dlbalr Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 It's opening weekend in St. John's as the IceCaps (1-1-0) take on Rochester (2-0-0) for a pair of games. (Get used to these mini two-game sets, there are a ton of them this year.) It doesn't sound like any of the injured players are ready to return for the Caps just yet; Markus Eisenschmid will be available for St. John's if they want to use him (he didn't go on the road trip). (Based on previous +/- data plus some guesses.) Catenacci - O'Reilly - Akeson D'Amigo - Schaller - Bailey Rodrigues - Varone - Baptiste Dupuy - Ellis - Nevins Ruhwedel - Donovan Robak - Leduc Prapavessis - Austin Ullmark Andrighetto - Hudon - Holloway Carr - McCarron - Thomas de la Rose - Dumont - Scherbak Crisp - Eisenschmid - Gregoire Barberio - Ellis Hanley - Dietz Bennett - Lernout Fucale Puck drop is at 6:00 PM EST. AM 930 has the call. Quote
Meller93 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 My bud is at the game tonight, I'll try to get a couple pictures of the game! Quote
dlbalr Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 A couple of changes from last game - Fucale gets the start in net while Eisenschmid is in for Miceli. Nice reward for Miceli after scoring the only goal last game, a seat in the press box. Quote
dlbalr Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Andrighetto opens up the scoring. Hudon and Holloway with the helpers. My ears nearly burst from the static in the radio feed. It's flawless during commercial breaks but when the game is on, the audio is horrific. Is it just me with the problem? (I'm using the link at the bottom of the first post.) Quote
Meller93 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Yvan cournoyer at the game according to my buddy? Awesome to see that Quote
dlbalr Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Andrighetto scored again, Thomas had 2, and Holloway added an empty netter, Caps win 5-2. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1014724 Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Interesting that Condon staying up changed Fucale's fate. Quote
Dalhabs Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Hope Holloway continues to produce. Might be just what the habs PP needs. I remembering him being great on PP during his SHL years. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Good to see crisp going right after Kearns last game(or when ever that was), after he jumped miceli. Crisp kicked the shit out of him Quote
dlbalr Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 3-1 St. John's in the 3rd. Ellis, McCarron, and Thomas with the goals. Tokarski in net. No de la Rose for the Caps so Miceli draws back in. Quote
dlbalr Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 And a PP goal at that. 2 PPG's in a game is rare based on the last few years. (Heck, 2 PPG's in a week last season was an accomplishment...) Quote
dlbalr Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 6-2 the final and the IceCaps are on a winning streak. Nice night for McCarron as well with the hat trick. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1014734 Quote
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Not a bad night indeed for big mac Quote
JCPetit Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Big Mac will be a force. Strong along the boards, he is a presence in front of the net. It's nice to have a good kid like him in the farm system. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Did anyone watch the game? Just saw highlights, third goal was a beauty Edited October 18, 2015 by Stogey24 Quote
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I watched the Habs tonight but listened to the home opener over the radio. It was a horrible feed though Quote
DON Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Thomas had some nice goals, great to see Fucale get his 1st pro win and Morgan Ellis stood out also.. . Quote
Link67 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) boy whoever it was that said McCarron was not even going to hit 25 points in the AHL and struggle to be a 4th liner in the NHL in an article I read somewhere around here must feel the slight winds of crow creeping up their spine. from what I saw in this game, McCarron looked every bit the big, strong, nhl 3rd line center with some offensive upside he is pegged to be. In his established years, with his skill set and size and willingness to get to the net, he could easily become a 15 goal scoring 3rd line Center in Montreal capable of flirting with the 40 point mark.

DON Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Cart before horse, see if the big sluggo can even skate with pros first, but he had one impressive game for sure. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I agree, it's only one game. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves Quote
Commandant Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 boy whoever it was that said McCarron was not even going to hit 25 points in the AHL and struggle to be a 4th liner in the NHL in an article I read somewhere around here must feel the slight winds of crow creeping up their spine. from what I saw in this game, McCarron looked every bit the big, strong, nhl 3rd line center with some offensive upside he is pegged to be. In his established years, with his skill set and size and willingness to get to the net, he could easily become a 15 goal scoring 3rd line Center in Montreal capable of flirting with the 40 point mark. He had a great game, but when his totals for his other 3 games are 0,0,0 i think we are going to need more than one game to say he will be capable of being a consistent scoring. Lets not forget that the last two habs players to score 4 goals in a game are Jan Bulis and Lars Eller, neither of whom has proven to be a consistent scorer (though some still hope Eller will be).... Overall great game for McCarron, but now he has to follow it up. Quote
