I remember Edmonton not being thrilled with Pittsburgh when they shared the AHL Pens one year because they felt their prospects weren't being given key roles in the playoffs (mostly the refusal to play Jeff Deslauriers over Nolan Schaefer in the playoffs), so those situations arise. AHL teams that are independently owned (like Hershey and Chicago) could be tricky as well because they have no real desire to develop prospects for the parent club and are more likely to sign the Jason Krogs and Alexandre Girouxs of the world in an effort to be a team heavy on veteran talent. It works, as Hershey won back-to-back titles a few years ago, but there are few players of NHL consequence on those teams. Fans of those teams are usually the ones who bitch and moan about so and so being called up. Very few Hershey fans care about the Capitals.

While we're having statschat, I always hated how GWG are determined. I usually get torn to pieces for this, but it'd annoy me when you'd see a guy get credited with a winner when he scores the fifth goal to put his team up 5-0 and then hang on for a 5-4 win compared to a guy who breaks a tie with five minutes to go. I get that yeah, that fifth goal was the winner, but I'd rather see who comes through in the clutch than who pots a seemingly meaningless goal and the team hangs on.
