We lucked out. Others weren’t so lucky.

The realignment of the AHL divisions and the capital region of NY

Dirty Crow — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:47:55 +0000

The American Hockey League realigned their divisions and put the CT whale into the same division as the two AHL teams in the capital district and the people rejoiced thinking that we would see a lot more of the rangers farm team play in our area. I personally thought it was a great idea. The farm teams of the Rangers, Devils, Flyers, Islanders and…. okay…. the blue jackets…would face off more in the minors building upon the rivalry they would see in the majors.

The post star blog posted this article – Cooling off summer with a Whale Watch

For those of us unable to let go of strong familial (albeit hyper-maniacal) connections with the New York Rangers, it is a very good day.

The division realignment places the Rangers’ AHL farm team – the Hartford Wolf- …err…the Connecticut Whale in the same division as The Phantoms.

But not so fast, I am very displeased (putting it extremely mildly) that despite the division realignments, the CT Whale / baby rangers, will only visit the GFCC and Albany TWICE this season. Why even put them into the same division?

Oh but thank goodness we get to see the phantoms play Norfolk FIVE TIMES!!!!! NORFOLK!? Talk about giving the local fans what they want. What the heck was the AHL thinking when they came up with this scheduled? Money is tight and I can guarantee you those 5 games vs. Norfolk are 5 games I won’t be going to.

Zach is a local kid from Albany N.Y. who is a big fan of the Albany River Rats, when they moved to Charlotte the fanship didn’t end and he loves the rats under their new name, the Charlotte Checkers. The rats / checkers org have done some very nice things for Zach in return of him being their number one fan. Zach suffers from neurofibromatosis, a genetically inherited degenerative disorder where soft-tissue tumors grow on his nerves. He has had 21 surgeries, including the amputation of both of his legs.

Of all the meaningless crap people “like” on facebook this one is worth it.

Sometimes you just have to take a break from being a union thug and toss a little pig skin.

65 years ago today. I wonder what my grand father was doing this day 65 years ago. He severed in the Navy during WW2 on the USS Vincennes.

Happy 4th of July

I remember this from when I was a kid. They were still playing it on TV back in the 70s. James Cagney kicked butt. Happy 4th!
