The weekend

The Rampage went 1-1 over the weekend. They beat Grand Rapids but lost to Iowa. The Grand Rapids game was home opener, nothing big was done for the home opener...even though they should have done something for it being our 5th season in the AHL. Both scores of the game were 5-4.

In the Iowa game the Rampage battled back from a 3-1 deficit in the 2nd period. Only to end up losing in the 3rd. I guess that is good in a way. We know they can battle back from that kind of lead. I am glad that hockey season is back in full swing. It has been a long summer with out hockey. Most hockey fans will say it is a long summer. The hockey fans that have been around hockey for a while that is.

Saturday I got to see my friend Mike Green play for Iowa. He use to play for the Rampage until he got traded to the Rangers and then went to play over in Europe. While he was playing in a league over the summer here he got signed by Dallas. I think that is great that a team was willing to sign him. He played well against us. Mike is a good player, and deserves being in the AHL again. Hopefully Dallas will call him up during the season.

That is Mike there in the Iowa jersey. The picture was taken when they were doing warm ups. We play them 4 more times I believe. Well I will let all of you go....lol

Preseason games against Houston

The Rampage split for the preseason series for the first time in Rampage history. This can only mean good things to come hopefully. We are faster and can score, more than last season. Randall Gelech has lead the preseason with the most points. He had 4 points in two games, which is good to know.

The Coyotes have sent down more players:

Matthew Spiller
Travis Roche
David LeNeveu
Enver Lisin
Keith Yandle
Bill Thomas
Matt Jones

Those players did not play in the game with the Rampage Sunday.
