Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) Discussion

No points for Soderstrom but is he at least getting looks?

Tucson's offense is almost non existent, they've played 5 games and have only 8 goals.

I've always said it, but I don't believe Potvin is a very good coach and it's a shame that the organization can't realize that they should have someone with more experience helping guide the players down there.

Kirkland was playing earlier in the year - he was taking draws (was he playing centre ).

Anybody know if he's hurt or just a scratch due to numbers?

That’s a nice free addition.

benefiting from Carolina not having a AHL team.

Yup. A joke that the Canes have gotten themselves in this situation.

i'm pretty sure this franchise when they were the Jets and multiple other NHL teams have at one timed shared affiliations. It's not ideal. It's never really worked. Usually some teams prospect suffers with a lack of opportunity.

I see it as the age old game of musical chairs ending, as 1 by 1 teams exit the game by owning their affiliate....question is how many of these are left, and what happens when the last team gets paired with the Wolves or no one, which may have already happened? AHL expansion? Wolves forced sale?

Not easy when you have one AHL team that refuses to be an affiliate.

Canes are looking to add team #33.

Official…

Well, Roadrunners have scored their 1 goal for the game...and now it's tied 1-1, so I expect a 3-1 loss.

We can't score more than 1, BA really needs to do something about it and fast.

If you scroll up one post, you can see that Bill's on it.

Right score.... just got it backwards...

Anson Thornton gets his first AHL start tonight against Chicago.

Soderstom and Kolyachonok were finally paired together this weekend. Kolyachonok got his first point of the season yesterday (1G 1A). Now Soderstom got his first point of the season today (1G).

Doan with a one timer goal and then the empty netter.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

Guenther had 2 assists(+3). His second to Nate Smith was a beauty.

The boys look great!

Tucson playing San Jose tonight… currently up 5-0 late in the second.

Doan with two goals including a penalty shot.

Soderstrom with a PP goal.

(EDIT: 5-1 final)

I'm surprised Doan has more goals than DG. Great for Doaner, but I expected more from Guenther.

If you look at stats only, DG is almost a PPG. That's not too bad at all. Not sure about his overall game though. It's nice to see Doaner, and now Soderstrom producing. Jenik as well. Hope he gets a shot. Smith looks like he is playing well. Like to see him get a shot sometime this year as well.

How about Max Szuber? I'd like to see what he looks like at the NHL level.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Guenther is playing well, Doan is scoring goals and would have way more assists if Tucson actually had people who can put the puck in the net, but they don't. Doan just got moved to Guenther/Smith line two week ago, and you can see he actually now has some assists.

Szuber is going to be good and like Mig's said above, would like to see what he can do at the NHL level. Smith is a dime a dozen, and it is actually surprising that they're winning given the fact that the 2 best forwards are Guenther/Doan and they're both rookies.

^ I see they're 11-6-1-1 so they must be doing something right...
