How does the CHL compare to the old IHL? I really miss that league.

OK, do you mean the old old IHL that was AAA with teams directly affiliated with the NHL, or the old IHL that used to be the UHL that was a AA league? The AA IHL merged with the CHL a few years ago, but some of those teams have folded or moved to the ECHL, like Ft Wayne and Evansville. The only teams left in the CHL from that league are Quad City and Bloomington.

I was only 11 when the Blades left and wasn't really into hockey, so I don't remember it well enough to compare. I've only been to one MO Mavs game, so I should probably give it another chance... I just wasn't all that impressed with the quality of hockey (and I really enjoy college hockey, so I'm not a complete hockey snob).

I think this sums up the absurdity nicely...

The CHL is at least a level below that, its more of a AA- league, most of the teams have no NHL or AAA affiliation. The old old IHL was great.

Just got back from the Cutthroats game against the Mavericks. Clearly not anywhere close to the NHL level of play, but it was still an entertaining evening. I'd almost forgotten how much I love hockey.
It was fun to watch Quincey playing out there. He never made any really flashy plays or anything, but no one else on the ice had a slapper that was anywhere CLOSE to as good as his. He also executed a couple of nice poke checks right in front of me, where the other guys basically just slap around at the other guys' feet until they lose control. Anyway, given the lack of other options, I'm excited for it and will probably try to make it to quite a few games this season. Hell, it costs about the same as a movie on a Friday night these days, and there's no question what's the better entertainment. |

Blues fans, if you would like your hockey fix... in my NHL 13 franchise, the Blues ended up as the 4th seed. I was 1-3 against them in the regular season (2-4 3-4 6-4 1-4), but they didn't seem nearly as aggressive in the postseason and I swept them (4-1, 5-1, 6-5 OT, 4-3).... in game 3, I scored with an empty net to tie it, got a penalty at the end of regulation, and scored short handed in OT.
Quite realistic, eh?
