Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) - 2018-19 Season Discussion

[TheLegend]

What's up with Hill?

Came out of a game a few days ago, according to Cat Silverman. Not really sure.

From looking at the transactions list on the AHL site Madsen was the equivalent of an emergency call up and now they’ve made it official.

Conor Garland named AHL Player Of The Week....

Yeah, I was watching it at the time. The Roadrunners on Jeopardy! Embarassing (for the contestants)...........just guess another city in AZ!

Norfolk fan here, still learning player numbers since they changed after a couple games. Update on the players you have here. It is early in the season and players are still learning to build some chemistry.

(G) Madsen only played two games but was very good in those games.

(D) Smereck and (D) Graves have been playing on the same line even strength. Smereck has been on the PP and making a difference. A lot of his shots are making it to the goalie or causing second chances to put shots on goal. Graves doesn't shoot as often, looks like the shots are getting blocked. Both players have good speed and hound the puck carrier. My seat is on the ADS shoot twice end so defensive plays are hard to judge only seeing them once closeup each home game.

Sounds like we'll be seeing Madsen in his Tucson debut this week with Miska heading to Philly.

San Jose here this weekend, Wood leads them in assists with 8. On the other hand, Helewka leads us in goals with 5.

Madsen gets the start tonite against the Gulls, Reichenbach backing up from Norfolk. Haven’t seen what Hill’s injury is anywhere, will check the scratch seats to see if it’s anything obvious.

 

[Mosby]

Hill is day to day with lower body

Hill is day to day with lower body

Ah, ok, only guy in the scratch seats is Merkley

Roadrunners up 3-0 with 3 minutes left in the second.

Kempe
Burke

Last two goals came 26 seconds apart.

Listening to the radio stream..... Twitter is beating it by almost a minute.

3-0 end of second.

Roadrunners outshooting Gulls 22-9

[TheLegend]

Conor Garland..... 4-1 Roadrunners.

 

[TheLegend]

Gulls get to within 1 and Kempe gets his second on he next shift.... 5-3 Roadrunners.

And..... a Trevor Murphy empty netter makes it 6-3.

Congrats to Madsen!

 

[tuxonpups]

Helewka buries a PP point shot for the first goal against his old team, that’s it, we won the trade.

 

[tuxonpups]

Bunting with a crazy deflection on a Gross point shot 2-0 RR. Shots are 13-1 RR, Kempe with assists on both goals.

 

[Phatastic]

Garland really has some fantastic offensive skill. He’s had a few ridiculous passes in the game tonight. He looks to have cut back a bit on his bad habit of over-handling the puck... I’m having pipe dreams that he could become Martin St. Louis, part Deux.

 

[Naych_PHX]

Yikes. Definitely a head shot.

 

[tuxonpups]

Helewka buries number two in the first 21 seconds of the major but we can’t get anything going for the rest of it. 3-0 RR, shots are 27-3 RR

 

[Naych_PHX]

San Jose not playing like a team that is 9-1

 

[Naych_PHX]

Muprhy just blocked a good shot, thats all.

 

[tuxonpups]

Two three-way passing plays in a row, Ullstrom and Pederson finish them, 5-0 RR, Madsen shutout
