Hell, nevermind 1 of them....I'd like to see the whole line of Pelletier/Gawdin/Phillips play a game.

What and lose all the offense of Lewis, Richardson, Pitlick, Ritchie? Talk about a way lose 8 out of 10

No way….imagine Sutter without Lewis AND Ritchie?

Without Lewis who will score empty net goals?

I'm only half kidding here.

I don't remember the last time we played against an empty net

Kinvall playing his 1st game with the Heat

 

[Mazatt]

Kinvall gets his 1st point with the Heat today

Edit: he also looked hurt after the assist without any contact from opposing players. That's a tad bit concerning.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Assist and injury package combo. Shame he can't stay healthy; a Shilly-Shinny pairing on a powerplay would have been fun.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I didn't know it was pronounced "Shinvall".
Are most K's at the begining a Sh in Sweden?

It was either here or in the main boards where one swede explained it. Not all, IIRC, as it depends on the vowel after the K.

First athlete that I could quickly think of as example

 

[Mazatt]

Kinvall is back tonight! Thank goodness

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Valimaki got a physical abuse of an official penalty tonight. Anyone see it?

That is not good. Hopefully he didn't pull a "Wideman"

I "saw" it, but I haven't seen it. Maybe it's that small shove to pick up his gear?

That looks exactly like what he just got suspended 3 games for.

 

[Jagemon]

Now that shit was weak... 3 games for "pushing" the ref to pick up his stick.

Weak.

Free game tonight vs baby Canucks (Abbotsford)

Is Dustin Wolf even mortal? Nearing AHL demi-god status.

As a 20 year old. This guy, uh, might be the real deal.

Is he the favourite for the AHL rookie of the year at the moment?

edit: actually I think I should have asked if he's favourite for the goaltender of the year

Both, and yes. At least he should be

 

[FLAMESFAN]

He's behind Schmid (Devil's prospect) right now statistically, but has played twice as many games.
Schmid had to be called up after Blackwood/Bernier were out, and Gillies (yes, him!) became their starter.
Gillies actually did ok, but Schmid posted some bad numbers....pretty hard to go from USHL to NHL in 1 year!

But when you look at Utica's Nico Daws (another good prospect) vs Werner's numbers and its not close.
Wolf could very well be the MVP in the AHL.

Wolf is special. I’ve been saying that since this rookie camp/preseason when I finally got a good look at him. He stays upright more than any goalie I’ve ever seen. What this means is that he’s able to attack the puck on second saves because he’s still upright. Most guys are down in the butterfly and they aren’t able to push off nearly as well. I think that’s why he’s able to consistently post elite numbers.

He’s like Mike Vernon with Kipper reflexes and flexibility. But really he’s just the next Juuse Saros who Kevin Woodley (In Goal Magazine) compared him to before the season. I honestly think he might be the best goalie in the organization today.

you gotta think he’s a top 3 goalie prospect right now (Walstedt, Wolf, Knight)

I honestly feel the same, but I can’t remember his name, but the goaltending analyst that goes on the Fan each week was talking about how Wolf trains. One drill in particular he does, he’s in the crease with three players around him, one is on each side and the other one is directly in front. The three players will pass the puck between each other and shoot random fire pucks at him. He does this because this drill essentially creates chaos and broken plays that end up happening in game time situation‘s. He thrives and loves doing this drill, whereas most goaltenders would not do this because it could hurt their confidence. Wolf is the opposite and he thrives on doing these types of things.

He also said that the jump to Jr. to the AHL is bigger than the jump to the AHL to NHL. He said Wolf has made adjustments to his game to adjust to the pros and has done it seamlessly. I think he’s will be NHL next season and is capable of starting 20-30 games.
