yeah, but Tulsa is a much different team than it was earlier in the year....this is going to be a tough series for the Junior Cards

Tulsa not doing the Down the Line introductions that all playoff teams do.....introduce both teams, then do the National Anthem.

INteresting.

Springfield will be doing that on Thursday....the traditional way

------------

Tulsa just treating it like any other day....no special playoff pregame
