Minor League Thread 2017-18: Part VIII

[Levitate]

I'd say two things in my 1 period of watching him play AHL hockey. He can certainly handle the level of hockey in the AHL at this time. We'll see if he wears down or struggles as the grind sets in, but he doesn't look overmatched or anything.

He does look kind of raw in terms of positioning I think. That's all coaching and getting accustomed to things though, and isn't really unexpected for a guy like him. Just looks like he's learning details basically, which again isn't surprising.

His linemates certainly help as well, playing with some skilled (for the AHL) vets. On the downside he's playing on a line with Puempel who wears number 73 and Chytil wears 72 and AHL games are recorded on a potato so I always have to look close to see who's who

Yeah, McCambridge said in a recent interview that Chytil still has adjusting to do.

But that will come with time as he adjusts to the NA pro game.

McCambridge also implied that the sky's the limit, though. I didn't see the interview, but Crawford was taking about McCambridge's opinion on Chytil before the game started. He's appears high on him.

Malte Stromwall is on unconditional waivers according to Zipay's twitter feed.

Go North young man.

@Levitate Any updates on how people look after the 2nd? It's hard for me to tell via radio. It does sound like Taylor is having a big game vs. us, which is annoying AF.

I'm assuming you bought tonight's game.

 

[Revel]

End of 3 game win streak. We lost 5-1. Couldn't capitalize on like 7 power plays. Sounds like Taylor stood on his head against us, too.

 

[Revel]

Whoever compiles the Highlights for the Pack is on crack.

Anyway, highlights below. Chytil assist is at 13 seconds and is worth watching:

Game Report. Chytil led the team in SOG with 5:

Sorry, something came up and I didn't see the rest of the game after some point in the 2nd

Generally I'd say the same stuff about Chytil, though seems like he might be having his icetime limited a bit? Breaking him into the AHL perhaps

Graves looks like he's trying to be a leader on defense, saw him a lot jumping into the play or making things happen. Didn't see a lot of Gropp, Nieves popped up here and there with some nice plays

 

[Joey Bones]

Pedrie had 4 shots? That's interesting to see.

I think that's pretty much his game. He was quoted saying "You can't score if you don't hoot" or something like that when we signed him.

BTW...this was his first game of the season. Just came back from injury.

Also...Vinnie Lettieri or however you spell it is now injured. Don't know what's wrong.

What a waste of $7.oo

 

[nyr2k2]

Georgiev probably gets the next start. Hopefully he makes the most of it.

 

[Irishguy42]

Georgiev is playing tonight. Pack up 1-0 on a Kosmachuk goal (Tambo assisted).

Lettieri is playing, so not injured

It is a 3-in-3 so rotating forwards is not out of the ordinary.

 

[Irishguy42]

Lettieri scores on the PP making 2-0

2-2 on the PP tonight so far.

Pens make it 2-1 shortly after.

He was injured last game. He did not play and Crawford said on the broadcast that he was injured.

Glad to here it was short term.

The typical hockey player isn't like Ricky Henderson.

 

[Revel]

Sounds like Georgiev is having a hell of a game, if Crawford's tone means anything.

 

[Revel]

We lose

 

[Osminator]

Puempel traded for Red Wings Dman Ryan Sproul (AHL Grand Rapids)... getting crowded on D... no me gusta.

 

[Irishguy42]

Didn't start the third period

I just tuned in to the WP pre-game show ... but was late. I think they may have already discussed our starting lines. They're talking to Coach now...maybe he'll talk about Cheetoh.

 

[Revel]

OK, McCambridge just discussed Chytil. He took a shot off the foot last game and will miss today's game. They sound hopeful that he'll be back very soon.

Also, Nell starting today. Georgiev was great last night (41 shots faced), but they want to rest him because of the night/day back-to-back and the amount of work he had to do.
