Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Bloomington Bison Thread: Part XV

[Ranger Ric]

Othmann's first fight. He gets an extra 2 minutes.

Scoreless after 1. Doesn't look like this team is going to score lots of goals but they won't give up much on the other end. First PP was god awful. The second PP a little better.

17 minutes in penalties for Othmann. Leads team already

Berard with his 1st goal as a pro! 1-0 Hartford.

Sykora and Hollowell with the assists.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Scanlin played most of last year and his first season when he came out of college on the right side. He can go either way. The Pack are short on right shot defensemen so he slides over. No PP time but usually starts the PK. Not a lot of offense but he made a nice pass to Brodzinski to give him a chance.

I don't understand the scratching of Trivigno but having it be on the home opener is a lousy way to treat a kid who had several offers and chose the Rangers because he wanted to play for his home team.

I must be experiencing a senior moment. I remember Jones playing the second half on the right side but not Scanlin?
Trivigno is a head scratcher. Last year he was not always in the lineup during the regular season when I thought there were other players who deserved to sit but at least Knoblaugh played him in all the playoff games.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

WooHoo!!!

 

[GAGLine]

Brodz from Sykora and Nash. 2-0 Hartford.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Brodz from Sykora and Nash. 2-0 Hartford.

Nash makes an excellent steal at the red line and passes to Sykora. Sykora passes to Brodzinski and when the penguins defenseman tried to stop the pass and misses Brodzinski walks in and beats the goalie.

Brodz from Sykora and Nash. 2-0 Hartford.

Not sure to say if that was a dangerous or nice pass from Sykora?
If that pass is picked off(and almost was) it’s a breakaway for Wilkes-Barre Scranton.

Jones did play some right D but Scanlin played on the right side with Hillman his partner.

I didn't see it. Flipping back and forth with BC.

If the pass connects it's a nice pass and if it is intercepted it's dangerous! There wasn't a lot of room but he got it through to Brodzinski.

If they put up the highlights, I’ll post it.

3-0, Nash from Belzile and Berard.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

That was a pretty goal.

3-0, Nash from Belzile and Berard.

Berard having a good game. For a smallish forward he thick in the right areas.
Only going to get stronger as he gets older.

Pack have a different vibe this year. The last time they had any kind of really positive vibe was Shesterkin's first year, and even then you kind of felt like once he left it might fall apart (it did). This team feels like one that should be highly competitive all year.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

The Pillars of Hercules with Edstrom and Rempe both standing in front of the net.
Great shift, more bad officiating.

 

[GAGLine]

Fans are so stupid. They threw stuff on the ice earlier after a goal. Mackey scored an unassisted empty-netter and more fans threw stuff, so the refs gave the Wolfpack a penalty. Then Edstrom scored a SH empty-netter and fans again threw stuff on the ice. Idiots. Cops are taking people out.

Over 7000 attendance, which is very good by Hartford standards.

Anything from Othmann yesterday?

Yeah the market for Hartford hockey has dried up in the past decade with the Wolf Pack being ass. But they still have a lot of big hockey fans in the region and if Hartford puts out a good product they will draw decent crowds for sure.

They need to call Othmann up ASAP, we need his spunk and attitude. I would release/cut/waive Vesey bring Othmann up. My lines would be
Laffy - Mika - Kappo
Panarin - Chytil - Othmann
Cuylle - Trochek - Goodrow
Kreider - Bonino - Wheeler
extra forward Pitlick

Reasoning is Kreider does all his damage on special teams and Mika differs to him too much. Put Laffy with him so Laffy and KK who seem to be pass first can feed Mika for his shot. Put Othmann with Panarin to take advantage of his one timer off Panarin passes and let him bring his energy and youthful enthousism to that line. Cuylle, Tro and Goody to forecheck, take the body and get the puck deep. Then Kreider, Wheeler and Bonino the old goat line.

Respectfully disagree
To me, this is short sighted, and reflects urgency that's not there yet.
Discards a useful asset unneccessarily.
Attrition will hit the lineup, as happens to all teams every season
And very game in AHL only makes Othmann more ready, should he be the 1st F recalled.

Tons of penalty minutes.
