God, everything about Dolgon is trashy and bush league.

“We’ve gotten a great reaction to it. We feel it’s going to be effective,” he said. “It’s a classy-looking picture. It draws attention to what we’re doing, and in a first-class manner.”

Me thinks his and Vinik's definition of "class" differ.

How about featuring the fact that this is a championship team coming to town? That would sell a LOT more tickets, dumbass.

Yeah.... This is going to be a fun affiliation.

And by fun I mean trying to ignore the Crunch management as much as possible.

Here's another picture of the Carol Grow (model), albeit with a bit more conservative clothing on. No bearing on the billboard whatsoever, just a bit of irony:

Supposedly the Syracuse area has some good hockey fans. And from an AHL point of view they have been bestowed with one of the best gifts a fan base could get.

They have gotten the team that won last year's championship. This same team is being mentioned as one the best teams ever to play in the AHL. There is an array of bright young players who play an extremely exciting brand of hockey, most all of who have returned. You have added some new prospects with great looking upsides. The team won 28 regular season games in a row, were 43-3 over their last 46 games. And swept their opponents in the conference final and the championship final. And have one of the best and brightest young minds behind the bench in Jon Cooper.

This product speaks for itself. Why in the world do you have to resort to an billboard that looks like one from a topless bar? You can't sell this team to an area that is supposed to have a rabid hockey fan base?

Listen, what's done is done. I'm moving on with the Ducks. But I care enough about last year's team I only want the best for them. They played their collective hearts out and gave me a season I will never again experience in my life. They deserve to be treated with more class than this. To Bullethead and Stevie Y, you got into bed with Dolgon, good luck with the relationship.
