Far be it from me to get overly worked up over minor league sports, but it needs to be said: the Rochester Americans are having a terrible season. They have won one game since the end of November. Their long-time parent franchise, the Buffalo Sabres, will end their affiliation with the Amerks next season. The dispute between the NHL and AHL clubs was primarily over the fact that the Amerks management signed a secondary affiliation with the Florida Panthers so they could line their pockets. But it also has to do with the fact that the Sabres management doesn't want anything more to do with the Amerks management. There has even been talk of buying/forcing/litigating the team's executive (an ignorant greedhead) out. It's sad - read more about it here.
I don't think I've attended an Amerks game in about two years. Is it any wonder why?
