Prospect Info: Hershey Bears/South Carolina Stingrays 2023-24 Seasons | Hershey 12x (and Defending) Champions Edition

I still have Miro over Leonard as the top prospect. Please hate lol. I love both players though.

kid is blossoming right in front of our eyes.

Impossible not to see a young #8 on that second goal. Did my heart good.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

3-0, Frank. Caught a lucky bounce but still a good play to get in position to get that bounce.

Miro has found another gear. Which is great to see because his series against Lehigh was pretty bad overall

These teams are in different leagues.

Hartford trying desperate shit at this point

Don't sleep on Lappy... 3-5-8 in 6 games so far (and not sure if that includes his goal tonight).

 

[MFHOOD]

another great win for the bears

 

[Holtbyisms]

Looking like I'm getting a game 5 refund to put towards the next round. Go Bears!

I hope you're right, because I have Leonard as the top prospect.

Kind of shocking how little ice time Miro got, though.

For me its the coach min/maxing the players he wants per shift. That Hershey 4th line is also, rightfully, getting more ice time.

If I recall correctly Miro was a top 5 prospect before is diagnosis. Still not sure what he'll be at the NHL level. He does have the shot and the physicality. For me would like to see him paired up with a good pass first center.

Did you end up making it to the game tonight DWGie?

Sadly did not make it up. couldn’t convince my son to go up and we ended up at a cookout and watched the Preakness. Then watched the Bears game.

Both of Miro’s goals were awesome. Definitely making a case to stay up in WSH next year.

Great to see Frank going in the playoffs as well. Not sure how well he’ll do in NHL but certainly like to see how he does in camp. There just might not be a spot for him depending on what we do around the draft/FA/Trade.

Lappy shining too. Our best players have been our best players. Great to see!

 

[MFHOOD]

I'm in a weird spot because I don't really care about the NHL too much and live so close to the Bears, they are pretty much my main team. I would always love to see our good players stay but am well aware that's not really the point. Ultimately I hope we can go back to back this year and keep a decent team going, I'll be happy so long as that's the case.

Cristall, Funk, and probably Suzdalev will probably be there next year. Silver lining, at least.

Cristall will not be there, he's not old enough.

Lappy graduated in my book lol. He's just gravy for the Bears at this point.

 

[MFHOOD]

Vecchione is my boy and im not sure he's good enough for the NHL so my jersey will still be good lol​

 

[bacchist]

Cristall will not be there, he's not old enough.

Crap, I forgot about that.

It can be both. I am a Caps fan first, but I buy AHLTV each year and follow the Bears a fair amount. Bear management does a good job of balancing the youth along with AHL vets. I thought they went to heavy on vets this year but turns out it was the right call. Still have some good vets for next year in Ness, Sgarbosa, Vecchione.

Crap, I forgot about that.

Same with Allen. Hopefully Sudz has a good turnaround year and can become an impact player for the bears.

The Flyers are my NHL team (but I was a Bears fan first- by a year), but over the years I've come to accept the Caps as a second team; I don't follow them intimately, but between the Bears connection and Ovi being my all time favorite player, it's kind of hard not to feel something for them. I followed Hershey and Philly pretty equally most of the time (there was a stretch in the early 10s when I followed the Flyers much more because my family had to drop our season tickets due to financial reasons), but I've absolutely devoted most of my time and energy to Hershey the past five years or so, especially after opting back into season tickets in 2021.

 

[MFHOOD]

I think I'll actually end up liking the Caps more once Ovi retires, lol. When I was younger I followed the Penguins so it's been really hard to adjust to all of this

I was a big Mario fan when I was a kid, mostly because he had a cool name and wore 66.

This is a really cool story about winding sports following.

I grew up in DC so have always been a Caps fan. I landed in Raleight from 1991 to 1998 and had season tickets to the Raleigh Ice Caps (ECHL). That was insane times. My season tickets were 225 per seat for the entire season. Then i was an inaugural Hurricanes season ticket holder. The first two years they played in Greensboro so first year I commuted to games from Raleigh. The second year I commuted from Charlotte. Then they moved into RBC and I could only go occasionally. Moved back to DC area in 2001 and have been full hog on Caps since.
