Watching Wolf Pack’s game from yesterday.
Glad to see the organization finally realized that Scanlin should be playing back on his natural left.
Berard is a dynamic talented winger who drives play. Hope that translates to the NHL.
Sykora, though two years younger has great jump and energy. Ceiling hopefully is a lot higher than I wrongly gave concern about his last season. Love that he is going to the net. Most likely he didn’t go there last season was because of positioning.
The team had Edstrom, Rempe, Nash, Blidh, Korczak, Henriksson and Leschyshyn who all played net front.

Curious to whether he is any relation to the former NY Ranger draft pick and great Buffalo Sabre’s defensive forward Don Luce?
Edit: Yes he is. Griffin is Don’s grandson.
Nice.

Harpur had a fight in the second game with Dylan Peterson of Springfield. He knocked Peterson around in that one a lot but might have hurt himself doing it. My guess is all three of them might be banged up a bit.

Sucese out to, my eye ain't trained yet for him
Hope doesn't mention Harpur
The AHL and other minor leagues are so heavily reliant on ticket sales and then revenues from people in the arenas. If they can get three weekend games, those will all likely be bigger revenue generators than a game on a Monday or Wednesday or whatever. It's also why they always have the goofy promotional nights; anything to get butts in seats.
Travel is also an expense both in terms of actually moving the teams and equipment as well as the additional travel stipends the teams have to pay out. So if they can squeeze in three local games only requiring one round-trip bus trip and no hotel stay, that's saving some coin for the team.
No huge TVs contracts or anything for these franchises. Most are owned by their parent NHL clubs but they still pinch pennies because the margins are so thin.
Well, Griffin's Hartford Wolfpack career didn't last very long as he was released after one game. Watching the 4 minute highlights I only saw him have two turnovers. One day this will be a trivia question.
Meanwhile Bloomington lost both games over the weekend. Shut out in game 1 and lost 4-2 in game 2. Case McCarthy played in both games. I'm guessing that Robertson might have been a last scratch and McCarthy couldn't get from Binghamton, which played Saturday night to Bridgeport the next afternoon so the Pack signed Luce. McCarthy now replaces Luce who replaced Robertson. Siedem had been the 7th D and he came in for Harpur. Bringing up McCarthy suggests that either Robertson or Harpur might not be ready for this weekend's games.
Should have just kept Yoon steady 3rd pair AHL RD.
That’s his upside. Not every player in Hartford needs to be a prospect.
Right know he’s back in the ECHL with Utah Grizzlies.
FloHockey shows 6 P.M. eastern time start tonight.
Doesn’t seem right. Maybe there is a pregame show included?
Lifted off of Wolf Pack website:
HARTFORD, CT – The Hartford Wolf Pack open a three-game homestand this evening as they welcome the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to town for the first time this season.
The puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m., and coverage is available on AHLTV on FloHockey and Mixlr.
Tale of The Tape:
This is the second of six meetings between the Wolf Pack and the Phantoms this season. It is the first of three meetings at the XL Center in downtown Hartford. The sides meet next on Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 27, in Hartford.
The Phantoms won the opening meeting by a final score of 4-3 in the shootout on Oct. 12, at the PPL Center.
Brett Berard opened the scoring 17:56 into the hockey game, blasting home the club’s first goal of the season on the power play. The Phantoms would strike twice in the second period on the power play, getting their first goal of the season at 5:27 from Jacob Gaucher on a redirection. Samu Tuomaala then converted a high-danger scoring chance on the power play at 12:06, making it a 2-1 game.
Anton Blidh tallied the only five-on-five goal of the contest 5:05 into the third period, finishing a pretty passing play with Adam Sýkora. Anthony Richard restored the lead for the Phantoms just over two minutes later, however, potting a rebound at 7:20 on a five-on-three advantage.
Casey Fitzgerald’s six-on-four power play blast at 18:55 tied the game 3-3 and forced overtime, securing a point for the Wolf Pack.
Olle Lycksell’s goal in the third round of the shootout would be the winner, however, as Alexei Kolosov stopped two of three Wolf Pack shooters, including Alex Belzile to preserve the win in the third round.
Wolf Pack Outlook:
The Wolf Pack were shutout for the first time this season on Sunday, dropping a 4-0 decision to the Bridgeport Islanders.
Brian Pinho’s shorthanded goal 6:59 into the second period, the first allowed by the Wolf Pack this season, would be the game-winning tally. Alex Jefferies and Marc Gatcomb both scored in the second period as well, as the Isles struck three times in 5:51.
William Dufour’s goal at 18:21 of the third period was the dagger, making it 4-0 at the time.
The loss was also the Wolf Pack’s first regulation defeat of the season. The club finished their first three-in-three weekend of the season with a record of 2-1-0-0.
Berard leads the Wolf Pack in both goals with four and points with six (4 g, 2 a). Belzile, meanwhile, leads the club in assists with five.
Phantoms Outlook:
The Phantoms were also shutout in their last outing, falling 3-0 to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Saturday night at the PPL Center.
Emil Bemström’s goal 3:05 into the hockey game would be both the icebreaker and the game-winning tally. Joona Koppanen and Boris Katchouk both struck in the third period, with Katchouk’s tally coming into an empty net at 19:31.
Filip Larsson made 41 saves to collect the shutout for the Penguins.
The Phantoms lost both games in their home-and-home set with the Penguins last weekend. They dropped a 4-3 decision on Friday night at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.
Gaucher leads the Phantoms with two goals on the season. He is the only player with more than one tally to this point. Tuomaala’s three points (1 g, 2 a) lead the club in that category.
