Jacob Stoller and Justin Cohn discuss Kevin Mandolese's memorable NHL debut with the Ottawa Senators, the Allen Americans, a suit jacket toss and more.
This week on The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Justin A. Cohn:
- Kevin Mandolese, 22, suited up for the Ottawa Senators and recorded 46 saves en route to a win in his NHL debut against the New York Islanders. Mandolese played most of this season in Belleville, but he spent time with the Allen Americans, where he posted a 4-1-0 record.
- The Allen Americans are the team of the week as Ottawa's ECHL affiliate. Zachary Massicotte and Xavier Bernard are the two AHL-contracted players on the team. Colton Hargrove and Jack Combs — plus rookies Hank Crone and Liam Finlay — highlight an impressive crop of ECHL-contracted players leading the way for Allen.
- Allen's coach was also suspended for his antics last Saturday, which included a suit jacket toss.
- Beck Warm is the prospect of the week. Warm, 23, boasts a 19-6-4 record and a .899 save percentage for the Cincinnati Cyclones. Currently signed to an AHL deal with Rochester, could we see him rise up the ranks of Buffalo's system?
- What makes a good hockey name? Justin gives us his 10 favourite hockey names of all-time, and Jacob shows his age.
