PCM Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Roche called Wild General Manager Doug Risebrough late last season. He wanted to know why, with Brad Bombardir hurting, the Wild called up Curtis Murphy from minor league Houston. Cool story about Roche and Risebrough. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Hale/Martin It seems to me that they both made a mistake on Thorton's goal tonight, but I suppose that is to be expected from two youngsters. Regardless, it is good to see them skating together and getting a shot in the NHL this soon after leaving college. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Martin got hammered behind the net. Of course, I didn't get to watch the whole game, just bits and pieces in between the wild game Quote
jeffj Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 It was good to see David Hale out there even during the OT. Coaches must have a lot of confidence in him already. Thorton was a monster. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 It was really good to see Hale out there playing. I hope he can keep playing and his illness will stay away. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 According to the box score, Martin got 24 shifts and Hale got 20. Also, Martin served on the special teams and hale did not. Interesting, no? Quote
sprig Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 there are some posts on poi about comments on Hale and Martin's play last night on the nj message board; can't find a message board on the nj site, however? did find a wild board, but no info; did Roche play last night? Quote
jeffj Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Roche definitely played. He was in two separate pictures in the Chicago Sun Times today. Both of them where he working in front of the net. Quote
dagies Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I only saw the last 3+ minutes of the Wild game. Roche got extensive ice time as the Wild tried to manufacture a tie. On one face-off in the right circle, Roche was too far back protecting the blueline to pick up the puck which the center dropped back to him. By the time he got there so did "traffic". Had he gotten it quicker I think Travis would have had a fine opportunity to get it an open wing or bring it closer to the slot as we so often saw him do in college (while everyone was tied up). Regardless, in the last 30 seconds Travis had at least 1 maybe 2 shots on goal. One was not really a tough save but it appeared in the final flurry he had a shot that carombed across the crease and had there been a winger who could get ahold of it there was an open net for it to be knocked into. Beyond that I didn't see the game so don't know how he played. Bombardir got his bell run early on (saw a replay) and couldn't get to his skates, but was skating a shift again by the end of the game.

tboneund Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I watched the Wild/Blackhawks game on ESPN and Roche got a lot of power-play time during the game. I hope Bombardir is okay...he got nailed last night. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Interesting article on the top 10 undrafted players in the NHL http://www.nhl.com/intheslot/read/impact/2...undrafted3.html Quote
tboneund Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Mike Commodore was sent down to Lowell of the AHL. http://www.calgaryflames.com/cgi-bin/news/..._num=0000000934 Quote
HKNTSMN Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=49562 Jason Notermann Top rookie scorer in ECHL thru 5 games.. Teammate is goalie Arturs Irbe former NHL allstar... Plays at War Memorial arena of Slapshot fame.. Remember the Federal League!!! Quote
sprig Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Way to go, Jason. How many pipes and crossbars so far Quote
dagies Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Thing is it appears he's missing those crossbars now! Way to go Jason! That's great. Hope he continues to light it up. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Either that or he's taking a TON of shots . Congrats to Notes...keep it up!!! Quote
jk Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Congrats, Notermanns. Also, SI apparently has listed the Top 30 AHL prospects. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/hock.../ahl.prospects/ Number 9 looks like this: ------------------------------ 9. Ryan Bayda, LW, Lowell (Hurricanes) -- After three solid seasons under the tutelage of coach Dean Blais at the University of North Dakota, Bayda had little trouble adapting to the pro game. Leading the Lock Monsters in scoring despite playing in just two thirds of their games last year, the 22-year-old winger finished his first professional season with a combined 15 goals and 42 assists between Lowell and a 25-game stint with the Hurricanes. Despite a good scoring touch, Bayda, who was taken in the third round of the 2000 draft, has a bright future because of his tenacious defensive play. The Saskatchewan native is a strong forechecker, is adept at killing penalties and is not afraid to dig for pucks in the corners and along the boards. Considering this style, Bayda may have to add some muscle to survive a full season in the NHL but likely will likely get another chance this season. ----------------------------- Nice press for Ryan and UND. Quote
sprig Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Has Bayda stayed up with Carolina (he was playing with them last weekend)? No doubt his defensive abilities are what will allow him to stay up if it happens. That's true of all those that hope to stick. Edit: Guess he has, he's now listed on the roster: http://carolinahurricanes.com/team/default.asp Quote
dagies Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Kevin Speedwak is tied for the team lead in scoring with 4 points (2g 2a) in 4 games with the South Carolina Stingrays. Aaron Schneekloth is also on that team but has spent some time up with Grand Rapids of the AHL. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 David Hale has a groin injury... Where's that Devils person? Dropping the puck again? Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Sejna's (sp) doin' well tonight against the Red Wings with 2 goals 5 minutes into the 3rd period... Quote
