
With a tight three- or four-way race for the Central Division lead, the Milwaukee Admirals entered last week needing to come out on top in two games against Manitoba. What they got was one out of a possible four points.
The Ads are still 6-2-2 in their last ten games, but Manitoba is now just one point behind them for second in the Central and Texas has widened their first-place lead to three points.
This roster is depleted—badly. Top scorers like Tomasino, Novak, and Sherwood are up in Nashville and depth pieces like Nurmi, Huntington, and Kondelik have been banged up. All in all, this team is missing nearly 40% of its goals scored this year from the lineup.
