X. Texas Stars (AHL) Discussion

[BigG44]

Actually getting to watch live for once ... third at least. Ranford's no look, falling down pass to McKenzie was awesome. That's the type of goal McKenzie can score ... keep your stick on the ice in front of the net and good things will happen.

 

[Elysian]

Hung on for the 5-4 win. First time this season they've swept the weekend set.

 

[OttMorrow]

Honka got a powerplay goal.

2-0 Stars.

Did one of his point shots finally make it past the opposing forward's shin pads??

 

[Ronobono]

Usually they might do something at the end of the season. Dalhuisen's jersey all depends on if he's coming back to Texas this season (I think he will, forget if he has a AHL-ECHL contract). If he isn't and they recycle his number, they may recycle the jersey too.

No idea until the end for sure.

Thank you for the reply.

AHL confirms fives teams relocating to California. Adirondack, Manchester, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, Worcester

Sharks affiliate will play at the Shark Tank.

 

[piqued]

This Southwestern thing they had going for a while certainly dried up.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Anaheim moving theirs from Norfolk to San Diego.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Really? That's amazing news. There are no AHL teams even remotely close to here.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Honka got another one tonight.

 

[piqued]

There's an arena in San Diego?

I feel bad for fans in Manchester NH, as far as I know they've always had very good support. That's definitely a market that deserves an AHL club.

Holy hell, that's one of the ugliest venues I've ever seen. Looks like it should be in Edmonton.

Now there's like 5 in California next year, Long live the Gulls

Supposedly they'll play at the "Valley View Casino Center."

Had to look it up because of the name change, but yeah the arena was super old when i went to watch the Gulls play back in the late 90's but maybe getting an actual AHL team will lead to a new arena in the future

 

[dechire]

I've won some cash at Valley View. I think. I was usually drunk when I went Having hockey in San Diego makes me wish I still lived there

Its the same old arena down by the Marine base, Valley View just bought the naming rights apparently

 

[piqued]

Oh, weird it's by the airport. They should build something near Gaslamp / Convention Center.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Another 2-0 lead blown for the Stars...another OT loss.

I was too young to get myself to games when the Gulls went away, not sure I would have wanted to go anyway, never watched an ECHL game.

Kinda glad the arena is by the airport, right by the highway and likely that it shouldn't be too hard to find parking hopefully.

Have they revealed the other AHL locations?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Have they revealed the other AHL locations?

San Jose, Stockton, San Diego, Ontario and Bakersfield.

 

[dechire]

Have they revealed the other AHL locations?

Edmonton moving to Bakersfield, Flames moving to Stockton, Kings moving to Ontario(is there a vomiting emoticon because that's how I feel about this) and San Jose moving to San Jose (at SAP Center for a year which should be a huge mess)

 

[glovesave_35]

Wow, didn't realize California was getting so many teams. Aren't San Jose/ Stockton and Bakersfield/Ontario relatively close as well?

 

[mc3488]

Wtf Honka got in a fight? LMAO

Wtf Honka got in a fight? LMAO

With some ginger kid who looks not a day over 14.

 

[Wilbur*]

Honka with 2 helpers last nice. On pace for 28 points. Not bad for a 19 year old straight outta the draft&.
