As you read this I am out stumping for votes for a friend of mine. By this time I have done my civic duty and voted. If you are of age, please vote today.
Now then, onto some quick links:
- The league formally acknowledged both John Curry and Brad Thiessen as AHL goaltenders of the month for October. Both are undefeated, both are top five in goaltending stats and both boast miniscule GAA. So why not give both the award?
- The Phantoms signed Denis Hamel. Hammer is Binghamtoms all-time leading scorer. I liked his work ethic. Yes, he’s older, but I think he’ll fit in just fine in the Phantoms locker room.
- The Syracuse Crunch are loading up. Yesterday they received Nathan Paetsch, All-Star Defensemen, on loan from Vancouver. Syracuse arguably boasts the best blue line in the AHL. For more on this, please visit this article written by Chairman How.
- More on the Crunch, Kyle Palmieri was named player of the week for going 5-1-6 in three games last week. Oh yeah, we play Syracuse at home Saturday.
- Check this out: AHL Calls of the Week.
That’s all for now. I may not be around the blog later if for some reason there is a call-up to Pittsburgh because the team in decimated with injuries. Jonathan Bombulie gets paid to report this stuff. Check him out later. Stay with me over on Twitter for reactions as news happens.
