AHL: WBS Penguins Thread: Youre a prospect until youre 30 and youll like it!

[Tasty Biscuits]

First WBS preseason game tonight. I plan on watching. Plan.

Sounds like concepts of a plan.

Murashov #1 star performance incoming

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Oh cool, Roku has an app for FloSports.

Not many NHL prospects for either team.

I did not realize there were multiple Pietilas. Pens drafted one and WBS signed one.

The LHV in game entertainment host is wearing a bowtie and has a curled mustache. Needless to say, Rachel >>> that guy.

Quercia with a goal for us. LHV kinda goofed but the Pens got lucky with a pass and a downed player. And to the PP. Slapper goal from a Dman off a faceoff win. 2-0.

End of the first. Pens dominated. LHV only had 4 shots and as such Murashov wasn't really challenged. One shot did hit the post. Brickey and Ortiz the most noticeable, in a good way, players for WBS.

More of the same halfway through the second. Whoever the "director" is of this camera work clearly doesn't understand the 180 rule and it is confusion/frustrating. Our announcer saying that Ansons was either out injured last season or was playing with an injury.

Belliveau with some nice stick on puck.

Off to the PK. Killed.

Pie guy scored after a nice forecheck by his line. 3-0. Pie guy with another helper. Another goal via forecheck from that line. 4-0 end of 2. Shots are 28 to 8. Domination.

Q just blew someone up. Fight now. Not a good fight though.

Oh no, there goes the shutout. Houde was back on defense after a PP. Still, I think Murashov should have been able to squeeze that to his body.

Houde with a pass from behind the net to the point. Justin Lee with the goal. Lee with a PP goal now.

Game. Murashov 12/13.

I didn't either, wow so they drafted the younger brother after having the one in WBS for 3 games

Now I'm wondering which one I watched in camp because he looked good. Probably the older

the one we drafted are going back to college afaik, so dont think he was eligible to attend camp.

I think College players are allowed to attend NHL camps as long as the NHL team doesn't pay for it. But maybe that changed when they allowed college athletes to be paid?

No youre probably right. im just so used them not being there. dont think Lucius was either for example. Or Swanson

You're definitely right

You're right

Murashov following the Fleury & Jarry tradition of giving up a goal on the first shot.

He just stopped a breakaway on the second shot though.

Oof, another goal against. Some missed assignments from the skaters but still. And we all know that one lackluster preseason appearance means doom.

Rachel!!!

WBS clearly wasn't ready to play but they've really picked it up since they got a PP. Another good forecheck leads to a goal.

I missed the first 8 minutes of the second but it is now 3-2 Hershey. Murashov has only faced 11 shots so far.

I think the third Hershey goal was SH.

A nice cycle makes it 3-3.

 

[steelcityassault]

Quercia making a case for being one of WBS first call-ups

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Murashov with 17 saves on 20 shots. But he stopped all 3 in the shootout. Pens win 4-3.

Looks like Logan Pietila scored in shootout

Avery Hayes did not. Sully says he calls him Zucarello 2.0 though

Sully is never wrong on his forward prospect evaluations lol…

 

[steelcityassault]

Looks like WBS diehards are hoping that Jordan Martel gets an AHL contract. Guess he's looked very good down there

5 years in ECHL all over the place, never got a call-up, he's 26 yo

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Poulin playing RW today.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Broz with a goal and assist so far

 

[Ugene Magic]

Phantoms vs. Penguins

5-0 Pens

Broz, Koppanen, Koivunen, Ansons and Bemstrom.

 

[Turin]

I think Koivunen is gonna light up the AHL.

 

[Darren McCord]

WBS should be lots of fun this year.

What's the deal with Avery Hayes. 3 assist in the game and he had a pretty good camp and his only 21.

He was undrafted, but had a good couple of seasons in the OHL, especially with Hamilton in 2021-22.

Might be a nice find.

Crazy how young WBS will be especially some of these interesting prospects compared to the last handful of years. Poulin is the vet at 23.

I know some will got the the ECHL but this should be the youngest and most exciting WBS team in years.

Murashov(19)
Pickering (20)
Lindgren (20)
Beck (21)
Calvert (21)
Hayes (21)
Koivunen (21)
Broz (21)
Belliveau (21)
Ponomarev (22)
Poulin (23)

Hope he gets a contract now that the team is at 48 total.
