It looks like xrxs.net doesn't do junior games anymore — anyone got the latest on how to stream AHL/CHL games?

Yeah, I don't expect to be able to watch more than a handful of games, so the full plans are beyond my means. I mostly just want to be able to watch the Fronts on a Sunday afternoon.

I suspect there's room for more announcements in the AHL, since in the NHL the in-arena experience is already risking sensory overload.

For $440 000? That the NHL is stepping in here is embarrassing.

i assume you mean isn't stepping in? probably because if they did the cwhl would get mad as hell considering their players don't get paid at all

the fact that they aren't supporting either of them at all is embarrassing in its own right

Yeah, I missed a negative in there.

Compare to how the NBA has supported the WNBA, the NHL is just listless.

March's consolidated draft drankings are out.





Random thoughts:

Nolan Patrick and Gabe Vilardi are nearly a year apart in age.

Cale Makar is a tremendous name, and he probably needs to end up on a team with Kale Clague.

Klim Kostin is the most stand-up comedian name in hockey history.

Rob Thomas!

The US women's hockey team got a deal which pays them 70k a year plus more stuff to be in line with the mens team. Insurance, better per-diem, better travel accommodations, etc. So good for them.

Good on everyone who made this happen. Lotta people put a lot on the line.

After losing the first two games in completely different humiliating fashions, the Fronts have won three straight and lead Hamilton 3-2. Now that I've posted this, of course, they will surely lose the next two.

Inevitable bust Jason Robertson has 8 points in 5 games.

e: I just saw that London is down 3-2 to the Spits (and were down 3-1). That would be a big upset.

Best part about that game is that it started at 2 in the afternoon and got over at 8. Last ferry off the island is 9 pm so Everett almost got stuck there.

That would've been fantastic.

In Fronts news, they're one game away from being swept in the 2nd round again.

I would like to reiterate my point that Jason Robertson should be a top 5 pick. He's been in on 16 of the 26 goals they've scored so far in the playoffs.

He was leading the O in playoff scoring before the last set of games. I found a new place to watch junior hockey so I've gotten a chance to watch a few games and he doesn't seem to skate so good. I dunno if any Serious People have written about him.

Also he's a Front so no matter how good he is something horrible will befall him and he will bust.

I have no idea why he's being overlooked this year.

Because people were paying attention during Bennett's draft year when I razzed Pronman over every Fronts prospect being an inevitable bust no matter how improbable or act-of-god-demanding such an outcome is.

Otters beat the Knights in game 7 OT. Also I think the Otters TV guy is trying to do the thing that the Panthers radio guy used to do, where he'd insert a random movie quote after a goal.

Do we want to do a World Championship thread? Anyway for some reason good players went for the US this year, despite the Olympics not being a thing. Eichel and Gaudreau are there and a bunch of other guys like Hellebuyck, Trouba, McAvoy, Larkin, Keller, Lee, Nelson etc. It looks like the best US WC team in years.

Canada has got Scheifele, ROR, Giroux, Marner, MacKinnon, Wayne Train, Skinner, Couturier, to name a few. Their D looks like a fun one for international ice with a possible top four of Vlasic, Demers, Barrie, Morrissey.

Sweden has a ton of NHLers as well: Klingberg, Stralman, Lindholm, OEL, Nylander, Joel Eriksson Ek, Hedman, Landeskog, etc -- probably the most NHLers they've ever had at the WC.

More threads are always good.

This plan seems to be more ambitious than intelligent but lets see how it works out.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/cwhl-unveils-chinese-expansion-franchise-2017-18/

quote:

The Canadian Women’s Hockey League has reached the Far East.

The league announced on Monday that it has reached a five-year deal to expand into China, with the formation of the Kunlun Red Star (KRS), which will begin play in the 2017-18 season.

As a result, the CWHL schedule will see a 24 to 30 game increase with the five North American teams travelling to play a three-game series with Kunlun.
