If you win in overtime in the New NHL AHL, have you stolen one point or two?
Not much swinging most of the afternoon: Mauldin scores one goal off a turnover, and that’s about as exciting as it gets for almost 55 minutes.
“They’ve played the same number of games as we did, and they traveled, and they looked a little stronger at points of the game,” Jack Capuano said. “That’s not what I’m about. I want to be the best-conditioned team.”
They have three days of practice to talk about that. But they are 4-0, which is unprecedented around here. They have wins over a few pretty good teams. They’re all one-goal wins, three beyond regulation, but they’re still two points.

Greg Mauldin was pretty stoked about scoring those goals. He also seemed to be giving some of his old mates the business afterward, and given the way they took it, looked like he was pretty well-liked in that room.
Coming off that 8-1 game, the Sens looked good.
Hadn’t seen why Pascal Morency was poking around the Binghamton penalty box while Gillies and Spencer fought, a treasure hunt that led to Spencer giving him a shove at the door, which could have gotten worse. Morency said he had tossed Gillies’ helmet into the box, then realized he had tossed it into the wrong box. He was trying to root that out when the combatants arrived. Never a dull moment with Pascal around.
Craig Schira, the defenseman who took Brett Westgarth’s blast off the side of his head, was walking around after the game, bloody, maybe looking a little dazed, but apparently OK.
And finally, can’t wait to get the Internet back at home. Painful. I think I could survive without cable, but the Internet is like oxygen.
