Yep their season is over. Cal Petersen beat the baby pens.

When you don't have a JD Forrest, you're looking for a JD Forrest.

The broadcast mentioned that Torts was in the building tonight on the Flyers behalf.

Watching the 3rd period and OT, I'd swear Mike Sullivan was not only in the building but behind the Baby Pens' bench.

Someone on this board brought this up last week, The Wheeling Nailers are playing their game #5 playoff game at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry on Saturday evening. Wheeling is up three games to one against the Indy Fuel.

Thank god they didn’t get any NHL games over Harkins or Bemstrom

Poulin and Koivunen were good in both games which is encouraging. Broz looked decent. Poulin was good in the POs a couple years ago too.

Blomqvist.. be nice to see him duplicate this season plus have a deeper run before we give him an NHL spot. No rush on him.

I thought Forrest overall did a decent job this year but maybe look at someone like Sonne from Saskatoon or Ahokas from Kitchener as the next head coach. It’s a good spot for jumping to an NHL career and should have plenty of applicants.

The forward group next year is pretty much set with all the prospects we brought in plus Koppanen and Johnstone returning. Pretty sure Houde and Joshua are signed to AHL deals too. I’d re-sign Gruden and Andonovski. Maybe room for one more like, journeyman, emergency call-up type forward.

D is pretty empty so far with Pickering coming in, St. Ivany likely to be in the NHL and everyone else being a UFA. Assume Ouellet moves on and Fedun retires. I’d re-sign Samorukov and Rathbone for depth.

Blomqvist can carry the reigns full-time.

How did our hero Koivunen look? Didn't even know he was here in NA. I was focused on the NFL draft, tell me? But understand he's only 20 and had a long flight?
