Manitoba Moose 2017-18 Season

[Joe Hallenback]

Watch about 10 Moose games so far this year and from the start of the year till now my expectations of Niku have grown. I thought it would take him longer to adjust to the ice and physical nature of the AHL but he has adjusted more quickly then I expected. He is going to make losing Enstrom much easier in the future. He is a bigger version of Toby, that smart slick puck mover who has a habit of getting pucks on the net as well.

Really excited about his future

 

[Atoyot]

Two games against the Marlies should be interesting. I was surprised to see that Toronto isn't the offensive powerhouse I thought they were and that they actually got to 1st with great defensive numbers. Should be fun to see how the leagues top team in goals for (Moose - 106) does against the best team in goals against (Marlies - 49).

Or you could watch Niku and slowly come to the realization that a left side of. JoMo/Kuli/Niku or Toby on a 1 year won't be so bad.

JoMo/Trouba
Toby/Buff
Kuli/Myers
Niku/Poolman
Melch/Chiarot
Nogier/Kolstalek
Green

That's 13 guys

Our D prospect pool really isn't so barren with Samberg, Kova and Stanley in the mix.

I find you're lack of faith in Vesalainen disturbing. *Darth Vader voice

Well, he is not in the lineup anyways, Marlies either resting him or already released for the WJC.

Being outshot 7-0 early, still scoreless though.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Ha....Marlies commentator initially calling him Nic Pey-tawn (did he think he was French?.) Then amended it to Pey-tan

Being outshot 7-0 early, still scoreless though.

Marlins we're pretty good early but that shot total is a bit deceptive. Hutch had a couple rebounds and the Moose couldn't get shots through

Moose have been dominated this period. Lucky to be tied.

Yes he's already joined Sweden

PP was kind of sad also. Horrible zone entries.

Lemieux was the best player out there IMO

Robinson is an interesting player. Big guy who wasn't drafted, couldn't really skate or score......or anything. Now at 26, he skates like the wind, and is showing serious offensive flair this year. Maybe he'll be an NHL'er afterall. We've seen plenty of these big guys turn out to be late bloomers, might be worth resigning to a more serious deal.

I was watching him at the jets camp pre season he's got some filthy mitts also would be interesting if he grew into a decent pro hat size is always intriguing for sure

 

[204hockey]

The team is strong offensively, but...
Niku was 7th in Liiga D scoring last year.
Niku is 5th in AHL D scoring this year.

It isn't all about the team.

I think he's definitely got better hands than morrissey but I wld agree on the defensive side j mo is far ahead

PP was kind of sad also. Horrible zone entries.

Lemieux was the best player out there IMO

The Marlies just line 4 guys up at the defensive blueline to deny zone entries. Moose need start dumping the puck in deep and have 3 guys pursue the dumpin hard with speed.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Nice start. Stokowych blast Petan in front

1-0

 

[Aavco Cup]

Moose much better this period. More zone time. Kostalek has had a couple really good shifts. This might be the best I've ever seen him play

where are you watching by chance?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Did I speak too soon? kostalek's next shift was pretty rough in his own zone. Lemieux almost made it 2-0

Yea, buying the whole package is too expensive but buying a couple of games a month isn't too bad

Hutch looking good. So is Sparks at the other end
