AHL Affiliate Thread - Send them the Wolves

[Chrispy]

All losses in empty arenas will be recorded as wins, given that if there were observers it would alter the result.


(possibly my favorite futurama joke of all time is the professor at the racetrack, angry about the result)

One of two TV jokes I can think of that caused my wife (physics major) to fall off the couch laughing. Fantastic line out of nowhere.

Futurism was sneaky smart. The gag three minutes in here had me rolling the third time I watched the episode and actually caught the joke.

My mother did something similar. She always said "forty minutes" no matter how far or close we were.

The body swapping Harlem Globetrotters gag was another good one that checks out.

I wish my mothers name was Carol.

I've started telling my daughter "5 minutes longer than the last time you asked."

It baffles her enough that she stops asking.

If you live near a roundabout or a traffic circle you can lengthen your trip pretty easily every time she asks. I used to annoy my sister by doing "victory laps" in a roundabout in highschool.

Technically, still applies here, I guess.

The Swedish link in the Sellgren thread anticipated that NHL and AHL will probably be loaning their younger guys to SHL (and other Euro leagues), as the start of the seasons is postponed and possibly in question in NA.

Every time I see an update to this thread, I hope that there's an actual update, and there never is.

Only tangentially related story from my childhood, but I think it's hilarious.

Christmas morning when I was 3 I woke up way too early and stormed into my parents' room all excited for gifts. Trying to get a bit more sleep they said "we will wake up and open presents when that clock says "6, 4, 5".

Little did they know I'd spend the next hour excitedly announcing "NOW the clock says 5 3 1! NOW it says 5 3 2!"

As I was reading this I thought 3 year old you would just wind the clock forward. Or is you of an age they had digital clocks during your rearing years?

Digital, no way I could’ve told time on an actual clock lol!

This may as well be a copy of a Tweet from May...

The non update update?

 

[Chrispy]

I was really annoyed to see this bump again with no update.

Then I thought it has to suck even more for the Panthers, who are waiting for the Canes to make up their mind so they can sign with the last team left.

 

[HisIceness]

Panthers should move their affiliation to Atlanta, then someone relocate to Norfolk, and maybe upgrade the Solar Bears in Orlando to AHL, that way the Checkers can finally have some close-ish competition and the Canes don't have to leave Charlotte and pay all the travel fees to little dots on the map like Binghamton. The Wolves can go independent for all I care.

Seriously, Norfolk losing the Admirals hurt the Checkers. That was the closest opponent the first year, they relocate to Syracuse IIRC, and the Checkers get put into the Western Conference. #SouthernHockeyProblems

 

[Lucky Lindy]

So yeah...

 

[A Star is Burns]

We've had a pretty good idea it was headed this way for like 8 months. It sucks but I'm kinda mentally a lot of months beyond the freakout.

 

[vorbis]

this sucks

 

[Oogie Boogie]

trash

 

[Brock Anton]

Wait, this still hadn't been announced yet?
