Tucson Roadrunners Discussion - Western Conference Champions!!

[hbk]

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said a wasn't a little worried, but he's still on track. I just hope he's lifting skating and eating like a madman while being forced to watch shift by shift videos of Joe Thornton. Add some mass to that thin frame and learn how to use it.

He should be watching Jumbo Joe and perlini should be watching Wheeler.

How's the attendance?

How's the attendance?

Averaging 4,077 for 6 home games as of last night (which had 3,409). Includes opening night of 5,711.

Happen to know a guy who’s obsessed in tracking everything there is Coyotes but he’s a bit behind right now.

[moosemeister]

So glad the Runners are playing well

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Strome and Merkley are 1st and 2nd in AHL rookie scoring.

Strome is tied for 1st in ppg for players who have played 10 or more games.

I wonder how long they are destined to stay in the AHL. I'd rather not see them in the cluster that is our NHL team, but eventually they are gonna have to try and make some kind of moves.

 

[Mosby]

For reference, Perlini was recalled Dec. 4 of last year.

Crouse-Strome-Merkley seems to be just killing it based on stats. They need to keep them together for a couple of months and if they maintain that level of chemistry and production they should call the entire line up and play them together.

I agree. Why bring them up now? So we can go from 31st to 31st? Give them the time to fully/over develop. The NHL season is a lost season at this point.

 

[tuxonpups]

Just behind Strome and Merkley, Capobianco is tied for third in team scoring with 7 points and is +7. He's a great puck mover coming out of the zone and finds seams to set guys up in the offensive zone.
The best forward after Strome and Merkley has been Pederson. I remember him being hard on the puck matched up against Strome in the prospects game and he's been getting better each game here. He's shifty in tight on guys and breaks down defenders, great possession player. Really, Garland and Duclair should pay him for lessons. He finishes his chances too, beauty short side goal in tight last night.

Nice, I've been a big capo fan for a while.
