Barracuda News and Discussion 2

[Lebanezer]

I just watched the highlights from Sunday's game and O'Regan looks good. I wonder if he'll get a call up at some point this season. He was always kind of an unknown since he played 4 years of college and I wasn't sure how well his game would translate to the pros.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Looks like Goodrow got a hat trick on Friday.

Timo has 3 pts in 6 games - not a bad start to a pro career. I do find his 9 minor penalties in the same 6 game span to be slightly worrying though...

Heed also seems like one to watch. Over a PPG as a defenseman. Only a 1 year contract, so hopefully he gets a shot with the big club this year.

Yeah, it is usually a really good sign when a defenseman can put up big numbers in the AHL. He's an RFA after the season, too...

Sort of random, but in addition to the Eichel connection - they were line mates for a while - but he was also good friends with Vesey growing up. Because of him we actually have a solid college cohort brewing, with McNally, Blackwell, and I think another that I am forgetting. Even if they don't put up huge numbers, I think those sorts of college athletes are good to have in any development program.

Stat-wise Bergman seems to be doing OK.

FWIW, Barracuda have announced "freebie Fridays" with $5 beers and two-for-one hot dogs and such.

 

[Fresnel]

great deal I may have to sneak of of work early some Friday. I managed to go to the two rampage games last weekend. I spent way more on food and beer then the tickets

 

[LadyStanley]

Now two hours away. No tape delay, no live feed on kdow.

Oh ****...that line is heating up now.

Imagine if Labanc was still with the team.

I'm still in shock that the Sharks now actually have a good AHL club. Not just with the forwards but defence too. At this point, I want the Sharks to grab a top goalie prospect in the draft since they haven't coached up a guy to starter quality since Strelow passed.

Too bad they've never drafted a goalie before the 3rd round.

 

[Lebanezer]

Sorensen scores the Barracuda's second goal from Meier and O'Regan. 2-0 after 2.

O'Regan lost an assist in the 8-5 games against Texas, so he's got 10 points, one behind Goldobin for the team lead.

 

[Hobocop]

Too bad they've never drafted a goalie before the 3rd round.

Considering the success rate of goalies drafted before the 3rd round, I can definitely live with that.

 

[Owen]

The Barracuda are just demolishing the Rampage today and I love it! Kevin Lacy and Zach DeVine have been providing game updates on Twitter since Nollenberger seems to have dropped off the face of the planet.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Dan O'Regan is very good. I'm stoked to see him putting up points.

Two points for Meier, three for Sorensen. Good to see.

SCO-rensen.

I like it.

Grosenick with the shut out. Should be a good flight home this afternoon.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Same.

I'm always going to have reservations about his ability to play in the NHL at his height (especially because he's certainly not as dynamic of a skater as 5-foot-8 guys need to be to play in the NHL), but what he is doing is absolutely awesome.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Joakim Ryan has 30 (!) shots now in 9 games (3.33 per game)
Last year he had 91 shots in 66 games (1.38 per game)

Julius Bergman has 23 shots now in 9 games (2.56 per game)
Last year he had 56 shots in 60 games (0.93 per game)

Certainly an indicator in a change in tempo and possession from last years team.

 

[Episkey]

Yeah, O'Regan has been fantastic. Good to see Meier and Sorensen getting their feet under them and producing. This Barracuda team is exciting, fresh, and very good.

Heed is averaging a point a game from the blue line as well.

Nice to see Chartier tied for first on the team with 5 goals now. It's like every single young guy has really stepped up.

 

[Bowie22]

Damn, there was a game...?

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

Sorensen or Meier would probably be better fits on the top line than Ward.

 

[LadyStanley]

Damn, there was a game...?

8:30 am PT start. In San Antonio.

I really wish I could go to a game this year, but it's highly unlikely, unless they go far in the playoffs.
