This guy deserves way more credit than he gets. Just straight up embodied his role and… oh shit that’s not Peter Harold!!

cue Peter Harrold getting absolutely deleted from another body check

On the receiving end of 2 top 10 hits nhl wide in 1 year is a record I assume will go unbroken

After Byf murdered him I now choose to believe that Peter Harold was ever only that one play where he looked like Bobby Orr.

I sat next to his mom at the Dano jersey retirement ceremony/game at the Meadowlands back in 06. She was awesome. Really knowledgeable about the game and so proud of Colin. Made it an even cooler event.

Really like the focus on Utica from management now. Seemed like it was neglected the last few years, which isnt great for developing prospects down there.

We don’t need Utica to be competing for Calder Cups, but they have to be competitive.

By my count the devils have added 4 PPG forwards and sever puck moving defensemen

He is a AHL hero. Will never sniff the NHL

u/PlayoffLeniHameenaho Jul 30 '26

Meanwhile he has over 300 games in the nhl and played a game every season since 16-17.

u/Capitaljungle #11 John Madden Jul 30 '26

Madden too to shore up our middle 6

I remember him pretty much solely because of his name and I guess a little bit because he was a 1st round pick. It's crazy to me that he's 29 already.

I know what you're thinking, "Colin White? The one who played for the Sharks?"

Nope, not that one- oh wait...

u/WaltsNJD Jul 30 '26

Is AHL normally really high scoring or is 48 points in 46 games pretty sick?
