Recalled/Assigned: Alex Tuch Assigned to Iowa (2/9/17)

[Minnesota]

Excited to see what this kid can do in the NHL

I expect to see this GIF posted numerous times after he scores his first goal tomorrow.

 

[Uberdachen]

I'd probably agree with you, if it wasn't for BB so publically calling him out. If he's been bad because he's fighting an injury. I don't think BB would be on him like he is in the press.

Guess I missed where he did that. Well! No excuses for your subordinate uterus, Coyle!

I expect the same celebration after he scores his first goal tomorrow.

I would flip out

For comparison, same age on a much better team Coyle put up 25 points in 47 games. Power Forwards take longer. Tuch is right on track for the top 9 scoring power forward he will become.

What kind of ice time was Coyle getting on that team? I can't seem to find that for some reason.

 

[Nharris31]

When you put it like that, it does sound much better.

He has also been injured.

I can't say for certain, but my recollection is that the 1st line was Zucker-Granlund-Coyle

Instant favorite player.

Lines as per Russo..

Parise- Staal- Tuch
Zucker - Koivu - Granny
Niederreiter - Haula - Pommers
Stewart- Graovac- Coyle

Coyle off the powerplay, Nino on top unit and Zucks getting time on the 2nd.. Definitely a chance for Tuch to prove himself, seems like Parise is finally clicking a bit again here. Message has been sent to Coyle so hopefully Tuch can send a message to the organization, would be an awesome problem to have!

Wow, big shot for the kid. Interested to see how he does.

Oh, and welcome to HFWild

 

[MBTendy]

Love watching Coyle play (I feel dirty saying that given the little rivalry we got), sucks he's slumping this bad. He was killing it this year.

 

[StateofCelly]

Oh, and welcome to HFWild

Thank you! I have been here for awhile, just finally decided to get on and start posting! Consider me the call up, hopefully both Tuch and I can stick haha

I like those lines a lot. Hopefully this wakes Coyle up a little.

Also, welcome!

I wonder what # he'll be sporting?

 

[Sarge58]

Im glad that we called him up, but like most players it will take time to adjust to the NHL. Im not expecting much to start.

Although I'm hoping for the best I agree with you we should temper any expectations as he's a big power forward which traditionally takes a bit longer for them to mature (a la Nino). We'll see.

The good 'ol #55 once again delivers on the humorous side.

I agree in general but we as a fan base have no real barometer for how fast a power forward will develop on BB and if we use Yeo it could be said they never really developed at all. I dont think he is going to light the world on fire today but I think we will see him achieve higher levels of success faster under BB than we have seen with our other power forwards.

That would be a beaut

I wanted us to draft him before the draft as you can tell by my avatar and I agree his style and growth will be much better served under BB's tutelage.

Tuch is wearing #53

 

[57special]

Well, that's no fun.

 

[MK9]

Tuch is wearing #53

Weird. Doesn't he wear 17 in Iowa? No one on the Wild currently wears it, wonder why he didn't keep that?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Still not a big fan of his foot speed, but he'll be a monster down low and around the net.

 

[gphr513]

Thought he looked pretty good tonight. Not out of place at all.

We have a 5th round pick playing in Europe who wears #17.
