Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Lebanezer]

This game hasn’t gone well after the first minute.

 

[Hobocop]

I want to be more critical, but my main takeaway so far is “Man, this Wranglers team is really good.”

I’m at the game. Shakir is a mile from the nhl. He was beat no fewer than five times for breakaways, net front rebounds, etc. just ugly…

I don’t think he’s an nhler to be.

Gush gets a goal with the goalie pulled how ever Calgary have now scored 2 empty net goals after it. 6-2 final.

 

[Hobocop]

Phone just didn't want to load this site while I was at the game. Oh well.

This Calgary team is going to be tough to beat. They're big, fast and well-structured. I can see why they're off to what's now a 12-3 start to the season. Devin Cooley played a great game, too.

There's some things the Barracuda can adjust for tomorrow (how about quit skating into the corner of our defensive zone and turning the puck over, and watch out for their forwards sneaking behind the defense on the breakout) but yeah, pretty clear why Calgary's the best team in the league currently.

I wonder if Frisch might sit tomorrow, he blocked two different shots that both hobbled him. He was still out there for the last shift, but you know how those things go.

Both Cuda goals were Gushchin from Graf and Poturalski, so 2 points for all three of them. 8 SOG by Gushchin.

Congrats. I also watched him play those games. You pretend just because you’re a knights fan you’re the expert. I just don’t really think he’s a line driver. I think his max potential is something like Fabian Zetterlund who I think is a very good player but not a line driver.

You watched an entire season of Knights hockey to follow Halttunen?

That's top tier fandom and obsession if it's true.

I don't know if I trust the judgement of a person who betted on the Sharks winning the Cup this year.

I think Muhk will eventually be called up. Mario has never played a full season in the NHL (although he played 78 last year). How long before he takes another blocked shot and explodes and then Muhk will come up as the injury replacement and never relinquish that spot.

Not soon enough IMO

Enough to know this guy is talking out of his ass.

No but really here’s the two things that I think happened here. This guy claims to be an expert because he’s a fan and also we are talking about two entirely different things when it comes to “line driver.”

Eventually, yeah. Fans do seem to be in much more of a rush to bring the new guys in than they were before. Mukhamadullin, IMO, still needs a little more time, just because he still doesn't look like he's back to the level he was playing at last season. His play so far since coming back from the injury has been pretty unremarkable. So him getting more AHL reps is a good thing right now.

Actually, one thing from yesterday's game is that he's no longer used on the power play, he was replaced on the PP2 unit by Lucas Carlsson.
