Lunch Bites

What do you do when your three oldest rivals shut down? If you're the Bismarck Bobcats, I guess you just shrug your shoulders and move on. Maine Black Bears, Santa Fe Roadrunners, and Lone Star Cavalry fans might be interested in Bryan Plaszcz's game-worn Roadrunners jersey now up for bid on ebay. This blog is not the only website with a web counter spinning wildly... On draft day the NAHL's website logged an all-time record 10,103 unique visitors, twice their daily average. Finally... for those who have emailed me with concerns over the potential new owners of the Fort Worth Texans, specifically their status as (big-time) professional poker players. While I appreciate the concern about gambling, was this ever an issue when a casino owned a franchise? Sure, it was the Sault Kewadin tribe that owned the Soo Indians, but the tribe also owns several casinos, and the team was in part a marketing tool for those casinos. I don't see this as an issue.
