Checkers III: The Age of Ulf

[A Star is Burns]

GOAT.

He did have a goal and an assist tonight, but I'm not sure why you'd bring him into the conversation.

Expelled from league

 

[A Star is Burns]

They're mutants

 

[HisIceness]

Expelled from league

Damn shame

 

[Breakdowns]

Damn shame

At least they did something memorable

 

[HisIceness]

Better than spinning mediocre wheels in the mud, so yeah.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Greg McKegg.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

Surprised there is no rule against Fleury being assigned to Charlotte for the playoffs. He spent most of the season in Carolina.

You'd think they would have at least splurged to have someone Photoshop some Checkers/Canes colors on McKegg given his point streak and frequent appearance in the "three stars" lists. This organization will forever be cheap...

Only guessing but it may be a factor that's he's still on ELC so on a legit two-way contract.

edit: or, what they say:

One thing that is sometimes lost in the shuffle on trade deadline day is a huge number of paper transactions made by each team around the league. Young players that are currently with the NHL club and waiver-exempt, are sent down to the minor leagues for just one day to make them eligible for the AHL playoffs. Though the NHL rosters are expanded on trade deadline day, teams are still left with just four non-emergency recalls for the rest of the season, several of which are used by these eligibility paper transactions.
Below is a list of all the eligibility transactions—meaning they were sent down and quickly recalled—that took place yesterday:

AHL Playoff Eligibility Transactions


Canes got only Haydn.

Isles got their Sebastian Aho.

Gregg McKegg is a hilarious name and I'm just glad to know it exists

Any good places to find highlights of last nights game?

Looks like Kuokks was pretty clutch eh?

 

[HisIceness]

Unfortunately the Checkers don't seem to upload many game highlight videos anymore. The Hershey Bears do a better job at it but usually only when they win. Don't see anything right now on eithers YT channel or elsewhere.

[Canes]

Jamie Benn played all 82 games for the Dallas Stars as a rookie in the 2009-2010 season and even scored at a .5 PPG pace and was allowed to be assigned to the Texas Stars for their playoff run that season despite not having played a single regular season game for them.

 

[HisIceness]

The boys be rollin' into the playoffs hot like fire. This is probably the most talented team the Hurricanes have had in the AHL since the move from Hartford, it's definitely the most talented in recent memory.

Wth would you do with a dog at a game? Like where would they even sit?

So many questions.

 

[HisIceness]

I've been a few times, the team has been doing a "pooch party" game since they upgraded to the AHL. They either sit in the empty seat next to their owner or they sit in the owners lap. They're usually pretty quiet. I've only heard a few barks the times I went.
