Those were bad giveaways by Sautner and Carter Campner....  nice fight by Josh Teves though!  He caught that guy pretty clean with that last punch

Currently 4th in the conference and tied for most goals scored overall in the AHL! Very solid season so far. Just have to try and stay healthy. I hope Bro and Baer come back soon.

It is interesting to see the full conference standings but an FYI on the playoff format in the AHL.  There are no wildcards so the top 4 teams in the North Division and the top 4 teams in the Atlantic Division qualify for the playoffs. In the North right now the top 4 in order are Belleville, Utica, Rochester and Toronto.

Damn I was really hoping to see BOTH Toronto teams out of the playoff bar. That’s too bad but plenty of games for those Marlies to lose and both farm and parent clubs miss the playoffs. Which will shut the Toronto media up until Mr. Matthews has another full moon evening.

You could get your wish because the Marlies are currently tied in points with Laval but played one less game so they are technically in 4th based on percentage.

Great!  Nuck fans will be cheering for Laval anyways, due to Burrows being an asst  coach.  Love to see them snatch a playoff birth at the Marlies expense! 

 

Go Comets Go!!

Still a lot of season to be played and standings tend to chance much more in the AHL than the NHL because injuries are 2X the issue in the A.  Injuries on both the NHL and AHL roster impact the AHL team.  Then the trade deadline is another huge variable.  Do NHL trades strip away players from the AHL team and will any AHL players on the NHL roster on TDL day be papered back down to the AHL?  If not they are not eligible to come back down to the AHL again this season including the playoffs.

The Comets play Belleville on Wednesday.  I think if they win the will be in first in the North Division.
