So was Rochester the higher seed?  If so, I think I would have picked 2 on the road and then 3 at home. I have to believe I could get a split at Laval and then only need 2 out of 3 at home, no?

Not the higher seed. Laval had the choice of 2,2,1 or 2,3. If 2,2,1 they would start at home. Sometimes it's about conflicts with the arena.

Laval is the #1 overall seed. The Macgregor Kilpatrick trophy winner. The equivalent of the President's trophy in the AHL. Laval got to pick the series format.

Amerks sitting for almost 2 weeks between games?? That's crazy!

They really need to do a better job with their scheduling in the AHL, that's a joke.

I challenge everyone to find a trophy with a more badass name than that.

Two last names? That seems as untrustworthy as someone with two first names.

It’s the AHL, take all the terrible self promotion and scheduling atrocities from the NHL, then Make it worse.

It’s just one name. MacGregor has been issued an order.
