Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2023-24: Youngblood

[DerekKingSnipes]

I like Durandeau, he may not be good enough but he plays the game a lot like Cizikas. I do think he could be energy fourth liner in Nhl.

B-Isles PP was at one point 4/4 tonight. I know Terry, Iskhahov, Raty, and Dufour have been getting PP minutes, Andreoff too.

Yeah it’s a good mix up front, they appear to be one of best bridgeport rosters in many many year if not ever. They thus far have zero issues scoring goals.

Ruslan had especially excelled on the pp. I was always a fan if his game ever since I saw him play at the under 17s WJS. Covid and injuries have affected his career but his skill level is top class. He also plays with intensity not afraid to go to the corners.

The way he is playing, we're going to have to apologize to Pronman for getting that pick right . . .

The looks a lot like Pronman.

 

[seafoam]

Vincent Sevigny with his first pro goal, Raty with one as well.

3-2 Charlotte.

 

[seafoam]

Duffy with an assist.

 

[seafoam]

Andreoff with a PP goal and I believe it's tied at 3-3.

Schenider in net today BTW.

Raty made a gorgeous move in tight but couldn’t finish. Dufour in the slot with 2 glorious chances. Checkers look like the best team we’ve played all year. Lots of veterans. Del Zotte, what in the world, I thought he retired to pursue an adult acting film career.

They lost to Charlotte last year in the playoffs, but I'm not sure how much of that team is back.

Here is the full sequence of Raty's goal. Dufour charges towards the net and gets a shot on goal. Raty retrieves a rebound and goes to the net and gets rewarded for it.

Nice to see the prospects doing the little things right.

In the very small sampling I've seen of Raty, he seems like a guy who has the puck find him a lot. That's refreshing, because he's in the right spots.

 

[seafoam]

Dufour cold as ice in the shootout to give Bridgeport the win.

These guys are rolling, great to see.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

One thing I notice about Raty and Dufour, both players can shoot the puck. Not just pure velocity, but more in quickness of release and accuracy which are just as important.

The Anti- Clutterbuck, if you will....

Holmstrom - Raty - Dufour as a line in the NHL next year! Pageau and Palmieri for high picks and prospects!

In Lou I trust!

Sccobie Doobie Dubas!

Market is a little quiet today . . .

 

[seafoam]

After beating Charlotte in the shootout earlier today, Bridgeport is tied for the league lead in points with Wilkes-Barre Scranton.

If there is a year to go all the way, it’s with Schneider likely playing his last season of professional hockey and this exciting mix of prospects up front and on the backend.

Rookie lines are a horrible idea. You intentionally want to seperate them so they are playing with experienced pros and can be held accountable by them/be insulated to somr degree.

Also LOL at Palmieiri for high picks and prospects. Did you mean Palmieri AND high picks and prospects?

Don’t think they move Pageau just yet, but Palmieiri they will either have to pay to get rid of or buy out.

Next time I'll include the /sarc so you don't have to guess

 

[BelovedIsles]

Dufour's release is effortless and quick.

 

[YearlyLottery]

One thing that is nice to see is the success doesn't seem like it is due to some random 30 year old career minor league players. Rather, it is on the backs of our young guys.

Ruslan seems like a smaller version of Kucherov.

I see Andreoff as a potential Zeeker replacement (I know he's not a "prospect), but the guy looks fine at the NHL level and is feisty...probably not afraid to drop the gloves...he plays a harder game IMO

I’m worried about you.

Andreoff and Casey are the SAME AGE, when exactly does he take over? At 36 when Casey's contract is up?

Andreoff already had a couple of swings at the NHL level. It's not going to happen for him unless there's some catastrophic injuries to all our depth ahead of him. He'll finish his pro career as an AHL lifer.

at the very least...he'll make pretty good depth in case of injury.
