[Chainshot]

And Brannstrom scores!

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Brannstrom!

 

[Chainshot]

Interesting that Brannstrom has slotted into RD opposite Clague, Komarov shifts down to RD with Novikov, Johnson-Rathbone remain the same.

Metsa getting a rest, haven't looked into if it is anything more than a night off.

 

[Chainshot]

And tied on the Checkers' second shot.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Some observations:

Ostlund can fly.
Brannstrom has looked dangerous every shift
Komorov and Novikov are giants.
The last PP, still going, looked really good.
Genny cream is ice cold and going down nicely.

Did not realize that Assman and Poolparty played for the Checkers.

 

[Chainshot]

Leonard makes it 2-1 Charlotte. Bleh.

I have turned this back on and the disappointment that is the Sabres game off.

 

[Chainshot]

Murr angry - buckles Hovorka in a fight with a couple of big haymakers.

 

[Chainshot]

Clague ties it on the PP with Wahlberg doing good work in front to create a screen.

 

[Chainshot]

Clague's goal -

 

[Chainshot]

Murray's fight from earlier -

 

[Chainshot]

Third period powerplay goal by the Checkers makes it 3-2. Kinda sloppy tonight. Too many penalties.

 

[Chainshot]

Charlotte scores into an empty net. 4-2 with 2:11 left.

Full marks to the PA crew going with The Waterboys "Whole of the Moon", one of my all time favorite songs.

 

[Chainshot]

Brannstrom gets a 2nd! 4-3 late, 1:13 left.

 

[Chainshot]

Not enjoying this swoon. 0-3-2 in their last 5, several times losing games late. Not particularly impressed with Levi after his great week either. Can't help feeling like they need a goalie.

 

[Chainshot]

Amerks won 4-3 in a shootout. Brannstrom scored his third goal for Rochester, also picked up an assist on Rosen's GTG.

Yesterday was the AHL trade deadline and they sent Tullio to the Wranglers.

Jax lost in Orlando 4-1.

Went to the game last night. Brannstrom is real good at least at the AHL level. Ostlund and Rosen both had strong games. Ostlund’s passing and hockey IQ is great. Rosen has a Kucherov style to his game.

 

[Chainshot]

Nadeau also was ECHL player of the week last week for his 4-goal, 1-assist output in two wins in Allen.

Was he that bad, thought he had potential

Was he that bad, thought he had potential

Not really bad, just kinda redundant down there.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

@Chainshot Chainm do you see Brannstrom getting a few games up to see how he might look here ? I think he's friend with 26.

They played together at the U20's and I remember some casuals in B'lo thinking Brannstrom was Dahlin because he was the rover of the pair. As to if he gets a look, I don't know. I have no insight into what their plan is now and for the future. Brannstrom has been a nice add, especially with Metsa out with the crud.

 

[Chainshot]

Jax won last night, 5-2 over visiting Savannah. Laaouan has climbed to 9th in defense scoring in the league, Nadeau up to 1.11 points per game and is second on the team in scoring despite only playing 37 games so far. Close is now 4th in SV% and 5th in GAA . For comparison, Vernon is 29th in GAA and 22nd in SV%.

How was his defense specifically?
