I love the relationship between Wolf and Solo...
After each game (maybe just wins?), Wolf stand on the middle of the blueline, Solovyov goes into the crease leans over the crossbar for a bit... then he moves back with Wolf's water bottle and sprays it in teh crease as if he's christening the crease and then then meet at the gate.

That was a fun hockey game, back and forth like crazy. Kerins looks like a good little player.

Oz has been generally been solid for the Wranglers, tonight he was poor though.
I'm surprised Schwindt is still on the top line. Tonight was his first goal since the second game of the season and only 3rd point since the 4th.

Not allowed to say the “R-Word” (rebuild)
Any reason that the Flames AHL program has improved so much? I thought they’d experience a dip with Mitch Love gone. But they’re still doing insanely well. Is it all Wolf?

Nope, not all Wolf. Before their recalls, Zary & Pospisil were scoring over a PPG, since being sent down, Coronato and Hunt have been scoring at a PPG, Ben Jones has taken a step forward offensively, as has Klapka. Kerins has been scoring at near a PPG since getting the chance to play. Poirier was nearly 2 PPG when her got injured, DeSimone had 4 in 6 before getting the call to the big club. Solo has been awesome defensively and IMO Kuz, & Poolman have taken steps forward defensively as well. They are also one of the top PKs in the AHL, killing at over an 85% clip despite being top 5 in time shorthanded.
And let's give credit where credit is due, Oskar Dansk has been better than Wolf.

Wranglers debuted their new Outlaw Blasty jerseys, pretty nice although I'm sure @Dube Dube Doo would disagree
They also beat the Abbotsford Canucks 3-1
Wolf was terrific, Coronato G & A, Kerins looked really good also had a G called off

Pretty @Dube Dube Doo hates the Blasty jersey for the same reason as me, it reminds me of the putrid young guns era and that extremely long (8 years?) playoff drought.
Matt Coronato up to 8 goals and 10 assists for 18 points in his first 14 games of AHL action. Zary is doing impressive things currently, but Coronato is still our best prospect by far.

Wolf is our best prospect.
And I wouldn't even say Coronato is the best forward prospect by far, I think Honzek is much closer than some think and Pelletier IMO is still above Zary too.
Poirier is also up there.

I usually exclude goalies as pretty much their own category. Way too much voodoo there, and hard to assess impact relative to other positions. Honzek has the biggest boom potential as a prospect, but also has a long way to go and arguably the lowest floor. As for Pelletier and Zary, none of them have touched the point totals Coronato is getting right now in the AHL, and Coronato is doing it as the youngest and with the worst supporting forwards out of their times in the AHL. Plus put that all aside, Coronato’s goal scoring by itself puts him on a tier of his own.
Right now I’d put Coronato on top, with the other 3 all having arguments for the 2 spot (Honzek’s ceiling, Zary’s massive step he took this year, Pelletier’s history of performance plus two way play).

Pelletier was at times well over a PPG lastyear, and Zary had a better PPG rate than Coronato already this year. Before you say only 6 games, 14 is not much better. Also who knows where Poirier would be at if he didn't get hurt.
It's Ok to like Coronato, but if you're going to claim "best prospect by far" you better expect some replies.
Just ahead of Brandon Hickey
Ages are a large factor. At the same point in development, Pelletier had 62 points in 66 games riding shotgun with Phillips who was a pretty scary AHL player in his own right. Zary had 58 in 72. He did it with less help than Pelletier, but due to a late birthday it was also his second year in the A. Poirier comes with some massive red flags the others don’t, he’s an exciting prospect but the warts are bad.
Coronato’s 18 in 14 is a small sample, but it’s also the best any of our prospects have shown at this stage in their development. I’d argue his shot is the most elite attribute of any of our forward prospects as well.
Also it’s a discussion board, I’m hoping for replies.
Wranglers beat the Moose 6-2 lastnight, Kerins joins the PPG club by going 2+1.
Coronato did not play (was he called up?). Getting lite on F bodies, so dressed 7 DMen.
Gallant (susp), Sutter and Bishop all out too.
