2017-18 AHL Affiliate: San Diego Gulls

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Are we keeping welinskis games played down for a Seattle expansion draft??

Chances are Welinski will be on another team or on the way out before that, and either way his lack of games played won't matter.

Fiore has dissapointing numbers for someone who had suck a great camp. Numbers are not terrible but he`s not continuing what looked to be a possibly strong season, imo.
PS
SD has the best fan base in the league, no?

To me Fiore is having a very good season. His production ist on the same level like Luke Kunin's. Everything over 0.5 ppg in the first year in the AHL is pretty decent. His is not playing on the top line if I'm correct. Not sure about his pp time. Fiore is a late bloomer and he shows a lot of interesting skill. I hope he can keep up his progress.

Doubtful as that is two years away. (Summer 2020 Expansion Draft)

Bako extends San Diego's losing streak to three games, final score 3-2 (OT). No highlights available yet, although there are some random clips in Gulls' twitter and Bako's YT channel.

Gulls defeat San Antonio, result 2-1. Highlights here.

Kerdiles & Kossila deserve another look, and maybe Blandisi again he looked much better in his couple games then the trash we are running.

Gulls make a splash on the college FA market, as defenseman Chris Forney joins the team on an ATO.

 

[Opak]

Berra comes up with a 37-save shutout, as the Gulls defeat Milwaukee 2-0. Highlights here.

Is Boyle on track for a full load at the AHL next season or is he due to share the net?

The new guy comes through in OT for the Gulls. Larsson was also 1+2

Gulls defeat Monsters in OT, final score 4-3. Highlights here.

New guy Sherwood debuts and pots the game winner. Gulls are still 2nd in the division, but Ontario is not that far away. The Gulls also need to win the latter game of the back-to-back to stay where they are.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Where's Hans been? Hope he's OK.

Franchise leader in points and can also do this:

Gulls also win the second half of the back-to-back, final score 2-1. Highlights here.

Hard to say. The Ducks have put a veteran on the AHL goalie roster every year they've had the Gulls in San Diego, but that doesn't guarantee they'll do the same thing next season - I've heard little indication whether there are thoughts about that at this point, or whether that decision will be made in the off season.

Hey, thanks for the concern! Just hadn't taken the time to post in a while - all's good.

I've been really frustrated at the continuing seeming inability for the Gulls to get even in the same order of magnitude of shots on goal as their opponents for way too many games. It seems that finally wasn't the case in the 2nd Cleveland game, but that tendency cannot continue and fuel a long playoff run.

The lineup has been seeing a lot of turnover, after a stretch where it appeared pretty set - with a combination of the Ducks calling up people and injuries, we're seeing guys who had been scratches for a long time (like Cooper and Schultz) draw in. They're managing to stay in 2nd in a very tight division, but one bad weekend could see them back near the playoff bubble if not worse.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Hans, good to see you back. Did you get approval for your leave?

Ducks hockey, baby!

How has Larsson been?
We see Pettersson transition quite well to the NHL. Leaves me wondering what`s up with Larsson who already HAD debuted in the NHL last season.

Welcome back. Any thoughts on the new guy Sherwood?

He's been solid of late, not having the moments that had me skeptical of him earlier in the season. He hasn't made a lot of impression - in a good way. He's doing his job and not creating opportunities the other direction. Petersson had had a similar trajectory down in the AHL this season - he'd frustrated me, but clearly sticking as he has up with the big club shows I'm just no good at judging young defensemen unless they're flashy like Theodore or Montour
