Albany liveblog, last day of November edition

Sorry for the delay. Finishing up that “moving” stuff. Sigh. Anyway. You don’t care. Phil should be live any second now, if not already, at AHL Live. (Josh will be, too.) We’ll follow Corey, Pete

Difference-maker

Just like last game, Hartford scores early. (Took the Wolf Pack four shifts instead of two.) There, the similarities end. What was the difference? “You’d like to try to play a complete game,” Scott

Where’s Wes O’Neill when you need him?

Thanksgiving swap

Got that one in just in time: The Islanders announced this morning that they’ve sent Matt Donovan down and called up Calvin de Haan from the Sound Tigers. Last year’s playoffs, I guess, were de Haan’s

Ring the bell: Worcester pregame

Forgot to mention last night: Brett Gallant’s two fights give him 52 as a Sound Tiger. That passes Graham Belak for third on the team’s all-time list. Micheal Haley had 65; Eric Godard had 63. If not

Sacrificing for a point

Like a lot of the Sound Tigers, right to the end, Chris Bruton was laying out to block a shot. Hard to believe in a game where 45 shots got through to Kenny Reiter, but Bridgeport blocked a lot of
