For a rebuilding team like the Senators, the cancellation of the AHL season represents a 'missed opportunity.' (HockeyScanner)

A few weeks ago Mann told me that after ten AHL seasons, including six as head coach, this was perhaps the most special group of players he’s been around, largely because they liked each other so much. They were almost like a college team — young, fearless, like-minded.

Injuries and setbacks hit every aspect of the B-Sens. The goaltending wasn’t great at the start, and then starter Marcus Hogberg was gone to the NHL Senators by Dec. 1. At various times, callups and injuries rendered the B-Sens short on defence, and then at forward.were playing 25 to 27 minutes a night and we were still managing to win hockey games — on the road,” Mann says. A total of 16 different defencemen suited up for Belleville.

Belleville led the AHL in road wins with 23 and had an overall road record of 23-5-3. The B-Sens also led the league in goals scored, with 234, and shorthanded goals, with 18.

HockeyScanner That's a tough one to swallow. Lots of prospects are going to miss some vital development time.

Report: MLB to propose starting regular season in July - Sportsnet.caMajor League Baseball will present owners and the players association with a return-to-play proposal next week, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Under this plan, MLB would start the regular season in early July with the goal of playing approximately 78 to 82 games. Fingers crossed, I need some sports soon. Hopefully there can be a resolution where the game's can begin safely. Not going to play. Players already rumbling about player safety and u think there gonna agree to a pay cut? No chance YUP...and now the billionaire owners and millionaire players will be conducting 'war' about salaries and cuts. LOL, LOL and they claim to be soooo concerned about the folks that make their bloated salaries and profits reality. These folks should become congressmen or senators.
