This is the 26th game of the year for the Flames, the 22nd game of the year for the Rivermen, and AHL game #352 on the season. This is the fifth meeting of the year between Quad City and Peoria. Quad City won their first game against the Rivermen last night. Peoria is the AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues.

Scouting Quad City:
Record: 11-11-1-2, fifth place in the Western division
Leading scorers: Points - Grant Stevenson: 9-11-20. PIM - Brandon Prust: 75. Goaltending - Brent Krahn, GAA: 2.15, Save%: .923
Last time out: Quad City made a great come back from down 2-0 to the Rivermen last night. Krys Kolanos scored the tying goal with 18 seconds left, then QC killed off a 5 on 3 powerplay in overtime to get the game to a shootout, which they won.
Around the corner: Quad City flies down to Texas to play the San Antonio Rampage on Wednesday and Friday, then fly back to Illinois to play the Icehogs of Rockford on Saturday.
Notable roster news: Goaltender Brian Hamilton was released from his PTO contract today, as Kevin Lalande was called up from ECHL Las Vegas. Dustin Boyd, Eric Nystrom, and Curtis McElhinney remain on call-up with Calgary. Gerry Burke remains called up to QC.

Scouting Peoria:
Record: 9-7-2-3, last place in the Western division
Leading scorers: Points - Charles Linglet: 6-13-19. PIM - Hans Benson: 61. Goaltending - Chris Beckford-Tseu, GAA: 2.77, Save%: .901
Last time out: See above
Notable roster news: No roster moves since yesterday.

Random fact associated with today's game: The voices of the Peoria Rivermen may be familiar to Quad City hockey fans. Both play by play man Tom Callahan and color guy Dave Rak were, at one time, calling games in the old United Hockey League, for the Elmira Jackals and Missouri River Otters respectfully. Also, as last night's broadcast informed those of us that are listening, Mr. Callahan has a recipe for a great garlic chutney chili.(How's that for random?) There will also be a good contingent of Flames fans down in Peoria tonight.

Stevenson has really turned it on since Kolanos signed. I wonder if he'll get a call up at some point.

We should give Kolanos and Stevenson a call-up at some point to give them a taste, send Boyd back to shore up QC.

Can we call up Kolanos I thought he was just signed by QC to play in the AHL and not actually Calgary property??

Based on Kolanos' history, he needs a little while down there. If he is still playing like this, and doing the right things, in February and we have a need it might be worth it to have a look up with the Flames.

Stevenson should get a look-see at some point though.

I guess the one ref is a rookie and may be in over his head trying to ref an AHL game. He also reffed the game from the night before, so tempers were already high coming into this game.

According to the Peoria radio guy, this ref was officiating bantam league games in Texas three weeks ago.

Kolanos isn't signed to a major contract. And Boyd has played quite well in his time with the Flames. No way would I send him back down right now. I'd rather Stevenson take Smith's place in the Flames line-up.

He reffed a CHL game last week where there were 239 PIMs and three guys suspended.

He was brutal, but at least he was brutal both ways! Peoria just isn't penalized much and they went downright ballistic last night at all of the calls and non-calls. We were laughing at them, which probably didn't help, either.... :D

Kolanos hit a guy on Friday night and he slid feet-first into the boards and sprained his ankle. That was somehow Kolanos' fault and the Peoria coach said he should have been tossed on Friday. The Rivermen played a lot of retaliation last night, which doesn't work well when you should be scoring!!
