Hicks using reserves to fund teams
Interest reserves are typically established in loans for borrowers to use if they can’t meet interest payments, but this loan was structured to allow Hicks to use it for other needs. Some finance sources not connected with the loan expressed shock that Hicks would be allowed to use the reserve in this fashion, because it means he is using the money of the bankers, who are not being paid, to fund the teams. If the interest reserve is near empty, it could put pressure on the National Hockey League to forward money to the Stars the way Major League Baseball did with the Rangers this summer. The NHL, which has to approve each time Hicks taps the reserves, declined to comment.

OT: Gabbard Remains Out of Control ; Kason Gabbard Walks Four, Hits Two and Gives Up Seven Runs in the First Inning, and the Sea Dogs Never Recover.
When Kason Gabbard rejoined the Portland Sea Dogs, the plan seemed for him to make a few starts, then move on to Pawtucket, then maybe back to the big leagues.
Not so fast.
Gabbard's command has been an issue since he's arrived. It hit a low point Tuesday night.
Gabbard failed to make it out of the first inning, allowing seven runs in a 9-5 loss to the New Britain Rock Cats at Hadlock Field.
