Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) / Maine Mariners (ECHL) 2018-19: Part IX

[GeorgeKaplan]

Pack blew a late 3-1 lead and lost in OT.

New year, same pack

 

[Edge]

He has been doing the same thing over and over, year after year, at every level. It's a great thing to see. In my opinion, the goals he scores are very easy to reproduce at a higher level. He just always knows where to be

The ability to play a game that has a higher probability of working in the pros is such an under-valued attribute.

When you look at the Rangers top forward prospects, they’re all different, but they all bring styles that are more pro-style. Andersson, Chytil, Howden and Kravtsov aren’t necessarily kids you need to spend considerable time “untraining.”

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Andersson’s goal

 

[Edge]

Bigras has certainly done well since the Rangers acquired him last year. Former Avs #2 pick (#32 overall) Any strong opinions out there about him?

Personally, I think he’s more closely resembled the prospect he was prior to his injuries. He’s a been a tremendous addition to The Pack.

I feel like if people weren’t focusing on ADA and Pionk, and to a lesser extent Lindgren and Day, we’d be intrigued by the possibility of Bigras having a future with this team. He’s kind of lost in the shuffle, but I think he’s definitely the first call-up on defense and I’d really like to take an extended look at the NHL level.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

nice to see Gettinger doing well 4 points in 4 games.

Gropp 1 point in 4 games, why not trade him for another team's struggling prospect so they have a fresh start?

Fogarty, Adndersson and Bigras also got 4 points in 4 games.

Gropp isn't just struggling, he's showing the same major deficiencies in his game that he did last year. I'm sure any team that has scouted him is aware of that as well. We could trade him for some nothing prospect or just ride it out with him and see if the ability to find space and make decisions more quickly is something we can coach into him. For me, it's a six of one, half-dozen of the other type of thing.

It’s nice seeing some good call up options once they trade off pieces at the deadline

Another swing and a miss from Gordie. Didn't he say that Gropp was ranked his 6th forward on his draft board for that year? Yikes.

Glad to see the AHL is still recording games using a potato.

Glad to see the AHL is stilling recording games using a potato.

The replays are shitty, but when you watch it live on AHLtv it's way clearer. They definitely need to fix their audio, though.

If true, that is utterly ridiculous.

[GAGLine]

Pack needs to learn how to close out these games. 4-0 lead with about 3 minutes left. Game ends 4-3.

 

[Osminator]

Not even going to talk about the final 3 minutes lol... Mazanec skated off real pissed hahaha, avoided the ritual goalie mob after the win, straigh to the lockerroom. 2 points is 2 points. Take it and run... and please no more P-Bruins... 3 of the first 5 vs. the Bruins... dafuq?

Is AV coaching in Hartford?

 

[Irishguy42]

I feel like Hartford has had an issue for the past several years in regards to holding multi-goal leads in the final 5 minutes of regulation.

 

[Black Aces]

Was at the game. Lias looked quite good. Really nice finish on the goal. He had one bad turnover that led to a partial break that was stopped.

Hajek can really move his feet. He made a bad pinch that led to the 2nd providence goal.

The parent club has had it's issues as well.
