2013-2014 Hartford Wolf Pack/Greenville Road Warriors Thread

[Championship*]

Pack up 2-1, Connie Allen on the PP, assist from Danny K. Kristo's second assist tonight.

 

[Championship*]

Hvrivik with a shorty - 3-1 Pack!

 

[Championship*]

and now it's 3-3...

 

[Greg02]

Nothing like giving up two goals in 20 seconds.

 

[Ail]

New York Wolfpack

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Pyatt, for all of his faults, is pretty reliable with the puck in his own end.

I can understand the dislike of Pyatt. I dislike Pyatt. But I can't get why people want to replace him with ECHLers.

 

[Championship*]

Some "swedish magic" - Lindberg from Fast and McIlrath

 

[Championship*]

Who else? Danny K with a snipe! A three point night so far for him.

 

[Championship*]

Winners 5-3. Pack keep rolling.

 

[Ail]

Awesome, gj HWP.

 

[NYR Viper]

All the big prospects getting on the scoresheet. Hrivik, Fast, Lindberg, Kristo, Allen, McIlrath

 

[Greg02]

Kristo in particular looked really good, in my opinion. Nice passing.

nice to see Kristo kicking arse in the A. He could be an option for the Rangers during the yr

 

[Overcast]

Hartford in a 3-way tie for first in the AHL with 15 points, 7-2-1 record.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Lindberg's goal was a really nifty play by Fast. Nice to see him having an impact already.

 

[Kovalev27]

Would like to see Kristo here soon

I think he's a better option than miller right now as a pure scorer

Although I think miller is a better option than MZA despite his strong game last night against a terrible isles D.

Ideally I'd replace Moore MZA Pyatt with Callahan Nash and Kristo when all healthy

Kreider Stepan Nash
Hagelin Richards Callahan
Miller Brassard Kristo
Pouliot Boyle Dorsett

Or

Hagelin Richards Nash
Kreider Stepan Kristo (wouldn't that be cool)
Miller Brassard Callahan
Pouliot Boyle Dorsett

There are a few combos there to work with especially with that type of top 9

Of course Nash is the ? At this point so maybe MZA has a longer future ahead of him for at least this season

 

[JohnC]

Honestly, unless injuries hit harder or he improves dramatically, Kristo needs to stay in the A for the whole year

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Watched most of the game. Fun game and pretty good summary by everyone here.

Kristo offensively has NHL tools but defensively he's a turnover machine and needs to at least become competent to get a look this season. Let him score 30+ goals for the Pack.

McLIrath looks much better. Allen looked good.

The Swedes fed well off each other. It's good they're getting big minutes. Lindberg goes about his business and is quietly effective and gets open for the right shots. Fast is a great passer and has a little Cally in him with the grit. Hopefully he can work on shooting more and he might be back with the Rangers in 5-6 weeks.

I really don't think Kristo is ready for a promotion. He has a lot of work to do away from the puck, and needs to play a little more controlled and responsibly.

He'd likely need solid minutes and PP time to produce offensively, but would otherwise be too much of a liability to get those minutes.

Maybe in a couple months he'll be ready.

Bottom 6 should be...

Pouliot Brassard MZA
Boyle Moore Dorsett
Pyatt extra

Let Miller and Kristo get big minutes in the A in all situations. They will be all the better for it next year.

 

[Super Sniper Cele]

Can anybody who follows the Wolf Pack tell me what's been going on with Arron Asham? It looks like he's been in and out of the lineup since being sent down. Is that due to poor play/attitude or is he dealing with an injury?

I pretty much agree.
Nash, Stepan, Kreider
Hagelin, Richards, Callahan

but I would also be ok with Brassard in top 6 and Hagelin on the 3rd line.
Boyle, Moore, Dorsett could be a good shutdown line though

Asham is injured. The Rangers don't usually disclose the type of injury.

Two rookie forwards are helping the Wolf Pack surge to the top of the division standings.

Danny Kristo, acquired over the summer from the Montreal Canadians for Christian Thomas, had a big three point night in Wednesday’s 5-3 victory over Bridgeport with a goal and two assists.

“It was by far his best total game with us,†said head coach Ken Germander. “on all three goals he showed a different part of his game. The first was a perfect pass, heads up on the powerplay. On Haley’s goal he paid the price along the wall took the hit and made a subtle pass to (Kyle) Jean and the goal again he showed what a release he has.â€

The other is Oscar Lindberg who had two points in Albany last Friday and scored the game winning goal Wednesday night seems to show the form that excited lead Rangers European scout Anders Hedberg last season when discussing him.

For Lindberg the talent has been there, but playing is a portion of his adjustment.

“He is making adjustments not only on the ice,but the off the ice. We kinda forget you have a lot of acclimating to do especially the language. I’m sure my Iron Range accent isn’t easy either,†joked Gernander of the portion of Minnesota where he hails from.

Gernander also discussed the chemistry between Lindberg and Fast.

 

[Tackla]

Asham is injured. The Rangers don't usually disclose the type of injury.

You sure about that? They also might be scratching Asham because they have no motivation to put a veteran like that into the lineup.
