Geoff Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Is it really that hard to have the California teams play 8 more games against each other to get them to 76 and keep travel down. There's five of them, just add another home-and-home with each of the other four and you're all set.The way it is now, three divisions will be determined by points, while the Pacific will be determined by win percentage? I'm going to assume that Manchester's roster will be moved to Ontario and the ECHL affiliate will move to Manchester, correct?Wow, super sleuth here."We don't look to move into ECHL markets"Except you literally just moved into three...I believe the intended interpretation here is that they didn't go out with the mindset of "let's poach some ECHL markets!!!!" It just worked out that way in the end. Quote Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 we don’t look to move into ECHL markets, so it’s an ECHL market now This is like second-rate Gary Bettman talk.

Seadragon76 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Is it really that hard to play eight more games there, California teams?Either you guys play 76 like the rest of us or the rest of us can play 68 games like you twits are. Quote  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I really want to know who decided that. Did the California teams propose it or did the AHL propose it?

Sodboy13 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The Kings Insider piece suggests it was the teams. There's a quote from Rob Blake about railing against 3 games in 3 days on weekends, because, oh, the development-stifling humanity!Now, the stupidity of having 5 teams in the division play 68, and 2 others play 76, when the league had six 5-team divisions just last season? That one's probably on the league.

AnPheitseog Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 i get railing against 3 in 3s, BUT it's simply called lowering the schedule length for everyone, not just (forgot who here came up with it) the Special Snowflake teams.

Minor League hockey teams tend to lead a very precarious existence with a dependence on gate money that greatly exceeds the NHL. Weekend games do a heck of a lot better at the gate than week day games. So yeah, minor league teams do 3 in 3s all the time. That this has suddenly become an insurmountable burden is just another sign that the NHL's Western teams have no bloody clue how to run a minor league organization and should not be listened to in this case.

Again, the Sabres bought the Rochester Americans (a relatively stable franchise) back in 2011 for $5M. And the team wasn't even for sale. $5M was the "can't turn this down" price.

Sodboy13 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 While we're talking about minor league business sense, reminder that part of the Sharks' grand business plan is to make the Barracuda play Saturday afternoon matinees before Sharks home games.

HedleyLamarr Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Those are going to be really interesting days, especially for the NHL teams.The visiting teams much prefer doing their morning skates at the NHL building, as it gives them the chance to get acclimated to the bounces/sight-lines of the building. And, it gives their equipment staff the ability to be at the arena all day and do what they need to do. Also, the visiting team generally doesn't want folks in the bowl during their morning skate.Going on local time, the visiting team's morning skate is from 11:15am til around 12:30pm. That doesn't leave much time for morning skates, AHL game, then NHL game. The Sharks would likely have to do their morning skate at the practice facility, or schedule these games as "one ticket, two games" doubleheaders.

Why the Barracudas are playing at the Sharks arena, and on the same days no less, is beyond me. I get that it saves them having to hire staff for extra game days, but the burden it places on their home ice and arena staff to keep the place up for 2 teams simultaneously same day is just ridiculous.Then again the whole idea of putting the AHL team in the same city as the NHL team was absurd too.

DarkJourney Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey Seattle could please hurry and try and get an arena built so you can take the Sharks & Barracuda off our hands. Thank You. Much Appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sharks aren't going anywhere with their arena control, attendance and new long term lease. But if they want the Barracudas please take them right now. They could play at Key Arena.
