[Kennerback]

Very dominant period.

dayum hoefenmayer breaking out the francais.

Wow that’s a bad pp

Seems like it may be more difficult to score in the AHL. Not as much high end talent? The AHL currently has a dozen players at a point per game or higher. NHL has over 30 players!

ABB is a ppg player in this league. He’s looked off for a while

It’s gotta be a good 15 minutes since Springfield had a shot

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

We really need to score another goal soon, it's been way too easy, I don’t like it.

Yep. I hate these games. One fluke goal and it’s tied.

It's around 10-20 players per year. A lot of it is due to player development considerations (some vets play less than they would in a non-development league) and greater instability due to being influence by the injuries and trades from the NHL in addition of the ones happening in their own leagues.

Also, a lot off the vets that would be PPG move to Europe for better salary/conditions and due to the limited AHL vets spots.

 

[schwang26]

Weak call.

 

[overlords]

soft call

edit: not only soft, but they get the wrong guy

 

[overlords]

 

[schwang26]

I didn’t know Bitten could fight. Flojak didn’t do so great there

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Beat the shit out of that worthless piece of garbage Bitten.

 

[Levard]

Wtf Xhekaj! hope we retaliate from that.

 

[Beaker]

What a fight

 

[schwang26]

No.

I wouldn't expect him to play in games where tough play is not expected.

You were saying?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Interesting song choice during an online brawl. Lol

 

[Tyson]

Xhekaj fought one of the tough guys in the league and held his own. Much respect

 

[schwang26]

Apparently, Farrell must of been told to shoot more!!!

Could they call the Habs and mention that as well?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Xhekaj: Let's Go!

Good fight. Kid had to hold on, but got some shots in himself.

 

[schwang26]

Scoring would be a good choice here!

 

[Tyson]

Sam Bitten, not Will

 

[overlords]

Flo gave up like 20+ lbs and 4 years in that fight btw, probably not his job to take that one

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Laval with the PP out of all that.

 

[JianYang]

Farrell gets in for Simoneau.

Kidney takes Arseneau's spot.

No change on D. Last game for Hoefenmayer before leaving for the Spengler Cup.

Hmm I always figured the eligible players for that tournament were from Euro leagues.

 

[Treb]

AHL players rarely go because they need the permission from their team.

Laval has a bajillion D so more get to play that way.

 

[schwang26]

Sam Bitten, not Will

Oh! Thx lol!
