Moose Season Discussion

Gonna be huge for their forward depth.

Also, not surprised they start winning when they finally get a defenseman that can break the puck out and a goalie that can stop pucks. Lundmark looks a lot better playing with Heinola as well.

Is Torgersson hurt?

Is Torgersson hurt?

I think he is sittng, they need a good run to have any chance at playoffs

Is Torgersson hurt?

Nope.

Is Torgersson hurt?

Moose tend to cycle a lower line forward or two during back to backs. Torgersson being a candidate for that is a little telling.

 

[AtomicJets]

Torgersson has been a letdown... He was expected to take a step forward this season. Seems like he's gone backwards instead.

And Henri Nikkanen has totally fallen off the map. 0 points in 31 games... What the heck is that!

 

[Atoyot]

Moose down 2-0 after the first, but honestly were the better team. A few notes:

Toninato-Gus-Fjallby are a line, Gus has 3 of the best chances for the Moose so far.

Whenever Heinola-Lundmark are on the Moose have them hemmed in.

Whenever Bauer-Sautner are on, the Moose are hemmed in.

No Torgersson tonight, but more surprisingly no Zhilkin.

 

[Atoyot]

Lambert snipes one early in the 2nd from Chibrikov and Heinola, 2-1.

Immediately after Gustafsson with a beautiful high tip that goes off the post. He's fun to watch at this level.

It's weird how Fjallby can look borderline effective at the NHL level, and then just looks awful at the AHL level. He's never stuck out in a positive way on the Moose.

Viel from Toninato and Heinola on a powerplay drawn by Chibrikov. 2-2.

Have what’s-his-face’s concerns about Lambert’s hockey IQ been put to bed?

The "Press Box Line" (AJF-Toninato-Gustafsson) starting to dominate this game for the Moose.

Gustafsson especially. He's been the best player on the ice tonight.

 

[Atoyot]

Another great chance for Gustafsson created by a good strip from Malott..

 

[Atoyot]

Moose down 3-2 on a power play goal against, going to the powerplay with ~5 minutes left.

 

[Atoyot]

Refs seem to miss a high stick on Lambert (haven't seen a replay) resulting in an easy empty net goal for the Wranglers. 4-2. That's the final.

Moose special teams look like the Jets... Not good.

Lambert goal already featured above.





(I wrote Chibrikov but it was Lambert who got the slash).

Have what’s-his-face’s concerns about Lambert’s hockey IQ been put to bed?

Yup, he's really starting to use his tools quite effectively.

 

[Atoyot]

Toninato with a highlight reel goal to tie it up 1-1.

 

[Atoyot]

Chibrikov and Lambert score in the shootout to win.

I don't know if it's backed up statistically at all, but I feel like louder goalies (Delia, Holm, Pavelec, Thomas) tend to do better in shootouts than quiet positional goalies (Helle, Lundqvist).

 

[ICdave]

*Lambert obviously. So annoying to not have an edit button. Guess I should do a better job proofreading my tweets.

The QO nazi says “No QO for you!” at the end of the season.
