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

[cwede]

Tell me there is no 6'5" 240 lbs killer in the ECHL that can just skate normal with an average hockey IQ for the 4th line at wing... #scouting

Apparently Pack signing PC Labrie, son in law of Patrick Roy

Pierre-Cédric Labrie at eliteprospects.com

 

[NYR Viper]

Probably a signing for the Icemen. 2 points in 19 games last year in the German league

It appears Hartford have added an enforcer to the roster. Per the #AHL transaction page, Pierre-Cédric Labrie is added to the Wolf Pack roster. The 35 year old forward will bring grit & toughness to the roster. Essentially, he’s the Geertsen replacement. #HWP #NYR

I think they're more focused on his PIM totals. They don't have a goon at the moment (until him, anyway).

He doesn't really appear to be a good enough player though. Maybe he plays sparingly?

it wasn't like Mason Geertsen played every single game and put up 30 goals and 50 assists. He has a job to do and if he chips in 5-10 goals, bonus.

Wow. That’s the best they could find as an enforcer? I thought he was playing in the California Penal League.

Dig up Gazdic or Peluso, they’re both 3 years younger.

Cant they find some 25 year old AHL vet with grit that is available not some scrub that won’t see the light of day and close to the end of his career.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Wrong thread.

 

[Osminator]

Not sure I'm ready for my first Pack game in 20+ years without the Hawk calling it... when he came on air, basically life around me stopped for 2-3 hours to watch the Pack and listen to him...

My first thought... when the sh!t hits the fan, which still happens in the AHL... that is who the Pack will send out? Fail.
I checked out the Bridgeport, Lehigh, Providence and Springfield rosters... they all got their big boys who could take care of business.

Free AHL TV preview tonight through Sunday.

We open tonight vs Bridgeport.

Some number updates for Hartford:

Richards to 19
Barron to 27
Pajuniemi is his familiar 48
Jones is 6
Robertson is 24
Schneider is 49

That's per the numbers on the AHL website which were updated this afternoon after the final Hartford roster was released.

Psyched for the game tonight! Agreed on Geersten and based off stats alone Labrie might be a better player for what that's worth. He should protect our young guys and with Bitetto willing to back teammates the pack should be alright.

Labrie past 2 years.

The Wolfpack official insta account posted a pic of the jerseys hanging in the locker room... one had a C on it and I was able to make out two A's ... curious to see who was selected. Unless they took an old stock photograph lol

Jonny Brodzinski is your 21-22 #HWP captain. Tim Gettinger & Anthony Bietto have the A’s.

 

[Osminator]

That was the MOST LAME ASSED OPENING NIGHT INTRO... EVER. That was so bad, my local beer league team with 15 spectators a night did a better job. Holy moly HFD in-game presentation team... that was terrible.

feed is fine so far. I might subscribe this year if this how the video will look.

only 720p though... when you subscribe, tell them welcome to 2021 and we want 1080p at the minimum lol

 

[Fitzy]

Any reason Reunanen isn't playing

 

[Osminator]

Is Hawk the new public address anouncer? Either it is him... or the guy from NHL 94 lol

 

[nyr2k2]

Pajuniemi with a good shot but a bit of a soft goal allowed. It's tied 1-1 late in what has been to this point a bad period for Hartford.

Bridgeport just hit the pipe.

 

[nyr2k2]

Also, Bridgeport goalie Jakub Skarek sucks. I was okay with picking a goalie in 2018 and he was the one I would have taken. Still would have rather taken him in the third than Lindbom in the second. Whatever.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Watching on hockeytv website. Great site for AHL and prospect hockey as well as NHL games.

Haven't heard anything. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he is traded shortly or, more likely, agrees to a mutual buyout and returns to Finland. He has no real path to the NHL and could make a better living overseas, whether in Liiga or the KHL or SHL.
