Happen to notice who leads the AHL in scoring?
Got to admit, about fell out of my chair upon seeing Rochester forward Michal Repik's name waaaay up there. It's no typo, however: with 3 goals and 16 assists in fourteen games, the Panthers' 2007 second-rounder has established himself early among the cream of the American League crop. Through Monday, Repik stands first overall with 19 points, followed by Hershey's Keith Aucoin (18p, 5g) and Corey Locke of Binghamton (18p, 4g).
Collecting points at more than one per match typically demands a couple of serious scoring streaks, and this case is no dfferent. The 5'-10", 180-lb right wing is currently riding a seven-game streak (11p, 2g), coupled with a pair of three-assist performances. Interestingly, he's a -1 on the year.
Next highest Amerk on the list? Bill Thomas, at number twenty (13p, 6g). Rochester (5th in North Division at 7-6-1 / 15 points) will be hosted by the Binghamton Senators Wednesday evening.

I remember the Binghamton Senators. Those were always the most fun Crunch home games. A big group would come up from Binghamton and all sit in the same section. The highest scoring hockey game I’ve ever seen was a Crunch-Sens game in 2006. 9-3.
Florida Panthers: Because at least you can go to the beach after yet another bad loss.

No, never saw them, though I did see Judas Priest and Megadeth in that arena, but alas it was in the Rangers days (1991). I also saw a pre-season Sens-Pens game there post-lockout which was quite exciting at the time. Keep in mind that where I grew up, the only non-college (Elmira College, Cornell University) hockey was on television and in 2005 I had only seen one NHL regular season game (Vancouver at Tampa in 2002) and one pre-season game (Sabres at Jackets, Syracuse War Memorial 2003). The lockout was over and we were going to go see an un-retired Dominik Hasek and that Crosby kid that got drafted first that summer (yeah, who knew?). We even went down to the locker room entrance and watched Hasek sign stuff for the kids gathered outside.

IMO Frolik’s struggles so far have not been due to a lack of effort but lack of skill. His puck-handling is not that of a 30 goal scorer.
If you want to really fire up Frolik, replace him with Repik for a few games. Repik may even develop into a better player in a few years.
He’s got a four-game point streak going (3g, 2a), +6. I’d say he got the message.
As to who may end up having the better career? Repik’s got to make the club and stick.

I’d be hesitant to mess with his progress; besides, who do you sit?
