A fan blog about the AHL's Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins

Thursday’s are for Blogging….

There isn’t really much to write about after the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins season ended last Saturday. The exit interviews are over, the team has disbanded and are headed home.

So here I sit, twiddling my thumbs and watching the world go by.

There’s a couple of topics that happened since the last time I blogged. If you already knew about these, I’m sorry. I’ll try to keep up the blog regularly as the content allows. At least once a week, why not Thursday’s?

Jeff Zatkoff was the only call-up from Wilkes-Barre on Monday. Before he left town, he talked with Mike O’Brien about the season that was.

— On the other side of the goal post, Mike O’Brien caught up with Brad Thiessen in this podcast.

— Mark French, late of the Hershey Bears, is off to Russia to coach another kind of Bears.

Syracuse gets Grand Rapids in the Calder Cup Finals, which start Saturday in Central New York.

— Speaking of, you can watch the Calder Cup Finals for FREE on AHLLive.com using the promo code “CALDER2013”

— Finally, I don’t know if you have noticed, but the 2013 Offseason Moves tab is up and active at the top of the page. I plan on keeping this updated as the summer wears on. If you spot any errors or omission, please let me know in some form of social media.

See you next Thursday?

    I have experienced problems with AHL Live as has everyone else. I bought the last two games of the Reading Royals Finals series with Stockton and was pleasantly surprised. The ECHL uses America One and the quality was absolutely better than AHL Live and I didn’t experience any disconnects, screen freezes, or other issues.
