I’m glad I didn’t go (see above, later, whatever). According to the score, I can tell it wasn’t even close…5-2. What a pisser! On the upside, we do get to raise one banner next Fall to celebrate the accomplishment of winning our division. I’m hoping the core lineup will be intact to give us a serious run at the Calder Cup next season but Dallas’ needs come first since the AHL is really a development league. Dallas could use it! Vegas is about to shut them out for their second trip to the Stanley Cup where they will face one of the two NASCAR turf teams.
Thank you anyway (Austin) Stars! I love my AHL team even if you’re the affiliate for…ugh, Dallas (the City of Hate). I do hope you become an institution like Milwaukee and Hershey have. We’ve recently been declared the tenth largest city in the US but there’s no way in Hell Austin will ever have an NFL, MLB or NBA franchise thanks to UT and Jerryworld. We have MLS yet it’s soccer so who gives a shit, they’ll fold in a couple years or move to another city enthused to get anything ‘professional.’ The NHL is a hard sell in the Southern part of the US. The rumors of the Coyotes going to Houston is wishful thinking, besides, I can afford a great seat here.
Until September! My jerseys are to be washed, air-dried and hung up for the Summer or broken out if there’s a venue with the AC turned way too down.
