I don't think Snuggy sees NHL yet

I don't think Snuggy sees NHL yet

why isn't he any good ?

I don't think Snuggy sees NHL yet

it totally depends on what they do in free agency, but I believe Snuggy sees "pretty significant" NHL time next year...not much in his way, he needs to be healthy and might not make it out of the gate as he missed a lot of time, but I am pretty confident he plays as many NHL games as Hino did this year or damn close to it. Snuggy needs to get a little bit stronger, but he is built for today's game and has value in all 3 zones.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

He was injured for most of the year. And when he wasn't, it seemed like he was still nursing something. I never saw anything out of him that screamed NHL!!!! this year.

I think he makes it, just not next season.

 

[Teemu]

Playoffs just about to get underway on UToo

 

[clydesdale line]

Rockford wins game 1. Courtney is happy.

 

[ClydeLee]

Rockford won game 2. Controlling pace and getting lots of Pp goals. They had the same lineup as game one except Kero replaced Fortin.

Interesting note I thought about as Snuggy was the talk of the page but he's been a scratch the playoffs and was most of April. Not sure if it was all injury related or sticking with the hot playoff bound best roster options.

 

[Teemu]

Snuggy has been fighting injuries all year

 

[CallMeShaft]

Snuggy won't be on the team next year anyways due to all the competition for spots. Forsling, Jokiharju, and Mitchell (who could play as soon as his college season ends next year) can all get some games in the 18-19 season. Not to mention Dahlin...

Also, apparently the AHL playoffs (or at least the first round of the playoffs) is a best of 5, so Rockford can sweep the Wolves (the best team in that division this year) with a win on Thursday. Good for them.

i thought snuggy was an up and coming star...what the hell happened

No one ever said he was a star....

People thought he had NHL potential, and he certainly still does, but he's had numerous injuries this season affecting his performance and progression.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Last night's game was one of the best hockey games I have ever been to.

I am pleased...

 

[Teemu]

Nice primary assist from Kayumov. His team is about to win the MHL championship.

 

[Blue Liner]

That was a nice play all around.

 

[Teemu]

Altybarmakyan and his VHL team are entering 6OT in their playoff game. Their opponents win the league championship with a victory. It's almost 2:30am local time.

[Teemu]

Same lines as Game 2 for the Hogs tonight (identical as Game 1 but with Kero in for Fortin). Suzuki will make his debut for the Wolves on the top line

 

[TLEH]

Nick Suzuki is good.

 

[Teemu]

Three goals in about 4 minutes for Rockford to take the lead. Ejdsell had the third.

 

[CallMeShaft]

 

[Teemu]

Headed to overtime

 

[ClydeLee]

Going into triple it, listening too it and they found like lots of tired play. But highlight of the 2nd ot was Pirri colliding into another Wolves player

 

[CallMeShaft]

Ejdsell wins it in triple OT. Happy (early) Birthday Courts!

 

[ClydeLee]

Ejdsell wins it on a Pp goal in triple OT.

Sweeped the Wolves!
