Prospect Info: Bakersfield Condors '23-'24 Thread

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Holy shit

Hoefenmayer smashed that

Condors up 3-2

An absolute bomb, just after Lavoie nearly scored

 

[Senor Catface]

Great
Pickard

Very good
Lavoie (Almost every shift seemed dangerous in the O-zone)

Good
Petrov
Noefenmayer

Fine
Wagner

Meh
Gleason

Pretty invisible
Savoie
Bourgault (But was pretty good with Drake before the injury)

Pretty fun game.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Condors win 3-2

Pickard stood on his head. The team was sloppy in front of him. Some really soft coverage at times

The major bright spots outside of Pickard were Lavoie and Petrov. Lavoie was a bully out there. I love the way he checks. He plays such a heavy game. Petrov played really well. His skill level is undeniable. Showed off his speed and passing game too

 

[Senor Catface]

Only 5 games in October. No bueno.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hopefully Lavoie keeps playing well and working hard. That way if injuries hit he can come up and hit the ground running.

If the forward lines continue to struggle settling in, I wouldn't mind giving him a look in the top 6. Though more likely he'd end up with with Holloway and McLeod on a kid line (something I also like the idea of).

They should've given that a look in the preseason. Hyman and Brown are not extremely skilled guys and can play effectively on the 3rd line if need be. Lavoie has the best shot of all of our bigger wingers with the possible exception of Kane when healthy.

 

[McDNicks17]

Finally another game.



The AHL schedule makers are on crack. Game 2 eight days after the season opener.

 

[Senor Catface]

I wasn't able to watch this game, but I'll get to see the next game which is probably in late December, knowing how the AHL schedules.

Bourgault scored
Lavoie got a point

 

[Stoneman89]

Ontario clubbed them, except on the score. Outshot them 26-9 after 2 periods.

[Bryanbryoil]

Damn, guy hasn't even gotten a 2 way deal.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I assume that's coming as his health and play comes along.

 

[Oilhawks]

Hopefully he gets that two-way soon. This club badly needs veteran leadership (apparently).

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Good point. That said we could really use an impactful 3rd/4th liner. Our bottom 6 is pretty damned vanilla. Either highly skilled or fast and furious!

 

[BarDownBobo]

Least things went well on the farm tonight. Three points for Pederson, 2 goals for Lavoie, 2 assists for both Borgault and Gagner, first pro goal for Grubbe and 31 saves for Rodrigue.

They might have beaten the Oilers tonight. I'm only half joking.

There's the solution. Send down the entire NHL club, call up the AHL club. The results can't get any worse.

 

[Shizuka]

They can't even bring any of these guys up, because that stupid senile f***ing GM tied up the cap with heavily overcompensated FA signings or RFA re-signings. So even if these guys play well, they won't get a well earned shot. We're seeing the f***ing incompetence unravel right before our eyes. Just unbelievable.

 

[fireantz]

You could send down Erne or Brown and call up Lavoie or anyone on Condors roster. But Holland would only consider Holloway or Broberg!!!

 

[Giggleplex]

Highlights from last night's game

 

[Senor Catface]

Those Lavoie goals were something else.

Probably a good idea to let him overrippen for at least 5 more years.

 

[MoontoScott]

Some posters in the pre-season said that Rodrigue had made some strides. Perhaps they were right and if so that could create some interesting possibilities.

Brown for Lavoie swap-- before the big bonus kicks it? That would take some guts but maybe a message needs to be sent. I can't see it though--Kenny just doesn't do things like that.

Sounds like you are set to replace Kenny in the big chair.

We can swap Ernie for Lavoie?

Yeh, I know what you are thinking. Ernie can be explosive-- so its a significant risk.

Swapping Erne for Pederson would be the non-brainer here but somehow Holland can't even reach no-brain level of competency.
