Comments Off on Weekend Preview — Send Kirk to Rockford
Posted by nafsnep on December 26, 2025
The Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins return from Christmas break on top of the Atlantic Division and need (I believe) just two more points to send Head Coach Kirk MacDonald to Rockford, Illinois to coach the Atlantic Division All-Star team next month. The coach of the first place team in each division gets that honor at the end of the calendar year.
Music to Set the Mood…
–
Again, not exactly pandering to anyone born after 1980. But it is what it is.
A Quote…
A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.
— John Wooden
I think MacDonald has gotten about all he can out of his players which have rewarded the second year coach with a first place showing for most of, if not all of this still young season. I think that the sky is the limit with this team.
The Setup…
Home with Hershey Saturday, on the road with the Phantoms on Sunday and then hosting the Charlotte Checkers on Tuesday again. I think that Tuesday game is one that a lot of the players have circled in the locker room.
Last week the Penguins took 5 of 6 points out of games with the Utica Comets (a win in Utica Friday followed by a home shootout loss) and then a Sunday win against the Bears.
The Bears beat Bridgeport last Saturday and then lost to the Penguins.
The Phantoms lost to the Islanders Friday then needed a shootout to take down the Hartford Wolf Pack. They host the Checkers on Saturday.
Charlotte returned home and lost clean to the last place Springfield Thunderbirds Saturday then exacted some overtime revenge against the Birds on Sunday with an overtime win. They are in Allentown on Saturday, Hershey on Sunday before heading up to Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Records…
Wilkes-Barre is 21-7-1-1 with 44 points and lead the Atlantic.
Hershey is 14-11-1 with 29 points and are fifth in the Atlantic.
Lehigh Valley is 14-11-1-2 with 31 points and are fourth in the Atlantic.
Charlotte is 15-9-2 with 32 points and are third in the Atlantic.
The Rest of those Rascals…
The Checkers are trying to make it a three horse race but so far it’s basically the Penguins and Providence Bruins who are the class of the field. The Bruins are 20-5-1 and have 41 points in second in the Atlantic and have four games in hand on Wilkes-Barre. They beat the Syracuse Crunch last Saturday. They have Springfield this Saturday in Massachusetts. At the end of the night on Tuesday, they will have SIX games in hand on the Penguins. One of those will be burned off when they play the Thunderbirds on the road this coming Wednesday.
After Tuesday, the Penguins aren’t in action again until Saturday in Syracuse, so let’s run through everyone else’s schedule up until then.
Charlotte doesn’t play till Saturday when they are in Cleveland.
The Phantoms will host the Bears on Wednesday, then off till Saturday (at Belleville)
Same for Hershey, who will host the Rockford IceHogs next weekend.
Springfield is one of the hotter teams in the AHL right now and went from last place in the division all the way up to sixth with a 9-11-4-2 record and 24 points. I gave you what they did against Charlotte last weekend above. They host Providence this Saturday, then Bridgeport on Sunday and then host the Bruins on New Years Eve. They will host the Islanders again on January 2.
Bridgeport is 11-13-1-1 and have 24 points in seventh. It’s been a struggle for the Islanders who beat Lehigh Valley and then lost to Hershey last weekend. They host Hartford Saturday, travel to Springfield Sunday then are in Hartford on New Years Eve. They return back to Springfield on January 2.
I would like to think at this time that one of the three teams between Springfield, Bridgeport and Hartford are going to make playoffs. I don’t think it will be the last place Hartford Wolf Pack however. They are 9-13-4-1 and have 23 points. They lost at home against Syracuse last Friday, then in Allentown via shootout on Saturday. They have a home and home with Bridgeport that starts Saturday in Connecticut and is paid off on New Years Eve in Hartford. They will host the P-Bruins on next Friday.
Who’s Up? Who’s Down? Who’s Out?
Aaron Huglen, Sebastian Aho and Alex Alexyev are still injured. The ECHL went on strike today so players like Mathieu De St. Phalle and David Breazeale may be recalled to the AHL while the collective bargaining gets figured out. Taylor Gauthier will be playing in the Spengler Cup. There are a couple others who may end up here while the Nailers are on lockout.
I haven’t seen Danton Heinen’s name appear much in Pittsburgh so I wonder if he will get shipped back at some point. Rutger McGroarty has graduated I think and so has Ville Koivunen.
What can we learn about the Penguins this week?
I think you can pencil them in as better than Hershey and Lehigh Valley but note that they need to play a full 60 to beat those clubs. They can’t play disinterested or loose hockey and expect to just pull four goals out of their arse in the third period and coast to a win. It’s Charlotte that has my attention based of off how pedestrian the Checkers made the Penguins look.
Also, they are missing Sam Poulin, who was traded. You need a lethal scoring threat. Joona Koppanen stepped up last weekend with 5 points but that’s not his repertoire, so to speak. I want to see some combination of Phil Tomasino, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard or Tristan Broz just explode and start pouring in points. Valtteri Puustinen remains a lethal threat but he’s on track to be the next Sam Poulin if he doesn’t start producing on a more consistent basis.
This team is in first place because of those players, but in order to stay there everyone has to pull the same rope, proverbially.
Who’s in Goal?
Sergei Murashov – Joel Blomqvist then whoever plays the best of those two gets the net Tuesday against the Checkers. I think Blomqvist has been outplaying Murashov by an eyelash recently, so it’s going to be interesting to see who gets the net Tuesday.
Clay Stevenson, Carson Bjarnason, Cooper Black is my guess for the opposition.
Who’s Running the Show?
Chris Conway and Austin O’Rourke have the assignment on Saturday with Jud Ritter an J.P. Waleski on the lines.
O’Rourke will follow the team to Allentown Sunday and pair up with Mathieu Menniti with Davids Rozitis and John Rey on the lines.
No Tuesday crew assignment yet. Surprise refs!
Looking Ahead…
Tuesday is the last home game until January 16 but the games are spread out and pretty much all in the same place. They have one game next weekend and that is Saturday in Syracuse. I’ll have a lot of time on my hands next weekend. Too bad it’s January and not June.
Give us a bold prediction…
Handshakes for Kirk MacDonald Sunday in Allentown as he will be announced as the head coach of the Atlantic Division All-Star team at that time.
Comments Off on My Favorite Defensemen — Pens WIN 3-1

A goal by Matt Dumba and then an empty net power play goal from Owen Pickering iced the Sunday afternoon contest away for the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins against the Hershey Bears. Penguins win 3-1 to go into the Christmas break three points clear of the Providence Bruins for first in the division.
Where’s the punch line, you ask? I’m not exactly fond of the body of work or effort for Matt Dumba and have soured on Owen Pickering’s work. That both guys get on the score sheet (Dumba had an assist) makes me feel silly right?
Get out of here with that. I cheer for the logo on the front and not the names on the back. Lovejoy. Brookbank. DeSmith. That’s it. That’s my list of favorite Penguins players. The rest? They help my favorite team win and I like that.
Anyway, enough about me. Here’s how they lined up…
Oh, Sergei Murashov stole the show in this game, making some impressive saves throughout. He stopped all 14 he faced in the first period and 26 overall.
Third Period: Even though I thought that referees Ben Betker and Koletrane Wilson had an okay game, the Bears bench were hot at them along with J.P. Waleski and Dylan Blujus all game and rightfully so in some circumstances with icings and some non-calls (and calls) on both sides.
Bears head coach Derek King wasn’t thrilled with the explanations throughout as well.
In contrast to Gallant in the first, Dumba showed no emotion. I don’t know if he thinks he’s beneath playing at this level or if he thinks the game just comes easy to him or what. Perplexing player.
Murashov gets beat when a puck caroms off of Daniel Laatsch’s stick and in and the Bears were on the board with about six minutes left.
A.C.'s second of the weekend has given us new life!
That’s Andrew Cristall’s goal there and a point in his ninth straight for the Bears.
Late, Spencer Smallman slashes a Penguins going to the net and Owen Pickering scores into the empty net as Derek King got desperate and pulled Stevenson.
King’s team was late for the ensuing face-off which drew the ire of referee Koletrane Wilson, capping off a frustrating night for the Bears with the AHL Officiating Department.
Three Stars: 3) Sergei Murashov (26 saves) 2) Zach Gallant (goal) 1) Matt Dumba (goal, assist)
The Good: I thought that both Murashov and Joona Koppanen were outstanding all weekend. Koppanen had an assist today to go with a five point weekend. (two goals and an assist Friday, a goal Saturday) – he probably could and should get AHL Player of the Week honors.
The Bad: Would have liked to see Sergei Murashov get a shutout here, but those are the brakes.
Turning Point: The Dumba goal that made it two tipped this razor thin game on the side of the home team.

A goal from Cam Squires and Josh Filmon, their first goals of the season for their Utica Comets, are enough to push the game into overtime and then a shootout and then a Lenni Hämeenaho shootout goal, the only during the period is enough to give the visiting Comets a 3-2 shootout win.
Joel Blomqvist’s nickname should be The Bondsman, as he was bailing his Penguins team out time after time. The Penguins earned this point, but the way they played the full 60, didn’t nor should have earned the two points.
Lineup Notes: Scooter Brickey for Daniel Laatsch on defense, Raivis Ansons for Phil Tomasino who was added to the injured list with Aho, Huglen and Alexeyev. I didn’t listen to Nick Hart pregame so don’t know the extent of the injury, if they even disclosed that.
First Period: No scoring. Penguins had a power play snuffed out on a Tristan Broz hooking call.
Second Period: Cam Squires gets his first goal of the season on a shot that Phil Kemp tried to block, which redirected high and into the net for a 1-0 Comets lead.
Third Period: Penguins knocking and knocking, sometimes they look away and Blomqvist has to bail them out again, finally Avery Hayes gets a puck to squirt across the line and it’s tied again.
Overtime: Matt Dumba took a lot of dumb penalties in the game, none more dumber when the Penguins had possession of the puck in overtime and he takes an interference penalty.
Penguins kill it, survive a scare where the puck dinks off the back of Blomqvist but stays out, and it’s off to…
Shootout: Lenni Hämeenaho in the bottom of the second…
Jákub Małek stopped Tristan Broz, Rafäel Harvey-Pinard and Gabe Klassen in that order.
Three Stars: 3) Cam Squires (goal) 2) Josh Filmon (goal) 1) Lenni Hämeenaho (shootout game winning goal)
The Good: Managed to steal a point.
The Bad: Where are the Christmas jerseys? They always wear Christmas jerseys. They auctioned off replicas via their app. Are we not doing Christmas jerseys anymore?
Also, Matt Dumba has done nothing to impress me other than taking stupid penalties.
Turning Point: The Hayes goal that got them the point gets it here.
Around the Division: The Charlotte Checkers look like world beaters when they play teams better then they are like the Penguins but when they play last place teams like Springfield they lose 3-1….Providence beats a tough Syracuse team 3-1…Hershey wins 4-1 against Bridgeport. The Leigh Valley / Hartford box is here. It’s not my fault you can’t start on time but I like that you televise all your home games.
Standings: Penguins 42 — Providence 41 – Charlotte 30 – Hershey and Lehigh Valley 29 (add points if LV wins) – Bridgeport 24 – Springfield 23 – Hartford 22 (add if HFD gets a point)
Wheeling Update: Nailers win 3-2 in OT down in Greensboro on a Matty De St. Phalle goal
Video Highlights: I think everything you need to see if shown above.
More Sunday as they close their first three in three weekend against the Hershey Bears at 3.
Comments Off on Technology is a B — Pens WIN 4-2
Posted by nafsnep on December 19, 2025
I came home from shopping around 4 p.m. today to no phone, TV or internet. As a result I wasn’t able to watch any of the 4-2 Wilkes-Barre win in Utica. Thankfully, I had a radio where I could catch Nick Hart’s call.
The Penguins did grit out a 4-2 win. in Utica against the Comets. The two teams will rematch Saturday in Wilkes-Barre.
Phil Tomasino was lost to injury in the first period and didn’t return.
Kyle Criscuolo had a pair of goals, one of them shorthanded. Joona Koppanen also had a pair. Boko Imama had a goal in the third period that game the Penguins their first lead of the game. Tristan Broz had an empty netter that sealed the win.
The win gave the Penguins sole possession of first place in the Atlantic with 41 points and gave them their 20th win of the season. Providence was idle and as I mentioned in the Weekend Preview earlier today, they will have four games in hand after the weekend.
Lineup Notes: Raivis Ansons and William Dufour out for Zach Gallant and Nolan Renick up front. No changes to the defense. Sebastian Aho is week to week with Aaron Huglen and Alex Alexyev is day to day.
A good win and needed after the hellish week that the Penguins endured. I only listened tonight and get the sense that it was a gritty win that the Penguins earned. We will have to see how Utica responds Saturday and the status of Tomasino. Hopefully it isn’t that bad. He did return for a bit after the hit, but perhaps the adrenaline wore off.
Back at it Saturday. Sorry about the striped down version tonight.
Comments Off on Weekend Preview – Running With the Devil…
Posted by nafsnep on December 19, 2025
The Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins hit some turbulence Sunday and Tuesday of this week after two rough losses to the Charlotte Checkers, and now turn their attention to their first three in three weekend of the season beginning with a home and home with the Utica Comets and then a Hershey Bears drop in Sunday afternoon.
Music to Set the Mood…
–
A Quote…
The measure of who we are is how we react if something doesn’t go our way.
— Usain Bolt
The Setup…
First three in three of the season with a trip to Utica, then a home game with the Devils and a Sunday home game against Hershey.
The Penguins blanked the Hartford Wolf Pack 3-0 with a 34 save performance from Sergei Murashov last Wednesday. They had Friday off then took Providence to overtime and a Valtteri Puustinen overtime goal gave the Penguins their first home win over the Bruins since 2019.
Then Charlotte. They laid an egg Sunday and lost 6-2 and on Tuesday were a bit more competitive but lost 2-1 to the Checkers.
The Comets lost to Hartford 2-1 last Friday, Springfield 3-2 Saturday and then beat Rochester 3-2 Wednesday.
Hershey lost 4-1 to Providence last Friday and then shutout the Charlotte Checkers 4-0 on Saturday. The Bears host Bridgeport Saturday and will take on a Penguins team playing its third game in three days Sunday.
Records…
Penguins still lead the Atlantic with a 19-7-1 record and 39 points.
Utica is last in the North with a 6-14-3-1 record and 16 points.
Hershey is 13-10-1 and have 27 points in fifth place in the Atlantic.
The Rest of those Rascals…
The biggest winner this week were the Providence Bruins. The Bruins have two games in hand on the Penguins and are tied in points with Wilkes-Barre with a 19-5-1 record. Providence was off this week and have one game, Saturday against Syracuse, this weekend. They will four games in hand on the Penguins after this weekend.
Charlotte looks like a team on the rise, sweeping the Penguins for a pair this past week. They are third in the division with a 14-8-2 record. You shouldn’t focus so much on the Phantoms and Bears and really should be concerned about the Checkers. The Grand Rapids Griffins are off to the best start in AHL history with just one regulation loss. That loss was dealt to them by the Charlotte Checkers. They are giant killers. They host Springfield Saturday and Sunday.
Lehigh Valley is fourth in the division with a 13-10-1-2 record and 29 points. The Phantoms lost in Syracuse last Friday, won in Rochester Saturday via shootout then lost to last place Springfield on Wednesday. They host Bridgeport and Hartford this weekend.
Hartford is 9-12-4 with 22 points and sixth in the Atlantic. They beat Utica last Friday then got smoked in Syracuse 7-2 last Saturday. They host the Crunch tonight then travel to Allentown Saturday.
Bridgeport is 10-12-1-1 with 22 points and seventh in the Atlantic. They beat Laval clean and then Belleville in overtime last weekend, and then lost 5-0 on Wednesday at home against Syracuse. Go figure. The Islanders are in Allentown tonight and Hershey tomorrow.
Springfield is 8-11-3-2 with 21 points and in last in the Atlantic but with the way they are playing won’t be for long. The Thunderbirds have points in four straight. They will be tested this weekend in Charlotte.
Who’s Up? Who’s Down? Who’s Out?
David Breazeale was up and then back down to Wheeling without appearing in a game.
Matt Dumba cleared waivers and played his first AHL game in over a decade on Tuesday.
Sam Poulin was traded to Edmonton with Tristan Jarry.
Aaron Huglen is week to week with an upper body injury.
Sebastian Aho and Alex Alexeyev are also injured, but with Breazeale going back down maybe one of them are back this weekend.
I think that is everything.
What can we learn about the Penguins this week?
I mean they should get a start out of Sergei Murashov this weekend and would likely win that game. How much do they have left in the tank Sunday at home against Hershey playing their third game in a row when the Bears were home all weekend and just had Bridgeport in Saturday.
It would behoove them to win these games because Providence will have four games in hand and Charlotte is on the come.
Also, Alexeyev and Aho aren’t really the straws that stir the drink defensively, are they? Let’s hope we don’t have to answer this question and they are back this weekend at some point.
Who’s in Goal?
I’d like to see Filip Larsson get back in there against Utica and have them use all three goaltenders this weekend but that isn’t how it always works. Murashov – Blomqvist – Murashov would be the safe bet.
Nico Daws and Jakub Málek will see work for the Comets this weekend against the Penguins and then probably Mitch Gibson for the Bears Sunday.
Who’s Running the Show?
Jordan Deckard and Jared Cummins will adjudicate in Utica with T.J. Dockery and Jason Brown on the lines.
Deckard will drive I-90 West, then merge onto I-81 South in Syracuse, blitzkrieg past the home of the Crunch, blow past Binghamton and will meet up with Chad Ingalls on Saturday to work the rematch with Jud Ritter and John Rey on the lines.
New refs on Sunday. Ben Betker and Koletrane Wilson will work the matinee with the Bears with Dylan Blujus and J.P. Waleski on the lines.
Looking Ahead…
Merry Christmas. Saturday at home against the Bears on December 27 and then another Sunday game (this time on the road) against the Phantoms and then another Tuesday home game against the Charlotte Checkers.
Next week’s Weekend Preview will include that Tuesday game against Charlotte.
Give us a bold prediction…
They will win all three games with a power play goal in each and Sergei Murashov gets named AHL Player of the Week with only one game allowed on 60+ shots.
Comments Off on Joel Blomqvist Should Pitch For The Mets — Pens LOSE 2-1
Posted by nafsnep on December 16, 2025
vs.
2 1
–
The New York Mets are my favorite baseball team.
They are very bad.
One of the reasons they are very bad is because they get great pitching, but since the pitchers can only pitch (they got rid of the designated hitter a few years ago) all they can do is watch when their lifeless offense loses game after game for them by scores of 2-0, 1-0, 3-2, 4-1, 3-1, and so on.
Tonight, it was a 2-1 setback for the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins AHL hockey team and Joel Blomqvist was on the hill (or in the net) for the Penguins.
He played tremendous, stopping 29 shots, some of them of the high difficulty range, but he can only stop the pucks and can’t generate offense.
Tonight, he could have been on the hill in Queens and I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. Well, maybe, it’s a high probability I was in my pool that afternoon. My pool is a girl ice cube now in this forever Winter that we are in..
Checks calendar…Winter doesn’t start till Sunday you say?!? Bollocks!
Lineup Notes: Raivis Ansons for Nolan Renwick up front, Matt Dumba playing in his first AHL game in 10 years for Scooter Brickey on defense. Add Sebastian Aho to the injured list.
First Period: Penguins had a golden opportunity with :38 of a two man advantage but failed to score.
Late, Kai Schwindt takes a pass from teammate Hunter St. Martin and scores to put the Checkers up 1-0 with under two minutes to play.
You’re thinking, like I was at the time, “Oh Schwindt, here we go again.”
(sorry, had to)
Second Period: Two things of substance occurred here. First, a routine puck gets back to Joel Blomqvist. Matt Dumba tracks it back and Blomqvist comes out to play it. Dumba zigs instead of zags and it ends up on the tape of Nolan Foote who scores into an empty net, essentially.
Then, the Penguins had 1:35 of two man advantage and after a time out, failed to score.
Third Period: Joel Blomqvist bails his team out by pitching a ground ball in a bases loaded situation and turns a double play. No, sorry, he stops a Ben Steeves penalty shot with 11 minutes to play in the period with the Mets Penguins still chasing two runs goals. Finally Phil Tomasino takes a spin-o-rama pass from Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and scores to get the Penguins on the board.
But that was all the offense they could muster. With Blomqvist pulled for the extra attacker, they did not find the equalizer, nor do I think they registered a shot on goal.
Three Stars: 3) Phil Tomasino (goal) 2) Kai Schwindt (goal) 1) Nolan Foote (goal)
I am sorry, but Joel Blomqvist deserved a star.
The Good: Joel Blomqvist. He kept them in it and gave his team a chance to win.
The Bad: They did not win and now Providence has two games in hand on the Penguins.
Turning Point: Look to the over two minutes of five-on-three advantage that the Penguins had and failed to score on.
Around the Division: They all watched us.
Standings: Penguins and Bruins 39 – Charlotte 30 — Lehigh Valley 29 – Herhsey 27 – Hartford and Bridgeport 22 – Springfield 19
Wheeling Update: Nailers were off.
Video Highlights: Trust me, what you needed to see is highlighted above.
Regroup, get ready for the first three in three weekend with a home and home against Utica starting Friday in Utica and then aa home Sunday game against Hershey. Weekend Preview sets it all up for you Friday morning around lunchtime.
So the Charlotte Checkers lost 4-0 to the Hershey Bears Saturday night and the Hershey Bears lost twice to the Providence Bruins Wednesday and Friday and the Penguins beat the Bruins in overtime on Saturday.
Looking at all of that, you would think that the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins would cream a Charlotte Checkers team that came into Sunday afternoon in fifth place in the Atlantic Division and 13 points behind the Penguins.
Wrong.
A 6-2 Charlotte thrashing of the Penguins who were out of it from the drop and thanks to Filip Larsson, would have probably lost by ten or more.
Wait, what? Larsson was the one giving up all those goals you big bald oaf! Technically, yes, but you are wrong if you blame him for the loss. Did he let the Checkers get 37 shots off? No. That’s the defenseman’s job. Did he take four penalties? No, but the Checkers did score two power play goals.
You could have put Marty Brodeur in net for the Penguins today, with the way that they played as a unit, they were not winning the game.
So the moral of the story? There are no scheduled wins in the AHL.
Charlotte is a good team. They are structured, but the standings place shows otherwise. There is a team in Grand Rapids, Michigan that have a 22-1-0-1 record. That one regulation loss? It was the Checkers that beat them. Maybe it’s a style thing, where they play better against better competition. Don’t get me wrong, the Penguins are a great team, but they are prone to clunkers. Hershey two weeks ago. Charlotte Sunday. When they are bad, they are bad.
Anyway, let’s move this along. Here’s how they lined up:
Lineup Notes: Raivis Ansons and Zach Gallant out for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Nolan Renwick. I’m glad that whatever it was that kept Harvey-Pinard out Saturday was minor. On defense, Scooter Brickey replaced Sebastian Aho. Coal Street recalled recalled David Breazeale from Wheeling earlier in the day. Matt Dumba should debut for the Penguins on Tuesday.
First Period: You could feel it. They were being outshot 7-2 and Larsson was holding the fort. Then they get a goal from William Dufour and you think that they can just turn it on and turn it off like truly elite teams do.
Jack Devine and Robert Mastrosimone scored power play goals. Devine’s goal came on a five on three and Mastrosimone’s came off of a bonehead Penguins too many men penalty.
Phil Tomasino tips in a Chase Pietila shot to bring the Penguins back within two and you think that we aren’t going to take it anymore and the epic come back is on, right?
Third Period: Ryan McAllister scores :47 in and that buried the Penguins for good. Think Carol putting pavers over Helen’s grave in Pluribus buried.
(Charlotte didn’t GIF up the third period goals)
Wilmer Skoog scored the sixth goal to pile on.
With the Penguins net empty Owen Pickering takes a tripping penalty which just turned a bad game worse fro the defensive corps. Particularly, I thought Pickering was bad. This guy is an NHL defender? I ain’t seeing it and haven’t been seeing it for a while.
Three Stars: 3) Trevor Carrick (two assists) 2) Jack Devine (goal, assist) 1) Robert Mastrosimone (goal)
The Good: I turned 47 today and don’t feel old. I have a VO2 Max in the low 50s per my Apple Watch and as long as that stays higher than my age, I will take it.
The Bad: My favorite professional sports team let me down on my big day in a big way.
Turning Point: Pick one. The. back to back power play goals or the Skoog goal :47 into the third.
