    THIS!

Next season would be even worse because they would need to travel all the way to California for games however I believe there is a franchise swap and the current roster will play in Winnipeg as the AHL affiliate and Montreal will take over as the St. John's parent club.
    They fly but tey also bus between other places- ie they fly to one place and then bus if the next game is close. Lots of travel right after a game to the next place

      From the Boston Herald.

      A press conference has been tentatively set for 10 a.m. this Friday during Frozen Four weekend to tub-thump the proposed four-team 'Festival of Ice Hockey Tournament' in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to be played next Nov. 27-29, that includes the Huskies and River Hawks.

          Having made the NCAAs three straight years, it really sucks so hard that the year the FF is in Boston, we didn't get the chance to play there.

                  yeah... but realize that we're right in thinking "hey, we should be there". Well, not totally right but I'd like to think a fighting chance. Better than having it close and a million miles away.

                  Besides, Cigar City is in Tampa.

                  edit: heck, I was just thinking beer... if the brewery is any indication to Tampa's cigar reputation then you'll be happy... long season until that happens, if it does.

                      Good for PC. I will be cheering them for them on Saturday night.

                      How bad is the ESPN coverage? Apart from all the talk about Eichel, during a very good game, they cut to some crappy Max Kellerman (sp) show the instant the PC/UNO game finished. ESPN blows.
                      Let's go Lowell.

                            They were butchering Gillies name and Noel Arrciari is a redshirt junior not a senior

                              Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about the crap coverage from ESPN. This will happen as long the NCAA bundles the basketball/football coverage into the broadcast agreement with ESPN.

                                very interesting that Gillies hasn't brought home the bacon until now... I suppose its the right time to do it. He's a senior, yes?

                                edit: to that end, for those seeing the news, I'm fine and at home.
