BlueKross Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Winnett is not on Wheeling roster anymore. I think you will see Hamilton send a couple of bodies shortly. Pittsburg I believe has only sent down Killeen. Hope we see a Delmas start tonight. Wheeling is on winning streak but their roster probably will change drastically when Pittsburg and Montreal get healthy. I don't think Malka will hurt them at all.

habsprospects Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ben Winnett was released to make room to newly signed Devin DiDiomete. As for Delmas, he will start tonight, it was confirmed a week ago. And you're right for Killeen, so far only him and also a guy under contract with WBS Penguins are in Wheeling.

BlueKross Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Delmas did get win in overtime tonight. Degon, ex bulldog is playing for Reading. Pretty sure its the same guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Oliver Dame Malka also got his first ever ECHL point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Fri. Nov 4- Delmas pressed into service after Killeen has let in 6 in two periods. Delmas shuts door, and Wheeling makes game of it and it ends up 6-5 agin. No doubt Delmas will get start against Trenton tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Delmas sailed through a win the other night. Last night however he was pulled after one when he gave up 4 on eleven shots . I know Wheeling had some late roster moves, that may be part of it. I believe the Everblades are the best team in the ECHL. The game may have been out of control because Killeen (goalie) had a roughing call, and our man Dame-Malka a fighting major + game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Another win for Delmas last night 3-2 ot against Trenton. Delmas toward top of list of ECHL best goalies. Killeen doesn't appear on list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 There was a coaching change in Wheeling today as their head coach was promoted to an AHL assistant with Milwaukee - a domino effect with the Kirk Muller hiring by Carolina. http://www.echl.com/drulia-heads-to-ahl-donatelli-takes-over-nailers-p174713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can bring them around. What we do know about Wheeling is there is precious little help from their affiliates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Dame-Malka was sent down today after St. Denis was returned to Hamilton so a little help is on the way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Dame-Malka was sent down today after St. Denis was returned to Hamilton so a little help is on the way there. Delmas gave up five before he was pulled tonight/ Wheeling loses 6-3 against Reading. I don't know if he is hurt or what, but he isn't even close to last years production.

habsprospects Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Delmas gave up five before he was pulled tonight/ Wheeling loses 6-3 against Reading. I don't know if he is hurt or what, but he isn't even close to last years production. He left that game because he fell and hit his head on the ice, out indefinitely with a second concussion (had one during training camp, either with Habs or Dogs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 At least, we have a reason for what has transpired this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsprospects Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Turns out, unbeknownst to Delmas, he had suffered his second concussion in three months during the previous period. He didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time and remained in the game, but it didn't take much time for signs to present themselves.''I don't really remember when it happened. I kind of stretched out to make a save, had my arm pulled back and fell back and my head landed on the ice,'' Delmas said. ''In between periods I took some advil and the pain in my head went away. http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/563293/Delmas-is-Recovering.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wheeling lost 3-2 to Craig Rivet's Elmira team last night. Delmas still on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Delmas started tonight after being on IR / I believe he was concussed in rookie camp and that has followed him till now, even though he played some games/ Anyway Killeen has been called up to Wilkes/Barrie, so it will be interesting to see how many of the three games this weekend that Delmas gets. Wishing him the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKross Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Apparently it may have been a second concussion.. as he hit his head against the ice in one of the games. He got the win. Second concussion/come back to early whatever. I am just trying to give him a pass on what has transpired so far in his play. I am one that believes he should have been in Hamilton this year over Mayers. I don't think that is going to happen now because Mayers has played pretty good so far.

Commandant Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Mayers is better than last year, but he still puts up stinkers. I agree I'd rather have Delmas in Hamilton. However i think the organization's thinking is that Delmas plays more as the starter in Wheeling than he would as the backup in Hamilton.... at least thats what I hope it is, because I really can't see how anyone can evaluate Mayer as the better goalie.

BlueKross Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Delmas got another win in OT last night against Toledo. He did play all three games on the weekend for Wheeling. In the game last night of interest was that P. Zanette showed up with a goal and assist for Toledo. That is the first I have heard of him since he left Hamilton. Wheeling is doing good. Delmas is healthy and getting plenty of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It seems as if the Habs' days in Wheeling could be numbered after this year. The team is up for sale and if they don't find a buyer (they seem to be insisting on local ownership at that), the team will cease operations.

dlbalr Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Mid six figures, probably a little more than half of what the original purchase price was ($1.2 M). http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/564660/Two-Months-to-Save-The-Wheeling----.html?nav=526 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
