About the Admirals: The Admirals are starting to look like a shoo-in for the playoffs, which seem light-years away in April. But their play has been spotty at best. After their 2-1 overtime loss to Iowa on Wednesday night, coach Claude Noel said of his team, "We are an accident waiting to happen." How inconsistent are the Admirals? They have alternated between winning and losing in their last nine games.

About the Stars: To say the Admirals owe one to the Stars would be a gross understatement. Iowa is 7-0 against Milwaukee this season, including a 2-1 overtime victory Wednesday night at the Bradley Center.
