HOME game: Syracuse at Bridgeport

By on February 5, 2020 at 10:10 AM
  • Who, when, whatever: Crunch at Sound Tigers, Arena at Harbor Yard, Wednesday, too dang early 10:30 a.m.
  • Watch: AHLTV pay-per-view
  • Listen: Mixlr audio
  • Twitters: Alan / the Sound Tigers / the Crunch / Lindsay Kramer / Ehh me too why not
  • Box score: Think so (R: Halkidis, Deckard; L: Colby, Galvin)
  • Game notes: Well, they’re coming off a win at least. They snapped the losing streak with a win at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night. Since then, Kieffer Bellows was called up to make his NHL debut last night and, after the fact, get his first NHL point. The Islanders sent Sebastian Aho back after that one, so he’ll be available this morning. But Bode Wilde, Matt Lorito and Andrew Ladd are all out with reported upper-body injuries. (That’s 318 man-games lost to injury in 48 games.)
  • Is it too early for this: Good gravy yes.
  • Bridgeport scratches, like it’s an old-school pregameblog (presumed healthy unless noted): Soderstrom (lower), Hickey (lower), Quenneville, Wilde (upper), Brown (lower), Fritz (lower), Ladd (upper), Lorito (upper), Schilkey *(upper).
  • Meh, what else is going on: Nothing yet. It’s 10 in the morning, for crying out loud. But No. 1 hosts No. 2 later on.
  • RIP, Willie Wood and Gene Reynolds.
  • If this were a regular blog post, what word or phrase would most likely follow “More” at this point: Saturday.
