I joked after the game that the Sound Tigers lockerroom should be called the M*A*S*H unit. Along with Brandon Nolan, Jeremy Colliton, Blake Comeau, and Jamie Frasier; here’s what happened today…
~Drew Fata hurt his ankle but continued to play through it. He looked to be having a tough time turning on it in the first period but looked better there on in.
~Jamie Johnson took a high stick to the face late in the third period, no penalty was called, but Johnson was fine.
~Mark Wotton seemed to hurt his wrist right after Johnson got hit in the face. Wotton left for the bench, but seemed fine in the lockerroom.
~Masi Marjamaki blocked a shot on his knee and had to wobble to the bench just two minutes after Wotton got nailed. No word on his condition..
~After undergoing a series of x-rays, Petteri Nokelainen was diagnosed with a broken index finger and will miss around 4-6 weeks.
~Allan Rourke was walking around the lockerroom after the game after taking a slash on the foot Saturday night and hopes to play Wednesday in Albany. He’s listed as day-to-day.
Last thing they need is Jamie Farr running around in a dress! (Hey! I may be 23 years old but I can still make classic TV references!)
Albany continues to keep pace with the Sound Tigers after scoring five in the second period, beating Syracuse 5-2. The Sound Tigers still hold the one point lead on Albany heading into a big 4-point game on Wednesday between both teams. Here’s the playoff picture as it looks now:
| East Division | GP | W | L | OTL | SOL | PTS | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norfolk Admirals | 67 | 44 | 17 | 5 | 1 | 94 | |||||||
| Hershey Bears | 64 | 39 | 14 | 6 | 5 | 89 | |||||||
| Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins | 63 | 40 | 17 | 2 | 4 | 86 | |||||||
| Bridgeport Sound Tigers | 62 | 30 | 26 | 1 | 5 | 66 | |||||||
| Albany River Rats | 63 | 30 | 28 | 3 | 2 | 65 | |||||||
| Philadelphia Phantoms | 64 | 25 | 31 | 2 | 6 | 58 | |||||||
| Binghamton Senators | 63 | 17 | 38 | 3 | 5 | 42 |

Things didn’t seem to get better for the Phantoms Boyd Kane. First, Jamie Koharski slaps him with a 10-minute and a game misconduct on Saturday, and tonight gets the same from Terry Koharski. To think, he got off light today and scored the game-tying goal for Philly.
Finally, I’d like to express my sincerest thanks to Patrick Williams for plugging this blog on probably what is the best AHL blog on the net today. It’s great to see that even in its infancy this blog is getting noticed and I have to thank those who read this. I suggest you to go visit Patrick Williams blog on SLAM! Sports - There isn’t a better one out there and you won’t be disappointed. I’ll make sure to add it on the links sidebar as well.
That’s all for now…
