Prospect Info: Down On The Farm (Ads and Glads)

AHL has scrapped AHLtv and all games will be televised on FLOHockey. It’s a bit more expensive but it does provide access to all AHL, ECHL, SPHL and several junior hockey leagues as well.

I had just subscribed to FLO for ECHL games like a week before this announcement. I think it's around $400 for the year. Then got the bonus of AHL games on top of it? Couldn't be happier!

Does the $400 cover all sports?

Does the $400 cover all sports?

I can't tell yet, there's nothing live playing at the moment but it did allow me to watch replays of some other sports. I was also wrong, $400 was for Sunday Ticket. Flo Sports was only $150 and it does say "25 sports available".

HOWEVER, on the website I had to specifically choose hockey and i'm signed in on flohockey but then not on other sports like flohoops. If I remember later this afternoon I'll try to stream some minor league baseball playoffs.

Edit: So there is some women's soccer on right now. All of the live events have a "LOCK" icon on them, but it still let me watch both of the live soccer games.

Will be interesting to see if we can develop him. He gets to fight with Murray and Haider for net time. On the negative side, none of them were inspiring at the AHL level last season and this might be a real rough season for MIL goaltending

Murray was okay last season. His problem was that the Texas Stars weren't as talented as the Milwaukee Admirals. He personifies "if you can't beat them, join them!"

Glad to hear that Zach, Ozzy and Adam are coming back to Milwaukee.

Now send us Jankowski and O'Reilly!

Not sure if it goes here but interesting

Ads signed Isaac Ratcliffe. He seemed to be very effective the year before after joining Milwaukee, but then useless again last season for Chicago?

Anyway, not sure how things stack up for centers in particular, and he's normally LW, but we certainly have more than enough bodies around for Milwaukee regardless of how you want to lay out the lineup...

L'Heureux - Svechkov - Kemell
Bellows - (O'Reilly) - Hinostraza
Schafer - Lucchini - Wiesblatt
Mutter - (Ratcliffe) - Angello
Roest/(Wall)/(Campbell)/(Howarth)/Frasca

Del Gaizo - Blankenburg
Gravel - Ufko
Wilsby - Livingstone
Hanzel/Prokop/Matier/(Marino)/(Nychuk)

Murray
Chrona
(Haider)


( ) = AHL contract

I believe that is Wahl (C), a bit of a slower skater, but a big hitter. He is good along the boards. Wahl and Campbell (LW) played well in the playoffs last year for Milwaukee.

I expect Marino to be the 7th Dman. He came from the Chicago Wolves, like Ratcliffe. They were a truly awful team last season, even with FIVE former Admirals on the roster.

Mutter, Ratcliffe and Angello will be a line similar to Trenin's line for Nashville. They will all bounce you around and score a few goals. Angello is a natural winger, who had to play at center sometimes due to call ups and injuries. Mutter showed some offense in the playoffs and drew a few penalties.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Marino does seem to have sort of a Josh Healey type of profile, but bigger. He seems to be the kind of veteran #7 they will want to keep around, I agree. However, I wonder what this means for Matier, Prokop, and Hanzel who probably were all looking to step up permanently into AHL spots, but at least a couple of them instead are likely bound for Atlanta?

 

[adsfan]

Matier may stick in Milwaukee, with Stastney unavailable.

Prokop has size at 6'4". The AHL is fast for him.

I am still trying to figure out what Hanzel has for desirable qualities. He sneaks under my radar when he is here. That means that he doesn't make any big mistakes, but he isn't Bobby Orr.
