Prospect Info: Springfield Thunderbirds Roster

I only had a problem with one of his plays in that package (he did basically nothing when he got walked around on the goal against). He could have made a better play from the corner in the highlight toward the end, but he was inthe right position, didn't have time to hold the puck and going up the wall was the safest play. A strong tape to tape pass would have been the ideal play, but I certainly wouldn't call it a lapse that he wasn't able to make it. That would have been a very difficult play to make with the time he had and giving it up to a player at the point isn't a dangerous play. I'd much rather see that play than watch him try to skate the puck out of danger or go up the middle with a pass.

I see your point. Didn't have much of an option and his play didn't work.

My second guess is just try and keep the puck frozen in the corner rather than throw what turned into a perfect pass to the point (of the other team).

I'm guessing Colten Ellis will probably be in the nets Saturday for Springfield.

As I mentioned in another thread, Perunovich assisted on all 3 T-Birds goals.

 

[Kylester]

They did it again!

T-Birds beat Bridgeport 4-1. Undefeated (well, at least in regulation, 7-0-2-1) and lead their division.

Perunovich with 2 more assists. He now has 13 assists and leads the AHL in scoring with 15 points.

Colton Ellis with 28 saves for the win.

Joshua also with 2 assists.

Washkurak with his 3rd goal in 5 games since being promoted.

Logan Brown and Alexei Toropchenko also scored.

I'm reading AHL box scores on a Saturday night (insert punch line here).

Here's a write up on Springfield players. Informative but not exactly objective.

 

[The Lean Bergmann]

Any idea what's going on with Nikita Alexandrov? Is he injured?

 

[execwrite1]

T-Birds win in Providence, 4-1. Two goals by Anas, an assist by Perunovich - 10 straight games with points.

Lindgren is playing really well in goal. Needs another shot at the NHL (somewhere).

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Cool thing. The Blues' entire draft class from 2018 (minus Bokk) is playing with Springfield.

Hofer is a current exception.

T-birds goal! 3-1

 

[execwrite1]

Great comeback win Friday nite. Down 0-3 early, score four straight, then McGing wins it in a shootout. Hofer was great in the OT and the shootout.

Two goals for Torpo.

Wow - four goals in the third period and another win for the fabulous Thunderbirds.

Six point weekend - these boys are something,

Not for long - his AHL days are over I think.

Roster addition - Michael Kim, LHD, 5-11, 200, 26 years old, on loan from Maine in the ECHL.

Two-time captain at Boston College. Interesting story.

BC captain Michael Kim was on of the most impressive defenseman I saw last year at Magness Arena. He wasn’t the biggest guy but he could skate very well and was great at exiting his zone clean.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Wait. Perunovich still leads the team in points? Jeez

And he is till the co-leader in points in the A.

Any update as to why? Obviously COVID, but is it due to cases.
