Remember the subject of our first installment of Tales From the AHL? That’s right; Old Pumpkin Head has called it a career. I was thinking to myself, right before I saw this news yesterday, where is Rob Skrlac? That Albany team is going to be pretty tough, with up and comer Cam Janssen, and Gladiator Champ Mike Sgroi doing the heavy lifting. Pumpkin Head is getting a little long in the tooth, so he called it a day. It was awesome to see him make the show for a couple of games last time the NHL played. He was called up as a thank you for years of service to the New Jersey organization, and wasted no time letting the organization know he was thankful. He had a pretty good scrap with Stephen Peat on a Saturday afternoon ABC game, and the crowd erupted to thank him right back. Good luck in the future Rob. Don’t forget to share that huge pillow with your new wife!
