    They don’t need stars to draw in traditional hockey markets.

    They need good teams to draw even in traditional hockey markets. Look at how attendance went down in Buffalo. And the fastest way to improve is with a star player. Of course they then have to surround him with the right teammates.

  2. I’d like to know how ECHL Cincinnati fell apart so bad after having the 2nd best record in the league. They lost to Toledo tonight 9-2 and eliminated 4-0 in the series, outscored 21-7.

    I’m actually rooting for the leafs to make it to a game 7 so the Marlies can’t get any of the leafs players. Is that how it works? 

    They can only send down players who were on the Marlies roster at the AHL roster deadline.

    I have to say that I don't even get this affiliation anymore.  Who on this team do we even care about??  I think the NHL should expand the number of players that can be signed in the system by 10, so that more fringe draft picks can be brought in on ELCs and make teams like the Cyclones worth caring about.  Maybe if they did and we could start these players in Cincinnati then Brandon Hagel wouldn't be playing for TB Lightning, 

    They provide depth for Rochester when there are callups or injuries. Most NHL/AHL teams have an affiliation. Players get signed to an AHL contract. Passolt, Pekar, and Houser all came up from Cincy to the Amerks current roster.

  5. Hockey News predicts: 

    13. Buffalo - Eduard Sale, LW, Kometa Brno: The Sabres have an excellent pipeline rolling and it has already paid dividends - Sale can add to that cohort. He's a natural finisher with great speed and a good frame. I thought he looked sharp at the world juniors with Czechia and while his numbers against men back home weren't huge, he's still young.

    Our local Fort Worth team, the Panther City Lacrosse Club, made the playoffs for the first time in their second year.  The only thing they got out of round one is experience, losing to Calgary 12-9.

    Why are they called Panther City? I was wondering what city they played in.
