dlbalr Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Armed with arguably their deepest lineup since the beginning of the season, the IceCaps (23-21-6) open up a crucial six game home stand with a pair of games against the Senators (20-25-3). (Line combos are based on +/- data.) Akeson - Varone - Rodewald McCormick - Paul - Bailey Krushelnyski - Nehring - Blunden Perron - Flanagan - Hagel Englund - Harpur Carlisle - Kostka Rumble - Lepine Hammond (Lines are guesses since McCarron/Carr have been sent back since their last game.) Hudon - Terry - Carr Scherbak - McCarron - Audette Farnham - de la Rose - Friberg Matteau - MacMillan - Gregoire Hanley - Redmond Brouillette - Johnston Parisi - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST for both games. AM 930 has the call. Wednesday's game will be televised on RDS in tape delay beginning at 7:30 PM EST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 McCarron's on the wing while Farnham is back at centre. Interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 2-0 Binghamton after 1. Not the start they needed, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 St. John's threw everything but the kitchen sink at Binghamton in the 3rd (the shots were 26-4) and were able to tie it up on goals from Johnston and Terry but unfortunately, the Sens won it in OT. They're at it again tomorrow, that one's televised on RDS. http://theahl.com/game-summary?game_id=1016628 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I turned it on at work, till it was 2-0 after 2 shots on Lindgren...was enough for me. Good to hear they came back. ( I see scored at 14minutes and 25 seconds apart, maybe I misheard PBP guy?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Today's lines: The game's on but I'm trying to avoid the score since I'm going to try to watch some of the tape delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 No, it wasn't pretty on either side but unfortunately it was Binghamton who came out on the end of a 6-4 game. Hudon was one of the few standouts for the IceCaps. Terry looked like he had the game-tying goal with a minute left but Andrew Hammond made quite the glove stop. The blooper/highlight of the game was Matteau's goal, his first in 21. Near the top of the faceoff dot, he took a shot that went off the stick of the defender which sent it way over the net. It hit the top of the glass and then bounced off Hammond and Jason Akeson (a forward who was standing in the crease for some reason) before dropping into the net. Now that's the ultimate slump-buster there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bergevin and Lefebvre have the most say in a call-up as quite frankly, Therrien (now Julien) wouldn't have had the time to watch the IceCaps too much. I get the sense Bergevin doesn't think all that high of Hudon and has him behind several others on the depth chart and that's why he's not getting much time as a recall. Logically, he should be coming up shortly to as he'd be someone teams may have interest in at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Sure, makes sense and LaCarriere, Lapointe, Dudley etc do attend some AHL games, so they likely chime in some as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe they see Hudon as a Locke or Dawes type, very good AHLer but that is it? But the bugger also has 4pts in his 6 NHL games and I thought played well to very good, so why wouldn't he get a string of games to see what he is really capable of vs NHLers?
