Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Bloomington Bison Thread: Part XV
- Thread starter nyr2k2
- Start date
Unofficial: Kinkaid with 42 saves on 43 shots. Keith stopped 4 of 5 breakaways.
Lundkvist looked good in the defensive zone; not so good in the offensive zone.
Robertson looked good.
Richards centered Ronning and Greco on a new line. Richards with two goals and I believe Greco and Ronning with two assists each.
Ronning is a smart hockey player.
Pack beat Springfield 3-1. Brodzenski with an empty netter.

Glad to hear. The more minutes and the more comfortable Robertson gets, the more solid he’s going to start looking...
Glad to hear nils it’s playing well too.
I had high hopes Richards could be our 4th C next year...
He’s had a bit of a rough season, hopefully he finishes up well. He looked pretty good last season when called up.
I don’t think Ronning will ever get a chance with NYR. I think he’ll be gone by next season to try to break in the nhl with another team...
How did Ruesschoff look? Is he still playing well?
Ruesschoff along with his line mates had a new agenda. Instead of working the puck in the corners and behind the net, last night them and most of the forwards were driving to the net front. New system? The defensemen and the forwards weren’t prepared when the passes didn’t connect or rebounds went behind them. That’s why Kinkaid faced so many breakaways. Five of them ended up on net. Richards I believe will be that NHL forward one day. He got to play with good players and he responded. Could have been a victim of poor line mates that are unable to drive play? So Justin spent most of the past games pinned in his own zone?
All this opinion is based on a 6 game sample size though. Other posters here have been watching them all year so they will have a much better read than me.
Ruesschoff with the 1st star. Looked great. I could see that if other teams scout the Pack that they might want him in a trade. Too bad he plays LW.
New lines started last game. Ruesschoff/Brodzinski/Lirito.
Robertson/Lundkvist strong game. Nils has a laser shot; he scored on the PP. The Richards/Ronning Greco line also played well. The Wolf Pack took 8 minor penalties. Here’s the official recap:
Wolf Pack snapped a nine-game point streak for the Providence Bruins in the head-to-head rivalry on Saturday night with a 5-2 victory at the XL Center in Hartford. Five different players lit the lamp for the Pack in the win, while captain Jonny Brodzinski added three assists.
Nils Lundkvist scored his second AHL goal 11:44 into the second period, getting Hartford’s powerplay off the schneid. Lundkvist took a pass from Brodzinski and blasted a heavy shot from the point through traffic to break a 2-2 tie. The goal stood as the game winner, giving Lundkvist his second game winning goal of the season.
For the fourth time in a row, the Wolf Pack found themselves trailing. Adam Húska came out to play a puck but mishandled it and turned it over to Joona Koppanen. Koppanen had a wide-open net and deposited his ninth goal of the season just 2:56 into the contest. The goal gave Providence the icebreaker for the eighth time in as many games in the season series.
The Wolf Pack fought back and tied the tilt just under two minutes later. Brodzinski took the puck deep into the Bruins’ zone, then fired a backhand pass into the slot for Matt Lorito. Lorito quickly fired a one-time shot that beat Kyle Keyser for his second of the season at 4:33. The Pack took their first lead of the game 5:02 later as Austin Rueschhoff buried his 12th goal of the campaign. Lorito took a pass from Brodzinski and got a high-danger scoring chance but was denied by Keyser. Rueschhoff followed up the play and put the rebound home at 9:35.
The seesaw first period continued just under seven minutes later at 16:32. Justin Brazeau checked in, scoring his seventh goal of the season. Jack Studnicka and Cameron Hughes picked up the helpers.
The Wolf Pack took over the game in the final forty minutes, scoring the game’s final three goals. First, Lundkvist lit the lamp on the powerplay at 11:44 of the second period. Then, Patrick Khodorenko scored his fifth goal of the season 9:44 into the third and final stanza.
Ty Ronning tapped the puck to Khodorenko at the side of the Bruin goal after taking a pass from Anthony Bitetto. Khodorenko took the feed, then danced in front of the net while going forehand to backhand before tucking the puck in beyond an outstretched Keyser. The powerplay goal, Hartford’s second of the night, was Khodorenko’s second against the Bruins this season.
The scoring was punctuated with Ronning’s career-high eleventh goal just under two minutes later at 11:37. Anthony Greco drove to the net but was denied by Keyser. The rebound popped into the slot, where Ronning was waiting to pounce. The goal gives Ronning four points (2 g, 2 a) in third periods this weekend.

If people would just go back and look at hid development over in Sweden it's clear how he handles transitions. He takes them slowly, working from the defensive zone out. The 'flash' to his game doesn't arrive until the remainder of his game gains a comfort level to bring it there. It's not a surprise that his offensive totals lag a bit behind some expectation (which were nuts)

He's a smart player who makes his line mates better and obviously being named captain must be good in the room. A very smart signing.
Belleville goes up 2-1 on a breakaway with 4:30 to go. Looked like it hit the post and banked in off Huska.
With the goalie pulled, puck comes to Greco open in the slot and he goes high glove to tie it.
EDIT: Belleville wins early in OT.

Pack recalled Sanchez again and signed some dude awesomely named Abbott Girduckis.
- Sep 1, 2010
- 9,988
- 7,942
wanted to find a photo of the back of Girduckis' jersey, but no luck
anyway, Pack currently with 8 F's on AHL deals/PTO's (Fritz, Whelan, O'Leary, DiGiacinto, Sanchex, Lorito, Luchuk, Girduckis)
will be interesting come late season,
the roster entering AHL post-season could look quite different
some call-ups return,
some Euro guys seasons end and maybe come over (Henricksson? the kid with Traktor?)
then when guys like Othmann, Cuylle, Rempe, Vierling, Korczak, Grubbe can arrive as CHL seasons end (... and UDFA invites)
and typically some college guys on try-outs or ELC's
- conference regular seasons started ending last weekend(ECAC for 1) so each week a few more teams' seasons will be ending
Pack also re-signed Fritz for next year (AHL deal). He's a solid AHL player and I think it's good to bring him back.
With Brodzinski and Fritz re-signing, it almost, ALMOST makes you believe that Hartford isn't some toxic shit hole that everyone is dying to leave ASAP.

Girduckis has been a stud in Jacksonville but at 26 its a little too old to consider a prospect.
