Why all of the struggling?

Well, a big part of that has been that Jacob Fowler has been ill for almost two weeks now.

He did not travel with the team this week for their road trip.

Were you two hanging out watching the Olympics together?

But yes, apparently Jacob Fowler is dealing with a severe illness and has not been, he's just been out of commission playing wise.

And so they are relying on Kapokakinen and Hunter Jones called up from the ECHL.

and so a little bit of a rough week for them this week, but thankfully they've kind of had plenty of wins banked, so with their 56 games played, they still have 73 points.

They're still sitting first in the North, fourth overall in the AHL.

They only have 16 games left on the regular season, so I think they're going to be fine.

They play Syracuse again on Wednesday, and they play Rochester again on Friday.

Both of those games are at home at Place Belle, so see if they can...

get their goaltender healthy, and see if they can get some retribution in those two games.

Trois-Rivières still hanging in there.

They're sixth in the North right now, 19th overall in the ECHL.

And before we wrap up this first segment, just want to also wrap up the Winter Olympics.

I know it seems like with the NHL getting back up to speed this week, I know the Olympics seemed like it was an eon ago, but we have not...

Had an episode of the podcast since the gold medal game.

And so with that being wrapped up, we of course want to acknowledge both of the medal rounds, the bronze medal game and the gold medal game.

Of course, the bronze medal game, Finland versus Slovakia.

Unfortunately for Juraj Slavkovski and the Slovaks, Finland had firm command in that game and easily beat their Slovakian counterparts six to one.
