Barracuda News and Discussion Part 4

Sommer pregame suggested that the guys aren't working hard enough to get the wins.

Is Chartier injured?

Wiederer too?

 

[OffSydes]

Sommer pregame suggested that the guys aren't working hard enough to get the wins.

They should hire someone who is responsible for that.

The comeback win against Stockton today was a nice step in the right direction. Unfortunately though there have been some weird defensive lapses the last couple of weeks, and today was no different, hence the need for a comeback in the first place.

Too many breakaways/2-on-1s being given up, and too many opponents getting wide open in front of the net. Blown defensive coverage is becoming a major problem.

DeSimone seems to be having quite a year with the Cuda so far. 37 points in 53 game as a D-man is not too shabby.

Sounds like the Sharks in the first quarter of the season

Korenar still looks like he should be playing peewee hockey.

 

[LadyStanley]

Bibeau first off the ice today. Thinking he might start Saturday

Chartier came out in sweats and skated late in practice.

 

[LadyStanley]

And little Jonathan jr on the ice this morning. So cute

 

[LadyStanley]

Dahlen didn't play after first period
Nothing announced

 

[Lebanezer]

Sounds like another concussion for Chartier. He may need to call it quits for his health going forward.

 

[LadyStanley]

Dahlen out injured today. Fonts steps in. Korenar scheduled to start

Beauty of a game. Everyone looked fantastic, especially Viel and Korenar .

Gregoire got his first, and then his second 59 seconds later. Also had an assist, was +6 on the day. Crazy game for him.

Radil and Hensick both with 1G/2A as well, Cavan Fitzgerald of all people with a breakaway goal late in the first, he was everywhere it seemed like. Great win, Cuda just never let up today.

One of the interesting things I heard from Sommer in pregame interview....

Nollen was asking/telling him about scoring droughts. So he went in and asked guys about their shooting. Many had had zero shots in previous games. So they came out shooting in the game yesterday. And it boded well for their offense.

Apparently Barracuda have signed G Zachary Sawchenko to an AHL deal for 2 years

Looks like Cuda have signed a new goalie.

Looks like Cuda have signed a new goalie.

So does this pretty much mean that one of Bibeau or Korenar is up on the Sharks roster next season?

 

[Gecklund]

I could see them trading Dell to make some cap space and then bringing in a vet like Hutchinson, Mrazek, Miller, etc. on a PTO and then letting Bibeau/Korenar/PTO battle it out.

 

[Hobocop]

It doesn't mean much of anything for next season. Sawchenko could easily be in the ECHL all year.

The tweet that LS had quoted said 2 year AHL deal. I wasn't sure if that meant that they can be sent down to the ECHL or not.

Yeah, they can. You never know, but to me this is more about the Barracuda adding some depth for the playoffs and beyond.

I'm almost surprised they didn't add a goalie on one of these contracts sooner.

Zach Sawchenko signs with AHL's San Jose Barracuda | Golden Bears and Pandas Athletics
