Haha

 

[JimEIV]

wow first shutout of the season? really?

Against the best team in the league.

Albany is on track for 43 wins and 215 goals this season

They had 46 wins and 212 goals last season.

 

[Triumph]

Sounds like a pretty great game all around. Blackwood's first shutout as a pro.

ADevs were 50% at ES last I checked, now they're 52%. Auvitu was already a play driver at the NHL level - I imagine he's a superstar in that respect in the AHL.

So much for missing O'Neill, Sislo, Lorito, etc.

Impressive showing tonight.

Would be nice to send down some guys after the season is over, and get some players from junior too, to have Albany go on a deep run. Santini, Zacha, Wood, Blandisi, Speers, etc...

Don't forget Helgeson and Kalinin!

Might see Mcleod, Bastian or Gignac too?

It'll be interesting to see what Kerfoot does when Harvard's season is over also. Potentially he could be in Albany's lineup by seasons end as well.

 

[Triumph]

Interesting that Auvitu was scratched for today's game.

Maybe it's just me, but if I go to Harvard for 3.75 years, Im finishing that final .25. AHL hockey can wait.

Lappin 9 game point streak. 5 g's 6 a's.

Exactly, there's no reason to not finish that.

 

[devilsblood]

I'm guessing an injury. Do they play tomorrow?

 

[Triumph]

I'm guessing an injury. Do they play tomorrow?

No, they don't, and he was named the 3rd star of last night's game and assisted on a goal late.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah but wouldn't he clear a year off his ELC if he signed right away? That's a pretty good carrot to not wait.

 

[Devils731]

I'm guessing he plays for the Devils tomorrow.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm guessing he plays for the Devils tomorrow.

For who though...unless there's another move coming down the pipe.

They probably want a seventh defenseman who's not Helgeson at some point cause Quincey's still hurt.

 

[Billdo]

Yeah but wouldn't he clear a year off his ELC if he signed right away? That's a pretty good carrot to not wait.

It's a Harvard degree. If he doesn't make it in pro hockey, like so many think, he'll have a Harvard degree.

 

[Triumph]

Most pro-bound college hockey players who want to finish their degree take summer courses so they can finish up their degree before the spring semester of their senior year.

Was wondering on that. Guy like Blake Coleman did not though if I remember right. Assuming the guys who plan on going UFA just go a regular 4 years.

I think it needs to be NHL to burn the ELC? Thus Wood and Santini last year in NJ.

Where as Rantanen spent a full year in the AHL last year and did not burn his ELC.

I think.

Yeah I'm sure they can find an excuse to get him in an NHL game late in the season if it comes to it.

Scratched to make room for Loov?

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Idk why but from what I've seen Nathan Bastian, he seems like a player who isn't far away from being NHL ready. That he already has NHL size and strength. One year in the AHL at most, and he'll get time next year up here.
