Tucson Roadrunners Discussion - Western Conference Champions!!

[BigMac1212]

Nice gesture by the AHL.

Pretty nice gesture.

 

[EXTRAS]

Hey, guys. I know wood has been playing well offensively, but how is he on the defensively side? Could his d ever be up to par for a top pairing NHL guy?

Would really like to hear some Tucson fan opinions on this.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Something I didn't know.

Fischer, at 19 years old, was the youngest participant among the 48 players present, and only the 10th teenager to play in the game since 1995.

Team lost, but Roadrunners represented well.

Fischer (1G, 2A)
Wood (2G, 1A)

I know he's on skates, but Kyle Wood is a big dude.

He is a giant. At the game against San Diego last week he was one of the tallest if not tallest player on the ice.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Anyone going?

 

[CoyoteDave]

Headed out to see the youngsters on the farm club Friday. Taking someone that has never been to a hockey game. Hope to turn them into a fanatic.

WE HAVE A TRADE TO ANNOUNCE:

Apparently, Tucson would rather have Brendans/Brandens than Justins.

Seems like a good move, though - Peters wasn't that great or getting much icetime, and it gives Hill and Langhamer a better platooning situation.

Nice move, I suppose. I guess this means we might see more prospect forwards up with the Coyotes (or more of Fischer/Perlini)

I'll be there Saturday. Wonder if they'll have the Yotes game on in the concourse

 

[RABBIT]

How's Duke doing?

I'm hoping to go tomorrow. Get off work at 5:30 but it's less than ten minutes from the arena. Wife has to come from across town though.

 

[tuxonpups]

Can't make it up tonight, if someone would like a pair of tickets to tonight's RR game at Gila River PM me. - CLAIMED!

Anyone going?

Ima go tonight, can't miss Yotes tomorrow.

 

[tuxonpups]

I'll be up there tomorrow night, booked a room at FOUNDRE for some post game drink and stroll. Practice lines look good with the new guys:

Ranford. Mueller. Fischer.
Bunting. Dauphin. Duclair.
Selleck. Gaudet. Troock.
Olver. MacInnis. Garland.

 

[SniperHF]

Everyone best give Z a big ole cheer tonight/tomorrow.

If they don't move him/waive him to another NHL team for depth I hope they can somehow call him up for a Yotes game at the end of the season.

 

[Matias Maccete]

DeAngelo scratched? I haven't seen him in the first.

 

[TheLegend]

Duclair dangelitis right before the game winner....

 

[kihekah19*]

Pretty incredible for a guy who was nearly invisible for most of the game. The difference was Hill and the crowd was pathetically small.

Saw someone say the attendance was lower than avg attendance in Tucson.

 

[SniperHF]

I'm quite sure that it was based on the pics. Don't think the Coyotes did a good enough job trying to promote the games, they barely started mentioning them on the broadcast a couple weeks ago.

Ticket reps should have called plan holders with offers (mine didn't anyway), they should have had signage in the arena pointing people to the indoor boxoffice to buy tickets.

They did have the Coyotes + RR package deal for a little bit but there wasn't enough notice IMO.

 

[0point1]

They did a horrible job promoting it but still had 4,000 in attendance according to the AHL. The Saturday game looks to have noticeably more.

 

[TheLegend]

Saw someone say the attendance was lower than avg attendance in Tucson.

Only slightly. Average for the year so far is around 4050. Last night was 3950ish.

 

[SniperHF]

Holy **** the traffic situation is horrible. I had easier time at playoff games

Worse traffic experience ever for me.

Well the Roadrunners couldn't clog a cross ice passing lane to save their lives. 3-0 Checkers.
