Chirps from Center Ice

The second round opponent for the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins has been decided, finally.

It’s the Providence Bruins.

Who are the Providence Bruins? The regular season champions. The Atlantic Division Champions and only the tenth team in AHL history to come back from down 0-2 to win a five game series. They defeated the Bears tonight 3-2 to become just the tenth team in AHL history to come back from an 0-2 hole in a best of five to win a series.

The Penguins open Friday in Providence. The rest of the schedule can be found here:

Pressed for time here, but you are in luck! This week, I wrote two previews. One for the Providence Bruins, which you will see tomorrow at noon and one for Syracuse I am probably placing into the trash bin on the blog now by the time you read this.

Let’s Go Pens! All In!!!!
