The Aeros are ... inconsistent... but finding themselves little by little. Kolanos and Corey Locke have been a refreshing change of pace. Guys who can score seemingly at will... we're not used to that after last season where we had to cling to every one-goal lead like grim death and sacrifice virgins for consistently fantastic goaltending.
But we have 15 3-in-3s this season, none of which are completely at home. Way more than any other team, so they'll need to take advantage of teams facing travel fatigue like this since it's usually the other way around.

Kolanos didn't have many fans in the QC last year - he wasn't fond of playing defense and many thought he played lazy at times. I've no idea how his team-mates felt about him, though. I'm glad he's getting a shot with the Wild. Regardless of what most fans thought about him, he was still a very good player for QC last year. I hope that the game on Thursday is exciting, actually plan on getting that one on AHL Live On Demand.
I was impressed with Locke when he played with Hamilton last season, seemed to be a first liner in the AHL. I also see that Kassian is getting a full-season shot with the Aeros. Between him and Love, I think the Aeros should be a pretty tough team to play against.
