Belleville Sens Talk

Hogberg has a 1.78 GAA!

Yeah, but 4 games only

As I said years ago, Hogburglar is the man.

Could have used 1.78 in those three 5-2 losses against the Habs.

P.S. I'm joking, of course. Geeze!

Hogberg is 24 years old, 6'5", and 220lbs. His stats in Sweden were great, his stats this year are great (very small sample size). It was last year he had some struggles in the NA pro ranks. Let's get him up here soon and reward him, give him a couple NHL pay cheques, and have a look.

He needs time though.  A good solid year in the AHL.  And then, where is Gus going in this scenario?  To the ECHL, I guess for now.  But Hog needs pro reps if he's to make the NHL, then Gus need ECHL reps, then pro reps, then both of them will have to deal with Daccord who is probably looking to turn pro late in the season and is sporting a sick .952, 1.27 this year after a .909 last year.

Nice depth, but they need pro experience badly.  Which, oddly enough, puts McKenna and or Condon in a bad situation, because they shouldn't really be playing too much down there.

EDIT: Daccord has a .930 in 20 games - which is unreal. Hockeydb didn't update for some reason. 1st in the NCAA in wins, shutouts and top 5 in a number of other stats.

Batherson sent back to the AHL.
Probably a good idea. Gave him a taste, saw him show some productivity but it wasn’t sustained.
Go back to Belleville and keep at it.
Probably will end the year with the club anyways.

Yeah, probably common for a young player like him to produce with an elite C, but when that elite C isn't there there needs to be more productivity.

I'm guessing he's back for Friday's game v. the Devils.

Probably. If he can play with Duchene again, that's fine.

The Killer B's are ON! Mann just said that Brown will play with Balcers and Batherson on his wings tonight.

Hogberg got pulled after giving up 3. They were down 3-0 and 4-1 and pulled out a 5-4 win with Gustavsson stopping 18 of 19 in relief.

Balcers scored on the PP. Batherson has an assist. Brown did not do much (1SOG, no faceoff stats). Luchuk got his first pro goal.

Not that I like correcting you (I really do), but Luchuk had goals in the ECHL this year, which is pro hockey.

Correct away. No issues here.

It's wolanin to start watching big time according to belleville fans. He loves rushing the puck up the ice and is an a1 puck mover

Oh yeah, forgot about Wolanin. When we trade Ceci, hopefully he gets up here to stay.

I hope Wolanin turns out well enough to help us forget what a bust Logan Brown is.

lol he'll take a while to adjust. He's done OK so far after injury.
