Holy crap! I wish I had some TV coverage out here.
Apparently I need to get up to spped on my AHL/NHL affiliations. I thought Portland was Washington's and Hershey was Colorado's. Hershey was a Flyer affiliate at one time weren't they?
The only AHL game I attended was years ago I saw Johnstown Chiefs against Hampton-Roads. Lots of good fights in that one.
Portland was Washington's affiliate, but the Caps recently changed to Hershey. Philly at one time had the Bears, but they now have the Phantoms. I suspect the Portland folks are pissed that the Caps left them for Hershey. This happens all the time... not sure why they would take it out on the players. I didn't see the game, so I'm not sure if a particular incident kicked this off.
