Weekend Preview – Ghosts N Stuff

2 Comments Posted by on October 18, 2024

Wilkes-Barre / Scranton heads into the second weekend of AHL action with a home and home against a team it sees twelve times in the Lehigh Valley Phantoms who took the Penguins out of the First Round of the AHL Playoffs last Spring.

Music to Set the Mood…

–

I remember hearing this song for the very first time up in Binghamton, New York when the then Senators came out to this as their warmup music. It hit then, it hit now. With a pair with a ghost named team this close to Halloween, I find it apropos.

I miss Binghamton…

A Quote…

(yes, I forgot this last week)

The world is full of ghosts, and some of them are still people.
— Peter Straub

…but enough about who you like on Election Day.

Oh, sorry. Wrong blog. Anyway. Moving on…

The Setup

A home and home with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on consecutive nights beginning Friday in Wilkes-Barre.

The Phantoms needed a shootout to beat the Hartford Wolf Pack on Saturday in Allentown in their only action of the weekend. The Penguins scored ten goals and managed a 1-1 record, putting up six in a losing effort against the Charlotte Checkers on Saturday and then four more in a 4-1 win in Springfield on Sunday.

They scored a power play goal in each game, which was good, but allowed two shorthanded goals against Charlotte, which was bad.

They will likely roll Filip Larsson in goal in one of the contests this weekend, and which Larsson we get will be the question. Sure, his defense and special teams did him no favors Saturday, but he could have been better.

Records

The Penguins are 1-1 and the Phantoms are 1-0. Early days in the division here.

Who’s Up? Who’s Down? Who’s Out?

Please bookmark this page which will constantly update as the transactions and injuries occur.

Dan Renouf was dinged up Saturday and has a lower body injury which they don’t think is that bad, per the broadcast Sunday afternoon. Sam Houde and Isaac Belliveau have lower body injuries and are day to day and Jagger Joshua is week to week with an upper body injury. The Pens recalled Mats Lindgren from Wheeling Wednesday mid-morning.

Pittsburgh sent rookie sensation Rutger McGroarty to Wilkes-Barre in a surprising but not surprising move. Kid needs to develop and that’s what the AHL is and does. Look for him to slot in the top six this weekend and we will see how he does.

Like I said, all of those are listed on that page which updates as I get the information.

What can we learn about the Penguins this week?

The hope is that they play Lehigh Valley tight but find a way to win or blow them straight out, right? Tighten up on special teams, which I think they did on the bus ride up to Springfield Saturday night into Sunday, don’t allow two shorthanded goals and capitalize on the chances given. Easy, right?

I am not concerned, nor should I be when I look at the calendar, and you shouldn’t be either. Now if they are sitting on an 0-2 record, you have every right to let doubt creep in. But honestly, how often do you see 7-6 track meets in the AHL like you saw Saturday? Not often. They are fine. They are still figuring things out, like all the other 31 teams in the League.

Who’s in Goal?

Perfectly reasonable to expect Larsson and Sergei Musharov, but in what combination is the question. I don’t see any reason they don’t start Larsson Friday and let Musharov take the Saturday start, so let’s just roll with that.

Heh. I had this typed up already before Pittsburgh sent Alex Nedeljovic to Wilkes-Barre for a conditioning assignment on Thursday. My guess is Nedeljkovic goes Friday at home and then Larsson and Musharov board the bus Saturday afternoon and Musharov goes Saturday and Larsson backs up. Nedeljkovic will get recalled back to Pittsburgh Sunday.

Or I could be wrong, very wrong, and Nedeljkovic starts both games and sticks around.

For the Phantoms, Alexei Kolosov started Saturday for them, so expect him out of the tunnel first Friday in Wilkes-Barre and Cal Petersen Saturday in the rematch in Allentown.

Who’s Running the Show?

Beau Halkidis and Samuel Heidemann are the refs scheduled for Friday with Tyler Loftus and Justin Johnson. The Pens saw Halkidis Sunday in Springfield and can’t shake the guy. Saturday sees Mason Riley and Jackson Kozari as the referees with Michael Magee and John Rey on the lines.

Looking Ahead…

Theme of the home and homes continue, this time with the Syracuse Crunch beginning next Friday in Syracuse.

Give us a bold prediction…

Power play train continues down the tracks, with them scoring in each game. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic does not score a goal in either contest. Wilkes-Barre sweeps the weekend.

First of Hopefully a Few — Pens WIN 4-1

Well they got 27 saves from Sergei Musharov, a power play goal from Boris Katchouk and goals from Avery Hayes (his second of the weekend) Sam Poulin and Nate Clurman and beat the Springfield Thunderbirds 4-1 for their first win of the 2024-25 AHL season and Kirk MacDonald’s first win as head coach.

Now onto a home and home set with the Phantoms starting Friday in Wilkes-Barre, where this should pose an early test for two teams who meet 12 times this season.

Here’s how they lined up:

https://twitter.com/WBSPenguins/status/1845534781343191256

https://twitter.com/ThunderbirdsAHL/status/1845540008335229129

Lineup Notes: Didn’t hear the pregame so I don’t have nay obscure update on the health of Dan Renouf, who was replaced by Scooter Brickey on defense. Boris Katchouk slotted in at the top line for Raivis Ansons up front, with a lineup which had all types of jumbled lines.

First Period: Nate Clurman puts the Penguins on the board five minutes in.

–

I don’t know if that was a designed play or not, probably not when it’s Jim Huntingdon taking the shot, but the members bounce off the wall to a driving Nate Clurman was a nice setup and goal for the Penguins.

Pens took two penalties in the period but navigated through it fine.

Second Period: Wilkes-Barre tacks on two quick boom boom goals to go up 3-0.

Sam Poulin’s first of the season…

–

Then Avery Hayes with his second of the weekend in front of the net like Saturday at hime against Charlotte…

–

Two of the Penguins three goals were created of off turnovers. Nice dogged forechecking.

But then the Thunderbirds answer back with a goal from Mackenzie MacEachern when they fail to clear him out from the top of Musharov’s crease.

–

I didn’t want to say, “uh-oh” at this point. I almost did, though.

Third Period: They navigated through the waters okay, Springfield with a good push as expected but the aggressiveness bit them as the Penguins were rewarded a power play and Boris Katchouk scored to make it 4-1 and essentially put the game out of reach for the home team.

https://twitter.com/WBSPenguins/status/1845577793133822139

–

That’s some neat, tight puck movement there. Let’s hope it continues.

Three Stars: 3) Sergei Musharov (27 saves) 2) Sam Poulin (goal) 1) Jim Huntingdon (two assists)

The Good: 10 goals in two games is pretty explosive start if you ask me.

The Bad: I was struggling to find one here, which I suppose is a good thing. Call the MacEachern goal that spoils the Musharov shutout the bad here, but that’s nitpicking.

Turning Point: I’ll give it to Katchouk and the power play goal scored here. Springfield was waiting for something to develop off of the late goal scored in the second and when it never did desperation set in and instead of fumbling the ball, Katchoul scored a goal to make it three and ice it away.

Around the Division: It’s my last night camping in 2024 so I don’t think I am sticking around for the Hershey / Cleveland game to go final, the box is here if you are so inclined…Charlotted looks like a good team, shutting out Bridgeport 3-0 in the only other games in the Atlantic on this Sunday afternoon in October.

Standings: Pens have two. It’s the first weekend of the regular season. Relax, it will be fine.

Wheeling Update: Nailers start next weekend, you know that if you read last night.

Video Highlights: Pens socials will have this. It’s unseasonably warm here in Gettysburg, so I am having a cigar after this publishes. I return home Monday.

Maybe a surprise return this week if I can get the time, if not, Weekend Preview is yours this Friday setting up the pair with the Phantoms.

Let’s Go Pens!

Growing Pains — Pens LOSE 7-6

Comments Off on Growing Pains — Pens LOSE 7-6 Posted by on October 12, 2024

            vs.          

7                                  6

–

Say it with me, they are young and this is just one game.

Normally at this level, you score six goals and nine times out of ten you will win the game.

This game was the outlier.

A disastrous third period sees a two goal lead evaporate, the experienced visitors score four unanswered and the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins are on pace for an 0-72 season after falling 7-6 to the Charlotte Checkers Saturday night at home.

Welcome to the AHL, Filip Larsson.

He didn’t look sharp, but the team in front of him didn’t exactly look good structure wise or defensively, especially in the third, and this cost them. Here’s how they lined up:

Lineup Notes: They sent Taylor Gauthier back to the Wheeling Nailers on Friday and as a result the roster tracker page has been updated.

First Period: Just 94 seconds into the season, Jaycob Megna scores a goal that gives the Checkers a 1-0 lead.

Normally, I would post videos of all the goals but since there were 13 in this game and this campground Wi-Fi is spotty at best here in the Gettysburg woods, you are only going to get what I give you, and today’s not your day here.

But the Penguins would respond in kind with a pair of goals from a pair of guys whom this is going to be expected of this season, Jimmy Huntingdon gets the debut goal for the Penguins in his Penguins debut and scores to level it with the Checkers about six minutes later.

–

Early theme of the night here. Penguins face-off loss, Checkers turnover and a opportunity for the home team that they cash in on.

Emil Bemström scores his first goal of the season that puts the Penguins up 2-1.

–

Pretty play. Get used to it.

Second Period: So to this point the Penguins had the games first three power plays and weren’t able to do anything with them. Mackenzie Entwhistle gets a shorthanded goal to go that ties the game for the Checkers but then Avery Hayes’ dogged termination in front of the net guarded by Chris Driedger pushed Wilkes-Barre back ahead.

–

I’ll let my tweet (post?) set up this next sequence here for you:

Aidan McDonough (get used to this name) for the visitors and then Broz here…

–

That’s a hell of a shot by the kid right there.

Third Period: It was a bit of a concern that the Penguins had all these power plays with nothing to show for it, but :51 into the third period, Filip Král scored his first of the season to make it 5-3 Wilkes-Barre.

–

So five past Driedger, a good goaltender, setting the tone for the final period, a multi goal lead and the Pens are off to the races right? Right?

Wrong.

Four unanswered for the Checkers as Trevor Carrick (power play at 2:44), Rasmus Asplund (shorthanded (second of the night for the Checkers) at 6:26) and Aidan McDonough twice (7:37 and 15:09) completing his hat trick make it 7-5 for the Checkers.

Not a great debut for Filip Larsson, whom I think will back up Sergei Musharov Sunday afternoon in Springfield (likely the plan anyway) and a few that he should have had stops on, the Asplund shorthanded one comes to current mind, as it was a breakaway from center ice and in.

Say it with me again, they are young and this is just one game.

Marc Johnstone got one late with 22 seconds left to play that gave them faint hope, but they never bagged the seventh.

–

A note, heard them mention that Dan Renouf wasn’t on the bench, picking up a knock of some sort in the first period.

Three Stars: 3) Emil Bemström (goal, assist) 2) Jaycob Megna (goal, assist) 1) Aidan McDonough (hat trick)

The Good: They managed to get six on an NHL caliber goaltender. Questions about the offense are put to bed early, it would seem. Guarantee me six a night and you will win more than you lose for sure.

The Bad: The power play looked bad, they couldn’t win a face-off and they gave up seven when they scored six. They need to figure that out and quick.

Turning Point: The Asplund shorthanded goal seemed to take all the air out of them. They cough up a two goal lead in the third and it just avalanched from there. Bad, bad, bad.

Around the Division: The defending champs Hershey Bears are off to a good start, blowing out the Cleveland Monsters 7-3 the night they raised banner 13 to the rafters at Giant Center….Providence gets their first win of the season, beating Bridgeport 3-2….Springfield beats Laval 3-1….Lehigh Valley wins in a shootout 4-3 over Hartford.

Standings: Hershey, Springfield, Charlotte, Lehigh Valley, Providence 2, Hartford 1, Bridgeport and the Penguins 0

Wheeling Update: Nailers are still in preseason, will get going next week.

Video Highlights: Click at your own risk:

Back at it Sunday in Springfield. Talk to you then.

Weekend Preview: Good Luck, Babe!

1 Comment Posted by on October 11, 2024

Back and marginally better than ever here in Year 14 of this silly little blog. Thanks to all the Day 1ers who have stuck with it since the inception and welcome all new readers. I’m just trying to capture the spirit of the thing.

A word about me and this weekends action. If you are seeing this on Friday afternoon when this posts, I am likely somewhere on I-81 South, thundering my camper to Gettysburg, PA for the last camping trip of the season. I have been everywhere man, from Dover, PA to Cape May, NJ and from Watkins Glen, NY to the Delaware shoreline.

That said, I won’t be in attendance for the first game of the season Saturday night when the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins light the rocket on Year 26 and host the Charlotte Checkers, whom they opened with last year at this time in North Carolina.

Provided I get good Wi-Fi, I’ll watch and recap both Saturday and Sunday’s games. These camping trips are scheduled months in advance and this trip is a rain check from last year. We were originally scheduled to be in Gettysburg last year when it rained and we had to postpone.

Anyway, don’t fret when you look to Section 104 and don’t see me. I will be back next Friday for Game Three against Lehigh Valley…

Music to Set the Mood…

I wanted a “Song of the Summer” vibe here and this, I think, ties in nicely. It was either that or one of my favorite Yacht Rock songs I play out by the pool.

I think it ties in nice, as we all love this team and wish them good luck.

The Setup

A home game against Charlotte and a Sunday road trip to Springfield.

A bit of a Preview, say…

Off the hop I don’t expect Hershey to three peat. Also, don’t get mad when you see me refer to them as the 13ears on social media, as I think it works with the 13 Calder Cups Hershey have amassed and the back to back run our friends to the south are riding.

No, I think it’s Providence’s turn to have a run at the top, and I think they jump out to a hot start and contend all season long. They were the 2 seed late last Spring and I think they are primed to pick up where they left off.

1 – Providence – see above.
2 – Hershey – I still think the Bears contend, don’t get me wrong.
3 – PENGUINS – If either one of the top two ursine named teams slip, yeah, I see an outside chance that Wilkes-Barre can have a few good weeks at the top of the division.
4 – Hartford – I think the Wolf Pack will be sneaky good. Underestimate them at your peril.
5 – Lehigh Valley – I think the Phantoms are primed to be better than people think, but I am not sold on Ian Laperriere as their head coach and have never been.
6 – Springfield – I don’t think the Thunderbirds miss playoffs like they did last year. I expect them to contend.
7 – Bridgeport – Could slightly be better. They finished last last season and the only way is up.
8 – Charlotte – Someone has to finish last. I could see it turning out just OK for the Checkers but could also see them as a non-contending team.

I am normally wrong, very wrong, with these, so please take these with a grain of salt.

Records

This is the first game for the Checkers and Penguins. The Thunderbirds open Saturday with Laval.

Who’s Up? Who’s Down? Who’s Out?

I have dedicated a page that I will (try to) constantly update throughout the year. It’s pinned at the very top of the home page if you are viewing on your computer. If not, it is here. I’ll refer to it throughout the season provided I stay on top of it, which I should, because it would be just moving names around.

Anyway, the lineup is missing Joel Blomqvist who is up in Pittsburgh for the injured Alex Nedeljkovic. Vasily Ponomarev is also injured up in Pittsburgh. Those are the only two players you could see again in Wilkes-Barre this season.

But that’s OK because Filip Larsson and Sergei Musharov are good goaltenders and they are about as strong as they will be at forward and on defense. It’s a good club, one that should contend, but don’t get your hopes too high. It is October, after all.

What can we learn about the Penguins this week?

New coaching, something about a renewed sense of optimism with the organization running good prospects through the pipeline. But it all can fall apart in an instant. Pittsburgh is old and not expected to contend, but they still have a guy named Crosby on their team and can upset a few apple carts along the way but they are a cold start away from upending it all and blowing it all up for a future in a few years. How does that affect the farm team on Coal Street is anyone’s guess.

I think the Penguins are favored to beat the Checkers and the Thunderbirds this weekend and a 2-0 start is within the margins of error for the Kirk MacDonald Era. Where does it go from there? What if they are down 3-0 against the Checkers at the end of the first on Saturday night?

Who knows. You bought the ticket. Now it’s time to take the ride. Strap in.

Who’s in Goal? 

Toss a coin regarding Larsson and Musharov. Musharov saw a ton of preseason minutes but Larsson played the whole game Sunday against the Phantoms. I think it may be Larsson Saturday and then Musharov Sunday.

For the Checkers, expect Chris Driedger and Colten Ellis for Springfield on Sunday.

Who’s Running the Show?

Veteran ref Jim Curtin and Andrew Bell get the duties on Saturday with J.P. Waleski and Devon Gale on the lines.

Sunday in Springfield sees Beau Halkidis and Mathieu Menniti in the arm bands with Dylan Blujus and Nick Briganti on the lines.

Looking Ahead…

Home and home with Lehigh Valley, who the Penguins didn’t see till January last season. Pens are home next Friday against the Phantoms then are in Allentown for the 7:05 7:15ish start on Saturday.

Give us a bold prediction…

They get a shutout, and score a pair of power play goals in each game and start the season gangbusters.

Weekend Preview

2024 WBS Training Camp Roster Announced

2 Comments Posted by on September 26, 2024

Hey, is this thing on?

After a nice long summer I hoped would never end, it’s apparently time to get back into the blog and put it to use again.

Coal Street on Thursday published their initial training camp roster, so I figured I would pop in here and offer some thoughts.

First things first, I expect them to compete again this season. Pittsburgh is getting older, so with that and realizing that they need bodies on the farm for the next generation, it all starts here.

Now, are they a Cup contending team? Hardly. Do I expect them to compete for the top two spots? It’s a reasonable expectation here in late September. Things, as you know and if you have followed this blog for the however any years I have been running it for, always change with trades, call ups and injuries.

That said, let’s get into the group.

Guys You Know

Raivis Ansons, Isaac Belliveau, Scooter Brickey, Mathieu De St. Phalle, Taylor Gauthier, Sam Houde, Justin Lee and Logan Pietila are all guys you should be familiar with.

I would expect, out of this group, to have Belliveau, De St. Phalle and Houde to stick for the duration. Ansons is a tweener, Gauthier is a guy that will probably end up in Wheeling because there are too many better goaltenders in the pipeline which have already clogged things up (a good thing) Pietila could get an extended look, but I think Wheeling is in his short term future.

Tryouts

Jaxon Castor, Filip Forsmark, Keeghan Howdeshell, David Jankowski, Matt Koopman, Jordan Martel, Zachary Massicotte, Chris Ortiz, Matt Quercia, Luke Richardson and Jared Westcott.

Sickos remember Castor, Martel and Quercia. Ortiz was with the organization a few years ago and bounced around. Forsmark, Jankowski, Koopman, Martel, and Westcott have Wheeling ties.

Howdeshell had 10-12-22 in 67 games with Worcester of the ECHL last season but was a -20. Massicotte has a Wheeling contract. Richardson has a Greenville ECHL contract.

Rest of the Group

Jack Beck, Atley Calvert, Kyle Jackson, Gabe Klassen, Mats Lindgren, Bennett MacArthur and Phip (not Philip) Waugh

These guys were all signed at some point by Coal Street during late Spring or early Summer.

Out of the group, Klassen captained the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL last year and had 106 points in a breakout year. He had 60+ points the last two seasons prior with Portland. He could be a diamond in the rough type guy to keep an eye on depending on how well he transitions from juniors to pro.

All in all, no real surprises. There will be more cuts coming from Pittsburgh which will undoubtedly elbow a lot of these guys out.

Potpourri

Coal Street announced a new third jersey Thursday as well.

I think they look nice.

–

AHLTV was folded into FloHockey. It’s a price increase but gets you ECHL so you can watch the Nailers, SPHL, other hockey leagues and gives you access to everything Flo has to offer. The Penguins will be offering a code or a link to season ticket holders, so you won’t have to pay, I am told that there is more to come on that front.

Apparently, and this is something I am seeing for the first time, the preseason games will (or should be) broadcast on Flo. The first one is the Pens traveling to Allentown on Tuesday, so it will be interesting to see if it actually airs on there.

–

Preseason games start next week. Like I have in years past I won’t be recapping them individually, but will likely summarize them all at the end of next week. Also, the home opener falls on my last camping trip of the season (these things are planned months, if not years in advance) so don’t fret when you don’t see the big tall guy filling the seat at center ice on opening weekend, I am out camping on my last trip.

Everything else, (Weekend Previews, etc.) are on track as usual.

Getting closer, I guess. Wish I can jump in my pool (which is still open by the way)

Talk to you again real soon, and Let’s Go Pens!

Catching Up — NHL Free Agency – Day 1

Comments Off on Catching Up — NHL Free Agency – Day 1 Posted by on July 1, 2024

Debated even doing this, but since it’s mid-July I want to see if I still have zip on my fastball.*

First things, first, congrats to the Hershey Bears for going back to back and winning their thirteenth title over Coachella Valley in six games last week. Hershey’s road was a bit bumpy to get to 13 but the issue was never in doubt. They nearly lost the Conference Finals and needed overtime in Game 7 to advance past a game Cleveland Monsters team who came back from 0-3 to force Game 7.

Coal Street has a Head Coach. Kirk MacDonald is his name (e-i-e-i-o) (sorry, I had to) – we will see what type of team MacDonald has in the fall.

Monday was Day 1 of NHL Free Agent Signing Day. Here‘s a rundown of the signings that will likely impact the AHL team this upcoming season:

  • AHL All Star for Hartford this past season.
  • Power play point machine.
  • Assist merchant.
  • This is a big addition to the WBS blueline.

  • Just won a Calder Cup with Hershey. Carried the Bears at times and if you ask anyone in Hershey, they don’t win 13 without him.
  • 33 points in the regular season, 14 more in the postseason.
  • I liked his game with Hershey. Good addition.

  • You will fall in love with this guy by the end of October. Put him on a line with Marc Johnstone and let them cook.
  • Hits like a truck.
  • Fights like a grizzly bear. Penguins have their enforcer.
  • One concern I have on him is he’s prone to suspensions a lot because he oversteps sometimes and the League smacks him.

  • Defensive defenseman. Played with Colorado Eagles last year.
  • Blocks shots.
  • Solid addition.
In addition, a while ago, Pittsburgh signed G Filip Larsson who had a sub 2 goals against and a .920 save percentage playing in the Swedish league last year. Pittsburgh also re-signed Alex Nedeljkovic so your night one pairing projects to be Joel Blomqvist and Larsson.
  • Jonathan Gruden also re-signed.
  • Jack St. Ivany also, but he’s likely an NHL-er.
  • Gabe Klassen, Atley Calvert and Jack Beck to American Hockey League contracts.

They will all need waivers.
Guaranteed dates:
  • Saturday, October 12
  • Friday, November 29
  • Saturday, December 14
  • Saturday, January 18
  • Saturday, February 15
  • Saturday, March 22
Schedule should be out soon. No surprises here, sadly but I will break it down when it gets here.

If there is anything worthwhile in Day 2, I will drop in again, if not talk to you again when the schedule drops. Don’t forget the sunscreen.

* – yeah, I still got it.

J.D. Forrest / Kevin Porter Contracts Non-Renewed; WBS Head Coaching Vacancy

Comments Off on J.D. Forrest / Kevin Porter Contracts Non-Renewed; WBS Head Coaching Vacancy Posted by on April 28, 2024

I thought I was done with the blog till July. Guess not…

Announced at 11 a.m. on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins have decided not to renew the contract of Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins head coach J.D. Forrest and assistant Kevin Porter. Other assistant coach Sheldon Brookbank’s name was absent in the release this morning.

The news comes as a surprise to me.

First, to be clear, this wasn’t a firing. This was a non renewal of a contract. Forrest wasn’t your issue. It was lack of depth and filling those spaces with guys who couldn’t function at the AHL level, much less NHL, and then when they could, you trade away for yesterday’s garbage.

He graduated Jack St. Ivany and Valtteri Puustinen; Joel Blomqvist is next.

He got this 6 cylinder Pinto of a franchise to a few points away from a second round bye in arguably the toughest division in the AHL.

Unless you’ve found the fountain of youth it will be more of the same under a different coach.

And I’m sorry but he didn’t trade away Rem Pitlick, Alex Nylander and Ty Smith. Radim Zohorna is not an NHL player, much less AHL.

Ask yourself this question: does AHL coach of the year Todd Nelson still have this team playing in the playoffs?

Forrest is a good man. Yeah, I called for his head many a time on here but then I stepped back, took a breath and looked at the bigger picture. He will find work, quickly.

Time is ticking on the new coach of this team. Have to think it will be a highly sought after position.

Pittsburgh, WBS
