Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) Discussion

[LAIslanderFan]

Are we not going to be associated with the Utah team as an AHL team.

My understanding is the Roadrunners will be AHL affiliate of SLC. At some point if AZ gets an NHL team, there will be some sort of transition. Not sure how that will work.

So we will still be able to enjoy our prospects a few years.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

I guess that's one way to look at it - as long as Tucson(/Tempe) remains Utah's AHL affiliate then their prospects are AZ's prospects and vice versa.

And if someday we get another NHL team, the affiliation can transfer to the Ogden Orangutans or whatever. (and now that I type that, I instantly like the name)

First playoff game is Wednesday.

I think he means that anyone that sticks in the NHL will be in Utah

Geekie can head for Tucson - SC eliminated in Game 5 tonight.

That sucks , but man Tucson is really stacking up

If Geekie goes from WHL to AHL is that a pay raise?

I'm not sure. He's already collected a signing bonus but he could still collect a few sheckles for playing in the A as well.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Stacked!

Yes its a pay raise. They make peanuts in junior.

Geekie on his way per Craig Morgan..

What a stacked team..

I may need to purchase a playoff package

Didn't stay up for the game last night. Unfortunate result.

 

[Kaizen]

Need Colorado to beat Ontario today in order to hang on to 2nd in the Pacific.

 

[Kaizen]

Tucson backs into 2nd place in the division - nonetheless they do have home ice until/if they meet Coachella Valley.

Looks like the Roadrunners are playing Calgary in the playoffs.

Geekie is rocking a tinted visor in Tucson.

Hahahaha, so I had to go look up how they did... they got shutout on 45 shots 2-0. So Coyotes. I counted 11 guys that had played at least one game for the Yotes, team scrambles to get home ice in a 3 game series....and they don't score once. How disheartening.

The Arizona sun is very bright.

Tucson played well. Calgary netminder stood on his head.

The final empty net goal though...that was very Coyotes. Let me diagram it for you.

He must have got advice from Kesselring .. KR was doing “coyotes” things all night, that caused odd man rushes, luckily the goalie was good

Edit: I would hate this as a player. All of a sudden 14 home games require travel and basically become away games. More time on a bus and in a hotel room.

The more I think about it the less I like the idea for several reasons.

“We have been clear with Alex Meruelo Jr., who is the point person on these plans,..."

Winnipeg people in that X thread still can't help but bash Arizona...jeezus you got your team back and we lost ours, what else do you people want?
