Bridgeport Sound Tigers Discussion 2018-19

[DerekKingSnipes]

Does anyone have Koivula’s faceoff %? AHL stats are not very in depth.

I’m not sure they keep it at ahl level I’ve never seen it even in arena. He seems ok on draws just thinking about the games I was at, he is very good defensively I’ve said before down low in both zones he is very good at using his size and strength.

I think they re-sign Filppula and try to transition Koivula throughout the next season (similar to how they are transitioning prospects this season).

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Just bought tickets through the Isles Meetup CLT group for $1.25 a piece for next Tuesday against the Checkers!

Pumped to see JHS, Otto, Kieffer, Aho and the gang.

He has earned it. I love weird frans

Sound tigers playing tonight. 7pm est. Anyone can watch for free this month. Everyone tune in. Ho sang is playing and Otto K is on fire! Also S aho is looking like a future stud.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

Ho Sanger with an apple on his first shift. 23pts 27 AHL games. Ho sang = first player to 20pt mark in the AHL this season

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

Ho sang with a crappy play in the D zone, but smith saves his butt with two incredible saves.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

Ho sang having a really bad period, despite his 1 apple. A bad giveaway, doing lots of gliding and watching. Kid needs to get his head out of his behind and stop feeling sorry for himself.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

Rathgeb with a nice goal. Ho sang with another assist. Ho sang with two apples on the night but honestly has had a bad game. Dogging it too much for me.

 

[SI90]

Nice to see HoSang produce in his first game game back.

Yes he definitely sulked a bit tonight without puck, he is better than this level when he has the puck. Rathgeb has a bomb of a shot and he is basically the 5th prospect on the Bridgeport defense.

 

[MJF]

Islanders-Rags, then Sound Tigers-Wolfpack nightcap. That’s a cool NHL-AHL doubleheader.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Was at the game last night, they didn't play very well. Gibby looked good in the cage in a 1-0 loss.

As part of that Isles Meetup CLT group we got to go down to the tunnel before the second period. Some guys didn't care much for us Isles fans but there were a few that were all about it. Kieffer was pumped up about it and JHS was all smiles and made sure he fist bumped every fan.

Otto is ENORMOUS and showed off some slick hands. As others have mentioned, skating needs to be improved as he was definitely on the slower side.

Edit- Also, Kieffer was the last guy out of the tunnel and spoke to each player as they went out on the ice. Nice to see him taking a leadership role although he isn't wearing the "C."

Makes sense, they are without a few key players (Toews/MDC/Aho/Bernier). I’m curious to see how much Koivula can improve his skating this offseason. The overwhelming consensus from the scouts and fans seems to be that his skating is the main thing keeping him from becoming a legit NHLer. The size, skill, and smarts seem to be there.

So here is a first for me. I am looking at the Sound Tigers schedule and noticed they are playing Charlotte in Charlotte, where they played last night. I don't think I have ever scene back to back at the same teams arena? Saves on travel I guess.

Happens all the time in the AHL on trips like that.

Yeah, since they don't fly it makes the scheduling easier.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

4-1 tigers losing. Smith was pulled from net.

Ho sang having a dog of a game. Kid is gliding, doing one footed leg tapping cross overs turning around to back check like it's a pick up game.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

5-3 tigers 2nd intermission.

matt Gaudreau with 2 apples and playing great

JHS with a great last shift and an assist.

tigers give up goal with 8 secs left

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

6-4 tigers take an L. Ho sang with 2 assists.

So I take it JHS played well.

Bridge needs some Toews
Seriously, some better G.

Aho is also hurt, and he's a big key to their D.

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

So I take it JHS played well.

JHS had good moments and some great shifts. But he also had some stinkers. There was one super lazy back check where he was skating with one foot (extra lazy play). Things like that are his problem. Too much watching, bad turn overs and lazy plays.

I saw it many years ago when the Sound Tigers played back-to-back in Norfolk. I believe there was a day's rest in between.

Was interesting, because I was asked to do some interviews, which then didn't get published (although they were paid for).

The guys I interviewed a the time:
Norfolk - Panik, Gudas, Conacher, Janus, Ashton, Tokarski, Trevor Smith (former Sound Tiger)
Bridgeport - de Haan, Donovan, Poulin, Cizikas, Wishart

It was interesting. They split the series.
