Its not as deep, also, nobody cares about the hockey farm teams really. But in baseball - the farm teams are very very important and real fans pay close attention to them. |

I used to play ice hockey when I was a kid, and I didnt even know they had farm teams until much later when I lost interest. I can guarantee you, if you ask any Rangers fan where the farm team is located, they most likely wont know or wont know they even had one. |

I highly doubt that statment is true. At MSG, they always have an update to how the Wolfpack is doing during stoppage of play. |

Half the people there dont know who the Wolfpack are, and if they learn for teh first time that its the farmteam for the Rangers, the next morning they will forget all about it.
The farmteams are not as big in hockey as they are in baseball. The farmteams in baseball are used WAY more. |

| ^^ same thing for someone who doesn't follow baseball or their own local team closely. you're digging yourself a bigger grave by making these generalizations. minor leaguers in hockey can also toil for years w/o making it through. there're call-ups throughout the year because of injuries, same as in baseball. i'm not sure how you can say that the minor leagues are not as important in hockey as in baseball, as they pretty much serve the same function: to replenish at the nhl level,to provide bodies when people are injured, and overall to develop young players so that they are ready for the next level. |

| Was just gonna say that Sal. Ask a general baseball fan about the Minors and they have no idea. I mean... Joe Beningo didn't start talking about Brian Bannister until this Spring. He's been in the Mets minors for years. Mike Francessa said, two years ago, "Who is David Wright? No one cares about kids like that." So... yeah... generalizations apply for both sports. |

On another note... Heilman is back in the pen (told you Vlad) and Bannister is the Mets 5th starter.
WACK! I have a hard time being excited about the Mets this year because the rotation is pretty weak. |
