Win their first preseason Game 3 0 over Iowa in North Dakota. De Leo with 2 assists and Comrie with the shut out.

Side note : looks like the numbers on the jersey are similar to the old ones with the moose antlers

I think Petan will definitely get another look before the end of the season. It's one thing to improve on the farm and another to play with the big team. VERY interested to see what he looks like again.

I'm not sure Petan will but I'd bet De Leo does for sure. De Leo before Petan. Keep in mind, Petan is playing as a center right now so for him to be called up a center would more than likely need to get injured. 

Helle gets a shutout....

Helle gets another shutout 3-0.

Let's hope Pav don't get really sick.

The disaster that was the 2015-16 season of the Moose is over.

14 15 1 since February. That was their record. Anyone expecting any different don't get it. "It all starts here". 

Toronto has the best AHL team and the worse NHL team. Do minor league teams mean that much?

That's very impressive!

Manitoba with a  crap team out-draws the Marlies, with a better team and a much bigger drawing radius.  Well done Winnipeg!

When I look at the chart I wonder why San Diego not on the expansion list ahead of LV.

did they apply?

Not with Anaheim owning the team.

oh

 

Making room for Dale?

NO. Hawerchuk signed a 3 year extension with Barrie like 2 weeks ago. 

 

Probably Mike Yeo, he was apparently sighted at the WPG Airport not long ago. 

This isn't that surprising to me, I think the writing was on the wall a while ago if you followed things, Jets and Moose actually played 2 different systems and they probably want a coach who will play a similar or the exact same system that the JETS will play.

I wouldn't mind Yeo.  Lots of experience.  And apparently his area of expertise as an assistant was special teams.

If Yeo can't find work in the NHL as a head coach his best option might be to coach the Moose and help them become a winning team, team has a  lot of prospects and he is a very good teacher of the game.

I'm sure Hawerchuk has a clause in his contract to allow him an out if a certain position were available to him.......

Send Vincent to the Moose and replace him with Yeo...

Ha! Was literally just thinking this... Not sure if feasible, but it would make sense.

Vincent was a head coach in Jr I believe?

I believe it was Lawless, could be wrong, who said he thought if Dale left Barrie it would be for an NHL job, not an AHL one.

I honestly think our special teams will be vastly improved next year with different personnel on them. They were headed in the right direction towards the end of the year. I'd like to see what Armia, Copp, and maybe even Ehlers can do on the PK after being on it for 3 or 4 months.

 

I don't think Hawerchuk comes here for anything less than an assistant coach. Why would he. His home is where he is now and he isn't hurting for money. He's always said he wouldn't think about coaching in the NHL until his kids were grown. It sure would put a little bit of pressure on Maurice wouldn't it? Nothing wrong with a little pressure if applied properly.

Dale said he was pretty happy there so can't see him coming up here. Claude Noel's available.
