Barracuda News and Discussion Part 4

[LadyStanley]

Balcers bloodied in 2nd. Hope he'll return to play after repairs.

 

[SharkieFan]

More concerned with how they gave up 15 shots in half a period while also having a powerplay.

That's one of the few things this team is really good at.

 

[Lebanezer]

Cliff Watson signing seems like a possible pre-cursor to a Heed trade? I am thinking of him no more than a Cuda D-man now.

It’s just a tryout. They still have 6 dmen even without Martin and Heed.

I know. Cuda have 6 D-men plus Heed and Martin and you are giving a tryout to a player like Watson? Just seems strange.

They need a 7th defenseman in case of injury. Watson is purely defensive so I’d guess it means Martin isn’t coming back more than Heed.

Yah. Probably. They probably use Martin up there while DeMelo is injured (I think he still is) and send Heed to the Cuda.

Deep Dive: AHL All Star Weekend | San Jose Barracuda

Bibeau and Balcers in first ever Deep Dive

 

[LadyStanley]

Trade away Bollig and Grosenick. As of this evening, no player movement on AHL site for recall/signing of backup for Bibeau.

 

[LadyStanley]

Awesome

 

[Kcoyote3]

Manny Wiederer looks VERY German

Who is the new cuda back up tender

 

[LadyStanley]

Guessing they may be using the NHL emergency backup for practice. Should be movement before their next game Friday morning.

Guessing they'll recall Stephon Williams from ECHL.

New Barracuda backup goalie: Martin Brodeur's kid.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

New Barracuda backup goalie: Martin Brodeur's kid.

Just looking at his stats, he has a .919 SV%, yet has a 3.14 GAA. That means he faces about 39 shots per game, on average, lmfao.

Anyone have a scouting report on him?

Scouting report: He's not his father.

 

[SharkieFan]

Scouting report: He's not his father.

My youngest old saw the name Brodeur and his eyes got as big as saucers. I told him "No, not Marty. He's as old as dirt. It's his kid". He was less impressed after I told him that.

Skills: less than his father.
Upside: probably not his father.

 

[UncMike]

Bergman needs to look left on the powerplay....way too many times today there was a guy wide open...a few of those could have helped the 1 for 10 pp

 

[OffSydes]

Is it the same kid that got in that crazy fight?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Is it the same kid that got in that crazy fight?

I just googled it and apparently it was the other goalie for the Allen Americans who got in the fight.
