AHL & ECHL Affiliate Thread II - Running With the Wolves and Sailing with the Admirals

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Wouldn't mind, but gotta say that would be novel.

On second thought, he reportedly has character issues, so I think we can easily judge him by what we’ve already covered in this thread.

Yeah, some people are as easy to read as an open Bokk.

Bokk has reached the last Chapter with the Canes.

Kochetkov starting tonight. Allowed a goal 8 seconds in and a PP goal later in the 1st.
Wolves up 3-2 in the 3rd.

koch got his first AHL point on the Wolves first goal!

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Wolves win 5-3. Drury scored a SH, Smallman assisted. Suzuki scored. Rees, Sellgren, Kochetkov, and Mattheos got an assist.

Kochetkov stopped 31 of 34

Quote from last night’s Chicago game


Texas (18-20-5-4) jumped on top in record-setting fashion as center Josh Melnick scored eight seconds into the game with a shot from the top of the right circle — the fastest opening goal in a Wolves game during their 28-year history.
“It’s good for us,” said Wolves head coach Ryan Warsofsky. “We need to experience these things. And I think it’s a good teaching moment — whether it’s for us in the playoffs or Ryan Suzuki in a year or six months in the NHL and he’s in that situation. You can look at it a lot of different ways — and we need to look at it in a positive way and a teaching moment.”

Kochetkov is confident playing the puck

both Suzuki and Drury scored because the Texas goalie couldn’t squeeze the post

Wolves rally to corral Stars

Drury likes playing Texas, he has 4 Gs and 2 As in 5 games against them.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Wolves played uninspired hockey last night but won 2-1, thanks to Kochetkov. He made a few outstanding saves in his 31 shots faced. He even received a couple of ovations from the crowd after the saves.

Noesen scored his league leading 30th
Drury continues to put up points, especially against Texas. He had an assist.
Smallman and Suzuki also had an assist.

Koch, 3-0, 2.36, .929. Glad he's getting the opportunity to play some down the stretch and continue his strong year.

If you have the NHL network, the Wolves and Wild game is broadcast today at 4.

If Kotch keeps this up, I wonder how quickly he'll vault up the goalie heirarchy in the org

As long as he comes in with a good camp, he at least gets 10 starts next season.

Does he really even need to vault up? Unless you mean to the NHL, in which case, I'd imagine he'll get time next year or the year after depending on whether he's in NA or not. That's certainly the benefit of short term vet goalie deals. Easy to move on at any time if a young guy is ready.

If he keeps up what he is doing in the AHL, he might jump Lyon the next time we need to bring up a guy to cover for an injury.

Him getting a game or two in a couple of weeks is a possibility. Would be pretty cool.

wish kotch was in net today. was hoping to see him (or makiniemi if he is healthy) today since they're on nhl network.

lafontaine in net. he's given up one early. it was worse than any of the ones he gave up in his canes start. poor kid - hope he figures it out.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Drury is seriously point streaking right now.

has the last 2 goals to tie it up.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Drury with the Hatty!!!!

 

[spockBokk]

Other teams can “demand” all they want, but short of Chychrun, I’d be quite surprised if they dealt Drury.

 

[htdoc]

Good to see Pyotr playing well in NA sized rinks….. nice highlight package…

be surprised if we can keep Drury down next year….. he’s doing everything he can top down there to be noticeable if we need a call up…only possible thing I can think might work against him is our roster balance and having too many little guys not fully grown into their frames yet……. We have to be careful we keep enough heaviness in the lineup provided they can also keep up and play….. Jarvis needs to fill out. Hopefully he develops a bit in the offseason….

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

no wonder we signed with Chicago, they are TD level cheap

 

[A Star is Burns]

Shoulda been Darren McCarty. Or at least Carty McCartface.

Drury is very solid. I’d have no issue with him in the NHL right now.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess he's not regretting the move at any level.
