Joining us today to dissect these games and weigh in on the AHL landscape is former AHL coach, and current commentator, Mike Johnson. Welcome to the show, Coach!
Mike: Thanks for having me. Always happy to talk AHL hockey.
Moderator: let’s start with the bruins. Despite the loss, Eduards Tralmaks continued his impressive season, netting his eleventh goal. Coach,what are your thoughts on Tralmaks’ development and his impact on the Bruins this year?
Mike: Tralmaks has been a real revelation for Providence. He’s a threat every time he touches the puck, and his offensive instincts are off the charts.Eleven goals and ten assists, plus that fantastic plus/minus – those are some impressive numbers for a young player. He’s definitely a key cog in the Bruins’ success this season, even if they didn’t get the win last night.
Moderator: Agreed. His goal against Belleville was a prime example of his ability to capitalize on chances, turning a throw-in into a scoring possibility. Speaking of opportunities,the Bruins aren’t exactly struggling in the Atlantic Division,leading with 62 points. Do you see them maintaining momentum and challenging for the title?
Mike: Absolutely. They’ve got a strong squad, and thier record speaks for itself. But the AHL is a tough league, and teams are fighting hard for playoff positioning.They can’t afford to take their foot off the gas.

Moderator: There’s definitely no shame in losing to a strong opponent. Looking ahead, the Canucks are aiming for a top spot in the Pacific Division.Their late-season schedule will be a crucial test. Simultaneously occurring, the UticaComets, currently leading the North Division with 72 points, will be looking to cement their position. The AHL playoffs are shaping up to be incredibly exciting this year, wouldn’t you say?
