dlbalr Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 After a lengthy road trip to start the season, the IceCaps (2-3-1) return for their home opener against division rival Rochester (3-2-0). Jacob de la Rose won't be available this weekend with a fractured finger while Max Friberg (undisclosed injury) is questionable. I'm assuming Carr will be available after being sent down but a lot of that depends on whether or not he was notified last night in the hopes of catching an early enough flight. (Based on previous game's +/- data) Carrier - Catenacci - Bailey Schneider - O'Reilly - Baptise Rodrigues - Nylander - Cornel Vaive - Vail - Kea Falk - Austin Burgdoerfer - Fedun Bennett - Strachan Kasdorf (Guesses based on injuries/roster movement and last game's lines) Hudon - McCarron - Andrighetto Carr - Terry - Friberg* Matteau - Audette - Gregoire Broll - MacMillan - Scherbak Hanley - Barberio Samuelsson - Lernout Racine - Johnston Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST, AM 930 has the call.

It depends - if St. John's gets a junior team eventually when the Habs leave but keep the IceCaps name, then yes, there's a shot that they'll one day get a new coach. Since they keep bringing Lefebvre back despite struggling annually, it's getting harder and harder to envision the scenario that ultimately leads to his departure.

dlbalr Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Tonight's lineup: I'm surprised Carr isn't there - I guess they actually just decided this morning to send him down which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Andrighetto just scored to give St. John's a 4-3 lead. Scherbak, Gregoire, and Samuelsson have the other goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With exact same lineup and a different coach what do you expect will happen? Instant playoff team & better development of the kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Matteau (from McCarron) EN goal and another win. Even Brady Vail & Mac Bennett couldn't turn the tide. Nice to see they came back from 2-0 and 3-2 down. MacMillan with couple assists and nice to see Scherbak get one, Hudon had late breakaway but could bury it. They said Lindgren keep them in the game in the 1st, even giving up 2. http://theahl.com/game-summary?game_id=1015987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense, in particular Lernout, seemed lost, or very weak and sloppy around their own net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
