Moose Season Discussion

[voyageur]

Moose are comedically bad. Up 2-1 and on a PP, give us a shortie with an incredibly lazy play by Coghlan. Then AJF takes a penalty right after and Texas scores on the PP and take the lead.

Be interested to know your take on how the Moose blew a 2-0 lead.

The team had a 2-1 lead going into the 3rd, managed to put up four shots all period (including two after Texas already scored an empty netter to put the game away) and lose 4-2. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2025 Manitoba Moose!

They are a dumpster fire this year.

They just REALLY struggle to generate any offence. The first goal was a nice deflection and their second goal was off the rush but other than that it felt like we never had any sustained pressure, not even on the PP.

I think the problems start with the defence. Not one of them can make a good breakout pass or move the puck up themselves. The forwards aren’t great either. Guys like JAD, AJF, Toninato, and Shaw should be scoring much more as AHL vets.

Our leading goal-scorer is Parker Ford with 13. Texas, meanwhile, has guys with 23, 18, two guys at 17 and two guys at 13.

Kahkonen was also an adventure in net. No offence with below-average goaltending equals trouble.

True North has got to get their shit figured out with the Moose.

He’s healthy scratched I believe. @ICdave — anything to report?

Unfortunately I've been out of town all week. Believe we are supposed to get an update post-game.

Strong 40 but some tough bounces and a strong 3rd for the Stars = 4-2 loss for Moose:









With games in hand on Iowa and Chicago they could have used a victory this evening. Two more coming up against the Admirals to close out the homestand. We've got tickets if anyone wants to go in the IC Zone for the game on Sunday.

It seems like the low end Jets prospects aren't even AHL quality...and the vets they have aren't very good or just are all simultaneously having terrible years. The defense is bad, the goaltending sucks. It's just a big steaming pile...

Here is the update:


I'm back at practice next week so will get update (provided he doesn't play this weekend which seems unlikely).

How was Salomonsson's play? Seems like he has taken a back seat offensively since Coghlan went down. Ashton Sauntner is probably not driving up his offensive production.

I didn’t get a great look at him to be honest, as I was with a group of people.

He looks much more poised than you would expect a 20-year-old rookie to look, was usually making the smart play, and had a physical edge to his game.

I’ll really zero on him next time I get out to a game.
