Manitoba vs Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Game Thread

First one of the year. I feel the better of the two penguin teams will beat Manitoba with solid goaltending.

There's a more detailed, albeit biased, pre game write-up and thread here:

Kudos go to MKN for his time and effort.

Yeah I'm looking forward to this one, I have Kesler and Koltsov on my keeper league team.....

Not this weekend but the next I'll get to see Milwaukee at Chicago :)

Good thing the AHL is here to get me threw this DAMN LOCKOUT!

Guess we can do the chat in here, doesn't matter to me. We'll jusr relocate the talk for Pens fans later, I guess.

I didn't think anyone other than fans of the two teams would be listening, but now I remember this is the first hockey for a while.

I have links to the internet broadcasts in that thread, if anyone wants to listen. Unless you are a Penguin fan, I'd reccomend listening to the Moose broadcast... Tom Grace is really a homer for the Pens. It doesn't bother me really, but I know it does bother some other Pens fans, and a non-biased person probably wouldn't like it. But, I'm uber-biased. :D

Also, Grace really oversimplifies a lot of things because a lot of listeners in WBS (though most certainly not posters here) are relatively new to hockey and don't know much about it. It gets tiring as a die-hard fan, but new fans need to learn somehow.

New rules for this AHL season, I'm sure you've seen them, but here they are:

# Employing a shootout to decide regular-season games which are tied after overtime
# Permission of “tagging up” to negate off-side plays
# Implementation of “no-touch” icing
# Widening the blue lines and center red line to 24 inches (from 12 inches)
# Moving the goal line back to 11 feet from the end boards (from 13 feet)
# A seven-week test, ending Nov. 28, restricting the areas where goaltenders may play the puck in an attempt to increase offensive opportunities without wholly eliminating a goaltender’s ability to assist his defensemen.

Final score 6-3 for the Moose.
2 goals for Abid
2 goals for King
2 goals for Roy

I thought Flaherty, King, and Shultz played very well for the Moose. Kesler has a goal and played a solid game as well.
