On the podcast with Ana:

1. Ryan Carpenter scored the Barracuda’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss to the Roadrunners last Tuesday, despite outshooting Tucson 33-19.

2. The AHL announced that head coach Roy Sommer won the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the league’s outstanding coach for 2016-17.

3. Danny O’Regan was named the AHL Rookie of the Year. What do you have to say about that vote?

4. O’Regan scored his 23rd goal of the season, but the Cuda dropped a 4-3 decision in overtime to the Roadrunners last Thursday. How did he, his teammates and the coach respond during postgame?

5. The Barracuda closed out the regular season at Rabobank Arena against the Bakersfield Condors. Tell me a little bit about that game.
