I honestly don't think he saw him until the last second when he braced himself.

Lindbum allowed 3 goals on 26 shots but picked up the win for Greenville Jacksonville. Hooray!

Just WTF is going on with Wolf Pack? Forwards chasing the puck, no continuity, no f***ing anything. Are coaches trying to accomplish player development and improvement? JFC it's an amoeba chasing the puck - reminds me of 5th grade soccer games.
Do the Hartford coaches actually get paid¿? For what? Get shit together or f***ing give up. The players deserve far better than what's behind the bench.
Maybe the prospects are not that good. Who knows
I thought they played the same system as the Rangers. Sounds familiar at timesChris Drury is throwing time and money down the drain with Hartford. An utterly useless attempt to improve the NYR.Maybe the prospects are not that good. Who knows
Since Drury has such a reputation for micro-managing every decision within the NYR organization, I'd love to see a sportswriter aski him about HWP. He's a joke.

Which of those top prospects are in Hartford?
Henriksson, Cuylle and Roberson were 2nd round picks. The rest are later round picks, UDFAs and guys on AHL contracts.
Yeah - of our top picks, 2 never touched Hartford, 1 was good there, and the other evacuated to Russia every chance he could get.
Rempe and Mcllrath had a huge dossie-doe at Centre ice in Hershey. Matt held his own and seemed to hurt Mcllrath with a couple of shots. Then at the end Dylan got in a good punch and decided to throw down Rempe to the ice while he had the chance.
When the both got in the penalty box, Mcllrath seemed to yell over to Rempe to ask if he was okay. Looked like Matt shook his head to say yes he was good.
Bears scored right after that. Game tied 1-1 . Hartford goal Welinski.
While I am typing this, Domingue just miss played the puck.
Hershey up 2-1.

End of the 2nd Hartford leading 3-2.
All goals scored by Wolf Pack defensemen. In the 2nd period Ben Harpur scored a short-handed goal and Ty Emberson scored his first of the year with Karl Henriksson getting the primary assist for his first North American professional point.
Johnny Brodzinski (age 29) reminds me of watching Marcel Dionne in his last season. The opportunities are there, he’s just not capitalizing. Phil Esposito commented on Dionne’s play that year saying “there’s a time at the end of a player’s career when the hand just don’t do what the brain want it to.” Hope I’m wrong.
So far that 2nd was the best period that the Pack have played up to this point IMHO.

Rempe is no joke with the fists. Great scrap with McIlrath. 20 year old going with one of the toughest left in the A.
Pack won 4-2. 170 foot empty net goal by Will Cuylle to seal it.
Knoblaugh had Rydahl, Henriksson, Cuylle, Emberson and Harpur on the ice at the end of the game when Hershey pulled their goaltender.

Rempe is an interesting one. Last year in the prospects games he still looked like Bambi in terms of leg strength and core strength when fighting. I haven’t seen him this season but if he was hanging with McIlrath, it’s a safe assumption that’s no longer the case. Even as an 18 year old he was getting around the ice pretty well to deliver hits. If he continues to develop his strength and his overall game while marinating or improving his speed, the Rangers will probably have their next 4th line tough guy home grown.

Rempe did all right there but I would definitely give the decision to McIlrath. Those last couple punches Rempe had turned away from and really didn't see coming and that happens when you kind of lose your bearings.

McIlrath's balance is still terrible
It's a big thing that kept him from being an NHLer
f*** kyle jean all my homies hate kyle jean

It is a shame that he could not even make the NHL as enforcer at wing.

Lots of credit to McIlrath though. His game has never really changed. He’s had a few cups of coffee in the NHL. He was not the best pick at 10, but his character and leadership are evident.
In saying that, he’s a legit very tough SOB. Rempe held his own. You can tell he has little fear in general which is a huge plus. Like most guys his size at his age, he needs to keep developing his core and lower body strength to help improve his balance but he stood in there the threw with one of the toughest guys in the AHL (and he would probably be one of the toughest in the NHL if he was called up).

It was never the right pick, but he seemed like a good guy. I would’ve liked to see him make it as a regular here in some capacity. I think that knee injury really set him back.
