COMEBACK COMPLETE IN TORONTO[/align] TORONTO, ON - The Toronto Marlies were riding a 6-1-1 streak into the season's final game, having moved from the conference basement just a month ago to the precipice of the playoffs. They still needed one final win and some help to get in, however...and they got it. The Marlies defeated the Rochester Americans 3-1 Saturday afternoon, but the 3:00 PM start was the first game of the day around the AHL, meaning both teams had to wait several hours to know their fates. The Amerks headed back home soon after the game, and, by the time their bus arrived in Rochester, they learned that both Utica and Hamilton had lost their games as well, handing the Amerks the North Division title and the #3 seed in the playoffs. The Marlies, meanwhile, had to wait until around 10:30 PM to know their fate. Losses by the Iowa Wild and Abbotsford Heat allowed the Marlies to jump from 9th place to 7th and secure a playoff spot. The team held a post-game party for fans Saturday night at a nearby pub; the place went crazy after the Iowa and Abbotsford games finished as Marlies fans celebrated their unlikely comeback. The Marlies dominated the Amerks in the season series, winning 7 out of 10 and picking up two points from overtime losses as well. The only regulation win for the Amerks against the Marlies this year was back on October 26 in Toronto. Due to the playoff seeding, however, these rivals who had met in the opening round each of the previous two season cannot face each other until the conference finals this year. The Amerks will now prepare to host the Hamilton Bulldogs next week for the first two games of a best-of-5 quarter-final series. We'll have a regular season recap and first round preview coming tomorrow. Saturday's Results: Rochester 1 @ Toronto 3 - Amerks back into North title, Marlies cap off cinderella run to the playoffs. Springfield 2 @ Albany 3 - Falcons miss playoffs on wins tiebreaker, Devils are AHL's regular season champs. Syracuse 2 @ Hamilton 1 - Crunch lock up #4 seed, Bulldogs miss their shot to win North. Bridgeport 3 @ Hartford 1 Adirondack 1 @ Hershey 2 Grand Rapids 2 @ Lake Erie 3 St John's 2 @ Portland 1 (OT) - 'Caps Overtime win leaves both teams at 88 points. WBS 3 @ Utica 2 - WBS heads to playoffs, Comets fail to win North. Providence 3 @ Worcester 2 - Sharks finish with 88 points, win Northeast on goals. Norfolk 2 @ Binghamton 3 Milwaukee 3 @ Chicago 4 (OT) - Heartbreak in overtime as Admirals fail to make playoffs. Iowa 1 @ Oklahoma City 2 - Wild lose finale, miss playoffs by a point. Charlotte 2 @ Rockford 3 - IceHogs leapfrog Utica for 4th place. Abbotsford 2 @ Texas 3 - Heat lose, but hang on to 8th and final playoff spot. Sunday's Game: Manchester 2 @ Portland 1 - Monarchs win creates a 4-way tie for North, earns them 8th place on tiebreakers, Pirates 7th.

Mr. AHL Posts: 928 Group: Moderator Member #18 Joined: April 6, 2011	[align=center][/align] After 1140 games over 199 days, The 2013-14 AHL regular season has come to a close. The Calder Cup Playoffs, a battle for the league's ultimate prize, begin in a few days, but first, we'll look back at the final standings. [align=center][/align] The Albany Devils won their first-ever MacGregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the AHL's regular season champions with just 98 points, tying the lowest total for a winning team set by the 2001-02 Bridgeport Sound Tigers. It's the first such accomplishment for a New Jersey Devils' affiliate. 6 of the 16 previous winners have gone on to win the Calder Cup. The biggest story is undoubtedly the Atlantic Division, which ended in a 4-way tie between Worcester, Portland, Manchester, and St. John's. Remarkably, all four teams finished with identical 38-26-12 records, meaning goals scored was used as the tiebreaker. Worcester captured the division title and the 3rd seed by beating out Portland by a single goal, 169 to 168. The Pirates finished 7th, the Monarchs 8th with 164 goals, while the IceCaps finished 9th and out of the playoffs with only 152 goals. The Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins and Milwaukee Admirals both entered 2013-14 riding 11-year playoff streaks. The Penguins captured their 12th straight playoff berth, but the Admirals' run ended in heartbreaking fashion when they lost their finale in overtime to rival Chicago, needing a win to send them on. Both the East and North divisions sent four of their five teams to the postseason. All three Canadian teams in the Western Conference qualified, as well as 5 of the league's 6 New York clubs. The last three Calder Cup Winners (Grand Rapids, Norfolk, and Binghamton) all made the playoffs, as well as the last two runners-up (Syracuse and Toronto). [align=center][/align] Despite playing for a team that narrowly missed the playoffs, Springfield's Cam Atkinson took home the Willie Marshall Award for most goals scored, as well as a share of the John B. Sollenberger Trophy for the scoring title. Atkinson, San Antonio's Jon Matsumoto, and Grand Rapids' Temmu Pulkkinen each finished with 53 points. Oklahoma City's Darcy Hordichuck ran away with the lead in penalty minutes, while the +/- category was dominated by the Grand Rapids Griffins and Rockford IceHogs. [align=center][/align] Marcus Foligno led the Amerks with the 25 goals during the 2013-14 campaign, while Luke Adam finished first in a tight 4-way race for the team's top scorer.

Mr. AHL Posts: 928 Group: Moderator Member #18 Joined: April 6, 2011	[align=center] CONFERENCE QUARTER-FINALS PREVIEW[/align] Fourteen teams have been sent home, sixteen remain, and the matchups are set. The AHL's Calder Cup Playoffs are set to open later this week with the first of four rounds. 15 wins separates one of these teams from glory. For the third consecutive year, the opening round will be a best-of-5, and all subsequent rounds best-of-7. As per league rules, the series format is 2-2-1 when teams are less than 300 miles apart, and 2-3 when more. When a 2-3 format is used, the higher seed has their choice of hosting games 1 and 2, or games 3 through 5. Seven of the eight quarter-finals are first time playoff matchups, with the exception of the Rochester Americans and Hamilton Bulldogs, who collide in the playoffs for the sixth time. The Amerks have won 4 of the previous 5 series, but the Bulldogs won the most recent one, in 2007. The Amerks certainly were fortunate to draw Hamilton, a team they have had a lot of success against this season. The Amerks will open at home, where they swept the Bulldogs in four visits during the regular season. Also fortunate for the Amerks is that, due to the seeding, they avoid potentially playing either Grand Rapids or Toronto until conference finals, the two teams who gave the Amerks the most trouble this year. The matchup with the Bulldogs also continues and odd streak for the Amerks, who have now faced a Canadian team in seven straight playoff series. The streak began in 2005 against the Bulldogs, which was also the last time the Amerks have won a playoff series. Since that 2005 win, they've lost series to the Bulldogs, Manitoba Moose, Abbotsford Heat, and Toronto Marlies (twice). #1 Grand Rapids Griffins vs. #8 Abbotsford Heat Final Record: GR: 39-22-15, 93 PTS / ABB: 38-27-11, 87 PTS Leading Scorer: GR: Teemu Pulkkinen - 27 G, 26 A, 53 PTS / ABB: Greg Nemisz - 14 G, 22 A, 36 PTS Season Series: GR: 2-1-1, 5 PTS / ABB: 2-2-0, 4 PTS Series Format: 2-3 Past Playoff Meetings: None #2 Charlotte Checkers vs. #7 Toronto Marlies Final Record: CHA: 40-25-11, 91 PTS / TOR: 37-25-14, 88 PTS Leading Scorer: CHA: Andres Nodl - 12 G, 28 A, 40 PTS / TOR: Nazem Kadri - 28 G, 23 A, 51 PTS Season Series: CHA: 2-1-1, 5 PTS / TOR: 2-1-1, 5 PTS Series Format: 2-3 Past Playoff Meetings: None #3 Rochester Americans vs. #6 Hamilton Bulldogs Final Record: RCH: 42-29-5, 89 PTS / HAM: 38-26-12, 88 PTS Leading Scorer: RCH: Luke Adam - 16 G, 29 A, 45 PTS / HAM: Brendan Gallagher - 21 G, 28 A, 49 PTS Season Series: RCH: 6-1-1, 13 PTS / HAM: 2-6-0, 4 PTS Series Format: 2-2-1 Past Playoff Meetings: 1999 - Rochester wins 4-2 2000 - Rochester wins 4-2 2004 - Rochester wins 4-0 2005 - Rochester wins 4-0 2007 - Hamilton wins 4-2 #4 Rockford IceHogs vs. #5 Utica Comets Final Record: RFD: 40-26-10, 90 PTS / UTI: 39-26-11, 89 PTS Leading Scorer: RFD: Jeremy Morin - 14 G, 34 A, 48 PTS / UTI: Niklas Jensen - 21 G, 23 A, 44 PTS Season Series: RFD: 0-2-0, 0 PTS / UTI: 2-0-0, 4 PTS Series Format: 2-3 Past Playoff Meetings: None #1 Albany Devils vs. #8 Manchester Monarchs Final Record: ALB: 45-23-8, 98 PTS / MCH: 38-26-12, 88 PTS Leading Scorer: ALB: Stephen Gionta - 20 G, 29 A, 49 PTS / MCH: Jake Muzzin - 13 G, 36 A, 49 PTS Season Series: ALB: 1-1-0, 2 PTS / MCH: 1-1-0, 2 PTS Series Format: 2-2-1 Past Playoff Meetings: None #2 Norfolk Admirals vs. #7 Portland Pirates Final Record: NOR: 42-22-12, 96 PTS / POR: 38-26-12, 88 PTS Leading Scorer: NOR: Antoine Roussel - 17 G, 34 A, 51 PTS / POR: Dustin Penner - 28 G, 23 A, 51 PTS Season Series: NOR: 3-1-0, 6 PTS / POR: 1-2-1, 3 PTS Series Format: 2-3 Past Playoff Meetings: None #3 Worcester Sharks vs. #6 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Final Record: WOR: 38-26-12, 88 PTS / WBS: 39-26-11, 89 PTS Leading Scorer: WOR: TJ Galiardi - 26 G, 21 A, 47 PTS / WBS: Harry Zolnierczyk - 17 G, 30 A, 47 PTS Season Series: WOR: 1-0-1, 3 PTS / WBS: 1-0-1, 3 PTS Series Format: 2-2-1 Past Playoff Meetings: None #4 Syracuse Crunch vs. #5 Binghamton Senators Final Record: SYR: 43-27-6, 92 PTS / BNG: 41-25-10, 92 PTS Leading Scorer: SYR: Brett Connolly - 22 G, 26 A, 48 PTS / BNG: Erik Condra - 18 G, 27 A, 45 PTS Season Series: SYR: 3-7-0, 6 PTS / BNG: 7-2-1, 15 PTS Series Format: 2-2-1 Past Playoff Meetings: None

FOURTH LINE GIVES AMERKS THE FIRST STRIKE[/align] ROCHESTER, NY - The Rochester Americans are off to a great start in the playoffs, opening their quest for a seventh Calder Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs. Despite all the firepower the Amerks possess, the only men to put a puck past Bulldogs' goalie Dutin Tokarski was the fourth line. Mikhail Grigorenko and Matt Ellis assisted on Cody McCormick's goal 5:38 into the hockey game, and that was all of the scoring except for Patrick Rissmiller's 150-foot dump into the empty net with seven seconds remaining. Matt Hackett continued to be unbeatable for the Bulldogs. He has played in all 5 home games against the Bulldogs this year, and shut them out three times: twice in November, and last night in Game 1. Hackett also allowed only three goals in the other two home games combined. Hamilton coach Sylvain Lefebrve was irate at his team's performance: "We didn't look like we even wanted to win out there. I need to see a team on the ice tomorrow that wants to win a hockey game." Amerks coach Chadd Cassidy took a different tone: "Good start for us, but we can be a lot better. We won't win every game with one goal. But the boys played great tonight. A lot of effort out there after a grueling end to our season." The Amerks hold a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-5 quarter-final and will look to take command of the series at home in Game 2. "We may have dominated them this year, but this is still a playoff team we're facing and things can change quickly in a short series", said Amerks' captain Matt Ellis.

Mr. AHL Posts: 928 Group: Moderator Member #18 Joined: April 6, 2011	[align=center]Western Conference Quarter-Finals Game 2 - Rochester Leads Series 2-0 The Amerks and home crowd celebrate as the final horn sounds in Game 2. AMERKS PUT THE 'DOGS ON A SHORT LEASH[/align] ROCHESTER, NY - "Our effort tonight was not enough", succinctly said Bulldogs captain Mike Blunden after his team lost Game 2. The Amerks left the Bulldogs in a real hole by earning a 5-2 victory in the second game, and going up 2-0 in the opening round series. Mike Zigomanis led the Americans' offensive outburst with two goals and an assist. Zigomanis got the game puck from his teammates and spoke to the local media after the game: "This is such a great group of guys, and I've had so much fun coming to the rink all season, in my first year here [in Rochester]. We're doing a lot of things right and we know we have what it takes to make a run for the cup." Matt Hackett's shutout streak to open the postseason was finally snapped by Louis Leblanc at 15:21 of the second period, but by that time the Bulldogs already trailed 3-0. "We had a nice effort in the third period", said Bulldogs coach Sylvain Lefebrve. "It's a shame that it took a three goal deficit to motivate us." The series now moves north of the border for Games 3 and 4, but Rochester needs just one more win to finish off Hamilton and advance to the conference semi-finals. Although the Bulldogs have struggled, both of their fellow Canadian clubs in the Western Conference playoffs lead 2-0 despite being the bottom two seeds. Through the first two games of each series, the home team is 12-4.

Mr. AHL Posts: 928 Group: Moderator Member #18 Joined: April 6, 2011	[align=center]Western Conference Quarter-Finals Game 3 - Rochester Wins Series 3-0 Brian Flynn talks with his Amerk teammates on the bench. THREE UP, THREE DOWN[/align] HAMILTON, ON - The Americans rolled on to round two with ease in Hamilton, completing their 3-game sweep of the Bulldogs with a decisive 4-0 victory. Cody Hodgson scored a hat trick while Matt Hackett shut out the lifeless Bulldogs offense for an incredible fourth time in 2013-14. This series was never in doubt: the Amerks led for all but 14 out of 180 minutes in the series and outscored the Bulldogs 11-2. "Sometimes it takes a big hole for a team to find themselves and rally, so we were ready for anything", said Hodgson. "We didn't take them for granted, and we won't take our next opponent for granted either." "It's a long road to get to that cup, and it's not all going to be easy", added veteran forward Jeff Taffe. For the Bulldogs, summer comes earlier than they would have preferred, but the season was still an improvement after back-to-back years out of the playoffs in 2012 and 2013. The Toronto Marlies also swept their series against the Charlotte Checkers, guaranteeing the Amerks will keep with the Canadian flavor and either draw the Marlies or the Abbotsford Heat as their next opponent.

The playoffs will now shift to the traditional best-of-7 from here on out. Four favorites and four underdogs advanced out of the quarter-finals, with opposite seeds winning in the each conference. Seeds 3,4,7, and 8 won out West, while numbers 1,2,5, and 6 moved on in the Eastern Conference. Both of last season's Calder Cup finalists were eliminated in the opening round. The Grand Rapids Griffins fell behind two games to none out in Abbotsford and lost their series in four games. The Syracuse Crunch were defeated on home ice in overtime in the decisive Game 5 by the rival Binghamton Senators. In fact, all three series that went the distance were decided in overtime. Three of the four remaining Eastern Conference teams hail from the East Division, the division which has produced the conference's Calder Cup finalist for ten consecutive seasons. The Amerks will get the Abbotsford Heat in the semi-finals, and are guaranteed home-ice advantage for the next two rounds as the highest surviving seed in the conference. The Amerks' streak of facing Canadian teams in the playoffs also continues, now at eight straight series. The Amerks/Heat matchup creates a unique situation of two teams meeting in the playoffs who did not play during the regular season. The clubs did meet eight times in 2012-13, and the Amerks won five of those. For the Amerks, they'll finally have a chance to avenge their playoff loss to the Heat in 2010, when they blew a 3-1 series lead and suffered embarrassing losses on home ice in Games 6 and 7. Just as in the previous round, the series format is dependant on the distance between the teams. Since Rochester and Abbotsford are 2,774 miles apart, they'll obviously use a 2-3-2 format. The Amerks have elected to play Games 1,2, and, if necessary, 6 and 7 at home. #3 Rochester Americans vs. #8 Abbotsford Heat How They Got Here: RCH: Defeated Hamilton 3-0 / ABB: Defeated Grand Rapids 3-1 Season Series: No meetings Series Format: 2-3-2 Past Playoff Meetings: 2010 - Abbotsford wins 4-3 #4 Rockford IceHogs vs. #7 Toronto Marlies How They Got Here: RFD: Defeated Utica 3-2 / TOR: Defeated Charlotte 3-0 Season Series: RFD: 0-2-0, 0 PTS / TOR: 2-0-0, 4 PTS Series Format: 2-3-2 Past Playoff Meetings: None #1 Albany Devils vs. #6 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins How They Got Here: ALB: Defeated Manchester 3-1 / WBS: Defeated Worcester 3-1 Season Series: ALB: 3-1-0, 6 PTS / WBS: 1-3-0, 2 PTS Series Format: 2-2-1-1-1 Past Playoff Meetings: None #2 Norfolk Admirals vs. #5 Binghamton Senators How They Got Here: NOR: Defeated Portland 3-2 / BNG: Defeated Syracuse 3-2 Season Series: NOR: 6-1-1, 13 PTS / BNG: 2-3-3, 7 PTS Series Format: 2-3-2 Past Playoff Meetings: 2004 - Norfolk wins 2-0

HEAT 'BEGIN' WITH A WIN[/align] ROCHESTER, NY - The Amerks face a new situation against a new team; they trail 1-0 in their best-of-7 series against the Heat and now badly need to win Game 2 before the series shifts to Abbotsford for three games. Matt Hackett and Barry Brust were locked in a goalie duel for the first two periods while these teams that hadn't seen each other all season figured each other out. Their styles were in stark contrast, with the Heat relying on quick breakouts to create a lot of odd-man rushes, while the Amerks cycled the puck and set up one-timers to perfection. The Heat's Greg Nemisz broke the scoreless tie early in the third period when Hackett was unable to cover a loose puck in his own crease, but Mikhail Gregorienko evened it up for the home side ten minutes later. In overtime, it took just 29 seconds and a single shot for Steve Begin to win the opening game for the Heat. "We were basically learning on the fly how to play and coach against these guys", said Amerks assistant coach Chris Taylor. "Thankfully, we have a great video coach in Kyle Smith, so he'll go through the tape with the guys and we'll be more prepared for the next game." "Rochester's a tough team to play. They pushed us for 60 minutes. They've got a ton of skill and it's going to be a tough series", said Begin, who was named the night's first star. Road victories were the theme around the league in Game 1's, as only the Norfolk Admirals were able to win at home to open the semi-final round.
