2018-19 AHL Affiliate San Diego Gulls

[HansH]

What happened to Terry ?

He tangled awkwardly with a Condor late in the game and was in obvious pain as they worked on him on the bench before taking him to the locker room. Looked like it could have been a shoulder injury - not sure of the degree, but he didn't return to the game.

That's less than optimal for a squad who have been missing Fiore for a few games (he took what looked like a puck to the wrist a few games ago and hasn't been back on the ice), and lost Megna for the game in the first period (rumors say leg injury).

This is why you always turn injuries off before starting a season.

Wednesday night will be the first AHL game of Luke Schenn's career. He went into the Leafs lineup right away after he was drafted 5th overall in 2008 and has now appeared in 716 NHL games.

 

[HansH]

Gulls have called up two defensemen from ECHL Tulsa... this could be a problematic night for them, even though Ontario is in last in the Pacific at the moment. We haven't seen Oleksy in the lineup for a while, and I'm not sure if that's a coach's decision (limited vet spots) or injury.

Makes me really love this kid that he has taken his demotion and making something positive out of it

This brings a tear to my eye

 

[Masch78]

And they have blown the lead.

Max Jones: 10 gp , 3 g, 8 pts, 8 pim and +6
Troy Terry: 10 gp, 7 g, 15 pts, 0 pim, +4
Sam Steel : 6 gp, 1 g, 4 pts , 4 pim, -2
Isac Lundeström: 3 gp, 0 g, 3pts, 0 pim, -1

 

[Kalv]

Terry is already their best scorer, lol.

Gotta admit Jones has started better than expected.
I think las time we had even close so many exciting new forward prospects in the AHL was when we had Maroon-Bonino-Palmieri line in Norfolk. But this situation has a potential to be so much better.
Terry seems to have that game breaking ability, his skill is so smooth. The goal against the Reign posted above, he makes that little move before dishing the puck in five hole. With his ability to open peoples legs [insert a sexual joke]

Terry's got 15 points, not 8.

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

Strenght? Confidence? I think some mix of both and some other elements. College to NHL is a much bigger step than College to AHL. But we have to be patient with him, he has some serious potential.

 

[paine]

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

He lacked confidence.

 

[Kalv]

Btw IIRC Terrys 10 game point streak is longest in Gulls (short) history. He has registered at least a point in all games so far, he`s not just feasting on some bad teams

 

[Paul4587]

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

He needs to bulk up significantly and up his defensive game. Also for some reason the puck was exploding off his stick every time he touched it, that’s probably a nerves thing.

Yeah I would say the current threesome (Terry, Steel and Lundestrkm) down there is probably ahead of the Palmieri trio. Palms was the best prospect of the lot of them but Steel and Terry both have higher upside than Bonino (Steel
Imo significantly higher) and Lundestrom should project to be a better player than Maroon.

 

[Masch78]

Thought Steel would produce more. But the season is young.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

This thought reminded me of a former center prospect we had (I've forgotten his name). He was very good at the AHL, but it never translated to the NHL. I think we traded him to Toronto. Oh what was his name? (took me a long minute... Peter Holland, selected 15th overall in the 2009 NHL draft)

 

[Masch78]

Holland produced on a lower level than Kossila in the AHO, never had a sensational junior season and was streaky as hell. Sam should based on his power play ability alone score more.

He will, give it time. I imagine Steels production will start to go up and Terry’s will probably come down slightly as their sample size of games increases.

 

[AngelDuck]

Jones is nice. He’s fast and has nice hands. I’m thinking Chris Kreider

More agitating than Kreider I would Kreider mixed with Matthew Tkachuk

Wouldn't mind seeing Jones get a look if we sell off some wingers at the deadline.

 

[Trojans86]

I have no clue why Troy had such problems to score in the NHL.

He clearly had skill and creativity but struggled when time and space were taken away and when battling with stronger defensemen along the boards. I expect him to be a top 6 winger as he gets bigger and stronger. He looks like he is 15 out there.

 

[duxfan1101]

After a little bit of research, it looks like Comtois' conditioning stint is actually for 14 days, not 3 games. I believe his conditioning started on the 10th, which means either today or tomorrow is his last day. Thus, he is in the Gulls' lineup tonight:

EDIT: Fiore sniped the first goal of the game
