Prospect Info: Bakersfield Condors '17-18 Thread

[Draiskull]

With the Condors having a PP that's ~35%, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Did you check the PP stats of Oilers this year? The big club is currently 4th in the league at 36%.

 

[Arpeggio]

Considering that they hired Viverios who is a well know PP guru and they continue to run McLellan’s same set up from last season with 5LH & 5RH, I would not be surprised if your statement is 100% correct.

When was that the setup last year? Strome was on that unit once Letestu left, was he not? Nice to see both PPs rolling right now.

Would love to see Hebig make the team for his name. Was completely unaware that he was in the organization. But seems more likely that Marody or Benson would be the first call ups.

 

[ElFossum]

Glad to see Hebig off to a good start in his pro career. He was a treat to watch in Saskatoon for so long.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Condors lose 5-4 to the Eakins lead **** birds I mean Seagulls.

2-1-3 for Marody, 2 assists for Benson and a goal for Hebig.

 

[jlockhart89]

Any word on why Bear wasn’t in the lineup?

 

[McDNicks17]

They out-shot the Shitbirds 49 to 23.

Might be time to just bring up that Benson-Marody-Hebig line and play them as the 4th line haha.

It’s the first time in forever we have a truly promising core of young forwards in the AHL.

More like the 2nd or 3rd line

 

[Senor Catface]

Yeah, Marody and Benson might be viable call-up options this year if we're looking for a spark of offense in the bottom 6.

Over their two seasons Marody has 9 points in 8 games, Benson has 8 points in 10 games.

Good to see some prospects translate to the AHL, finally.

Haha... ha..

... ha...

*really thinks about it*

Honestly I wouldn’t hate it at all next year. Offload Kassian, Brodziak is 13th forward.

 

[McDNicks17]

Skinner up to Bako, Starrett down to Wichita.

Interesting. How has Skinner fared in the ECHL?

Really well.

3 wins, 2.53 GAA and .928 SV% in 3 games.

Nice. Good rebound after an exceptionally poor rookie camp.

Can't remember who said it, but there was someone saying something along the lines that in Junior you have 1 or 2 opposing players that can really shoot the puck. Once you hit the pros damn near everyone has a shot.

Getting use to the fact that there aren't a lot of easy shots to stop can be tough for younger goalies. That's probably why some can have so much confidence in junior and then fall apart once they become pros.

Pretty much this. Most grown men if given enough time and space can fire off a pretty good shot. 16 and 17 year old kids compared to NHL level talents is a huge leap.

It was such a simple point, but one I never really thought about. Your confidence might be down in a Junior game, but there is a very good chance that you'll get those weaker shots to regain it. Pro, you lose your confidence it's up to you to step up and regain it on your own

 

[McDNicks17]

They also called up Jared Wilson with Skinner.

Lanky Calgary kid. Seems like a defensive defenseman with a big shot.

Signed out of RPI last year. Off to a good start in the ECHL this year(3 assists in 4 games). Might be an interesting AHL option.

I’m 6 feet tall, 230 pounds, and a terrible skater but if left alone I can wire it pretty good, both wrist and slap shot. 16 and 17 year olds just don’t have the mass to put behind their shot.

Confidence is a big thing too. I’m glad he shook off his poor rookie camp.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Bakersfield slapping around the Heat again. 5-1 in the 2nd. Skinner in his first AHL start.

 

[replacement]

It's now 6-1, Day, Vesel, Gust, have all stood out a lot.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Bakersfield slapping around the Heat again. 5-1 in the 2nd. Skinner in his first AHL start.

6-1 midway through the 2nd. Jone and Benson with an assist each, Vesel, Malone, Day and Gust all with 1-1-2 so far.

 

[McDNicks17]

Logan Day is starting to look like a pretty good signing.

He was the other Division 3 guy signed along with Larkin.

4 points in 5 games now.

While mass has some effect on a shot, technique plays a much larger part IMO, not everyone who weighs 240 can wire the puck like Ovechkin.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

One thing a guy cannot fault Chiarelli for is overstocking the prospect cupboard. Happy to hear the Condors are filling the net against the Flames' second coming of _______________ (insert name of any HHoF goalie here).
