Virginia's far away
Interesting note, passed on by Jonathan Bombulie, from the Gwinnett Daily Post: Bridgeport asked for Mike Vigilante last week from Gwinnett, but he turned down the invite. Luke Curtin said something similar when he came up from Atlantic City three years ago (three years ago?): If he was going to leave his teammates at this point in the season, it would have to be for a long stint and a good-sized role.
Elsewhere, Alexei Kovalev is suffering through vertigo, and that can't be good for the flying, either.
The boys are in Virginia, so I went to the dentist. Ow.
-------------
So I enjoy reading the Hockey Rodent, and the guy has some fine statistical and analytical talent at his disposal. A recent post pointed out BerthWatch, a graphical representation of the results and the remaining schedule of the NHL's Eastern Conference combatants for the final playoff spots. (It also figures each team's mathematical chances at a playoff berth.)
Duly impressed, I started thinking. (Dangerous.) So I drew up this here to do something similar with the three-team race for fourth place in the AHL East Division. It lacks heavily in mathemagics, and it's less elegant because formatting isn't a strength, but I hope the visual representation of the playoff race translates.
One thing that jumped out: Bridgeport will never give up a game in hand to either team again. In fact, they won't catch up in games played to Philadelphia at all until the last Wednesday night of the season.

Dubie goes into the game and relieves Dunham who was shelled for 5 goals and Fata gets his 1st career NHL goal late in the game.
