Hayton scores his 3rd of the season, but Tucson gets off 53 shots, but can only 2 by Miska. Soderstrom had the 1st goal his 2nd of the season.

Tucson loses 4-2 with empty netter

Watched the first two periods. Need a sniper on that squad. Hayton’s zone entries were very good. He’s carrying puck more. Progress.

Anyone have highlights of these goals?

Misleading tweet. The playoff plans are there are no plans...it ain't happening. Don't believe the official excuse. The real reason the AHL playoffs are cancelled is because there's not much money in it. If there was, they'd figure out a way to make it happen.

Kinda...idk if you read the article or not, but they are leaving it up to the divisions to determine a champion. The west is the only division doing anything. The others are not.

Loved him with Brandon in the whl bubble in Regina. He’s going to be a player.

I'm moving back home to Tucson next year, are the Roadrunner games worth attending? Do they get decent draws or is hockey dead in The Old Pueblo?

Edit: I'm excited to see some games, I hope that didn't come off as bad as it sounded to me on a re-read.

My info is anecdotal but I hear Tucson has really embraced the 'Runners. Whether the games are gonna be worth it depends on what the Coyotes do in the offseason, though.

I saw a game each of their first 3 years and it was worth the 90 mile drive.

I'm an Avalanche fan, so I don't depend on the outcome or quality of the Coyotes farm system but I would like to watch some hockey at home! That being said, I would prefer the Roadrunners to do well and stay in Tucson. Thanks for the info!

Jenik's amazing season in ohl and then in ahl was not just a coincidence. He is f***ing legit.

Jenik has 4 goals, 6 points in his last 4.

McCartney has 5 points in his first four games.

Hayton has been better as well. Those first 8 games really did a number on him until he scored. Jenik went over a month without a point too, so it's not unique to Barrett.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Jenik has been on fire the last several games, has a goal today in their “playoff” game.

I’m expecting him to be a huge piece of Tucson’s offense next season for at least half the season.

But could make the big club out of camp.

That's what I'm hoping for, but if Armstrong wants to see him cook in Tucson for another year so be it.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Roadrunners lose 2-1 and are now out of the AHL playoffs.

If Varady is not in the running for Yotes HC, I'd like to see him back in Tucson.

From Craig's latest:

"I have heard the idea floated that assistant coach Jay Varady, who was elevated this season, could return to Tucson in a dual post as the team’s coach and GM."

He coached a USHL team for 4 years while also being director of hockey ops, so it's not that unusual. It's odd that Bill "war room of voices" Armstrong isn't saving that responsibility for an AGM.
