12 minutes left with one goal behind but the RR seem to be doing better in the 3rd I see tying it up.

 

[0point1]

Tie game ! With one min left

Edit: end of regulation, Going to OT

 

[Mosby]

Adin Hill with 2 assists in the last 2 games.

Capo is back healthy too. Nice little boost for the RRs.

Ondřej Kaše

 

[Jakey53]

Middle six scoring winger.

4th line energy player.

Mixed reviews, but I don't see him a 4th liner. Don't forget that with all his injuries his development may be a bit behind of where he should be and hopfully we are just seeing the tip on the iceberg with him.

 

[TheLegend]

Up 1-0 in Bakersfield.

 

[Muppet]

Geez, what has Garland been drinking recently? It's weird seeing him pass, he's usually a puck hog.

 

[TheLegend]

Man.... either our D in Tucson is shutdown good or Edmonton has got nothing in the pipeline at forward.

 

[Mosby]

Bunting has looked good recently as well. I think there's still something there.

 

[TheLegend]

2-1 final Roadrunners.

Garland with the GWG (1-1-2).

Magic number is 7.

[Mosby]

As in 7 points from clinching?

 

[TheLegend]

As in 7 points from clinching?

I presume that.

Garland’s GWG.

 

[Antonche]

Is Bunting ready to make the roster next year ?

 

[Mosby]

I think he’s a Martinook replacement long term.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I don't Bunting has the skill to be even a 4th liner in the NHL, but I'd be glad to be wrong. Nice to see Garland scoring, I've never seen NHL potential from him, but it would be nice if he were a good AHL scorer for Tucson.

Capobianco, Wood, Crouse and Merkley I think are all toss ups to maybe be nhl players. I think one or two will make it as legit nhl players. I don’t see any as impact top 6/top 4 types, though. I think that’s it for Tucson, as far as potential nhl guys at the moment.

 

[Kaibur]

Lane Pederson and Jens Looke look like potential 4th liners to me. Nothing flashy, and easily replaceable, but I could definitely see them both carving 100+ NHL game careers out for themselves, particularly as the league expands again.

I'm interested to see if Steenbergen gets paired with Pederson, given they were teammates in Swift Current.

I think a lot of our prospects have a lot riding on how they perform in the playoffs this year. Here's hoping Tucson has a deep playoff run!
