Checking in on the Barons
When I last checked in on the Barons, they were sitting at 12-5-1 and at the top of the Western Conference, but there were significant concerns both on and off the ice. On the ice, their shot differential at that time was -4.8 per game and their PDO (in all situations) was 104.4, which gave me the...
Three Oklahoma City Barons Named To AHL All-Star Team
After soundly defeating the Houston Aeros on Sunday, the Oklahoma City Barons earned Todd Nelson the honor of coaching the Western Conference team at the AHL All-Star Game in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Monday, January 30th. How did he win such a coveted honor? Simply by coaching the team with the...
Linus Omark, Magnus Paajarvi, Teemu Hartikainen Spend Christmas In Miami
Neal Livingston alerted me to this story about Linus Omark in the Norrbottens Kuriren. In it, Jimmy Landström discusses Luleå Hockey's hope that Omark would return to the Eliteserien before January 31st when the transfer window closes. He also mentions that Omark will have the cast...
Hungary's Daniel Koger Is One Step Closer To The NHL
When we last checked in on the Hungarian prospects bidding to become their country's first NHL player, the possibility of any one of them making it to the show seemed remote. But one of those prospects was closer than most: Dániel Koger, a 6'2" 195 lb left wing, left ...
Snapping The Minors in Oklahoma City
The first cameras that were able to produce images worthy of viewing were messy, room-sized contraptions that worked about 10% of the time the user attempted a shot. He'd wait a week, re-organize the device, and pray that this time it worked. Flash forward a thousand years of so, and gone are the...
When The Mainstream Media Ignores Your Team
To understand the plight of the hockey fan in Oklahoma City, look no further than the order of links over at NewsOK.com/sports. The online portal for the largest newspaper in Oklahoma has placed Barons hockey just in front of "Golf" and right after "Redhawks". Lost in the sea of college sports,...
2011-12 AHL Ticket Prices
When Scott looked in on the attendance problems in Oklahoma City, the comments focused mostly on ticket prices at the Cox Center. A sampling of those comments show that the locals think the Barons lack affordable tickets, especially considering how new the Oklahoma City market is. I live in OKC...
Attendance Woes in Oklahoma City
On the ice, the Oklahoma City Barons are off to a roaring start (especially if we pretend that first game never happened). They sit near the top of the Conference with a 4-1-1 record and are tied for the Conference lead with a +7 goal differential. Granted, the team is doing it mostly with...
The Barons Mythical Weekend Against The Griffins
The Oklahoma City Barons continued their five-game homestand this weekend, welcoming the Grand Rapids Griffins for a two-game set. After sweeping the Texas teams last weekend, the Barons looked to continue their three-game winning streak and Philippe Cornet was set to continue his two-game...
Colten Teubert Rewind
Oilers fans' almost need Colten Teubert to live up to his draft potential. He's right-handed with a hard shot, he's big and willing to hit anyone, anytime, and he's a former first-round draft choice. He's everything that Alex Plante was supposed to be. Neal Livingston's take on Teubert reads...
