Only twice this season and no, Binghamton won't be the River Rats.

 

[nugg]

He came from out of nowhere last year as an ECHL callup, and played really well until the last couple months this season.

Is there potential? sure, goalies can come from out of nowhere, he did have a pretty long stretch of good play, he has good size, his junior #'s were good, his echl #'s were good.

Is he a safe bet? The more recent cold stretch have certainly lengthened those odds. But even there, Albany was going through some things like a team wide flu, and a bunch of callups to the big club gutting the squad. And he's 21.

It's funny that he was the starter for the junior team that Anthony Brodeur was drafted from. I suppose this could be how they first knew of him?

I hope not. One beauty of the River Rats name is that they played like 0.25 miles from the Hudson River.

Looks like Binghamton does have a river. The Susquehanna, which is kinda wimpy compared to the Hudson.

Chances are, since the Devils own the franchise, that they'll continue to be named the Devils. Helps brand promotion for the big club.

2-2 in the third vs the Bings. 30-13 shot advantage for A Devs. 19-2 sot advantage A devs in 2nd.

Jacob MacDonald, the guy trading Gormley opened a spot for, also scored so I'm not sure what the point is here.

Yeah I don't know either. MacDonald had more points than him in less games and even started out the year in the echl. No wonder they wanted to make room for him.

It's just conversation, sheesh

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

MacDonald has a forward like release on his shot. I'm sure it's all he has though.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Exactly, typical of this board for some to read into things on a benign point of the knack for players to score vs their former club.

It's like walking on egg shells here far too often but whatever.

Quenneville from MacDonald and Camper

 

[NjDevsRR]

Just reading about this MacDonald now. Whats his ceiling or is he just AHL quality?

 

[devilsblood]

3-1 Dev's with 10 to go in 3rd.

Straka and some guy named Greg Wolfe in addition to Q's opening goal.

MacDonal, Kujo, Jacobs, camper Pelly with A's. Mac Black has stopped 24 of 25.

Loov in the lineup(not sure if he was last night or not).

I really hope Kujawinski gets increased playing time next year

Obvious assumption is AHL quality is his max. This guy was in the ECHL just a month or so ago.

But if the guy keeps producing like he has? Factor in how bad the big club is? Maybe he gets a chance.

Fair to say that playing on a Cornell team completely devoid of fwd talent kept MacDonald off the radar. Looks like a pretty interesting find by Shero.

 

[devilsblood]

Needs to take advantage of the oppurtunities that present themself like the current one with so many Albany guys up in NJ.

Points in back to back, so it's a start.

Needs to stay healthy too.

 

[devilsblood]

4-1 winners.

Gibbons adds the 4th. Assisted by Greg Wolfe. 1g, 1a on the night. Another MacDonald like out of nowhere find by Shero?

Wolfe has been a recurring ECHL fill-in when the A-Devils are desperate for forwards.

Solid road win vs a good team.
And also with so many guys recalled to NJ.

 

[devilsblood]

Wolfe has been a recurring ECHL fill-in when the A-Devils are desperate for forwards.

Ya, I see 3 games last year, tonight looks like his 2nd this year.

Smallish player who put up pretty decent offensive #'s at Michigan State. Turns 27 next month.

 

[devilsblood]

So Albany is currently 2nd in the North division one point behind Syracuse.

If we were in the Atlantic we'd be in 6th place, 5 points behind 5th place Hersey.

Highlights of last night's 4-1 Devils win over Bridgeport (NYb).
