it comes with the territory down here sometimes, but what I can't understand is why Halttunen was taking so much punishment. Not like he was much of a factor in Wednesday's game. I enjoy the dirtiness in the AHL sometimes. Gives the league sort of an unrefined charm.

Relatedly, the Barracuda actually lead the league in penalty minutes now. Coe and Vincent both got misconducts at the end (see 1:45 of the above video. Seriously, I like seeing that from Coe). It's just funny how little I care about that stat since we're doing well in so many other categories.

Yeah Vincent was right in front of me yelling with either McKay or Quinney when the ref told him to go. I think it stems from a McKay spear on Hache earlier in the period.

Not sure why Halt was the unlucky recipient. He took a crosscheck to the side in the first that left him struggling on the bench.

How has Bystedt looked so far? Just curious since he is from my home town team over here in Sweden, he was so so last season so there's some hope that he flops and can return home(and hopefully improve upon that) I guess.

Yeahhhh no, that's not happening.

He has been great here. Even better than expected. He's scoring, he's killing penalties, he's physical. He's one of our top three forwards.

Bystedt is outperforming Lambert and Kulich, who several of the draft experts on here were mad that we passed on, in the AHL so far.

He also doesn't necessarily need to be a top six forward to stick in the NHL so I'd be surprised if he doesn't find a role with the Sharks.

I agree, but I don't expect him to be much more than a 3C. A lesser Danault.
