With a lot of players within the range, one player stepped up last night to become the first player to go beyond 100 penalty minutes this year. The first to do so was the AHL's own forward from Providence, Bobby Robins.
Robins is no stranger to the penalty box. Last year he managed to go over 100 penalty minutes twice. Once in the AHL with Providence and once while playing in the ECHL. Robins also accomplished the feat in the true typical style of a guy who gets a lot of penalties. Robins picked up a boarding, fighting and game misconduct all at the same time. That's how you do it.
Last night was not without another interesting accomplishment. I call these accomplishments but they are really just a little something for myself to combine the skill of the game with the aggressiveness. Anyway, last night while playing for Evansville in the ECHL Nathan Moon picked up a hat trick. Nice work. He also got into a fight. Not that is a Gordie Howe hat trick. Except it isn't. Which is why in my stat book it goes under the Danny Boy. The reasoning is simple. The first and only time I saw that done in the AHL or NHL was by Daniel Briere. Now there have been two (since I've been paying attention).
I tried waiting for videos for both but so far nothing. If they get posted I will get them up.
