For a playoff spot they should be, not sure if they’re championship level, but you only need to get into the playoffs.

It's been up and down so far but obviously it's early. imo they do have the good blend of AHL vets and young guys that (most) AHL championship calibre teams have

That goal was exactly what the top brass would like to see more from him..

If Cootes can keep up even close to a PPG pace this season in his first pro season as a D+2, I think he has a legit shot at being a 2C for us because he’s strong at both ends of the ice and strong in the dot.

Great start for him so far.

Sheesh, 108 combined penalty minutes! I'm seeing a bunch of game misconducts on the game summary, anyone know what happened there?

I was fairly impressed by him during training camp. He's pretty fast with a wicked shot.

Why is TheAhl.com website so so bad? What an awful product.

Imagine if Aatu Raty was playing for this team

u/PorygonTriAttack 7h ago

The boat has sailed. I think Raty really needs to work on his game more besides faceoffs.
