Two or less Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Maybe they had that lineup for 10-15 games. I'm not going to excuse Cassidy I just don't think he had a good team, at all. They signed about 40 guys to PTOs. They set a franchise record for amount of players in one season. The Amerks were a mess long before Varone and Larsson were sent up. The Amerks were one of the top scoring teams in the AHL. Was that credit to Cassidy or the fact they had several talented players? Mainly three first round picks. I know they relied heavily on veteran defensive pairing of Bagnall and Petrecki, but even when both were healthy for the limited time, the defense wasnt anything to write home about. Quote

darksabre Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 That North Division is exactly what it should be. Quote
Doohicksie Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 So you know that guy who designed the goathead logo? Apparently he's still finding work. Quote

LabattBlue Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 AHL realignment: http://theahl.com/ahl-announces-alignment-for-2015-16-p197883 Richester back in the East. The Ontario Reign(not sure what city they will play in) are in the Pacific Division? :blink: :blink: Quote
pastajoe Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 The Ontario Reign(not sure what city they will play in) are in the Pacific Division? :blink: :blink: Ontario, California. A suburb east of LA. Quote
LabattBlue Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Ontario, California. A suburb east of LA. LOL. Duh...drinking will do that to me! Quote
shrader Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 LOL. Duh...drinking will do that to me! You won't be the only one to be confused by that. Given that it's a hockey league it might have been a smart move to go with a different name. That is going to throw off so many people. Quote
Eleven Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I can't imagine how some of those Pacific Division teams are going to survive. Especially the two Texas teams, who probably will have to fly to every game except for the games against each other. Quote
inkman Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I can't imagine how some of those Pacific Division teams are going to survive. Especially the two Texas teams, who probably will have to fly to every game except for the games against each other. If they are funded by their parents teams, I wonder what the value is of having their fair team closer. Not just travel expenses for call ups but value of being able to attend games and such. Quote
pastajoe Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 The California teams will be playing the majority of their games in division, so not much out of state travel. And they will play less games than eastern teams. The Texas teams will probably fly out there and then make a bus tour of the state. And they may end up playing more games against Midwest teams in the same time zone. The AHL doesn't have strict rules on number of division games like the NHL, they take distance into account. They sometimes put teams in divisions just to even them out, like putting St. John's in the "New York" division. Charlotte is the real outlier. Quote
Ogre Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I'm guessing St. John's is in the North simply because they move to Laval soon. Overall I think the realignment is as perfect as one could except. The only losers are the cities who had ECHL replace AHL. IMO. Quote
