Barracuda News & Discussion - Part 5

[Hobocop]

Couple quotes from Bonneau on the two guys that seem to get asked about most.

Chekhovich is starting to come around a bit, but he's still a ways off the level I think most were expecting out of him. Kind of a write-off of a year for him, I'm just hoping he keeps his upward momentum going into next season.

I guess Roy is a forward now? He's not awful at it. It's just bizarre.

How is Roys skating?

How is Roys skating?

He was known to be an average skater before his knee injuries. Expect he is about the same.

The thing that interests me is how Carrick's stats look. He had a really slow start to the season but now is 2nd in points (19) by D only behind Gregoire (23). Also, Carrick is a team leading +13 in +/-. Gregoire on the other hand is a -3.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

Carrick looks like the best defenseman on the Cuda to me. I’m not sure why Middleton gets called up ahead of him. Roy looked slow, but like I posted earlier, he was a hesitant and I’m not sure how much that played into him looking slow.

BARRACUDA RECALL LANGAN FROM ORLANDO | San Jose Barracuda

Recall Tuesday

 

[Hobocop]

Yurtaykin got injured on a ridiculous hit from Ryan Stanton tonight. Stanton charged in, left his feet and drilled him. Right in front of the official with no call. Jaw-droppingly awful officiating tonight all around.

Keaton also picked up an injury of some kind which I couldn't figure out. Skated on his own to the locker room twice and stayed back there for the third.

 

[LadyStanley]

I suspect the league will fine Mr Stanton for that hit.

That no call on Stanton was horrible. Both referees had a rough night. Who knew Dan Kelly would retire and find something he sucked at more than hockey... :/ And, can't let the linesmen off the hook either. They were awful. The one icing call where the Barracuda player had at least 6 feet on the Reign player was SO bad. I think he closed his eyes when the players skated by and guessed who was going to make it first.

Cuda had opportunities to go up early. Heeled a couple, and the goaltender made a couple of good saves. It could have easily been 2 or 3 nothing in our favor in the first 7 or 8 minutes, I thought.

It seems that Sund is coming over.

Well, we could definitely use him in the AHL. The Barracuda defense is incredibly thin right now.

Though I've been pleasantly surprised by Michael Downing, the ECHL d-man we've had on a PTO right now. He's been doing a competent job back there.

It also says he plans to try to make the sharks next year but I dont think he really stands a chance. He was probably the worst D man defensively I saw in the preseason this year and had a much worse year offensively in Finland

Do you guys think Yurtaikin could be a decent NHLer eventually, or is he just an AHL/NHL tweener?

I see nothing in him that makes me think he will stick which probably means he plays too 4 minutes for the send in a few years
