Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) Discussion.

[MIGs Dog]

Dustin wolf is going to single handily win this series

Maybe DG single handily wins series.

 

[Llewzaher]

Power play Wranglers

Don't think that finish was what he intended but it worked.

Yeah he kind of lost the puck after watching the replay

Tied at 1 .. not much of an effort

 

[MIGs Dog]

That lead was short lived

 

[Kaizen]

f***

 

[XX]

Worth noting the penalty that cost them the lead was dumb as f***. Good thing it wasn't one of the young guns.

 

[Llewzaher]

Tuc PP coming up

 

[Llewzaher]

2-1 Wranglers

This coach should change things up

 

[Llewzaher]

Pp Wranglers

4 on 4

Tie game .. Kirkland pulled a Cooley rush to the outside

 

[Llewzaher]

3 2 Wranglers.. unbelievable. Should be offside I think but not checking

 

[Llewzaher]

Pp Tuc

I see a lot of the ( 14 day losing streak ) Coyotes team play in this game

 

[Llewzaher]

Boys are Buzzing moved Guenther to Geekies line .. good move.
I wish Sam Lipken was playing

Wow Calgary just walks around 2 Roadrunners who were on a coffee break and it’s now 4 to 2

 

[Llewzaher]

I think it’s over .. that goalie is too good , these guys are buzzing but just making it easy for Wolf

4 to 3 Hunter Drew

 

[Llewzaher]

Late PP for Tuc..

 

[Llewzaher]

That’s all she wrote .. largest crowd in playoff history for this team

 

[Kaizen]

Shitty - Villalta couldn't keep up with .

 

[Summer Rose]

Well that sucks.

 

[Kaizen]

Bear can tap Guenther for Team Canada world championships team now.

 

[Mosby]

Best of 3 for playoffs is some BS.

 

[MIGs Dog]

89 shots over two games. The Roadrunners brought their A game IMO, but we got out goalied. Doan was very visible and making stuff happen. Geekie showed promise. And I'll say it again, best of 3 has no place in professional playoff hockey.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Best of 3 is stupid for hockey. Even the ECHL plays best of 7 every round.

reason is the AHL league-wide is unbalanced and the League doesn't want to fix the imbalance... hence why you're seeing best of 3.... ECHL has one less round and goes into that directly....except the North had to go by points% due to Newfoundland collapsing/terminated w/ 6 games.... the AHL has been imbalanced likely since 2014/15... when the Pacific was created and then the RS was 68 instead of 76... which was then cut to 72, which is what the ECHL plays... I can remember an 80 game AHL RS....

The first of likely more friction to come between the big club and the Jr run club.

Only a complete f***ing moron wouldn’t check that first with the parent club.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

I can only guess that anyone still sticking up for AM is doing so because he's our only hope right now, not because he actually deserves it.

Roadrunners announced today they’ll be playing a minimum of 30 home games in Tucson.

They’ll play 6 at Mullet (3 B2B) now instead of the 5 they were originally allowed under their lease. The lease is also extended another year (there were 2 left). EDIT: Additional year is not for sure yet but it was confirmed the Meruelos did make the offer.

Utah did not like the 14-game proposal.

Nutshell….. gets around all the “hurdles” Craig Morgan referred to early on.

No AHL approval needed. Getting OVG/ASU approval, etc.

 

[TheLegend]

More info..... Meruelo will get a break on rent and a $2 ticket fee for facilities will be removed.
