While listening to a Rochester Americans-Binghampton Rangers AHL
playoff game over the weekend, I heard a few familiar names:
Bingo has:
Jean Yves-Roy - leading scorer on the team
The Ferraro Bros who joined the team a couple of weeks ago
Jamie Ram, who is now their #1 guy in net after Corey Hirsch got
traded. He's playing well
Rochester has:
Todd Copeland - best stay-at-home defenseman on the team
Steve Shields - #3 goalie right now - hasn't dressed for the playoffs
Hershey has:
Jim Montgomery - scored 2 goals Friday night
Prince Edward Island (PEI) has:
Jason Zent - also had a goal on Friday
I think Garth Snow is also playing for Cornwall.
Just how many former Maine players are in the AHL anyway? Dunham was
also there, but I think he got called up recently.
And BTW, I don't think Holzinger has dressed for a Sabres game yet.
Folks in Buffalo are excited, but the media is cautioning about the
"Hobey Jinx". I hope for his sake that expectations are reasonable.
