It was so good to see so many friends and blog readers at the game last
night and chat about all things Allen Americans. You are my motivation
for putting in the time to keep the blog going, so when you stop to share your opinions or ask a question it is reinforcement for me. Also, if you notice more
errors in the blog this morning blame it on my lovely wife who opted to
accompany our daughter to New Orleans for the Taylor Swift concert last
night. I stayed up until midnight to get all the details so the 4:00 am
alarm this morning was a struggle. Here we go:
- It is only two games into the 2024-25 season for Allen and things couldn't have gone much worse. The Americans are one of two ECHL teams (Indy the other) that have not earned a point. Allen is ranked #28 in average goals scored (1.00) having scored two goals in two games. The Americans are ranked #29 in average goals allowed (6.00) having given up 12 goals in two games.
- Last night Allen was shutout by Kansas City 4-0 and it could have been worse without some outstanding goaltending by 21 year old goalie Anson Thornton who limited the Mavericks to one goal in the first two periods while facing 30 shots. The Americans were outshot in every period with a final tally of 38-16. The 16 shots were the fewest in the ECHL thus far this season as was the two shots in the second period.
- Even though the Americans kept the game close, when Kansas City scored the first goal late in the first period it was an ominous sign. Since the beginning of last season Allen's points percentage when giving up the first goal is .286. When Kansas City scores first its point percentage is .818.
- After the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead early in the third period the Americans had numerous opportunities to cut the score to 2-1 but could not get the puck in the net. Kansas City scored two goals in the final five minutes of the game to make the final score 4-0. The Americans had no answer for Kansas City's top line of Andreev (#44), Morrison (#9) and Borchardt (#28) who scored the Mavericks first three goals. All three had a goal and two assists in the game.
- Here are the games recaps from the perspectives of both teams:
Allen Americans: https://allenamericans.com/news/2024/10/americans-fall-despite-strong-goaltending-from-anson-thornton
Kansas City Mavericks: https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/ostman-gets-his-first-professional-shutout-mavericks-start-the-season-3-0/n-6159798
- Here are the video highlights: https://echl.com/videos/kansas-city-mavericks-vs-allen-americans-oct-25-2024
- What will Allen have to do to be successful in the rematch with the Mavericks tonight?
- Get off to a better start by scoring the first goal.
- Narrow the shot differential from last night.
- Win the special teams battle.
- Get another goalie performance like last night.
- Do a better job on Kansas City's top line.
- Even out the puck possession time.
- Avoid so many neutral zone turnovers.
COACH'S COMMENTS
- Coach Adams met with season ticket holders after the game to answer their questions. Here is what he had to say:
"I don't think there was a lack off effort tonight. We are still getting to know each other and learn each other. I am not making any excuses. We didn't play well in Tulsa. I thought our game was better tonight and grew as the game went on.We got hemmed in a few times because we didn't manage the puck in the defensive zone properly. I liked our third period resiliency and our push back even though we didn't score. The got some chances at the end because your going to give up opportunities when you are pushing to get back in the game."
"Dakota Seaman just got back in town as he had to get his visa done. He hasn't skated much the last few days. I don't want to put him in an unfair position in his first game. Obviously, toughness is a part of our division. We have some guys that are tough other than Seaman, but the opportunity hasn't arisen. I am not worried about that part of the game at all.
"We need more communication within the group to let each other know they have time and what they can do with the puck."
"I haven't seen the video but we came close to cutting the score to 2-1 in the third. I don't know if was lack of execution or puck luck around their net, but I am happy they way we played in the third period. It was more banging and north-south hockey.
"Thornton was great in goal, especially early in the game when he made a couple of big saves. That is a good team over there and tonight was a great test for us in game two of the season. When you think about it we had only one preseason game and half of our players didn't play in it."
OTHER COMMENTS
- Hank Crone scored the overtime winner last night as Idaho beat Toledo 4-3. The Steelheads tied the score with a minute remaining in regulation. Hank has seven points (3G, 4A) in his first three games in Idaho.
- There are two undefeated teams remaining in each of the four ECHL divisions. A couple of surprises, but most of these teams will be in the playoffs. Here are the eight undefeated teams:
- North Division: Adirondack & Reading
- South Division: Florida & Savannah
- Central Division: Fort Wayne & Kalamazoo
- Mountain Division: Idaho & Kansas City
- It will be a busy night in the ECHL tonight with 26 of 29 teams in action. If you have FloHockey a couple of games worth checking out:
- Kalamazoo at Fort Wayne in the battle of the two undefeated Central Division teams.
- Toledo at Idaho play the rubber match of a three games series between two of the top teams in the league. Idaho has won the first two games of the series, so expect some fireworks in game three.
Here is the ECHL Today with all of the previews: https://echl.com/news/2024/10/echl-today-oct-26
LJ you let Hank go amongst many others.
ReplyDeleteYou hired an OHL coach.
Seriously?
You should fire yourself.
Barry, your efforts are appreciated as always.
Well, being the second game of the season with a new coach and a new team, I'm not ready to put the noose around my neck yet. Do I think we're going to have a Championship season with a new coach and this team, no. Do I think we're going to be the cellar dwellars of the ECHL, no. Props to Thornton, he made some spectacular saves, from my perspective where I sit. It'll be interesting to see what happens tonight and how many people show up. Can't say I'm shocked by the lack of attendance, all things considered.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Allen Eagles had a home game, so attendance is usually low on those nights. Used to not schedule home hockey on home football nights
DeleteNah, irrelevant. People need to stop making excuses. It was a poor opening night attendance.
Deletevery impressive opening crowd given the Allen football. It's either they open with a Friday against Allen football then a Saturday or a Saturday then a Sunday dud against the cowboys. Going the Friday route instead of the Sunday led to a way bigger crowd than they would have gotten on a Sunday. Props to LJ for that good call. Gotta give credit to her where it's due.
DeleteYou’re beyond delusional.
DeletePaid staffer.
Thanks, now buzz off.
Why is everyone making excuses for mediocrity?
DeleteJust own it.

DeleteBilly?
DeleteAlways nice when a member of rhe front office posts anonymously. No fan would post saying that.
DeleteFront office is posting a lot, so are arena and game day staffers. It’s ok. No issues either way. It’s just obvious they are defending things and their comments don’t make sense.
DeleteI’ve been asking this question for five years. Why in the holy hell in this day and age can’t we see replays at the game? When the refs are reviewing a goal, why can’t we see a freaking replay. The cameras are there obviously, otherwise what would the refs be looking at? We have a serious issue with our team, living in the modern age in terms of our production at the game. Our season-ticket holders and fans deserve a better quality product from the production staff. I want to know what the hell is going on. Also why can’t we mic up the refs like a dozen other teams do? we are going to get our ass kicked all year and we’re going to stick with the guys. At the very least it would be nice to know what the hell is going on.
ReplyDeleteIt would also be nice if we could time our entrances better coming out for a period. It’s just a melee of our team and the other team coming out at the same time. If you go to other successful teams games it’s a whole big ordeal, especially in the third period, When the team comes out. The teams come out with timed music and lights. I think the leader of the production needs to raise the bar. Also been saying this for years and so have tons of other season-ticket holders. If you do those kind of things people will come back. It’s not always about winning and losing to fill the seats. If something doesn’t change, I am done next year

It's a minor pro league. They do the best given the little resources they have. Its it like season ticket holdrs r paying top dollar like other places, and its not like they have government money like HS football. ItS actually one of the better tech and experience arenas for this level compared to the roughriders or jackals
Delete👍🏻 a little planning, investment and execution. Problem is acceptance of the same old same old.
DeleteEchl rules don't allow them to show the replay while the play is under review. That was added about 5 years ago
DeleteYou can't compare the Americans to the Roughriders. Much better staff and management over at Frisco. And the Jackals are so bad that they are not playing next season.
DeleteRight, but play it immediately after.
DeleteECHL is about player development and entertainment.
Having the refs mic up would just be a little something different.
I’m not talking about other sports or other levels. I’ve been to dozens of other ECHL games on the road. With the exception of Rapid City they are all better than ours. Some by a mile. And I’m not asking to see exactly what the refs are looking at. But as soon as they figure out what the hell the decision is, I would like to see four or five replays. And I would like to see replay that actually makes sense and goals and interesting plays. Other teams do that. I’m not talking about the goddamn Dallas Cowboys or the stars. I’m talking about other ECHL teams. And I’m also including other ECHL teams having the ref minced. Technology is not even that complicated anymore to do that. It’s pure laziness and acceptance of mediocrity, like someone said above. And by the way ticket holders do pay through the nose at the Allen Americans. In more ways than just the seat prices. So I realize I’m bitching a little bit here, but I’m gonna put my money where my mouth is . If we were paying what Rapid City pays that I wouldn’t be asking. Period. I’m not even asking to be at the top. I would just like to at least be in the middle in terms of production.
DeleteBobby226
Last night attendance 5517
ReplyDeleteThere were less than 3,000 bodies at that game
DeleteCirca 2,500
DeleteLess than 3,000.
DeleteThey count STH sold and also have the ability to “print” tickets game day even if not given to anyone.
The “printing” shows a seat sold.
A joke.
The desperation to sell tickets was clearly obvious. I received 2 emails this week from Allen with a link to free tickets to either game. And a ticket manager called my business early last week and offered us 25 tickets to either game. This is why we canceled our season tickets 2 seasons ago.
DeleteThe ticket folks (there is one or two rockstars), under the guidance historically of Mydra and more recently Austin, have devalued the STH and have pushed free tickets to appease the ECHL on YOY attendance increases.
DeleteThe STH devaluation is why the club languishes under 1800 STH or “Patriot Club” members.
They have devalued the offering, raised pricing and offered a product the same for free 🤔
I’m a STH paying thousands.
My days are numbered because I can get these tickets for free, albeit a few rows back or in a different section. But save thousands in my pocket.
Austin - wake up!
What is the patriot club I have seen mentioned a few times? We canceled our season tickets a few years ago so am a bit out of the loop.
DeleteSeason ticket holders new name/club
DeleteIf you want to see replays from various angles, go watch the Stars at the AAC on its new gigantic video board.
ReplyDeleteJust a replay. Not various angles.
DeleteJust a damn replay dude.
Stop conflating what we’re saying you asshat. A replay. One angle just do it two or three times in a row maybe with slow motion. It can be black-and-white. I don’t give a shit. Just a replay of the thing that just happened that was interesting on whatever size screen there is.
Delete-Bobby 226
😁👍🏻
DeleteFans are passionate everywhere:
ReplyDelete76ers fans slam front office for losing red-hot $21M sharpshooter to Warriors
I love that you present facts, don't sugar coat anything and give us so much information. Bottom line is this is team that looks nothing like last year's team, very few returning players, lots of new young faces. They need time to gel. I am all about supporting the team and leaving the criticism about management to myself. These guys do not go out there planning on losing. Give them a chance to become a team.
ReplyDeleteI’m all in.
ReplyDeleteGo Red.
Off season moves have been bad bad and bad.
Certain things can be improved.
I would encourage someone from our team to travel to away games and see the game experience and presentations and learn from our ECHL counterparts.
Some teams do an amazing job.
Heck, watch their games on FloHockey and take notes.
💯 agree! Just look at any of the other teams opening entrance, music, fan interactions, games etc. Gane day operation job is a joke. Just copy any other team if you can’t come up with any ideas. Wouldn’t even take money, just effort
DeleteHere's what I had to deal with every game with the Wolves - I know AAA vs AA but really Biscuit vs Skates - not even close, Start at the 2:00 mark
Deletehttps://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=chicago%20wolves%20intro&mid=4D955695383075446BFC4D955695383075446BFC&ajaxhist=0
I've been to see Allen play in Indy, Cincinnati, Kalamazoo, Ft Wayne and Toledo in the past several years. Indy plays at some old fairground stadium but it was a real decent game experience - great fan involvement/interaction. - like Allen games used to be.
ReplyDeleteCincinnati and Toldeo were nice also. Kalamazoo was like attending a big funeral - but it was Sunday afternoon. Ft Wayne is different - old weird stadium, fans as disgusting as the Wichita fans and not much fan interaction unless being drunk and nasty as can be counts. Not the family oriented theme you see at most ECHL venues.
Bottom line it's double AA hockey. I've been to Allen for the play-offs the past two years and it was not even close to the experiences back in the day (2009-2016). The passion seemed to disappear.
Hey Barry, it was nice to see Asuchak when a few clean face offs. I think he even tried his patented push the guy down instead of trying to win the puck at center ice face off. I may have imagine that though. Aaah It reminded me of the good old days…… Snap back to reality.
ReplyDeleteBobby 226
Kudos to those who put a name on their comments. Just wondering how many negative comments would be posted if "anonymous" was banned. My concern is this blog is read all over this world and should not be used to air dirty laundry. Maybe Anonymous should be putting their concerns in writing to the people who have the power to make changes.
ReplyDeleteThornton was stellar in net. As far as the rest of the team, give them a couple of more practices and games playing and learning each other before throwing in the towel. That being said, LET'S GO RED!!!
I signed everyone of my comments that I’ve ever made at the bottom. Bobby 226. That’s my suite number. I’m not hiding. I just don’t want to create another stupid account. They can send me emails and text messages. I like I said before, I’ve been saying the same things for five years. Also, last time I checked, this is in writing. I’ve talked to everybody that you can think to talk to. This is just another avenue. Maybe you should think about your negative comment.
DeleteBobby 226
Mary - thanks for the notes.
DeleteWhether I’m anonymous or Bob in Section 114, Row H, Seats 10/11 what does it really matter?
Negativity or passion?
LJ is horrendous.
Myles is not even into the game.
Mydra has power taken away.
Who really owns the Americans?
Why was Chad fired?
Why can’t that decision be owned with a proper explanation?
Why are my ticket equivalent being given away free?
Why does the game day experience YOY be “blah”?
Best announcer in the league though.
We can’t have those thoughts/feelings?
I maintain BJ won’t last the season, and if he does, he’ll be fired in the offseason.
Thanks “Mary” you’ve truly identified yourself 🙄
After 2 games the idea of this team starting out 0-10 is looking pretty close to reality. Almost every single team sans the expansion Tahoe side seems to have improved in the offseason. The lackluster crowd,I’ve no room to speak as I wasn’t in attendance but it didn’t look good via Flosports. And the game day staff seem to just be “going through the motions” of a AA level arena experience which is far from what Allen showed in years passed. (I’ll just say it,I hate “sweet Caroline” but dammed if I didn’t say I enjoyed the lights off and the crowd singing along). While I do think the Americans can eventually pull something together,if the first 2 games are any indication,it will be few and far between. Keep up the good work Barry👍
ReplyDeleteAmericans 1-9 and BJ will be feeling the pressure, if he isn’t already. He didn’t look happy last night at all. Zero excitement even at pre game.
ReplyDeleteTough for a OHL coach who didn’t survive a season to impact things at ECHL level.
0-10
DeleteI’m old school. I couldn’t care any less about the in game production value. I’m there to watch the game. Give me a little System of a Down, Disturbed,and Metallica blasting overhead and that’s all I need
ReplyDeleteUghhhh, butt rock deluxe 🤣 I’d rather listen to Abba🤣🤣🤣 With my musical tastes,there is never a playlist to satisfy unless you find some obscure art college in the Pacific Northwest
DeleteDid you guys and gals like the broadcast last night?
ReplyDeleteNever listen to you, if given the option the away team broadcasters are way better
DeleteI doubt that’s Tommy, but let’s test it out. Tommy, what was the issue last night with FH?
Delete^^^^** truth
DeleteConfirmation the offfice posts here
Delete😬🫣🙄👀 caught out! Lmfao
DeleteMaybe do a sound check on your headsets before the broadcast Tommy. The whole broadcast is below sub par. Your interviews about football for almost a whole intermission is a joke. Talk hockey for once instead of everything but. Random ice times for players is a joke. Seems like you were forced to do that.
DeleteThis is a great idea! We could all pick names from the website
DeleteYeah, you guys are so smart and have some great ideas. I don’t know what was thinking buyin da team and all. Wanted to give Ma a job. We kinda messed that up. Keep postin, watchin and listenin - peace out. MJ.
DeleteThat’s a good one too
DeleteI think my broadcast this night was great sure there was issues but atleast I had some good food and good conversations with fans!
DeleteWho cares if you put a name with your comments lol when looking back people thought that they were just being disgruntled fans but come to find out they were speaking the truth… facts are facts. I think most people just wish they weren’t facts or had known earlier. So many complained last year they wanted a new coach… how’s that working for ya? Many people said who cares if the leaving players leave.. how’s that working for you?
ReplyDeleteBingo!
DeleteIMO if you are going to talk shit about people doing so while hiding behind anonymous is just a bitch move. It's like the person who goes to a restaurant isn't happy with their food and instead of giving the business an opportunity to fix the issue they prefer to hide behind their keyboard and post a shitty yelp review because they are too much of a pussy to talk to the people face to face.
DeleteIf I am going to say that person X is doing a terrible job I will own my views not hide who I am.
So you are saying you like face to face… even with or without a name it’s still not face to face. Dumb point
DeleteThe game day experience as well as home ice advantage left the day they worked so hard to run off the drummers!
ReplyDeleteI still think the sooner BJ is fired and a separate GM and HC hired the better.
ReplyDeleteToo early for the Costello chants and suggestions? Asking for a friend at Sec 110, Row F, Seats 7/8
cling harder to costello, much like your ex.... he ain't coming back.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment is he should not have been fired. That’s the point.
DeleteYou still don’t get it.
It isn’t that hard to understand or comprehend.
Maybe the full day yesterday at McDonalds is too much for you.
Tissue Boy strolls in here, passes out the turds and then cries when he gets a face full of crap
ReplyDeleteAnd then comments anonymously under his own comments.
DeleteAnonymous person claiming I comment anonymously on my own posts.
DeletePlease be more of a dolt.
The excuse, "We are still getting to know each other and learn each other", applies to all the teams, including those 3-0. Perhaps a little more so than this one because players refused to return after the Costello firing, but you can't tell me with all the practices they've had they're "still getting to know each and learn each other".
ReplyDeleteLame partial season OHL coach excuse….
DeleteKansas 5-1 today
ReplyDelete7 - 2 KC
Delete5-0 Kansas
DeleteAllen 0-3 with more excuses from our GM/HC.
2-7
DeleteHard to think KC scores 7.
DeleteCome to think of it, based on our SOG last night, hard to think Allen could get 2 goals.
Memphis Dave. My buddy. I miss your accurate negativity.
Delete-Bobby 226
Most importantly, can somebody tell me why they let Chad go? He was building something ……..Hah just wanted to yank the chain of the humorless on here
ReplyDeleteYou’re clearly a moron.
DeleteBut what’s good is we now know that because you assigned yourself a dip$hit name to go with dip$hit comments.
Humorless??? I found last nights performance as funny as hell. Heck - I even find you pretty funny - you know - like a clown
DeleteJoe Ernst…period and that is a fact
DeleteAgree.
DeleteYesterday’s forum was funny.
Some classic comments.
I can tell by your response that I achieved my goal . 😀
ReplyDeleteYou’re still a moron.
DeleteOh that hurts. However will I recover? Oh wait I guess the fact that I didn’t waste my money on season tickets is victory enough.
ReplyDeleteYour goals and victories are truly inspirational - clown
DeleteI do want to sincerely thank Barry for his posts. I do enjoy the info and insights he provides. I have grown tired of the crybaby and humorless “witty “ banter some of you have provided. Wallow in your tears. And hey don’t go to the games you have already paid for. That will show them . 🤑
ReplyDeleteThen leave Bozo - and take Tissue Boy with you
DeleteYou’re a clueless moron.
DeletePhuk off.
Clown , Bozo, Moron. Now that’s the wittiness I come to expect .😃
ReplyDeleteThat is classic old fat white man response
ReplyDelete"old fat white man" LMMFAO!!!!!
DeleteAllen will be 0-3 tonight.
ReplyDeleteAt what point do the excuses get old?
BJ will be low on excuses the next time he holds a press conference. I see the low energy mentioned.
DeleteLJ is the best owner in the ECHL. Without her stepping up and buying, who knows if Allen even has a team anymore. I am a STH in section 116 and I am very thankful for her. She brings a lot of business expertise!
ReplyDeleteHa! You really think she's the best? Top 5, sure. but the best? No way. Gotta put Idaho's ownership and Kalamazoo's up there.
DeleteWhoa! LJ fan club posting. Heck, could even be LJ herself. Couldn’t resist.
DeleteYou have to be kidding.
DeleteAbsent last 6+ weeks.
Full of ego and confidence.
Zero business acumen.
Oops, sorry ran an ATT store and claims “Director” titles …. Lmao!!
Myles money.
LJ has screwed things up royally.
Open your eyes.
She has a business book. Obviously she must know what she's doing. Not easy to just buy and run a team. Otherwise everyone else here would do it!
DeleteBJ 0-3 tonight.
DeleteLJ 0-3 tonight.
One is here trying for success (he’ll get fired).
The other wouldn’t know success if it hit her in the face.
Yeah it all started with firing Costello. It’s continued.
Business Book … that’s hilarious. Self promotion. How’s the book tour going? Ps. It’s non existent cause no one gives a phuk.
DeleteMyles money honey.
LJ didn’t buy the team.
Open your eyes.
Maybe if y’all did a background check like I did about Myles & LJ at the beginning, you’d know what is really going on. Liens upon liens upon liens. Look it up. Yes it costs money to do that, but it will truly show you some of their character.
DeleteYep. Let’s not forget the candle business 😁😬😁😬
DeleteA farcical train wreck.
ReplyDeleteOk I can’t let that pass. LJ best owner? Top 5? You have got to be kidding me. If Myles wanted to give her something to do, how about selling Avon? She knows nothing of hockey . Even less than any of the posters on here
ReplyDeleteShe's been interviewed by a lot of big podcasts, even people at NHL Network. You think they would interview someone that didn't know hockey and business?!
ReplyDeleteNow I get why this country has the problems it has.
DeleteI think the interview anyone that pushes their own agenda and platform and self promotion like LJ does.
DeleteBumped into her yet at the Courtyard Marriott bar?
To hear the things she says it’s obvious in a minute she has zero hockey acumen and her business acumen doesn’t bounce far from that.
Genuinely thinks we needed change.
Genuinely a moron.
She runs a hockey team. You think the team signs players, sells sponsorships, orders gear, books flights, etc by itself? She obviously has good business acumen. The show wouldn't go on if she just had no idea what she was doing.
DeleteYou’re a moron.
DeleteYou have no idea like some others on here.
We see the players she hired - we see the coach/GM she hired - are you impressed?
DeleteJoe hired the coaches not her I would imagine
DeleteShe doesn’t run shit. All the things you mentioned were already being done for years prior to her.
DeleteHired BJ Adams, who didn’t make a season in the OHL. We could stop there but there is waaaay more to the story.
DeleteThere are a number of reasons for the player exodus not just because of Costello getting fired.
Kevin Sykes-Gilbert departed. He moved fast when he saw the writing on the wall and the dysfunction.
Who is next? Word has it Mydra’s resume has crossed more than one desk.
Podcast - did you listen to that?
DeleteWhat a loud obnoxious individual she was on that, who clearly demonstrated she has no idea.
Nah, Joe influenced.
DeleteMyles lied, we all know that.
LaSonjia fired Costello.
LJ is beyond clueless.
Follower, not a leader.
D1 Situational Leadership.
Here the deal… Myles, LJ, & Joe didn’t have the balls to call & fire Chad. They made Jonny & Kevin call him to do it. Then Kevin & Jonny had the balls to have Chad call Gens to tell him he was let go after they just fired him. Facts
DeleteHoly $hit.
DeleteReally?
That’s phuked up big time.
Kevin was a joke and interesting that they have money now that’s he’s gone and he had to have the owners sign off on anything he did. Get your “facts” straight. Hysterical that you think Kevin call Chad
DeleteIf LJ or Myles did not fire Costello, then they are gutless wonders.
DeleteNo one never said that LJ & Myles didn’t fire Chad, what was said was they had Jonny & Kevin call & do it. Also, your correct in saying Kevin called, it was a group call with Kevin on it with Jonny. Jonny is the one who had to tell him.
DeleteThat’s disgraceful.
DeleteMyles and LJ are weak.
I’m embarrassed to support this team owned by Phuken morons.
They interview her for one reason and one reason only. It has nothing to do with business sense or hockey knowledge. It’s one reason and let’s be honest, we all know what it is
ReplyDeleteYep….
DeleteIf Indy wins tonight, it’s not going to look good for Allen.
DeleteWe are at the bottom of the league.
#29 out of 29.
2-12 goal differential.
Not good.
#AccountabilityFolks
Yep... she's not an old fat white man
ReplyDeleteAre you?
DeleteAre you?
DeleteWe know who you are even though you are posting “anonymously”
Not sure about fat - but if 60 is old I guess so - I didn't get a worthless book published or interviewed by NHL Network
DeleteDo you really know who I am?
DeleteTime stamps on post might tell you more than you think. 😉
ReplyDeleteI see 16 unique IP’s
DeleteInteresting
DeleteLike previous years the visiting team announcers are punctual while Tommy Daniel is late. Such an amateur. All the while office personnel and players have a real dislike for his cocky arrogance.
ReplyDeleteThese are facts ^^^
DeleteThese guys are just awful
ReplyDeleteDylan wells is
DeleteThey all are - like monkeys trying to hump a football
DeletePerhaps Ronald McDonald can come in between periods and give a pep talk
DeleteI'll coach I got it
DeleteTommy!! Turn your fucking mic up! No one can hear you. All we hear is the other idiot

DeleteHa ha ha. I’m too old to lol. But that’s ding ding spot on
DeleteBobby 226.
6-0…Just got home and turned this on. This is going to be a long season. What’s that make now? 18-2 scoring differential
ReplyDelete17-2 but give it a minute
ReplyDeleteWouldn’t be able to notice Tommy’s volume as I listen to visiting announcer as I have for years avoiding having to listen to mush mouth.
ReplyDeleteHe is terrible!!!
DeleteWhich Anonymous said KC couldn't score 7? The second period still has six minutes
ReplyDelete7-0 and getting out shot 36-7. This is a freaking mess
ReplyDeleteI sure hope this team can fight better than they play
ReplyDeleteWe may never find out. I haven't seen any sign yet that they're inclined to stand up for themselves.
DeleteThey have no fight in em.
DeleteOh my god. What a disaster
ReplyDeleteEveryone calm down.. they have to get to know each other. It’s only game 3. 🤦🏻♂️
ReplyDeleteMr. Can't Control the Puck - this is Mr. Horrible Goalie and Mr. Can't Clear the Zone - OK now they know each other....
DeleteBJ is running low on excuses.
DeleteAll teams are game 3 or 4
ReplyDeleteGuys we got it just need to score 9 to win lol
ReplyDeleteGonna need to score 14 to win this game at the rate they are letting goals in.
DeleteFkn trainwreck.
ReplyDeleteFire bj chain
ReplyDeleteMr. Tissue Boy - what's your take on the season so far?
ReplyDeleteDylan Wells needs to get better or he is gone
ReplyDeleteI think Tucson wants their goalies played. Not sure we have much of a choice. I’d be pissed if I were Marco right now.
DeleteTissue Boy is working the game right now.. wait till after like 11:00 midnight for his posts
ReplyDeleteWe’ve got them right where we want them. 🥴
ReplyDeleteWas at the game.
ReplyDeleteNot good.
Pathetic. Looked like players were there trying, but saw little coaching. Looked disorganized.
DeleteEasily the most embarrassing in Allen history
ReplyDeleteFans were right again.
DeleteLJ wake up.
BJ can’t handle this level of hockey.
Spotlight should also be on Ferguson.
51-18 SOG is abysmal.
Heads need to roll.
And to those questioning this after 3 games, it’s been an ass kicking 3 games … 21 goals to 2.
Embarrassing.
Erie identified bullshit half way thru a season and got sick of the excuses. Let’s see how long the bunnies at this club take.
DeleteFire the idiot coaches.
DeleteBJ won’t be questioned until 10 games in, doubted at the half way mark, and if he isn’t fired then, will be at the end of the season.
DeleteA disaster. Must ask again if the team is being moved. This is typical burn the brand stuff.
ReplyDeleteI’ve wondered similarly. If the team was dismantled purposely, who benefits and how?
DeleteBarry? Although I don’t trust anyone to tell him the truth.
DeleteA bunch of lying thieves.
Barry we all feel for you. We know you’re biting your tongue. Keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteAgree. Looked like even Barry left the game early
DeleteBJ sssssssuuuuuuuccccckkkkksssss
ReplyDeleteFerguson is just as bad.
DeleteWay out of their element.
He’s a complete idiot. Watch him at the next game. Useless. Needs a season or two at SPHL level.
DeleteChad Costello this evening 🍿😁😆
ReplyDeleteI bet he’s glad he got away from LJ faster than you can say bunny jungle
DeleteTissue Boy even you can't spin this mess
ReplyDeleteNo he can’t. He’ll be around later when his shift at McDonald’s finishes. Busy day yesterday and today there.
DeleteMyles/LJ it’s ok to put your tail between your legs. Do not listen to Joe anymore please for the sake of the franchise & fans. Pick up the phone & call Chad. Making mistakes is part of the business & a learning process. We are begging you at this point. Please put aside the outside voices & do what your heart tells you. LJ don’t think anyone didn’t notice that you were wearing a #13 jerseys at the game last night.
ReplyDeleteSincerely the fans, not all, but most.
She doesn’t even understand who #13 was probably.
DeleteEven if they did call Chad would he want to come back to this mess?
DeleteGive him 10% of the club as a long term incentive and a we screwed up sorry gift.
DeletePlead, beg and borrow.
Pay him well.
Promise to never f&@$ him over again.
This isn’t working at the moment folks.
Great question, one would think he cares that much about the team to do so. So to answer your question. Yes I think he would.
ReplyDeleteNeed to hire Gens. Gens obliterates Ferguson. Mark my words on that.
DeleteJerry Jones says “any news is good news”
ReplyDeleteCongrats Barry. The comments are massive. If only they could be monetized….. oh wait
Bobby 226
Bobby, what were your observations from Suite 226? Myles stop by? Did you suggest he read the blog?
DeleteFunny you should ask. Spoke with SJ briefly before the game and asked if she would stop by to meet my in-laws that were in town. Lovely woman, have met and spoken with her and MJ several times in the past year. She hugged me and said she would come by later with MJ. Must have slipped her mind.
DeleteLook if you think I haven’t mentioned the things I’ve said in my comments to MJ before, you would be mistaken. And if you think I get on a soap box and am not cordial , you would also be mistaken. I like the Jacks personally. They are nice.
What’s your point?
Nice talking to you tonight also Barry.
I want Memphis Dave to stop by. Would love to put a face with a name.
By the way, better replay tonight. I saw at least 27 goals in slow motion.
Bobby 226
He reads the blog. They all do!
ReplyDeleteA diabolical mess. Someone needs to step up, lead and execute moving forward. Change is needed ASAP
ReplyDeleteWhere is Marco Costantini?
ReplyDeleteGenius coach doesn’t think he has enough ice experience
DeleteGenius coach is a fool.
DeleteSo is the lump next to him.
A thought before I go to bed - Zawyer is involved in a number of ECHL teams including the new one in Greensboro. Yet they chose to abandon Allen - hmmmm!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was zawyers choice - not the choice of LaSonjia Jack.
DeleteGo phukn figure…….
Maybe they wanted to sabotage the team, so they have a better chance of their teams winning. Okay. It is a stretch, but another theory to think about
