Bport ran into Hershey. No team in the AHL matches up with Hershey. Teaching the kids how to win is 1 thing but providing very good AHL lifers like Aucoin is a whole nother story. Hershey/ Washington spend a lot of money on tweener talent unlike Bport, especially this season.
Hershey had a mix of good young players coming of age and tweener talent that can basically score at will in the AHL.
I believe that there was a little “hometown” scoring with the shots on goal. There were a couple of “shots” that reached the goalie but didn’t register as a shot. That had usually been the case at Bridgeport, clearing passes that reached the goalie between the pipes registered as a SOG. They were outplayed last night. Remember how this team was built, with focus on the younger players. I don’t know what the organizations expectations for this team was but remembering the long scoring droughts, the fact that Matt Moulson was signed with the intention to be in Bridgeport this year ended up leading the big club in goals this year. This is farther than I would have thought back in January and aside from the second period of game 3 and game 5 this team held its own against an offensive powerhouse of the Hershey Bears.
Once again thanks Mike for your great coverage. Since our goal is to get players ready for the next level I think we had a good year.
Since Hershey’s goal is to win the Calder cup they may also have a good year.
For years we have yelled for Ricky to stay in the net. I think it is time for the organization to get him out of the net. You can point to anything but the rehab games in my view got us to Hershey instead of Worcester or higher..also got the big club into a spiral they couldn’t get out of.. IMHO … of course…
Seven shots between the pipes….what team came to play last night? Hard to take any bright spots from this series. The Sound Tigers were out played and certainly out coached………again. Everyone says the system works, but looking at the Islanders results as well as our…does it? Another season in Bpt. that ends with a whole lot of woulda, shoulda, coulda.
Hopefully this organiztion teaches these kids how to win and what it takes to win, at this level and above since this is all about “player development, player development, player development”. Hey Cap, winning is also about development too look at Washington from the East coast league, the American league, to the National league. Guess they figured out how to “develop” ey…????
