Prospect Info: Bakersfield Condors '21 | GO CRAZY CONDORSTOWN! Perched Atop The Pacific!

[Dazed and Confused]

Confidence is a big thing. I think Skinner is having the same boost as Starrett had a few years back.

He's spent the first month of the season practicing with NHL shooters, a clear step up from the usual AHL talent.

Exact same thing happened with Starrett after he travelled with the team to Europe back in 2018.

I think winning that first NHL game helped too. Yeah it wasn’t a masterpiece. He was clearly nervous to start, but after the first period I think he settled down a bit.

Someone mentioned in the last two periods he had something like a .917 save percentage.

Any word on Tullio and if he's going to get any minutes in Bakersfield?
The tweet a while back said he was assigned to Bakersfield but he's not signed to a pro contract as far as I know so how is this going to work?

Scott Wheeler had a great article today about Tulio's journey all the way from minor hockey to Slovakia. In it he said that Tulio had a stay in Arizona before flying to Bakersfield on March 3rd. So i'd expect to start seeing him practice pretty soon at least.

Tyler Benson with 3 assists. In the first period. BAK up 3-0 on the Reign so far, 2 goals for Marody, 1 for McLeod.

*edit* They've taken away one assist from Benson on the first goal. Top line tearing it up tonight.

 

[Llamamoto]

McLeod with 1+2 as well, and Skinner with another perfect period.

[GrinningBuddha]

Benson adds 1+1 in the 2nd for 4 points, McLeod with 1+3 and Marody with the hattie. 5-0. Grosenik in net for the Reign, we may have dodged a bullet there.

I find several players on the farm that would be way more serviceable than the plugs we have in the NHL team aka Turris.

Benson and McLeod maybe. Still not sure that Marody has what it takes although it's great seeing him putting up points again.

I love how Marody roofed that one in tight.

 

[Senor Catface]

Well, looks like the offensive side of things has leveled off after an improbably inept start to the year. Suddenly you have several players that look like they're putting up good years.

Benson 9 points 7 games
Marody 6 goals 9 games
McLeod 6 points 9 games

 

[Senor Catface]

And honestly, how does the AHL have a website that updates it's stats 100 times faster than the NHL.

I love how as soon as a player put up a point in a game, its updated right away on his player page and other places. None of this 4-5 hours later stuff like the NHL

Yeah a big game will do that to some stats. Too bad that Skinner got beat 3 times in the 3rd, but he still came out of the game with a 0.912sv% and sports a 0.927sv% on the season so far.

Clean hit

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Clean hit. It's the post hit followthrough with his elbow that makes it look worse than it was.

 

[Rafters]

Maybe a new version of the Bulldog line that all get a real shot at the NHL together. Could see Benson-McCleod-Marody being an effective 4th line next year.

Be interesting to see if Benson and Marody have improved their skating. It is what is holding them back right now.

NHL>>>>>AHL

NHL>>>>>AHL

McLeod/Benson >>>>> Turris

But but Benson and Mcleod are probably throwaways right?

Benson needs to make his mark and soon. McLeod still has some time to make it happen, but for Benson it needs to happen very soon.

How can Benson make a mark in the NHL when he doesn't get an opportunity? He's been over a ppg for almost 2.5 seasons but he's only been allowed to play 7 games

He has yet to finish an AHL season with ppg let alone ppg +. He needs to keep working on his skating and goalscoring and FORCE the team to call him up or at least have him in their plans for next season. This season is harder than most because of the covid quarantine, but if he can get to 1.5 ppg he should definitely warrant a shot.

Great hit. Atta boy.
