Apparently they have a new goalie sent to them from the National Hockey League. I wonder if he's any good.

Here's a decent update on the state of AHL western expansion

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/hockeyozone/2015/01/12/ahl-schedule-will-shrink/21650405/

Basically says the Avs have a year left on their agreement with Lake Erie and would look for other options after that.

Supposedly a big announcement about San Diego hockey is coming this month.

I think that pretty much answers it. The Avs will be in Cleveland next year, and will try to put their team in the west in 16-17.

I believe the AHL meetings are January 25th, so I'd expect it around then. Way too much smoke around San Diego for it not to happen IMO.

Thanks for sharing that link - seems to be the most definitive and authoritative one to date. It all seems to make a lot of sense, as well. Columbus re-upped with Springfield through next season, so their affiliation will be ending just as Colorado's is with Lake Erie. Maybe Colorado purchases Springfield? The biggest obstacle to that scenario, I would think, is that Springfield is a charter city in the AHL and the home of the league's offices. That's a lot of history there.

 

[tigervixxxen]

That's exactly what I think. Either way they have to purchase some AHL team first

I think it'd be good to give San Diego another shot at pro hockey. The hockey landscape has really changed since the Gulls folded.

God knows they need a sports team worth cheering for around here.

Put it in Colorado Springs.

Roman Will has been pretty much a dumpster fire for Lake Erie but he goes to Ft Wayne and wins goalie of the week. I'm happy the guy is finding some success because he does have talent.

Anyone know how Noreau has been playing this year? I thought he was an interesting signing when we grabbed him and probably a borderline player between the clubs. Has he shown anything that would make him a strong canditate for a call up?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Noreau has been solid, one of the team leaders in points and wears an A now. If they needed a RD I'm sure he would be called up, that's probably the key reason why he hasn't is just there hasn't been a need.

I haven't seen him play, but the problem for him is the log jam on the right side. EJ, Barrie, Redmond, Stuart, maybe even Elliott gets called up before him.

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear hes doing well

 

[Nzap]

Why did I always think Noreau was LD?

 

[Freudian]

I'm calling it. Berra with the non-shutout tonight!

 

[tigervixxxen]

I'm not expecting much tonight but would be nice if they could beat the worst team in the AHL this weekend.

 

[Freudian]

Wolves have four members of the 2010 Chicago Stanley Cup winning team (Burish, Eager, Sopel and Fraser). I guess that's because of marketing reasons.

 

[TheStranger]

elliott with two goals in a minute?

 

[Iracundia]

Berra scores his first. Time to call him up.

 

[JWK]

What what what what WHAT?

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Hahahah awesome.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I think Berra added a fight as well

 

[Avs_19]

Nice. Good for him.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

And Bourke scores to rub in the pain
