8/22/11 Blog Suggestion: The Peoria Rivermen Blog

This week, AHL in Photos will move slightly away from photos during the calm before the storm that is the 2011/12 American Hockey League season and offer up some various AHL related blogs that I personally enjoy checking out on a daily basis. All of these blogs can be accessed at anytime on the right-hand side of the site.

Today's recommended blog is The Peoria Rivermen Blog. If the name did not already give it away, the blog covers everything and anything related to the Peoria Rivermen. A rather new blog, started back in March of this year, kept fans up to date with the scenarios required for the 2011 Calder Cup Playoff hunt, offered game previews and recaps, and everything else that a Rivs fan needs to know.

11/19/10 The Post (Top 10 Nominee)

Unfortunately, only shooting last Saturday's Aeros/Rivermen game gave limited choices for a Top 10 Nominee. In this shot, the Houston Aeros came close in the first period of taking the lead, unfortunately, hitting the corner post as defenseman Maxim Noreau was in front of Peoria goaltender Jake Allen. The Aeros would end up being shutout 3-0 by the Rivermen.
