Bridgeport Sound Tigers Discussion 2019-20 Pt. III

[MJF]

Phantoms all 8 goals were even strength I believe

I think you’re right. 2 penalties in the game were both on Lehigh Valley IIRC

 

[MJF]

Full disclosure, I haven’t made it to a Sound Tiger game this year but from what I saw last year, Wotherspoon was nothing special. MVS, Aho and Hutton (limited games) looked like they had far more potential.

Seems like he’s not only lost stature in the organization but he’s also lost any value as a trading chip.

Wotherspoon handles the puck like it’s a live grenade. Pressure him and he’ll cough it up. He’s a turnover machine. He doesn’t skate well enough to be a good defender. He has a nice wrist shot but that’s about it.

It’s a shame about Vande Sompel. He’ll have missed about a season and a half due to injuries the last 2 years. Who knows what he could have been.

 

[19 in a row]

had heard Hickey and Clutterbuck playing tonight. BST have games tonight and tomorrow so curious if anyone who sees the games could give us any updates.

Wondering Clutter's timetable now . if he plays two conditioning games this weekend do we see him Tuesday vs the Rangers or in St Louis Thursday.

Is this Hickeys first game back?

yes

Holmstrom just scored his 8th of the year and game tying goal.

He's gonna be our Pastrnak

Wotherspoon with 3 assists for the night.

I saw a good bit of Pastrnak as a 16-18-year old (ironically, as he was playing in Sweden).

And I think you're not far off here in the sense that there are many similarities to their game at that age.

May the hockey Gods hear your plea.

I don't want to get into comparables, but I always thought the Islanders went for Holmstrom with the idea that if he stays healthy he has a higher ceiling than Tomassino. Kind of a medium risk-high reward scenario with a mid-late round 1st.

Damn! Why do we always go for the lesser brother?

Worked out with the Reinharts?

Not only as he has scored a bit more recently you can tell he is figuring it out over here he is more and more noticeable every night.

Agreed and I hope Holmstrom keeps it going this weekend. I am thinking about trying to catch the Saturday game against the Wolfpack.

Draft experts here called Holmstrom a bust already. Glad to here he is progressing well but patience is not a virtue with some fans here.

And that likely closes the book on Josh Ho-Sang’s Islanders career.

He's already off the BP website. That was quick. Don't f*** with Lou, kid.

I noticed that Fritz is still there. Is he just out for the year with injuries? He's never been a consideration for a call up.

 

[Volek25]

Can anyone clarify what this means? Says he was loaned to the Blues affiliate, so was he traded completely or given away, not sure I've head this scenario before?

Been injured basically all season. Don't think he's coming back this season.

For him, a REALLY bad year to miss out. He might have had a real shot at some point and instead, guys like Bardreau got the call.

He's still Islander property.

I believe he still get's paid by the Islanders.

But the team opens a roster spot and this move may also mean that the organization just doesn't want him hanging around our other kids at the moment.

Fritz has been injured for all but the first 4 games of the year.

We Assigned his contract to another AHL team. Ho-Sang remains our property and we’re paying him.

BST recalled a forward from Worcester earlier this week. Forget who it was though.

 

[Volek25]

And I believe JHS was on a 1 year qualifying offer, so safe to say he's not getting qualified next year....wonder what that means for his NHL (if any) possibilities, you'd figure someone takes a chance on him in training camp. Disappointed the kid couldn't figure it out, frustrating because he has so much skill, but clearly Islanders, Lou, Barry, etc aren't buying it....

"How's JHS?"
"Oh, JHS? You won't see him no more."
