I went to a pair of Adirondack (AHL) games and listened to two others on the radio over break and thought I'd share my observations on some current AHL ex-collegians, in case anyone might be interested. Just for background, the Wings and the Portland Pirates tied on Wednesday at 2. On Friday, also at home, Adirondack edged the Cornwall Aces, 6-5 in a penalty filled game. In another slugfest on Saturday, the Albany Riverrats downed Adirondack, 6-3. In Sunday's finale, Adirondack again toppled Cornwall. ADIRONDACK PLAYERS BRETT HARKINS (Bowling Green) struggled a bit, despite finishing the sesaon as the wings top rookie scorer. He was playing the point on the power play and had all kinds of problems keeping the puck in. I don't think he shot it once (while on the PP). MIKE CASSELMAN (Clarkson) has improved significantly from last year. He is much much more aggressive, especially in the corners and is an effective forechecker. He's looked really good on the line with JOE FREDERICK (Northern Michigan). On Friday, Frederick got his first pro hat trick. To show his versatility, he took a number of shifts on Sat and Sun on defense, due to a player shortage. AARON WARD (Michigan) is still adapting to the pro game (and life, but that's another discussion). He has, at times, showed flahses of offensive brilliance but is still learning when and when not to rush. Is showing fairly good defensive skills. OTHERS Albany's DAVID EMMA (BC) was not much of a factor in Saturday's game. I heard he was having problems adapting to the more phsycial defensive style of the postseason which teams started to go to late in the reg. season. Teammate SCOTT PELLERIN (Maine) looked pretty good on Saturday and got the nail in the coffin goal on a breakaway. Cornwall backliner ED WARD (N Michigan) apparently played very well on Sunday, but was not much of a factor on Wednesday. Aces goalie GARTH SNOW (Maine) did not look spectacular either night. Most of the goals on Wednesday were not his fault (3 of the 5 were PPG's) but he did not look that sharp either. He was replaced by PAUL KRAKE (AK-Anchorage) on Wednesday, who looked much better. He made several big saves keeping Cornwall in teh game. It was a surprising off night for Snow who had played in most of the Aces recent games. Just thought someone might be curious... *************************************************************************** Bri Farenell Clarkson '95 [log in to unmask] Glens Falls High '91 AHL and NCAA contact for rec.sport.hockey Go Erin Whitten (GFH '89)!
