Othmann with 2 A. Vierling with a goal. Mc-Barker with 1G, 1A, 10 shots on goal. Grubbe 1 G, 1 A. Berard 1G, 1 A. Finally got his head out of his ass. Laba with his 7 goal of the season.
Good stories this year. McC-Barker playing great. 2 goals. 14 G, 25 P in 23 games. Vierling 4 A. 24 points in 15 games. He's overage but it's good anyway. He lost a lot during the pandemic. Barbashev needs to do more in the Q. Wake the fuck up. I'm starting to get sick and tired of our AHL team not having young players, scoring at that level. It's getting pathetic. I really liked the coach there but I'm starting to have doubts. Doesn't seem like he can coach offense from young forwards.
Othmann is doing a little on his new team. That had to be a shock to him to get dealt as the captain. Garand had 38 saves in a shutout but lost in a shootout.
Cuylle has 5 points in his last 4 games for the Pack. 8 in his last 13. Good news as he is going to be our enforcer down the line but one that can actually play the game. Has a chance to be a 20 goal guy in his prime.
We do have some good prospect news this season. McConnell-Barker has 39 points in 34 games and has been consistent this season. Barbashev is picking it up. He has 17 goals, 29 points in 33 games. Grubbe had 35 points in 68 games last year. This year he has 41 points in 33 games. Korczak has 13 goals, 27 points in 16 games. Cuylle is putting up some points now on a crap Pack team. He has 8 g, 7 points in 30 games. Vierling has 17 g, 43 points in 26 games. He's 20 in juniors but it's nice to see him like Korczak do well. Edstrom is coming on lately with 8 points in 21 games in the SHL.
Don't know why I post about prospects. I'm quite sure our dumb fuck coaching staff will ruin them. McConnell-Barker had 1 G 3 A. Looks like they have something with this kid. 21 G 47 points in 39 games. He had 49 points last year. He's a center with good size also. Barbashev continues to come on with 21 G, 34 points in 36 games now.
McConnell-Barker 2 G 1 A. 23 G, 51 P in 41 games. Been a while since we had a centerman with some size put up nice numbers in juniors. 6'2, 196. Grubbe a center, 6'3 , 200. 45 points in 38 games. Barbashev is a wing with some good size. 6'1, 187. 39 points in 39 games. Of course, Cuylle who I expect to see up here soon.
This guy is interesting. Edstrom. Listed as a center. He looked like a really good skater in the pre-season which is amazing since he's 6'7, 220. Has a mean streak also. He has 10 points in 26 games in the SHL this year. Last year he had 9 points in 43 games. I think starting next year you will start to see a house cleaning on the 3rd and 4th lines. Young players will move in. Thus, why signing Vesey IMO was dumb. Nothing against him. He's played well but you have to work in the young guys.
Cuylle is having a great year on a not so talented Pack. Almost a 20 goals. Bedard is insane. The scumbag Flyers are trying to tank their way in to him.
We have some centers with good numbers and size in juniors. Been a long time since that happened. We really need one to come through in the next few years. Edstrom who they talked about is really interesting. He skates very well for a 6'7 guy. Not sure if he's playing center in Sweden. He looked good in the pre-season.
Othmann hasn't had a great year offensively but maybe he's working on other parts of his game. Cuylle 1 G 2 A last night. 13 points in his last 10 games. 24 points in his last 29 games. 20 G 16 A on the season which isn't easy on that team. That team should be a lot more fun to watch next season as our young talent goes there. Othmann, Korczak, Grubbe, Edstrom, Vierling. Maybe Sykora. I think they will trade Berard. Don't need him here.
We have some centers with some size coming up. Maybe one can make it in a couple years. Vierling is coming on big time. He’s a great skater. Reports are he needs to bulk up.
