Any ideas on lines?

[Drury18]

At this time, the only information I know about the lineup is that Ortio gets the start.

However, I am pretty sure I didn't need to see a confirmation for that.

I hope Carr gets some starts and they keep him around.

Very excited to see how Baertschi, Granlund, and Ferland start the season.

[Scornfire]

Why does AHLlive have to be so expensive, bleh

[Loyal and True]

Starting Lineup as per Radio announcer:

Ferland-Reinhart-Jooris
Kulak-Cundari
Ortio

Scratches include Carr, Elson, Van Brabant and I didn't catch the other scratches

[Loyal and True]

Yonkman is captain
Cundari and Jooris wear "A"

[Drury18]

Cundari and Jooris are Alternate Captains

I know. 150 to follow one team, 300 for everyone. Just crazy prices. I don't see why it should be more than the NHL game center.

[AC]

We are underway! I'll rip and upload any worthwhile highlights during the game.

[FBI]

any streams for this one?

[Drury18]

Lines:

Ferland-Reinhart-Jooris
Agostino-Arnold-Hanowski
Baertschi-Granlund-Knight
Gillies-Tousigant-Hathaway


Kulak-Cundari
Acolaste-Yonkman
Culkin-Seiloff

[Loyal and True]

Baertschi playing with Granlund and a couple early chances.

Agostino-Arnold-Hanowski appear to be 3rd line

Less infrastructure, higher costs, smaller base of users.

[Drury18]

Baertschi-Granlund-Knight seem to be line. Perhaps they were listening to us about the Knight to RW thing.

[FBI]

Yeah I used to be so excited about Knight and that is certainly fading..

[Scornfire]

I'd wager they'd make a far larger profit, and expose the league to a much wider audience (specifically the fans of the Farm team's main club) if they made the price more reasonable. there's just no appeal to shelling out that kind of cash for what's essentially a webcam feed (if my recollections of the streams last year are accurate)

[Enoch Root]

bit the bullet and bought AHL live - expensive and crappy quality.

Don't care though - the baby Flames are going to be awesome this year!
