Bridgeport Sound Tigers Discussion 2019-20 Pt. II

[SI90]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bellows have grit and a willingness to mix it up when necessary? I don't think this is anything new

He’s always been that way. Always been feisty

 

[ettlinger]

It looks like both Carpenter and Wahlstrom are in today. Well Wahlstrom is, Carpenter isn't.

 

[Macch]

Wall-E in, Bobo not

3-0 pens in the first period.

Yeashhh

Good on em to rest the big guns.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

He’s always been that way. Always been feisty

He's what I don't like in guys, an elbows out and up player. but he's an Islander so I'll overlook it.

Is anyone else watching this game? I can’t find the lines listed anywhere but It looks to me like Wahlstrom is playing LW, which is weird.

He’s played his off wing before. He can play both RW/LW

 

[SI90]

BPST lost. Hutton got an assist.

Heres Wally in uniform

 

[Glory Days]

He’s played his off wing before. He can play both RW/LW

It would help his development if they stuck to one side. Less to think about.

Agree. I think long term he will play RW

 

[PROMputt]

Brent Thompson on Oliver Wahlstrom’s pro debut: “Wahlstrom did some really good things out there. You can see the offensive instincts. You can see the poise with the puck, the creativity. He’s obviously a guy who can shoot; I think he had four or five attempted shots, and one registered on net. For me he was one of the positives of the game, came in, competed hard, won some wall battles and was pretty reliable, pretty strong on the puck. That’s a positive. We’ll build from there.”
From Wahlstrom: “Pucks didn’t bounce for us today, but it was a good first experience,” he said. “It’s a different pace from college, a little higher tempo. It’s a playoff push for all the teams, but I thought it was a good tempo out there.”

 

[DarkHorse2]

What a way to start your pro career, with a game starting at 10:30 a.m.

 

[Frankie41987]

He’s played his off wing before. He can play both RW/LW

When have you seen him play his offwing? I watched a bunch of his games at BC and I never saw him play LW.

 

[Metnut]

Is the Bridgeport powerplay really 3 for the last 49? That's kind of demoralizing considering all of the power play struggles on the big club. Hopefully Lou mandates that Wahlstrom get some power play time right away.

For the USDP he’s played LW at times. Also, I believe he did it for the WJC but that could have just been on the PP.

Michael Dal Colle was one of their PPs best producers. Hurts BST that he’s not there now.

He had good game he was very involved for his first pro game, he had puck a lot and attempted a lot of shots. He is a shooter which this team needs he always looked to shoot today.

How does Ho-sang look out there? How does he compare to Wall-E

JHS is invisible most nights I’m sorry to say. He just needs to find consistently effort to ever make it back up here.

Going thru the motions ,waiting to be traded.

 

[BallinPB]

Who on the current roster will make the big leagues next year?

I really would like to see Koivula and Aho make the jump for good.

 

[SI90]

If Hickey and /or Leddy are traded I can def see Aho

I don’t have any problem with Koivula getting nice and ripe. This is his first year playing center and he’s still learning but seems to have adjusted Walt well.

I really would like to see Koivula and Aho make the jump for good.

This guy deserves to be in the NHL.

 

[Glory Days]

This guy deserves to be in the NHL.

I think the current group of left D are all better. Aho will need to wait for an opening. Maybe Leddy gets traded.

 

[SI90]

Ho-Sang with a goal and an assist
Otto with his 19th goal. Headed to 3rd BP losing 6-4
