2019-20 San Diego Gulls

[Duck Off]

I love Dostie's work ethic, but think his size is going to keep him an AHL player.

met him at the gym when he was assigned to the echl team last season. cool laid back dude. looks like he's 8 years old though. made me feel old af. Any time a prospect is assigned to the echl, it's hard for me to think they'll ever amount to much in the NHL, but he's done well in the ahl this year so here's hoping. Ollie has been complete ass for the Oilers (ECHL team) this year though.

AHL TV isn't exactly reliable. I'm sure it will be back up soon... hopefully

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

There it is. Probably the same idiot who was talking to his wife on the phone instead of playing the intermission highlights.

Terry doesn't seem to be skating at 100%, but man, he can pretty much stickhandle around any player 1 on 1 in open ice. He helped set up Carrick's goal to make the score 2-1 in favor of Iowa.

Hard to skate on the toothpicks/legs we see in the pic above.

Terry just standing still dangling everyone, he looks slow as f***, looks like he's not even trying.

 

[duxfan1101]

Terry sends Mahura on a breakaway to win the game in OT. Mahura had 3 points and he was excellent.

 

[pbgoalie]

Are those Terry’s legs or is he sitting on a chicken?

 

[bsu]

Terry is too good for the AHL even with 1 knee. He was standing still all game and still stick handling around people.

 

[duxfan1101]

1. Gulls up 2-1 after 1 with goals from Gates and Terry.
2. I would like 5 of these jerseys please.

Good, Terry can build his confidence off of that game.

When Grant is back, Steel needs a trip to SD too.

This is exactly the thing I was going to comment about jumping out at me about Terry's return -- his puck-handling skills are not only obvious, but his confidence in getting fancy with them, at least at the AHL level, is also CLEAR in these two games back. There were multiple times Friday and Saturday night in which it was like watching someone at a skills practice. It didn't always go his way, but his sense of getting stick on puck looked near-preternatural. I'm hoping this will only continue to develop for him -- and I'll miss him significantly once this conditioning stint is over. I even made the joke tonight "I think the Ducks might call him up before they come back for the third period...".

We'll take him whenever!

Terry is so good, I have no clue why he has problems adapting to the NHL. Smaller players with less talent can, so what is holding him back?

Physical strength, not able to dangle by NHL defensemen like he can in AHL, doesn't look for his shot very often.

Not to mention the successful NHL players who are smaller/weaker than Terry are usually much quicker.

Yeah, Terry has good footwork but his first step is just average and top speed isn't great either. If you're going to be no faster than Ryan Getzlaf you'd better be no smaller, either.
