Through 31 games, the Albany Strap Hangers are in the thick of the Richard Conference playoff hunt. The team has a respectable 15-12-4 record and as usual is playing stellar defense. The key to most of the strong Strap Hangers teams of the past has been goaltending and defense, keeping them in games. This year's offense isn't spectacular, averaging just under 2 1/2 goals a game and you won't see any atop the scoring leaders. The closest thing they have is defenseman Chris Pronger, leading the team with 23 points in all 31 games played. Injuries have come in bunches with 2 major injuries to offensive threat Sergei Samsonov already this season. The team will need to keep it together defensively if they plan on playing deep into the post season.
