It’s time to reemphasize this again — results aren’t THAT important at the minor league level. Instead, it’s all about development and bringing players up to speed.
But it’s still nice to win once in awhile.
The Providence Bruins did a lot of winning and talent developing last season, but so far in 2023-24 that has not been the case. Boston’s AHL affiliate was swept in a home-and-home series with the Springfield Thunderbirds (St. Louis Blues) over the weekend, losing 5-2 on the road Saturday before a 3-2 overtime defeat at home on Sunday.
Up in Maine, Friday’s home game against the Adirondack Thunder (New Jersey Devils) was postponed due to the tragic events in nearby Lewiston earlier in the week.
