mxm262 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 the AHL AllStar game is on MSG... wow is that place empty, i do feel bad for the players for that reason My guess they announce around 7,000. I think it looks like a decent crowd. It's a larger venue. Ive been to many old bullies games, and one of Devils games last year. A 4-5,000 crowd is a decent atmosphere. Wish I could have gone to this, scratching me head as to why this is on a Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Obviously its not a real game with no defense being played but if anyone is curious: East lost to West 8-7 (SO): Urbom: Assist, -2, 1 Shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AHL is a weekend league, I don't think there's room in the schedule to skip an entire weekend, especially losing a weekend to Christmas.

Weekes Head Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 i went to the events this weekend. it was neat hearing the devils pa announcer last night. the mascots were annoying as hell. we were on the glass and the binghampton senator guy kept fvcking with us. at one point he was pretending to scoot by everyone in the row and stuck his ass in all of our faces. when he did that, he knocked my brother's beer all over his girlfriend. some event staff chick came down and gave us some balled up nasty napkins and then walked away. what a pain. the intermission was wonderfully pathetic. they had the mascots come on the ice and play a mini game. best part was one of them didn't realize he still had a cover on one of his skates so when he jumped onto the ice he busted his ass. got up, tried to skate and fell again. lol. they also failed on the whole chuck a puck exercise. everyone in the crowd just started hurling the pucks, pelting all the mascots and the kids that were on the ice trying to do a score-o type game. they had to make multiple announcements pleading for the fans to stop throwing the pucks ha. urbom is huge. didn't realize how big he is.

RowdyFan42 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Albany defeated Adirondack 3-0. Scoring for the Devils was Sestito (4) (Wiseman and Kinkaid), Harrold (2) (Veilleux and Zalewski), and Josefson (2) (EN, Wiseman and Gionta). Kinkaid had a 30 save shutout to go along with his assist to earn 1st star. Sestito and Harrold earned 2nd and 3rd stars respectively. Here is the gamesheet. Highlights and line-up below: If anyone watched to the very end of the video, you'd have heard that this game set a Lowell/Albany franchise record with 8194 in attendance. Unfortunately, they were quieter than you'd think for a crowd that size, but the game itself was rather quiet, especially in the first two periods. It was the largest attendance figure for an Albany AHL game since March 15, 2002, when the River Rats lost to the Syracuse Crunch 5-2 in front of 8402 fans. The AHL is a weekend league, I don't think there's room in the schedule to skip an entire weekend, especially losing a weekend to Christmas. Exactamundo.

nessus Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Is much known about Pielmeier? I know his stats don't look great, but I did not realize that he's so young. I wonder what the chances are of him making it. I guess more starts in the AHL will tell us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the chances are of him making it. I guess more starts in the AHL will tell us. This is just my speculation but I feel like the Devils may not tender Pielmeier a contract after this year. They'll still have Frazee and Kinkaid in Albany or one of them backing up in NJ. They'll also have Clermont in the organization who would be stuck back in the ECHL if Frazee and Kinkaid are in Albany. I'm going to guess that Wedgewood turns pro so who knows where they fit him in but I think he'd move ahead of Clermont on the depth chart and they'd want him in Albany. It looks like too much of a full house to bring Pielmeier back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Albany Notes: Defenseman Matt Corrente, out since Dec. 27 because of hamstring injury, returned to the lineup, although Kowalsky kept him out of the middle game of the trip against Syracuse.Nathan Perkovich, who had been out since Jan. 18 because of an upper-body injury, made his return a week ago Saturday at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, although he was kept out of Sunday’s game in Providence. Still sidelined are defensemen Jay Leach (lower body; out since Dec. 16) and forwards Matt Anderson (upper body; Jan. 16), Stephen Gionta (ankle’; Jan. 28) and J.S. Berube (upper body; Jan. 21). Of those players, Berube is the only one likely to return soon. Kowalsky said Berube is near 100 percent healthy but will need to skate more before he sees game action. Kalamazoo defeated Cincinnati 4-3: Young (Assist, +3, 2 PIM - Cross-Checking), Haczyk (+1, 2 Shots), and Clermont (DNP).

Jerzey Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Who is Joe Whitney and why isn't anyone talking about him? He leads the team in points and he's a RW. Why hase't he gotten called up yet but we still see Palmeiri? Different roles I guess? Edited February 19, 2012 by Jerzey Devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Albany defeated Binghamton 4-2. They have now won 5 of their past 6. Scoring for the Devils was Sislo (8) (Whitney and Mills), Zalewski (11) (PP, Perkovich and Whitney), and Zharkov (9) (Mills and Tedenby) and (10) (EN, Whitney and Sestito). Kinkaid made 27 saves on 29 shots. Zharkov and Mills earned 1st and 2nd stars. Here is the gamesheet. Below are the highlights: Their next game is Monday against Bridgeport at 1:00. Kalamazoo lost to Chicago 4-3: Young (Goal, +1, 2 Shots - 3rd Star), Haczyk (-2, 1 Shot), and Clermont (19 Saves on 23 Shots). Harry Young is regarded as a defensive defenseman destined to be a career minor leaguer but he has put together some point production lately. Over his last 4 games he has 2 goals and 2 assists. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Who is Joe Whitney and why isn't anyone talking about him? He leads the team in points and he's a RW. Why hase't he gotten called up yet but we still see Palmeiri? Different roles I guess? Albany signed Joe Whitney as an undrafted college free agent out of Boston College over the summer. The biggest obstacle for him to overcome is his size, listed on the AHL website as 5'6 170 lbs. Despite this he has been producing a solid rookie year in the AHL. Season: 48 GP 12 G 17 A 29 Pts -2 22 PIM 10.17 SH% 2.46 S/G Obviously because of size and experience, the NJ Devils would rather have Palmieri up for a 4th line role.
