Speculation: Hershey Bears/South Carolina Stingrays 2019-2020 Vol. 1

[Sam Spade]

Plus Fever, as mobile as he is, seems like the must logical choice to try and move and have it actually be successful.

Adds to the further confusion surrounding Sutter and whether he's actually healthy or not.

Liam with a little footy action

Sutter back into the lineup, Colby Williams playing forward:


Bears with a 4-1 comeback of their own. Lewington scores the GWG in OT

Nice comeback.

Tyler Lewington, offensive juggernaut, LOL.

So mad the ice storm hit and I couldn't go. Shoot for another weekend in a couple weeks. Glad to see them bounce back from a couple rough ones.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Leason back in for Clark. Williams still at 4th line RW

 

[hb12xchamps]

Not good



Video. Looks like the guy comes from AA’s blindside and demolishes him

 

[895]

Yikes. AA has had a bad injury every year for the past 3 years hasn't he?

 

[hb12xchamps]

He actually ended up coming back thank god. We’ll see how he progresses through the week when the adrenaline wears off.



Also congrats to Sutter on his first pro goal.

 

[SoulessGingerCapsFan]

TIL thru the box score Nathan Paetsch is still kicking around the AHL.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Congrats to Riley Sutter on his first professional goal!

Glad AA is ok. That was a brutal hit. *Ow*

 

[Raikkonen]

AA is getting hit too much. And I mean hits he gets injured in. Thats a concern.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It’s like he’s got Mike Greenitus....a little.

 

[Corby78]

That was a bad looking hit, from behind and a couple feet off the boards. Glad he is ok

 

[hb12xchamps]

Bears lose 5-2 last night. AA scored one of the goals.

Vanecek also announced to go to the AHL All Star game to replace Sgarbossa, who is still out injured.

TDL is coming up in a few short weeks. Would really like Hershey to add another AHL scorer to this team and they have the vet spot to do so. Their PP would also benefit from another Travis Boyd like player being added.

Some Hershey tidbits pulled from the following article:
Around the AHL: Breaking Down the Beasts of the East

Last season Hershey staged a furious second-half finish that erased a poor first half and put the team into the Calder Cup Playoffs. Sitting last in the Atlantic Division in mid-January, Hershey forged a .789 second-half point percentage and ended up going to the second round of the postseason.

Hershey has a much better positioning this season thanks to an excellent December. The team had an 8-9-2-3 record on November 30th. The following evening Hershey started a nine-game winning streak and won 10 of 11 games in December. Add 7-4-0-0 start in January, and the team’s 55 points are tied with Hartford atop the Atlantic Division standings. Hershey’s 25 wins also are tied for the Eastern Conference lead and third-most in the AHL.

Second-year head coach Spencer Carbery has the Bears playing committed two-way hockey that does not rely too heavily on one line. Hershey is second in the AHL in shots-against 26.5, and their penalty kill ranks third. What the Bears may lack in breakout offensive firepower, they more than compensate for that with a well-balanced offence. Hershey has outshot opponents 18 times this season, second-most in the AHL.

The Washington-Hershey affiliation agreement expires this season. It has been wildly successful for both parties, and there is every indication that it will continue. A 12th Calder Cup banner in Hershey would be the fourth since the two sides teamed up in 2005.

Pinho with a shortie.

I'd written his chances off due to age - does he have an outside shot?

I think he does. He has drastically improved this year and impressed during camp.

Pinho with a shortie.

Yes, great on the forecheck, solid penalty killer and has the skating ability to be an NHL regular in a bottom six role. He’s tenacious on the forecheck enough to be annoying. Also can play both center and wing which is a plus

 

[hb12xchamps]

Congrats Matt Moulson on 1,000 career games!

 

[hb12xchamps]

Lineups and highlights from a 5-2 win. Copley starting to heat up and has taken over the net.

That was Pinho's 13th of the year - 4 goals in the last 5 games. He is pushing for a call up at some point.

 

[Silky mitts]

Allowed 2 goals in the 4 game round robin

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Moulson is a three time NHL 30-goal scorer and was on pace for his 4th 30-goal season in a row in 2013. He has made close to $45mm in career earnings. Legend.
