Calder's Calling

With around three games to go for most of the American Hockey League, teams are down to the wire! Whether jockeying for playoff positions, grabbing the last two playoff spots, or making a final impression, there is still a lot at stake!

Andrew Rinaldi joins Corey Swartz and Deana Weinheimer to look back at the last week in AHL news. A goalie goal by Hartford Wolf Pack netminder Louis Domingue, a play-by-play announcer calling a player's first AHL goal that shares his name, and some end-of-season awards are just a taste of what's to come!

They also update you on the playoff race and what to expect throughout the remainder of the 2023-24 AHL Regular Season!

Join Deana, Jay, and Corey in episode 22 of Calder’s Calling! The trio discuss the latest in AHL achievements and talk about the Calder Cup Playoff race, which is rapidly closing in on its conclusion. The team takes a different spin on three stars this week with some unusual picks. Finally, Jay takes a spooky turn with a special segment that must be heard to be believed!

The whole squad is here! Deana, Corey, and Jay are here to talk about the newest AHL players in town, celebrate some milestones and records, give out their three stars of the week, and talk about some of their favorite AHL players who have gone on to big things in the NHL!

Plus, Scott Matla of Locked On Canadiens and Habs EOTP is here to talk about the Laval Rocket's playoff push, and Deana gives us an update on why the North Division playoff race is stressing us all out.*
