[Lunatik]

The Heat made their first cuts today.

Falkovsky has been sent to Adirondack
Dennis Kravchenko and Alex Wall were released.

 

[Lunatik]

Heat lost 3-1 in their second and final preseason game. McDonald stopped 19 of 21, the first goal was a short handed break, the 2nd a PP point shot through traffic. Pollock scored the Heat's only goal

 

[Calculon]

 

[Anglesmith]

That's good to get him starter minutes. Probably better in the ECHL than the QMJHL.

 

[Lunatik]

Updated.

6 cuts today including the aforementioned McDonald.

[Volica]

Saw that today, I had a feeling that's where he was going.

Get his feet wet as a professional, he will be in Stockton next year, because Rittich I do not think has a long NA shelf life.

 

[Calculon]

 

[Lunatik]

Updated to include Vey, Bollig and Pribyl as well as the assignmenta of Dyukov, Aagaard and Pollock to ADK and the release of Grigoriev

[Lunatik]

thanks Calc

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Excited to see what Pribyl brings.

 

[Lunatik]

Excited to see what Pribyl brings.

if he plays tomorrow I will let you know what I see, although I don't know if I will watch it during the night or during the day sunday with the Jays, Cubs, Flames and Stamps all playing Saturday too

 

[Otzelor]

Do you have an Ahl live subscription or is there another way? From what I remember from last year there was only a free radio transmission.

The heat game tomorrow is probably more exciting than Nucks vs Flames.........

I get AHL live, I probably watch half the games live and the other half during the night at work.

 

[Otzelor]

alright, thanks.

Let´s hope that AHL live works outside of NA, unlike Sportsnet now.

 

[Lunatik]

alright, thanks.

Don't subscribe just yet, when I watch tomorrow night's game I will sign in using my VPN and set it to Germany (there is no Austria on the one I use) and I will let you know how well it works.

Or if you don't want to wait I would suggest buying just a single game to test it out, it's better to lose a few dollars than a couple hundred.

Sounds like a good idea, thanks for your help.

If it doesnt I´ll probably have to go back to the highlights from youtube after each homegame ^^

[Lunatik]

Anyone potentially interested in AHL live, do not do it. I have now paid for my subscription twice (they returned my first payment after a week for absolutely no reason) and now re-subscribing I got an error but they still took money off my card.

Do not waste your time of money with this ********

 

[Lunatik]

Well since I can't watch teh game.

Scoring
1st
10:17 SJ Daniel O'Regan (1) ASST: None
