It’s Season Two of The AHL Pre-Show! Andrew Rinaldi and Deanna McFeron are back to preview the upcoming week of American Hockey League games. Along the way – our hosts are sure to provide you with a healthy dose of chaotic energy, pop culture references, and everything in between as they break down the weekend action ahead.
Last week’s talk of fun names and fun vibes got our hosts thinking: who has the best hockey name in the AHL? Blade Jenkins? Waltteri Ignatjew? Andrew and Dea can only think of one way to resolve this: tournament style. It’s simple: each team has one “best” name submission and only one can hoist the Calder Cup of Names. Each week the hosts will debate until only the best hockey name in the AHL remains.
The crew follows up bracketology with the preview of the week’s games. Andrew does more apologizing for dunking on the Barracuda, but the San Diego Gulls can’t escape his wrath. Dea thinks Laval and Providence could turn the clock back to the 90’s, and who is line to keep up their October momentum into November? The weather is getting colder but the action on the ice is just starting to heat up!
It’s the hockiest hockey to ever have hockeyed, and you can catch it all this week on TAPS.
