JackieMoon Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like seeing the Nailers back where they should be, alignment wise. They always had a good rivalry with the Cyclones. Â Alignment is all set up for Dayton to come back. Would love to see the Bombers return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been rumors of a return of the UHL, If that does get off the ground they would be a good fit there.

Sodboy13 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd imagine the SPHL has their eyes on Moline, since Peoria is apparently staying there.

The_Admiral Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 As the SPHL creeps northward, they need to avoid the Etchel's orphan initialism and get it over with: the Stupid Professional Hockey League Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I've always gone with Skatin' Punchin' Hollerin' League, but I think "Slapdash" would be a nice fit, too. Â I give them credit for somehow enduring, though. This whole thing started as a feeder league for the aborted WHA reboot!

JackieMoon Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Ah, my big pet peave... Why does the ECHL charge an insane amount of money for ECHLTV? AHLTV is half the price.  I wish the Cyclones would pay the fee and move up to the AHL (when a spot becomes available). I think there could be a nice rivalry with the Monsters.

It's the provider they use. Neulion is always super expensive, for CHL/ECHL/ AHL(whenever they had it). Now that the AHL moved to what seems to be MLB.tv/NHL.tv service (MLBAM), it's significantly cheaper. Quote Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Until the ECHL becomes realstic with their prices, I think I'm going to watch AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think they'll switch soon. I'd say next offseason. With this stuff, there's always a trickle down. The AHL finds the next new hotness in providers (it was AmericaOne, then Neulion), the ECHL follows suit usually a year later, and then the SPHL the year after that. I know quite a few SP fans in multiple markets that complain about the price but still plop it down each year. As long as people still open their wallets, Neulion sees no need to drop the price.

The_Admiral Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It looks like the Chicago Wolves are winding down their once-comprehensive television coverage, as outside of Milwaukee and Rockford, no road games will be televised. (Inside of Milwaukee and Rockford, everyone's too drunk to read.) Admittedly, my chief concern is keeping tabs on the Frost Swine, so that's still there, but I appreciated having Wolves games around when nothing else was on, and I feel bad for people who cared enough about the Wolves to keep up with the road games. But at least parking is free this year after years of usurious Rosemont parking rates, so I might actually go to a game or two this year.

JackieMoon Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Just watched a whole weekend of free games on AHLTV. I was really impressed with the video quality and commentating. Definitely worth the $80 for the whole season! I'm signing up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Unless there is a legit explanation, that looks pretty petty on the Eagles' behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
