The Toledo Walleye are cool and good, and you should come see them.


Also totally gonna get out to a Monsters game sometime this year :toot:

I was thinking if going to the Flyers/Wings game at the Joe this year, but Toledo's on the road that weekend.

Milwaukee is moving back to the MECCA US Cellular UW Milwaukee Panther Arena this year after putting down about $3 million on renovations. They're having an open skate tomorrow, plus they're showing the Ads/Wolves game. I'll be sure to post some pics of the place.

As far as AHL goes, there's the legit and overpriced AHL Live.

A full package of AHL Live costs more than my half-season ticket plan.

Fair warning: most teams just use a jumbotron feed and video quality is really inconsistent.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that this year the AHL instituted a new rule saying players will be suspended if they get into too many fights. After player accrues ten fighting penalties this season, they'll be subject to a one game suspension for each fight thereafter (so the 11th one would be the first suspension).

OP forgot the CWHL :colbert:

a) It's basically a cut and paste of lady years OP I made

b) I have yet to see one person post anything about the CWHL in these threads aside from this one.

Milwaukee finally loses a game (gently caress the shootout), 3-2 to Rockford. Would have been nice if Nashville hadn't called up half the team, but it was for a good cause (gently caress the Pens).

It happens in college too. I think it's cool.

Plus a lot of places have chants to go with it. "[visiting team] back at full strength" is often met with "THAT'S DEBATABLE" from the crowd, which I love.

E: I'm guessing it's just a hold over from older days. I wanna say I remember hearing it at some Red Wings games I went to as a kid back in the 80s.

They stopped doing this announcements in Milwaukee last year. No clue why.

Is there a more idiotic argument than 'size' in this day and age? The guy scores from inside the crease every time. He's gonna be an utter pest at the NHL level.

No, but I hope it continues because it's that type of thinking that let Hexy draft Konecny.

Konecny dropped because of his injury issues more than because of his size.

e: also goddamn I was so mad at Ottawa not drafting him

From what I recall, it wasn't so much a injury history than the fact that he plays a more physical game than his size normally allows.

Hockles, go find who schedules the TV broadcasts for the Monsters and kick them in the dick as hard as you can for scheduling now two Monsters TV games in direct competition with the CBJ. :fuckoff:

Be glad you can even watch them on TV. Milwaukee only gets replays from games after about a week and and they're usually only on at 10am.

Also Milwaukee apparently has no issues handling elite goalies as they currently lead Jimmy Howard and the Griffins 5-3.

Holy poo poo a goal credited from a save, that's a new one.

E: I've seen goals from goalies shooting directly, or just firing it around the boards then the opponent fucks it up and throws it into the net, but right off a save is kinda great.

It looks like the SD player in the far corner retrieved the puck and missed the pass to the point.

At least the NHL team is doing decent.

(and they'll need to pick someone because Fiala is gone)

If they're gonna bring up a winger, Gaudreau would be my pick. Otherwise Kamanev or Riberio might be headed south.

I don't get why people shun minor leagues so much. The prices are much more reasonable, and while you're not seeing the ULTIMATE TALENT in that sport, you're still likely to get a good game.

Hell, sometimes you do get to see ultimate talent. Pekka Rinne played two games for Milwaukee a couple seasons ago on a conditioning assignment and I sure as gently caress made sure I got to see him play.

The AHL realigned (again), but no major changes from what I can tell.




Also, they switched around the formatting of the regular season. From what I can see from the Monsters' format, they aren't playing teams 12 times anymore, and get to face the California teams now. However, they are going old-school MLB style and not playing any games outside of their conference.

That's odd, since Milwaukee will play Hershey and Wilkes-Barre next year, and we rarely get to play Eastern Conference teams

As was rumoured for a while, Vegas has signed an afilliation agreement with the Chicago Wolves. The Blues will still send their players to Chicago, but won't have any input on development.

Good job, St. Louis. :bravo:
