A few notes on the Stockton Thunder.
The Stockton Thunder, the Reign's first-round playoff opponent, held its media day today. A podcast of the interviews are available here. There's some good insight into a few nuances of the matchup, as well as these highlights:
-- Defenseman Cleve Kinley likes playing in Ontario because "the weather's nice, they've got a nice rink, the hotel's nice, and it's a little bit easier to get up for a road game when the amenities are nicer."
-- Asked about the comparison between Colten Teubert and a "young, raw Chris Pronger," coach Matt Thomas said "I think they've got a big, old Chris Pronger in Chad Starling."
For an accurate, if not especially thorough, breakdown of the matchup, check out this release put out today by the ECHL.
Also today, defenseman Robby Bina joined Kinley and forward Cory Urquhart as players sent from the AHL's Springfield Falcons to the Thunder this week.
