AHL coach calls out star rookie, who costed the team last playoff game
The Rockford Ice Hogs have successfully made it to the Calder Cup playoffs, which is a great accomplishment for a team that is currently undergoing a rebuild. It's impressive to have a strong AHL contender under such circumstances.
Unfortunately, their playoff run may be short-lived if they don't pick up the pace on Sunday against Texas Stars.
This resulted in the head coach expressing some strong opinions about Lukas Reichel's performance.
Before being sent back down the AHL after spending a month in the NHL, Reichel underperformed according to coach Sorensen.
Joey Anderson, D.J. Busdeker, and Bobby Lynch were the only ones who scored for the IceHogs. It's worth noting that they are not Reichel.
To maintain their competitiveness, the IceHogs rely on Reichel to heed his coach's advice and elevate his game.
