Moose Season Discussion

I see Brad Lambert is not in the lineup again tonight. Anyone know what’s ailing him?

Illness. It's why he missed the game in Milwaukee on Wednesday and why he missed tonight's game and the one on Sunday.

Moose keep rolling in the New Year as they defeat the Griffins 3-2; improve to 3-0-1 in 2025:

Good on King, stepping up for Lambo. Winning streak is unfamiliar territory for the Moose, hopefully get on a roll.

Nice to see kk have a win. Interesting to see Shaw and Ford with as many goals as Chib. Lucius playing better and better.

Makes you wonder where he'd be without those 2 season ending surgeries.

New year, New Moose as they win fourth straight (points in five straight) defeating the Griffins 1-0:

Thanks for the detailed recaps, @ICdave -- next best thing to being at the game, and often better than streaming them (over here at least).

Great to see Lucius getting a string of games and picking up points in most, and Chibby continuing to develop as a consistent playmaker and scorer.

Points in every game in 2025 -- who'd a thunk it a few weeks ago?

Gallant can really fight, good showing by Empey

Does the AHL not have the helmet rules?

Don't think so. Although they seem to break them sooner than they used to. Depending who's fighting

That is the worst fight call by a broadcaster in the history of hockey fights.

Not getting killed vs Gallant is a good result. Nice use of the Domi Laraque spin cycle kept Gallant a little off balance.

Coghlan back to the moose. With Phillips coming in and Salomonsson returning from injury in a week or two there is suddenly hope the moose will have reinforcements.

It was an optional practice today for the Moose. Brad Lambert (illness) was back and he's good to go. Dmitry Kuzmin was skating although he was traded shortly after practice ended.

Moose lose 3-0 and 5-0 at home to Toronto this weekend. This team is just bad.

I’ve pretty much written off this year, but maybe next year with Yager and Barlow….

Was doing colour both games so not easy to get my usual level of clipping done. Then again nothing happened past two games that really merited clipping.

This team's lack of ability to score (Captain Obvious) is killing them. They just had no flow. Poor passing. No attention to detail.

And they lost Jets prospect Nikita Chibrikov to a lower-body injury on a really odd play and he did not return to the game. There wasn't an update after from assistant coach Morgan Klimchuk.

Any update on Salomonsson? He was nominated to the All Star game, which is in two weeks. Was supposed to be back after Christmas according to Mark Morrison. Setback? I believe his was a shoulder injury so probably want to be on the safe side there.

It must be 2 different environments for players going between the Jets and the Moose this year.

Two updates for Jets prospects on Moose:





Here is the link to the practice report which includes lines & D pairs.

Without Chibrikov, and Lambert and Lucius now split up, and at C, I'd say the best prospective winger down on the farm is Parker Ford.

If Lowry is banged up I wonder about calling up Mason Shaw as teams may get more aggressive against the Jets without their leader. Definitely that Montreal, Boston, Washington road trip probably has some hard hits coming and after whistle specials on the docket.

I'm pretty sure a few days ago it had been stated he would be back in around 2 weeks, so maybe late January/early February.

Edit: Saw Dave's post. Looks like it might be sooner for Salomonsson.
