Sherwood and Cracknell also had 3 points a piece.

When it comes to the discussion of who might play for the Ducks next season, I don't think we should sleep on De Leo anymore. Also had 20 goals and 55 points in 66 regular season games, only 23 years old.

I was a bit surprised we didn't give him too many games this year, he was always one of the better players on SD whenever I watched them. I don't think he has the skill to be a top 6 winger, but I think he has the potential to be a useful bottom 6 piece in the NHL.

Not only did Tampa Bay have the best NHL record, but their AHL affiliate (Syracuse) had the 2nd best record in the AHL. And of course, Syracuse was matched up with Columbus' affiliate (Cleveland) in the first round. And of course, Cleveland won the series in 4 games, not unlike the result of the series between their parent clubs.

It's official, we are playing Bakersfield in round 2. I think they are the best team in the AHL along with Charlotte, so this will be a pretty tough series, especially without Terry, Guhle, Roy, and potentially Jones.

EDIT: Just realized this means Eakins will be facing Edmonton's affiliate. Really hope they can win it for him.

Drummondville got eliminated from the QMJHL playoffs, meaning that Comtois should now be available for the Gulls...

The Gulls had a 6-3-0-1 record head-to-head against Bako in the regular season this year, and I believe I saw that made them the only Pacific Division team with a winning head-to-head record against the division winners. Nice to see a conventional 2-2-1-1-1 format in the schedule. I'm not likely to make any of the Bakersfield games, but if any of you haven't gone to a game in Bako, the arena is worth a look at a trip. It's definitely minor-league sized (I think a tiny bit smaller than Ontario's arena), about 20 years old, but I remember thinking the sightlines were well laid out for hockey. I haven't been up there in the AHL period - my last trip was likely the WCHL days (though maybe I caught an ECHL game up there at some point).

I'm hoping the long layoff doesn't have the Gulls coming out slow -- having days to recover is good, but it can lead to a blunting of the mental edge. Eakins will have to find the way to keep that from seeping in, or else Game 1 of the second round could start the same way Game 1 of the first round did... but likely not with the same battle-back outcome.

EDIT: Also, for those wondering about Terry, I believe it will have been about 6 weeks since his surgery this weekend. So it's highly unlikely he plays against Bakersfield, but I suppose there is a small chance he could play in the 3rd round if we make it that far.
