I never realized it was so rare to hit 100 points in the ahl so I had to go back and look at who last did it.

In 2009-2010 Keith Aucoin won the scoring title with 106 points. Alexandre Giroux also broke the 100 point barrier with 103.

Corey Locke was then 3rd with 85 and 4th was a tie between our very own Jerome Samson and David Desharnais.

Lyon / the wolves having the lowest GAA is pretty insane given they used 8 different goalies.

Lyon - 30 games (2.16 / 0.912)
Koochie - 15 games (2.09 / 0.921)
Makiniemi - 14 games (2.06 / 0.922)
LaFontaine - 13 games (2.89 / 0.885)
Daniel Mannella - 3 games (1.19 / 0.955)
Dylan Wells - 3 games (3.01 / 0.893)
Michael Lackey - 2 games (6.82 / 0.792)
Beck Warm - 1 game (5.01 / 0.800)

even better, our two young goalies could have won the award if they were able to play enough.

Rockford IceHogs advanced. Wolves play Rockford starting Thursday in a best of 5 series.

Wolves have also signed a goalie to a PTO for just in case of need.

game notes:

2.55: For the first time in the Wolves’ 28-year history, they led their league in goals-against average. Despite needing to use a franchise-record eight goaltenders to get through the season, the Wolves surrendered just 2.55 goals per game to finish at the top of the 31-team league. Accordingly, the Wolves’ Alex Lyon won the Harry “Hap” Holmes Memorial Award as the only goaltender who appeared in at least 25 games for the team with the best GAA. Coincidentally, the Carolina Hurricanes won the William M. Jennings Memorial Trophy that goes to the NHL team that allowed the fewest goals. Technically, it went to the goalies who played at least 25 games, so that meant Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta earned the award. But the Wolves’ Lyon, Pyotr Kochetkov and Jack LaFontaine also get some satisfaction because they helped the Hurricanes finish with a 2.46 GAA. In that vein, Kochetkov, LaFontaine, Eetu Makiniemi, Dylan Wells, Daniel Mannella, Beck Warm and Michael Lackey also get some credit for the Wolves posting the AHL’s best GAA.

That’s funny. Warm and Lackey played 3 games combined with GAA’s of 5.01 and 6.82 :laugh:

Sure would be nice if there were an AHL team just a couple hours away they could team up with. OH WAIT. Too bad our millionaire owners are too busy with a dick-measuring contest to do anything about it. Good luck following our prospects next year, unless we sign some dual-affiliation with someone, they're gonna be stuck on 15 different teams or back overseas again.

In other quotes from ole Donny boy he’s said we’ll be loaning out prospects to other ahl teams and sending some guys back to Europe.

I hate it.

So here's a question Mrs. Hank asked me last night, and I had no answer for it.

If Chicago remains independent, doesn't that mean that the AHL has to expand to provide the Canes with a dedicated affiliate? Didn't the AHL finally just get to 32 teams?
