Thanks.

I didn't realize Sportsnet was showing this. Actually, it looks like it's on SN360, but at least it's somewhere.

[Drury18]

I've got Telus TV and it's showing as Sportsnet 360.

(Non AHL related but WWE NXT is on before it starts)

When did Daniel Bryan grow out long hair and become so big? He was always a shave cut, skinny little guy. Granted I'm talking like circa 2004 ROH and he was Bryan Danielson and he finished with Cattle Mutilation but still, I didn't think he could get this size.

[Drury18]

Mascots from around the AHL welcoming fans into the arena.

I do not see any memorials to Scorch.

[Drury18]

Format for the Skills Comp is East vs West, much like the NHL.

[Drury18]

The guys from the Crunch were booed louder then the Flames by the crowd.

I didn't realize Utica hated Syracuse so much.

[Drury18]

That Houdon kid is FAST. He made up a good few seconds on that puck control relay to make that finish interesting in the first race.

Matt Dumba also a very quick skater. Especially as a Defenceman. Putting the West ahead in Race #2.

Ness and Varone with almost a mirror image of each other on the puck relay. Ness pulled it out at the end with the longer stick.

Ness and varone were very close. Announced said he had a longer reach.

[davidbjordan]

Come on poirier! Man Colin miller did not look fast there

[Drury18]

[davidbjordan]

I think treliving was pretty accurate when he called poirier somewhat ugly but explosive

Poirier finished with the 2nd fastest time!
