[Body Checker]

Flames have three on Button’s Top 50 NHL affiliated prospects; one is a shocker -

37. Stromgren (wowsers)
42. Battaglia

The Wranglers have signed an interesting player to a PTO: the pride of Camrose, Alberta, 25 year old, 6’0”, 185 lb Kyler Kupka.

The left-shot center has been on a hot streak, tallying 27 points in his last 21 games; he has 26 goals and 51 points in 49 games this season with the South Carolina Stingrays, and was just named ECHL Player of the Week.

Wranglers get slapped around 4-1 in Coachella Valley to start their road trip after losing both b2b games at home to the Reign in OT last weekend. Cooley was good, they just got dominated structurally, outshot badly after the 1st which ended tied after Frk put in his own rebound. Forwards weren't good, defense other than Aspirot and maybe Kuznetsov were poor in coverage and struggled to make it into the OZ. Jurmo is hopeless, would be very surprised if he ever suits up in a NHL game.

Honzek probably our most noticeable forward, carried the puck well but sometimes should just fire a high hard one in there rather than try to beat a 2nd or 3rd guy. Morton was alright, lots of other guys got swallowed up. Firebirds are a team with a lot of guys that have tons of NHL games, they have our number.

With how much movement and turmoil with the coaches even the club has gone through and also considering they've put up a nice comfortable pt total so far not super surprised to see the team hit the skids a bit. Definitely missed Solo and Hunt.

I haven’t watched nearly as much Wranglers hockey as I did last year, so appreciate the intel on Jurmo.

LMAO @ 4 shots in 40 mins.
Expected decline when you replace Pelts, Duehr, Klapka, Hunt, Solo with the likes of Davis, Silye, Jannicke, Myly, and Jurmo
I was actually surprised at the start they had this year. They've been .500 since mid Dec

They've now lost 6 straight and Cooley hasn't been particularly solid since returning from injury. 1-3-4, 3.20 GAA, .889 SV%

Another great weekend from Arseni Sergeev. Penn State played the #1 ranked Michigan State and went 1-0-1 in the 2 games. Sergeev stopped 78 of 82 shots against. 9-1-3 record in his last 13 starts.

I’ve been stat watching him since he was drafted. Could be another late round goalie pick steal.

Zarubin not exactly having a terrible year for the Tula Mikhailov J-20 either stats-wise (2.38, .933), though his record accounts for 8 of the team’s 15 losses and only 8 of their 27 wins.

Me too. I wonder if he signs this summer.

Wranglers lose 4-0 in San Diego to the Gulls, who finally break the Calgary win streak in their arena. Despite what the score says the Wranglers actually played pretty well. Husso was making his debut for SD and while I wouldn't say he stood on his head or anything he had a real good game. Calgary started strong and then had a shit 2nd period. Honzek did not play out with a LBI

Stromgren was noticeable, really strong on his skates and had some quick bursts. Liking this player more and more every time I watch him, he's got NHL tools for sure. Morton had some nice rushes and NZ breakups but a little quiet. Kerins was shooting but didn't get inside much and struggled on the boards. Kuznetsov our best defenseman, he was playing with Barrie. Cooley wants the 3rd GA back but otherwise was quality, the 4th goal was an EN that Frk basically put in his own net.

feel like I don't even know half these players anymore, after seeing some AHL moves this week wonder if Brad Pascal has his a mind for adding to the roster for a Calder Cup run. Not getting enough from guys like Bell and Ciona.
