This just seems like another mistake Lou has made, not necessarily with the cap but in terms of budgeting. He has wasted a least 2 million in players signed and this jumble mess he has going in Albany.

hm? how did he waste 2 million? pelley or fraser might get claimed. if not, i think he can find homes for them later in the year when there are injuries, either in NJ or elsewhere. the rest of the players named are on two-way contracts.

I was thinking along the same lines as Jason

I figure any Kalamazoo news can also go into this thread...

http://blog.timesuni...kalamazoo/9605/

The Albany Devils have announced that goaltender Maxime Clermont and forward Bryan Haczyk will begin the season with the organization’s ECHL affiliate in Kalamazoo.

[thefiestygoat]

Albany lost to Springfield 6-3. Zajac, Anderson, and Corrente scored for the Devils while Frazee stopped 18 of 24 shots. Zajac was named the 3rd star.



There next game is tomorrow against Bridgeport at 4.

Albany lost to Bridgeport 4-2. Wiseman scored the first Devil goal with assist from Harrold and Urbom. Sislo added the other Albany goal on a penalty shot. Kinkaid stopped 19 of 22 shots in his professional debut. Wiseman was named the 2nd star. Here is the game sheet. Below are the highlights (limited but better than nothing I suppose):


There next game is against Connecticut on Friday at 7.

The New Jersey Devils have assigned defensemen Joe Sova and Harry Young to the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL, the Albany Devils announced today.

Burlon still hasn't suited up for Albany yet but I guess they'll get him in the rotation this weekend.

[thefiestygoat]

Albany picked up their first win of the season with a 3-2 shootout win against Connecticut. After falling down 2-0, they got goals from Whitney and Anderson (PP, assist from Sislo and Zharkov) to tie it up. Taormina scored the only goal for either team in the five round shootout. Kinkaid stopped 30 of 32 shots and was perfect in the shootout earning the 1st star. Whitney was named the 3rd star. It was a fight filled game with Zharkov picking up his 2nd career fight. Here is the gamesheet. Below are the highlights.


Their next game is against Worcester Saturday night at 7.

[thefiestygoat]

Albany fell to Worcester 6-1. The lone goal scorer for the Devils was Zharkov with assists from Gionta and Urbom. Frazee made 25 saves on 31 shots. Here is the gamesheet. I'll edit in the highlights if a video gets posted...

Their next game is tomorrow against Binghamton at 4.

K-Wings defeated Cincinnati 3-1: Clermont (DNP), Young (+1, 2 PIM, 1 Shot), Sova (E), and Haczyk (2 Shots).

[Devs4LIFE]

3 assists in 5 games for Urbom, not a bad start.

[NewarkDevil5]

So Jeff Frazee's got a 6.0 GAA after 2 games... Maybe Clermont would do better as Kinkaid's backup?

Edited by NewarkDevil5, 16 October 2011 - 05:37 PM.

[thefiestygoat]

Albany lost to Binghamton 4-2 after blowing a 2-1 lead in the final period. Scoring for the Devils was Zalewski (Gionta, Zharkov) and Taormina (Henrique, Anderson). Kinkaid stopped 19 of 22 shots. Zalewski had 7 shots and Taormina was the 2nd star and the video below shows the nice move he put on to score the goal. Here is the gamesheet. Below are the highlights.


Their next game is Friday against Hershey at 7.

Clermont hasn't cracked .900 in SV% in the QMJHL. I know everyone around here hates Frazee because he's old for a prospect, but he'll probably split games with Kinkaid (who hasn't been Georges Vezina either so far), and he'll be fine.

blog.timesunion.com/hockey/new-jersey-recalls-kinkaid-again/9783/

Kinkaid’s recall to New Jersey was foreshadowed by fellow Devils’ goaltending prospect Maxime Clermont, whose tweet earlier this morning hinted that he had been reassigned to Albany, suggesting that a roster spot would soon be opening at the AHL level.

With NJ, Albany, and Kalamazoo not playing till Friday, I assume all of these moves are for practice and we probably won't see Clermont get into an AHL game. Unfortunately I wasn't aware Clermont had a twitter account and it has since been shutdown like McKenna's was a few years ago.

[Triumph]

that idiot at the times-union blew up his spot, just like TG. except that TG pretended like he was sorry about it.

[RowdyFan42]

Fiesty: The account's still there, just the tweet itself is gone.

Weird, after I clicked the link to the individual tweet and got the account doesn't exist thing, I tried to go to his main page but that was down as well.
