Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2023-24: Youngblood

[leeroggy]

Starting to get lost in the numbers game.

It's Year 3 of Jenkins' contract, and he had 13 points in 50 games last season. It's time for him to take another step. That'll be up to him to make that happen.



For my part, I want to see Cholowski getting lots of ice time. He signed a 2-year contract and there's more than enough in his tool set to be every bit as good as Salo.

As for Sevigny, I don't see him getting in as long as the other guys are healthy. Hope he gets some ice time.

By the way, where's Cosgrove in this equation? He's not listed with Worcester just now.

Isn't it really down to Jenkins, Durandeau and Jenkins competing for Cizikas' spot eventually? How do they ever get to play with Casey having that many years left?

Has Bolduc been participating in Bridgeport's camp? Lou mentioned at the end of his media availability yesterday that Bolduc is injured.

Really too bad. Hard to develop as a raw but very toolsy prospect when you don't play. He's got so much athletic potential.

He played in fridays preseason game. Had an assist on Bridgeport's only goal.

That’s good to hear. I feel like injuries derailed Mitch Vande Sompel’s career and I’d hate to see that happen to Bolduc. I think he’s got a lot of raw talent to develop.

Just a heads up, AHL TV will be free this weekend. Bridgeport plays on Friday and Saturday so anyone who wants a glimpse of some of our young guys will have a chance free of charge.

I saw Youngblood in the post and thought this was about the greatest Hockey movie ever. It was Keanu Reeves first movie lol

If you didn't already like Keanu Reeves, you might a little more when you find out that he was the goalie for his high school team.

I’m patiently waiting for John Wick 4.

Free AHL streams all weekend. B-Isles at B-Bruins tonight, Dufour already drove past the defenseman for a sneaky low shot of goal early here in the 1st.

B-Isles PP looks much better than the Islanders. I think the first unit had three shots on goal.

Yikes

Our future general manager Chris Lamoriello has built quite the juggernaut in Bridgeport. Great coaching staff too

I’ve tried a half dozen times to try and watch for free but it always goes to a select a plan and pay page. Can’t watch diddly poo for free.

holy hell, go thru a side menu to finally find it. They don’t make it easy!

And all of that happens when? Or perhaps you were being sarcastic?

They arguably have far more talent this year than in prior years. No excuses for Thompson this year.

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

They had 43 shots on goal. Offense won’t be a problem.

How was Skarek last night?

Looked better than last year. Problem is he was going up against Kinkaid...

Consistency from game to game AND period to period has been my knock on Skarek.
Since tonight isn't part of a 3 in 3 I hope Thommer gives him another start.

Ishkakov is a sleeper prospect that doesn't get the attention of Raty, Holmstrom or Dufour, but he is going to surprise many this year imo!!

He’s too small and weak for the NHL.

Playing in Connecticut is natural for Ishkakov.

 

[gordie43]

It may have been discussed and I’m sorry I missed it, but what is everyone’s experience with AHL tv? Isles are offering season ticket holders a discount wonder if it was with it.

JHS was the Isles biggest sleeper prospect in recent history.

Nicely done my friend...nicely done.

A relative of mine has it so I watch sometimes with them, it's fine for what it is but it's not an NHL broadcast so just be aware of that. It's certainly not terrible and I don't mind watching, but there are limited graphics, the audio isn't as crisp as the NHL broadcasts, etc.

Camera angles good? The few games I watched in the past seemed like they were shot from the last row.
