Prospect Info: Hurricanes select G Jacob Kucharski #197

[Anton Dubinchuk]

headed to the omaha/north dakota game this weekend, hoping to see him play. surprised there hasn’t been a post about him in over a year. dude’s been forgotten about lol. playing well this season so far, has given up just 9 goals in 5 games he has appeared in. impressive.

It would be fun if he turns into a player because then our pipeline is just Kooch and Kooch.

 

[HisIceness]

The adventures of Kooch and Kooch, the puck stops here.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Odd that he appears to be splitting games despite his competition putting up very inferior stats. Perhaps they’re playing a lot of back to backs, though.

One of the few things that will inspire a dood to drive that far. Koochie.

I'm still team Kooch here. Goalies are voodoo, and you never know.

I wonder what school he’ll play for next year

 

[Bub]

I hope both Kooches make the big squad one day, and someone plays this song every night:

Just a quick update:

It looks like Kooch will be starting for Chicago on Saturday. He's on an ATO for now.

May the force allow him to stop all the pucks.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

May it go better than LaFontaine’s time in Chicago.

We won't have to deal with whiny U of Minnesota fans so we're good there.

"Whadda mean a 24 year old NCAA player signed a pro contract? Shame on professional sports team for stealing our player who plays for free!"

LET'S GO SON

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Kucharski did okay for Omaha, great is a stretch. He didnt even play in the post season despite being older by 3 years and a much bigger goalie.

 

[CandyCanes]

Does he like being called Koochie?

Kooch & Koochie!!

 

[LakeLivin]

Kooch & Koochie!!

Am I the only one who sees potential problems here? I'm afraid it might end up like Highlander: with regard to Kooch

 

[Stickpucker]

As far as I'm concerned the more Koochie the better.

 

[Lempo]

That's the way, AHA.

AHA

I like it

 

[DaveG]

we can assume that Kooch was saying "Take me on"

 

[To Be Determined]

I believe he had another year of eligibility. He told the ncaa "i'll be gone"

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

As far as I'm concerned the more Koochie the better.

Can we handle two at once?
