It’s a new month, with a fresh look into this week in the American Hockey League. Join your hosts, Andrew Rinaldi, Jeremy Paul, Deana Weinheimer, and Zack Power, as they break down this week in the AHL across four divisions.

Have you ever thought your team had a bad injury bug? Well, step aside for the Belleville Seantors! 11 injured players last weekend against the Rocket. We kick things off with a look into the Senators’ missing pieces.

It’s a bit sweet and definitely salty with a debate on power play vs. penalty kill. The hosts break down their takes in the swipe left or swipe right segment on exactly what piece of the special teams’ pie is more important.

Joining the podcast this week is Jalen Smereck. The Detroit-born defenseman tells us about growing the sport of hockey and gets one of the hosts to rewind the clock to a memory of his youth.

Later, Jeremy brings us an interesting stat about the North Division’s top team. Are things as hot as they would be if the shoe was on the other foot?

And don’t look now, but Cleveland is about to start a crucial series against the Rochester Americans following a decisive win over the Toronto Marlies. Are they able to pull it off without top-line players?

From Americans to Canadians, Zack has the controls on the bonus round…or does he? Hope you brought your Canadian hockey encyclopedias to this week’s show!
