It's really good to see Kaliyev back on the ice. Not sure if he has a place on this team after his conditioning stint but hope he finds a team that he can thrive on.

From the AHL forum . power rankings
"
1) Ontario Reign (+4)
There was the blip of a 5-0 home loss to Iowa last Friday, but otherwise the Reign have been dominant. Being able to run Samuel Fagemo, Glenn Gawdin, Charles Hudon, Tyler Madden, Jeff Malott, and Jack Studnicka out on a regular basis gives the Reign some of the AHL’s most productive base of forwards. Since a 6-7-0-0 start, the Reign have gone 15-3-0-1 since Nov. 20."

I have to admit, with the lack of high end prospects on the Reign I have not been following like previous years. Still looking at the names they mentioned does not get me excited. All higher end AHL vets. If they were taking about our under 22 crowd it may mean more.

Has anyone been watching them a lot? If so any updates on the pups? How has Portillo looked?

 

[tigermask48]

Not a single player under 24 years of age in that whole group mentioned. Fagemo is the only one that's 24.

Portillo has been splitting time with Copley and the handful of games I've seen, he hasn't been any better or worse than Copley. Yes, I mean that as both the compliment and insult it sounds like.

F@%k them kids indeed. It feels a very apt motto for this year's Ontario team.

Pinelli has been good and showing growth….when they allow him off the 4th line that is

Booth too
