Hartford also loaned [...]

September 27, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Wolf Pack were defeated by the Worcester Sharks 10-3 this afternoon in one of the most sorrowful displays of ice hockey that I have ever seen from the team. For a few players it was their third game in less than three days, which can excuse some poor play, but it was not even [...]

September 26, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff There was little surprise in those players that were either reassigned or released today. Mike Berube, Jean-Philip Chabot, Luke Lucyk, and Tysen Dowzak were assigned to Charlotte; Dan LaCouture was released from his PTO; and Tomas Kundratek was reassigned to Medicine Hat (for the second time). When I spoke to Kundratek last night, he thought [...]

September 24, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff It was Brandon Dubinsky’s pre-season debut, and he certainly showed why Glen Sather was wise to pony up more money to sign Dubi earlier this week. Playing in all situations, Dubinsky looked very comfortable even though he missed more than the first week of camp. Tonight, Dubi and his teammates were able to come away [...]

September 23, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff The reassignment of PA Parenteau back to Hartford yesterday made me think again about why it is that so many highly successful AHL forwards fail to become skill players in the NHL. Really curious, I went back to check on who were and what happened to the top players in the AHL during the mid-2000s. [...]

September 22, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Marian Gaborik was dynamic in his first appearance as a New York Ranger last night. In a first period power play skate and pass, the speedy winger showed that his groiner was not serious, and that he can be as much a playmaker as a scorer. The Rangers defeated Detroit 4-2, in a game where [...]

September 20, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff After yesterday afternoon’s game in Boston, five more players were reassigned, including two defensemen Ilkka Heikkinen and Corey Potter, who were originally thought to be top candidates to make the squad.

September 17, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff About two hours ago, the Rangers announced their first round of cuts. Scott Stajcer, Tomas Kundratek, Ryan Bourque, Roman Horak, and Ethan Werek were all sent back to their junior teams. The only one of those players who could have possibly have been kept any longer was Kundratek, but he just was not ready for [...]
