Well if the analysts are to be believed, don't read too much into +/- of players.

Maybe it's improved from when I first watched him but his D is not his forte.

 

[Hinterland]

Is it? I haven’t watched any playoff games but he was a +3 last night and not on the ice for any goals against.

I don't watch a lot of AHL but right or wrong, Kyrou is clearly not trusted by the coaches. Repeatedly healthy scratched and even when he does play it's often in a limited/sheltered role.

I think without Bichsel leaving for Sweden and Grushnikov getting traded, Kyrou wouldn't have played many games this season.

There were other defenseman available if they were trying to draft for need. His defensive issues would have been apparent in junior. Always interesting seeing a player like this get drafted if a major part of his game is a serious issue. Then again he's only 20.

Texas game 2 is tonight at 7pm CT. Best of 5 series, so Texas has a chance to push the Admirals to the brink of elimination

They go with 6 D this time.

Man Bichsel does not look like a fun player to forecheck against lol. If he pins you against the wall you're going no where until he allows you to. The guys he pins are being pinned so tightly they can't even really fight for the puck

Also some guy just tried to hit him behind the net and Bichsel easily shoved him off and ended up being the one with the big hit lol.

Rather than letting himself get hit on the forecheck, he tends to initiate the contact.

Felhaber is a little douche.

 

[Kcb12345]

Petrovic puts Texas up 1-0. Shot from distance

Bichsel gets his first career AHL playoff point

 

[Kcb12345]

Holy shit lmao. Admirals goalie Askarov just tackled McKenzie behind the net during the play and then kicked him with his pad lol

Just completely lost his cool there

 

[Kcb12345]

Bourque feeds McDonald on the PP and its 2-0 Texas halfway through the game

 

[BG44]

 

[Zapp]

[Kcb12345]

Admirals score with 11:04 left in the 3rd. 2-1 Texas

 

[Kcb12345]

Blumel grabs a rebound off the glass and tucks it home to make it 3-1 Texas. Huge goal

8:35 left

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Sell out crowd? Huh.. there is sections with like 15% attendance lol

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Big games 1-2 for Texas tho taking on Admirals one of the better teams.

 

[Kcb12345]

Empty netter for Hryckowian and Texas will win 4-1. Blumel assist
