Your Friendly Tuesday Links Roundup: The ECHL Edition

I should really start calling this the ECHL links, or something. What else is there to write? CBA negotiations continue to progress, the CBA might be good for some teams (not ours), and the Patriots beat the Texans really badly last night. Wait - wrong sport!

Feast on these links, Ducks fans. It's the least I can give you.
