Coachella Firebirds: News and Discussion

[Scomerica]

Has anyone heard what’s up with Tucker Robertson? He was sent to coachella valley after Kraken camp but has yet to play an AHL game. Healthy scratch or hurt?? Thanks

Does this mean he's still under Kraken control?

Does this mean he's still under Kraken control?

Yes.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Driedger left at the first intermission of last night's win - I can't find any details (yet).

 

[Scomerica]

How are CV looking this year? Could they make another finals run?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Most definitely.

Pretty good, according to the standings...

I hadn't looked in a while but that's great to see CV leading their division currently. Looks like Hershey will be in position to go deep once again as well.

Can anyone tell me if Wright is being used as a center or on the wing this year?

 

[Fuhrious]

Cam Hughes tabbed as the team’s nomination to be considered for the AHL’s Man of the Year award (outstanding contributions to the local community and charitable organizations during the 2023-24 season).

Kudos to him for a great season both on and off the ice.

CV lost 3 to 2 to Tucson Wednesday night

Nyman led the team in shots with 6, but didnt make the scoresheet. Wright had an assist.

Season wraps this weekend with a back to back against the San Diego Gulls on Saturday and Sunday

Is Nyman eligible for the AHL playoffs?

 

[Fuhrious]

CV draws Calgary as their first playoff opponent following their first round bye. Game 1 is on May 3.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Dang.

Take it they lost, am watching the Moose Jaw game to see how our boy Jagger is doing.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

4-1 loss but two empty-netters so not as bad as it looked to me last night just scanning boxes.

Wolf still scares me.

 

[Fuhrious]

CV win game 2 with a 4-3 OT win. Just looking at the boxscore, looks like the vets (McCormick, Poturalski, Lind) did all the heavy lifting in this one with Shore potting the OT winner.

Series is 1-1, game #3 on Wednesday.

It is a little surprising (and disappointing) to see none of Winterton, Morrisson, Wright, Nyman with any points so far. Our only prospect with points is Melanson (1A).

Ryker has 1G 1A in 2 games, so atleast that is something.

Ty Nelson should be joining CV his OHL season/career is over.

He can but he cannot play in any playoff games.

Let’s go, CD60!

Why Firebirds' goalie Chris Driedger will be a key to ousting the Wranglers

It’s up to Driedger to continue giving the Firebirds chances to win games for Coachella Valley to make a deep postseason run.
