Small sample but Prosvetov is .934 in his first 13 pro games.

Not doubting his skill as he's easily the best goalie prospect in the org but he does have a good team in front of him which is a huge determinant for goalies in lower leagues.

Going against Texas tonight...

You can compare stats to other goalies in the team to eliminate the "strong team" factor. Adin Hill for example on the same team - his stats arent close although he does still win games. Antti Raanta had one game and posted a shutout. Similarly in the ECHL, the other goalies didnt put up Prosvetov's numbers.

I guess its not uncommon for talented goalies to start out hot until opponents get a book on them. Still great to see the confidence boost he must be feeling.

Going against Texas tonight...

Does this mean Saarijarvi has played his way onto the top pairing with Capo? Interesting.

They are going for 3 balanced D pairings. Smereck and Saarijarvi would be exposed.

I hope our scouts found something in Saarijarvi

I hope our scouts found something in Saarijarvi

Did we draft him?

 

[Mosby]

Did we draft him?

He's the guy we got from Detroit for Comrie.

 

[hbk]

Did we draft him?

No. We traded for him. Usually reasons why teams believe in a player enough to make that decision.

 

[TheLegend]

Hosting Colorado Eagles tonight... wearing the kachinas.

 

[TheLegend]

Roadrunners lost 4-3.

Will update the post when I get the chance.

Game 2 against Colorado.... matinee game




Last I saw on Twitter it was tied 1-1 in the second.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Does Gross really get third-pairing minutes in the AHL? Looked pretty good when he was up here.
