Good night for prospects last night. Chmelar 2 G 1A . Othmann 2 goals. Berard had 1 G 2 A. Perrault 1 G 2 A.
Colorado played for the first time in 2 weeks and Laba didn't play. Othmann didn't play last night either. Berard had 1 G 1 A. Having a great offensive start with 5 G 8 points in 5 games. Aspinall another 6'7 monster they drafted went 2 G 2 A now has 11 points in 11 games in junior. Sykora had a SH assist. Rempe was -2. Probably sulking he got sent down.
On a positive note. Sykora had 1 G and 1 A last night in a Pack 3-2 OT win. He now has 5 points in 7 games which is very good news for a player so young in the AHL. He has what we need more of to beat Florida. Two more players like that are Othmann and Laba who unfortunately are dealing with some kind of injury. Haven't heard anything.
Word on Laba is he is a little dinged up but should be back soon. Roobroeck our latest 6'7 monster scored his 2nd of the season last night for the Pack. Robertson had 2 A. Now has 4 points in 6 games. Good news as a lefty because Miller is doing his best to play himself off of this team.
Some good news with prospects other than our pile of shit big club. Roobroeck and Mc-Barker both had 1 G 1 A in the Pack's 6-3 loss. Korczak 1 A. He is a +6 on the season and Roobroeck and Mc-Barker are both plus players. Perreault had 2 A. Laba once again didn't play. Making his decision to go back to college now look like the wrong one.
Rempe with 1 g 1 an and seven shots on goal with Sykora getting two assist. I think he was sulking for a while, but maybe he’ll get it together now
Perreault with 1 G 2 A. +11 this season. Sykora and Roobroeck are putting up some points for the Pack.
I watched that BC game on ESPN2 right before the Rangers. They are pretty stacked. He plays on a line with Leonard and James Hagens, the projected #1 overall. Fortescue looked ok.
Korczak, Roobroeck, McC-Barker, Sykora, Chmelar are all having some moments for the Pack which is good. Perreault is doing well. Not the offense of last year but he's probably working on other parts of his game. Laba started out dominant. Whatever injury he had slowed him down for sure. Hopefully, he will get over it and start rolling again. Garand is starting to evolve. Had a shutout last night and has a save % of .917 so far.
Our young AHL goalie Garand stopped 41 out of 42 shots last night. Save percentage is now at %.931. If I was a team like Colorado, Edmonton, Detroit, Montreal, Utah, I'd be trying my ass off to steal that kid. His value is going up like he has a rocket strapped to his ass. The Pack are not a very good team. Especially with the call up of Berard and Othmann out. Garand also has raised his level in the playoffs two years in a row a mind boggling amount. I'm almost at the point now where I would want a prospect in the top 20 on the top 100 list for him. With how he is playing now, I would rate him in the top 25 prospects.
Or they could just mold him into a much cheaper starter than Igor and trade Igor in a couple of years. Shows why moron Drury didn’t have to sign Igor to an 8 year contract
Sykora who plays the game much like Berard but is bigger now has 15 points in 27 games for the Pack. He's more of what we need on this team. Non stop motor who is a pain in the ass to play against. Now if I was coaching this team, I would make Sykora our new Jan Erixon when needed. I'd call him up and put him out whenever Hughes is on the ice and tell him where he goes, you go and hound his ass all game. That's what I would do. https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2022/06/27/adam-sykora-scouting-report-2022-nhl-draft/ Garand now with a 2.12 GA and a .931 save %. Of course the Rangers hating media probably won't even put him in the top 100 list. IMO, he's a top 25 prospect in the top 100 list. His playoffs the past two seasons were dominant. Robertson in 23 games has 14 points and is a plus 4. IMO, trade Jones and Vaakanainen along with Lindgren at the deadline and bring up Robertson and Mancini for the rest of the season. Then maybe bring back Lindgren next season if the money is right. I don't think he's the problem. Fox hasn't shown up ever since he got hurt in the playoffs. I also think that injury set Lindgren back a lot. He probably came back 2 weeks too early.
Pack bounced back with a 5-1 win. Garand 29 saves out of 30 shots. Sykora 1 G. Roobroeck 2 A. Othmann 1 A. Sykora is developing nicely.
Sykora has 10 points in his last 13 games. Offense is picking up some. Roobroeck has had a nice rookie season so far with 14 points. Robertson has had a good year with 15 points and a +6. They need to decide what they will do with him. Keeping him any longer will sink his value. Either call him up or trade him. Laba looks like he made a mistake going back to college. Colorado was supposed to be strong this year and they fn blow now. The farm system other than 3-4 players is thin. Years of giving away picks and atrocious drafts from retard Gorton.
