Quine signed a 1-way...

Does Quine need to clear waivers?

Does Quine need to clear waivers?

Yes.

 

[SI]

I think he ll clear waivers.

And starts at bridge - 13 makes the team over him

i know he isn't highly touted, but i was impressed with his play. sure, small sampling, but i can't see them taking the chance. i agree that he is probably the bottom guy, but i'd be tempted to try and move 1 of Bailey or Clutterbuck (UFA at year's end). Bailey and Clutterbuck can both play RW, so it might leave a hole on the right side, but Quine could be a much cheaper alternative.

 

[Eye of Ra]

how big chance for Loftquist to make the team?

 

[IslesNorway]

how big chance for Loftquist to make the team?

I'll be very surprised if he did. His stats in junior is nothing special and would probably need time in the ECHL to adjust to pro hockey

Some encouraging words from Thompson on Dal Colle--

“I see improvement from him every season,†Bridgeport coach Brent Thompson said.
“The experience he had in the American League, he seems to be stronger on the puck. ... He’s put some weight on. He’s only going to continue to get better.â€

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but what is the cheapest way to get Sound Tigers tickets?
I'm not going to buy them on Ticketmaster since the fee is 9.75 for a 25 ticket.... but are there any coupons for them?

It's not expensive to just buy tickets when you get to the arena. They never sell out, and there's obviously no fee when you're standing right in front of them. That's what I always do.

Thanks. I called the team and they immediately tried to sell me season tickets. I'm just going to show up and get them at the Box Office even if it means I have to pay $3 more per seat for a game day purchase.

If MDC plays the entire season in the AHL - would you say a safe prediction would be
similar to Lee or Nino's full year at Bridgeport
74 GP - 28 G - 22 A - 50 points
54 GP - 22 G - 19 A - 41 points

And Ho Sang putting up Strome type numbers in half a season @ bridgeport
37GP - 13G- 36A -49 Points

Look for a player good enough for AHL but not good enough for NHL as of now? Try Cody Hodgson who is still young enough to play decent hockey at the AHL level as he does have some good Hockey IQ and playing with smart raw players with skill like MDC and Ho Sang may help him and vice versa. Sign him to an one year AHL contract to play with MDC and Ho Sang and see what may happen. Maybe he will be motivated if he still have a bit of hope to try to return to the NHL one day. Have he go through medical and make sure his back is good before signing him to the AHL deal.

Didn't he retire?

Didn't he retire?

Yup, development coach for Nashville.

Bport wins both pre-season games, outscoring opposition 8-1. after being part of the Memorial Cup winning Knights (as a 20 year old) Barisha has impressed the coaches. 5'10", 190 lbs., RHer.

side note: a quote... "Thompson said Bridgeport’s defensive game is “going to be a work in progress for everyone. It’s a new system. We’re trying to be a little more aggressive in the defensive zone.”

safe to assume that the Isles will be doing the same? i like it. their passivity, in all zones, last year was hard to watch. i am (was) a skater, and i never liked to be standing still. the faster pressure is applied, the better the chance of making the opposition make errors.

I hope Dal Colle, Ho-Sang and Pelech all have strong seasons.

 

[superyan]

I'm going to the game this weekend. Anyone have a favorite place to eat near the train or arena?

There's a new place called beerport, five minute walk from the arena. I haven't been yet, but looks good if you like craft beer. They also serve either wood fired or brick oven pizza. It's always packed!

 

[IslesNorway]

Bridgeport have signed Stephen Gionta to a one year deal.

 

[xECK29x]

Bridgeport have signed Stephen Gionta to a one year deal.

Terrific addition

 

[steveat]

Gionta is not THAT old..I am sure he could have looked around for an NHL contract..cool though.this is excellent depth and he would defo be a solid call up if one of the guys goes down...which is comforting. I, at least feel at ease knowing that Gionta can fill a roll with no problems fitting in.

 

[rikker]

won their 1st game vs Providence, 2-1.



then lost to Springfield 2-1.

 

[StumpNYI]

How's Michael Dal Sang and Josh Ho-Colle looking so far?
