Well, since this season is all but down the drain, the only thing that we Blackhawk fans have that we can really follow is Norfolk, the 'Hawks farm team. Some pretty good prospects down there, including Vandermeer, Babchuk, Barinka, Vorobiev, Yakubov, Radulov, Wisniewski, and eventually, Ruutu.

 

But, on three different dates -- 11/14 at Philadelphia, 12/19 at San Antonio, and 2/20 at Hartford -- Comcast will show the Admirals.

 

Interesting enough, it's also been talked about having Norfolk coming to play a game at the United Center. I'd definitely go if Norfolk made their way up to Chicago.

Go Admirals!

what the f***, NHL teams have farm teams???!! i swear to god i didnt know that! wow.

Gotta get somebody into the UC to buy Dollar Bill's beer, right?

Glad to hear about the TV deal, but I'm not lining Wirtz's pockets this year, so I'll pass on the trip to see the Admirals live....unless I go to Milwaukee, that is...

I even hear that the NHL have actual ......dare i say it.........Fans

I know, boggles the mind

It would be really cool if they could work out a Wolves/Norfolk game. I would actually pay to see that at the UC.

The brain surgeons in the AHL Hq didn't put a Wolves/Ad's game on the schedule again this year.

It figures. It would have been a cool idea.

It screws us the way AHL does their scheduling because we want to see the B-Sens (Ottawa's farm team), the WolfPack (just cuz they play where the Whalers used to play) and the Loch Monsters (Hurricanes' farm team) and not one of them are scheduled. We are thinking about doing a weekend in NY to see the Sens play (try to schedule it when either the WolfPack or the Monsters are playing).
