JUST LIKE THAT
VERSUS Connecticut Whale head coach Ken Gernander, along with just about every coach from Pee-Wee on up, preaches to his players about playing the full 60 minutes. In Gernander’s case he’s been saying it in Hartford back to when he was on the ice as…
WHO KNEW…
VERSUS As the Hartford Wolf Pack they struggled to find a way to win even six of their first 22 games and were last in the Atlantic Division. As the Connecticut Whale they’ve won 12 of their first 16 and moved into second place. How…
RANGERS/WOLF PACK/WHALE ACQUIRE DEFENSEMAN STU BICKEL
