Texas Stars (AHL) Discussion ‎II

[BigG44]

By process of elimination you have to assume Austin Smith is headed for coming back to AHL.

With 14 forwards on the current roster, he has been the primary call up from the ECHL.

The problem is if only 2 forwards make the jump, that likely means Smith still isn't in the full time rotation. Eakin is the only forward I truly feel confident saying he's a NHL lock, but I believe another Top 9 option comes with him. I still hope that Sceviour though is in the mix for the 12th-14th spot as well.

If only two guys jump to the NHL, I think that's good news for Vause and Hedden for full time duty. Austin Smith still probably only gets spot duty because it seems obvious after this latest call up he still hasn't earned Willie's trust.

R. Smith named AHL Rookie of the Month for December.

[FrailSwan]

Glennie in tonight. Meh.

[BigG44]

Vincour is healthy as well.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Am shocked it's not another match up against the Barons again tonight.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Houston camera guy is asleep. Camera isn't moving at all, just focused on goalie.

[piqued]

Oh wow, the camera doesn't move?

[Stars99Lobo37]

Jordie Benn! Stars lead 1-0!

[piqued]

Benn's point shot goes in.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Aeros unis are really sharp.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Wow. Houston with a couple of terrible passes/clears. Lucky Dillion didn't get it on net.

[Stars99Lobo37]

To the penalty kill.

[piqued]

I just mentally put a DIDN'T READ LOL over those dancing kids and mascot.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Really good road period so far. Stars have played well.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Wow. Vincour had a wide open net if he had half a second longer.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Powerplay Texas

[Stars99Lobo37]

Ugh! Great chances for a 2nd, can't get it in.

[piqued]

That was a great pass by Vincour to go across the box like that and set up that chance.

This is an interesting ongoing experiment with him seeing time at the point.

[Elysian]

Gonna wind up going to the game Sunday with my lady, might go with a friend and his wife too.

[Stars99Lobo37]

End of 1, Stars up 1-0.

[Alistar]

Well they've figured out how to outshoot and outchance the opposition, would be nice if the results started going the same way..

I just like watching them play. They never seem to get much outworked and you can tell they'll have success in the future if they can keep up this level of performance.

[Stars99Lobo37]

What's with the dog mascot....?

[Stars99Lobo37]

My goodness. What a job to get the puck back in the offensive zone after losing the opening faceoff.

Jamie O to the box.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Powerplay Goal. 1-1.
