Lou is throwing a Hail Mary

I do think Cholowski will definitely help on the PP. I am sure he'll get a goal!. Iskakhov is back!

The one that is puzzling and curious is Skarek. Why is Sorokin hurt?

 

[Bill Herlyn]

All teams bring up a 3rd string goalie for the playoffs and Skarek is the only goalie eligible that is not hurt(Lennoxx and Appleby have not played recently)

Lou is throwing a Hail Mary

No guarantee any of these guys are playing. And not sure if it's Lou, or Roy telling Lou he needs to sit some loafers.

 

[Big L]

I thought lots of teams call up their AHL players when AHL season is over to sit and watch.

 

[Throttle]

They are at home people. Just using the roster flexibility and minimizing the cost of travel to Carolina.

 

[MarsTBOW]

They probably wanna give a taste of the Playoffs (even if it's only practice) to the young blood. I'm sure one or two will play at some point....

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Aren't these the "Black Aces" that most teams call-up / roster carry every postseason?

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Young blood? Take a look at these names.

Um,. none of these are young. They are the tweeners stuck on the Bridgeport roster due to not being quite good enough. It's fine they are brought along for the ride, but they are no better than Matt Martin even though Ishakov might get a start.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Pretty sure they do this when the AHL team is eliminated and there aren't roster limits, so they can be around the playoff atmosphere and have more intense practices

It's like September call ups in baseball but happens in the playoffs.

I think there's like an air force term they use for it, the players called up are called Black Wings or Black Aces or something

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

I’ll take Iskhakov over Engvall.

Ok How About... "Top Players From The AHL Affiliate"
Better?
Either way, none of these guys have gotten a sniff yet.
Getting here during the playoffs can only be good for these guys like Ishakov.
I predict He Plays Over Martin or Engval!

Engvall has not been our problem in the 1st 2 games

Sorokin in tonight according to Rosner

Isk for Martin is possible if Martin isn't able to go

Do you mean other than being almost single handedly responsible for Jarvis' killer goal to draw within 3-2 the last game?

Seriously? Like no one else is at fault in the last two games?

Come on. How about Varly not being in the right spot for a shot that beat him short side without a screen from a mediocre angle?

Some people just have to hate . . .

 

[Medvescak]

Wasn't overly impressed with Ishakov's debut. Not fast enough or strong enough on his skates. I'd rather see Gauthier injected into the bottom 6.
Man our options really are limited.

I'm probably more okay with Engvall than most on this board, but you said Engvall has not been our problem the first 2 games and I pointed out that he was directly responsible for a killer goal against in game 2 (by making a weak play along the boards and giving the puck up). Whether anyone else has been at fault in the 2 games is a different thing entirely. And no "hate".
