Saw where the Canes had signed Cerrato to a 3 year ELC deal. Good news, especially if they can get him to stick at center. He’s been a feisty, fast paced 2 way, all situations center at the college level at Penn State. At 6’ and almost 200 pounds, he’s not a little guy either … which is nice to see in a Canes pipeline that leans small. With two years of college under his belt, he should be well set up to transition to the AHL next season.

The Gargoyles fired head coach Scott Burt. He was probably in a no win situation, he was only hired in June. Before the Gargoyles, he was head coach in Rapid City for 4 years, missing the playoffs in each of the last 3.

Wolves come back from 3-1 down and win game 2 in Grand Rapids in OT, 4-3. Grand Rapids started the season 29-1-1-1 and have been pushed to the brink of elimination by the Wolves. Unger Sorum had the first and last goals, Ryabkin and Foote scored the others.

The series moves to Chicago for game 3 on Tuesday, and if necessary game 4 would be Thursday.
 
That Grand Rapids team is freaking loaded, as the Wings have all sorts of AHL level talent, but they’re pretty young. Good showing for the Wolves, and it’s nice to see actual prospects hitting the net.

Glad to see Fransen signed. There was some talk of them bringing him over last summer, but he stuck it out for another year hoping to get more time in the SEL. His offense doesn’t really seem to be translating as he moves up the ladder, but he’s still really mobile for a guy with a relatively big body. Could be one of those guys who just fits the scheme really well.
 
The Wolves lost in OT last night, 4-3. Grand Rapids took a 2-0 lead but goals by Fensore, Robidas and FUS gave the Wolves a brief 3-2 lead in the 2nd. Grand Rapids tied it up less than 2 minutes after the Wolves took the lead. Grand Rapids outshot the Wolves 17-3 in the 3rd. Primeau had 42 saves.

Game 4 is tomorrow.
