Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2024-25: Where's the Farm?

He made his debut already, but no-one posted it here...

The 6'3", 220 pound MA native had 10-12-22 for Sacred Heart this year after 4 fairly unspectacular years as a 3rd/4th liner for St. Lawrence.

Has usually collected quite a few penalty minutes each season.
 
Very interesting game in Toronto yesterday afternoon:

The baby Islanders looked like their usual crap for the first 25 minutes (or so) of the game.

Then Foudy and Thiesing teamed up for a wonderful goal that Foudy tipped in.

Then Pinho got a goal that prolly should have been a high stick but the refs convened and gave it to him. That was the turning point.

Foudy then scored on a self-created breakaway and it was a beaut of a move after he displayed what I'd call NHL speed.

Then Beckman scored on a PP one-timer that was beautifully set up by Terry after Odelius did a good job of keeping the puck in at the blueline and then calming things down. Nice!

Suddenly, things were tied up heading into the third.

BPort would go on to score the gamewinner when Foudy made a beauty of a no-look backhand pass to a wide open Thiesing, who slammed it in.

If this had happened back in November or something, I'd be saying "Watch out... Looks like the boys just experienced what they need to turn this thing around."

Anyways, those final 35 minutes, including the defending against Toronto's late push, were highly entertaining.

PS) The baby Make Beliefs signed this sought after college UFA Haymes out of Dartmouth who has been a bit of a darkhorse and who missed a third of this season for the green and white. For a guy who just stepped in, he looked outstanding.

Although he didn't play, they also signed winger Kirwan who notched 26 goals for Arizona State this season after three years with Penn State.

The Maple Leafs organization has some drawing power.

Chapin, curious to get your thoughts on Foudy? In the games I’ve seen I thought Foudy could be an upgrade on McLean in a 4th line role.

Offensively, for sure.

Dunno what the deal is. Maybe we'll see him before the season is over although I'd think the team may want to view newly acquired Beckman once we're elminated from the POs.
