Nailers just got crushed with callups and injuries recently. They played Reading last night and were a man short, with SIX players in the lineup who were not with the team on Wednesday, including four who joined the team after they got to Reading - plus a new assistant coach. They were missing something like 10 of their top 12 scorers. Royals took advantage and won the game 6-0.Wheeling's assistant coach..... now the Nailers had an unplanned off day today due to flooding , they played last night, and yes, the Nailers hired another assistant coach to replace Armstrong
any detailed report on how the alumni game was and how the 2 teams were received aside from the new coach introduction?
Mariners snookered us a bit because Armstrong was never listed on the roster that was put out in public. As soon as I saw him on the ice in a Flyers uniform I immediately thought of you hence the FB post while I was at the game.That would mean it's not the person who was convinced he was getting the job...
Who will Greenville be affiliated with next season?Greenville loses Rangers affiliation, as it has been transferred to Portland
Nothing announced on ECHL.com or the Mariners website, and no articles found in a quick google search, do you have any confirmation of this, or is it just a rumor?Greenville loses Rangers affiliation, as it has been transferred to Portland

There is a person who worked for the Flyers many years ago and still has connections within the Flyers alumni and Comcast that wrote on Facebook over the weekend that the NY Rangers were going to be the ECHL affiliate of the Maine Mariners. I've not seen anything anywhere else, but this person doesn't normally post stuff like this. He is not in the business of gossip so I tend to believe that its true just no announcement officially has been made.Nothing announced on ECHL.com or the Mariners website, and no articles found in a quick google search, do you have any confirmation of this, or is it just a rumor?

it is official:
Greenville has had its affiliation with the Rangers expire and Steve Donner, for some who may not know, in ECHL circles, almost sunk the Rochester Americans prior to their golden anniversary season of 2006, has stated a mutual termination of the contract, after 8 plus seasons, Greenville will now attempt to find a regional affiliation closer to them... that is the gist of the press release from their end.
Portland's release announcing the Rangers is ALSO now posted on the team's site, and includes comments from former LLWS competitor and Assistant GM of the Rangers, Chris Drury, who is running the show in Hartford as is the case with most affiliates in both leagues welcoming Portland in this new era as we fans adjust to the ECHL.
They will be using the original logo that's on the shoulder patch and another theme night is the Wild Blueberries(which apparently was the plan B selection)I'm looking forward to seeing the potential green third jersey...
Which has nothing to do with a third jersey...
