VI. Texas Stars (AHL) Discussion

How did Guptill look?

How did Guptill look?

Minus 2 and terrible.

(Ps. I only watch the score sheet)

 

[K19*]

Nice to see Faksa get 3 points. Did anyone see the game?

 

[Bluesoma]

Watched most of the game but missed a good portion. It's also harder to evaluate players with the crappy ahl streaming.

I didn't even notice Guptill (missed both goals against stupid stream).

New to Stars hockey. From a quick read of this thread and from what I know about some of the guys it looks like Campbell, Ritchie, Oleksiak & Faksa are the top prospects for promotion to the big team in the next couple of years. Am I right on these 4? What about the others-who do you guys think should/could be brought up?

Saw my first game a few weeks ago, plan on catching more next year.

 

[TangoMcBride]

Klingberg, McKenzie and Guptill are all names to keep an eye on. Klingberg especially. We have high hopes that he can eventually become a high level PMD and PP QB.

Ritchie should be up next year, imo.

Oleksiak should be the #1 D callup.

Campbell should be the #1 G callup and very off chance be the backup.

Faksa will be up in a year.

There are three guys in my opinion who should be in the running for roster spots next year.

Alex Guptill: work ethic issues but an offseason with Willie might help with that. Huge talent, but we'll see if he can get his intensity level up enough for the pros.

Curtis McKenzie: Big guy with soft hands around the net. Something Dallas sorely lacks.

John Klingberg: Great RH puck moving D. Great skater, not overly physical but he's got some talent and we hope he contributes to the org sooner rather than later.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Give Campbell one more year as a starter then backup in 15-16.

 

[BigG44]

Unless Faksa blows up next year, Nill mentioned he was 2 years away. He said that at some point this season, but I don't recall when. I just specifically remember him saying 2 years at least.

 

[BigG44]

Campbell had a great game. I don't care how this SO goes ... Campbell gets another shootout, and he looks dialed in.

There's no question in my mind who the number 1 is right now, and who needs the net in the playoffs.

 

[BigG44]

Probably jinxed him in the SO, but ....

Sean Shapiro ‏@seanshapiro

Campbell now has a .949 save percentage, 1.32 GAA, 4 shutouts & 12-1-2 record in 15 GP. #txstars

 

[Johno]

He seems to be coming along great. Maybe we won't have to worry about the time after Kari, after all.

Goatlender is the only roster spot we're pretty much set for. Especially with how long good ones play and how good the ones we have are.

 

[BigG44]

... and he might be the 2nd best goalie prospect in the organization. Team is very high on Desrosiers, and he's getting national attention as well.

Dallas' situation in goal couldn't be better. Great guy in the NHL, great guy in the AHL, and a very good young one that will be AHL ready in a year about the time Campbell is seriously pushing for the NHL.

I don't trust goats or the people who lend them.

Its amazing what a couple of years can do.

Two seasons ago we had Raycroft and Beskowany with Campbell a big question mark after a rough junior career.

Don't be ridiculous, goaltending is the backbone of the global economy.

Butt.....

And guys thanks for the intro to the top prospects

I love the fact the other guy auto corrected to goat lending and yours to goal tending when you each meant to type the other

I miss Balki is that on Netflix or Hulu, I think I'm going to find out today

 

[BigG44]

Good for Campbell:

Owen Newkirk ‏@OwenNewkirk

Just discovered that Jack Campbell has broken the @TexasStars franchise shutout streak record. He has not allowed a goal in his last 172:37!

Autocorrect?

No sir.

Oh, so you really think the Stars are set at Goat lender, or just a typo instead of an auto correct. Because I see our prospects as more the goat shepherdy type, with maybe one or two surprise goat scorers in the bunch

 

[Brand New Stars]

Autocorrect?

No sir.

But seriously...who uses autocorrect? It never helps.
