NYIFC Comments:
NYIFC prospect blog has everything for the Sound Tigers.
Simply put a remarkable accomplishment for rookie AHL coach Brent Thompson, and his staff with the entire Islander organization.
This was a team 29th in the AHL at the end of the calendar year. Many injuries/call-ups.
From 1/2/12-3/2/12 they lost one game in regulation.
Mark Katic was out since day one of preseason until recently. deHaan, Rakhshani, Colliton, Marcinko also have missed significant time.
Kevin Poulin has played every game since Anders Nilsson’s ankle injury (both goaltenders won the award for best goaltender) back to back months.
