Moose Season Discussion

Moose third period comeback falls short as Wild take regular season home finale 4-3:











Game recap here.

They head out on the road for last three regular season games which starts on Wednesday.

Is Ville playing the right side with Capo on the left?

Is Ville playing the right side with Capo on the left?

He's primarily played the left side with Simon Lundmark on the right (feels like for 95% of the games he's played). Today they flipped him to right side so he could play with Dylan Anhorn who made his pro debut.

Is Ville playing the right side with Capo on the left?

They're put together opportunistically and when the Moose need offense, but I don't recall them being a designated pairing at any point.

Round 1 Play-in schedule, all in suburban Austin. (aka potentially the cheapest playoff package buy-in ever)

Moose can't catch the Stars after losing 6-4 to the Admirals:

 

[Atoyot]

Heinola, Lundqvist, Saunter, and Milic all had pretty brutal games. Capo was okay but let his man stand on the back door forever on the game winning goal with 54 seconds left.

 

[Atoyot]

Barlow gets his first AHL goal.

Heinola sets him up on the powerplay, his 4th assist through 2 periods.

 

[Atoyot]

Heinola up to 1G4A.

Barlow gets his first assist to add to his first goal.

 

[ICdave]

Moose obliterate the Texas Stars 8-3 as power play is on fire ahead of play-in series:







Goals: Reichel | Malott | Reichel | Ford | Barlow | Toninato | Heinola | Lundmark

Moose end regular season with sweep of weekend set vs Stars who are upcoming play-in opponent:







*should say All-Time Rookies Points list

That Barlow one timer works so well in junior and in AHL. Let’s hope it works well in the NHL

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

Thanks for posting these Dave. Looks like Barlow did well on the power play, how was his 5 vs 5 play?

 

[ps241]

So about Barlow’s sluggish start to his OHL season (due to injuries). As Pete Townsend would say, it appears

“The kids are alright”

That one looked like he flubbed it a bit and it went in off of a body in front. They all count tho lol

His first game he looked like he was trying not to get burned by a defensive mistake. Second game looked more comfortable. Still a big adjustment going from playing against 'boys to men' but you can see his skills.

Stars get revenge on Moose with game 1 win in best of 3 to push MB to brink of elimination:









Game recap here. Re-match on Thursday for must-win game 2.

 

[roccerfeller]

Moose are down 2 with 10 mins left in third

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Hopefully I win that Kyle Capobianco All-Star jersey for my $0 investment.

 

[ICdave]

Moose season comes to an end as Stars earn best of three sweep with 2-0 win in game 2:









Manitoba likely deserved a better fate outshooting Texas 41-22 but they couldn't solve Remi Porier.

Game recap here.

Could be wrong but I suspect the Moose (including any potential black aces) head back to Wpg for exit interviews. None of these guys are playing over the guys up with Jets (again my speculation). So they'll likely join up as Black Aces on Monday when team is back in the 'Peg.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Ha ha ha! They thought they were going to sell tickets.

We didn't actually get to see a home game, but at least we'll always have the memories of the short but illustrious Moose playoff run of '24.

 

[ps241]

Not sure I really get the point of best of 1 playoff series?

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Moose lost two straight games in the best-of-3.

 

[ps241]

Moose lost two straight games in the best-of-3.

I was being sarcastic. I think after such a long grinding season any team that makes the playoffs deserves a best of 7 series.
