A literal description of my state of mind
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jamboree is on!
By mob majority rule, we're going to use AHL teams for the season, at least until the NHL gets it's act together. Sorry for the late notice, because the season starts Wednesday, the 13th of October. So declare your teams*, and let's get ready for some Whoopass!
Personally, Rocket Jones is backing the Cleveland Barons, farm club of my beloved San Jose Sharks. Y'all can choose your teams by location or affiliation, we're not real big on rules around here. In fact, there's only two:
1. Declare your team, and place their logo somewhere on your front page. It's ok if more than one person wants the same team.
2. When your team plays someone else's in the Jamboree, then the loser must display the logo of the winner on their page for 24 hours.
So get back to me folks, and we'll get some ice action going on!

*To see all the AHL teams, head over to their home page and the mini-logos are listed right under the main banner. Rollover the logos and the team name and city appear just above the logos. Now you can find great full-size logo's here, thanks to Eric of Off Wing Opinion for pointing this one out.
Posted by Ted at October 12, 2004 07:44 PM | TrackBackI guess I'll switch over to the Rochester Americans. Cool name, and they usually have a winning season!
:-D
All bow to Wade Flaherty and the reigning champion Milwaukee Admirals.
Posted by: Brian J. at October 12, 2004 09:32 PMWell I suppose that means I'm going with the Hamilton Bulldogs ...
Posted by: Cindy at October 12, 2004 10:17 PMAfter much thought, and the fact that I have actually gotten to see them play before I am going with the Utah Grizzlies.
Posted by: Jenn at October 13, 2004 01:47 AMI'll put the River Rats logo up sometime tonight!
Posted by: Victor at October 13, 2004 08:12 AMWade Flaherty? You're kiddin', right?
Posted by: Derek at October 13, 2004 10:42 AMDecisions, decisions. I have TWO favorite AHL teams. The hometeam Norfolk Admirals, whose games I attend often, and the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins (or the Baby Pens, as they're called). We never miss a game when they are in town.
Hmmm...I'll go with the Baby Pens. Will work on getting the logo up tonight.
Posted by: Catt at October 13, 2004 10:48 AMOkelydokely then. Aeros it is.
Posted by: Matt Navarre at October 13, 2004 11:51 AMWade "Jack A Butterfield Trophy 2004" Flaherty?
Hey, he's not on the current roster on the Admirals Web site. What gives, did he retire?
Posted by: Brian J. at October 13, 2004 02:32 PMFlaherty was still PLAYING?
Crap, I figured the old man was coaching by now...
Posted by: Derek at October 13, 2004 04:09 PMBinghamton Senators seems to be the logical choice for me...go Spezza and Volchenkov!
Posted by: Dr_Funk at October 13, 2004 06:00 PMYay! Sound Tigers logo co-o-o-min' up!
Posted by: Tuning Spork at October 13, 2004 08:13 PMSo Heather, are you declaring your allegiance to the Ice Cats?
(There's also a REALLY RUDE joke in there, but I'm not saying it because you can probably kick my ass.)
Posted by: Victor at October 13, 2004 09:46 PMI'll go with the Milwaukee Admirals. For two reasons, as they are the defending Calder Cup winner (so says the official site) and my astonishment that the city of Milwaukee would need such a nautical name.
Posted by: frinklin at October 14, 2004 01:18 AMYa know, I thought Norfolk had maybe moved to Milwaukee, but I see Norfolk still has an AHL team, and they're still called the Admirals.
So, the AHL has two teams nicknamed the Admirals. That should actually be a pretty fun game to go to, and it's only five or six hours away!
