vadvlfan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 As long as Sestito is in the organization, I think he is going to be the traditional 1st call up. Whitney is 5th in the AHL in scoring but his 5'6, 170 lbs stature may be something that holds him back from ever getting a chance. Stephen Gionta is even listed bigger than Whitney at 5'7, 185 lbs. Interestingly enough both Whitney and Gionta spent 4 years at Boston College. Maybe if Whitney manages to stick around and be productive long enough in the AHL he'll get a chance (his AHL numbers are better than Gionta's) but I still think they'd be more likely to call up a guy like Sestito or Timmins instead of him. Whitney was the first 2 way contract signed this year. I guess we shouldn't be shocked if Whitney was called up. This is a luxury Lou hasn't had in years. (a larger pool of players capable of stepping in) Kelly plays a very physical game. I think he's an AHL signing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Great to see Kinkaid dominating. A lot can happen between now and next season, but hopefully Kinkaid is truly a candidate to be the Devils' backup in 2014-15, to the tune of 20 games or so. The Devils can only keep rolling the dice with Marty for so long, and they need to know next season if Schneider can handle a 60+ start workload. Would also be great to find out what Wedge can do with 50-60 starts in the A next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kinda funny that an extended Schneider or Brodeur injury might cost Albany a shot at the playoffs, because Wedgewood's numbers so far are utter garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Shame Kinkaid didn't make AHL All-Star team but it's probably for the best. Midweek event and game when Albany plays 2 games the weekend before and 3 the weekend following. Keeps Kinkaid fresh by missing out. His stats so far are impressive: 2nd in GAA (2.07), 8th in SV% min. 20 GP (.920), and t-1st in SO (4). Joe Whitney missed out too. He's tied 6th in scoring (other 3 guys have better Pts/GP ratios) and tied 10th in assist (3 ahead of him by A/GP ratio). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 These Manchester shot counters are hilarious, Albany has dominated 5 on 5 play. Demkov, Tedenby and Zajac are an interesting small line, very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH26 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Larsson is a star on the ice, obviously too good for this league. do you think he looks more confident down there, or is his game from up here just too good for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I thought his game looked good up here but he just closes on players fast, always makes the right play, there is just too much time for him to make plays, which makes me believe he is too good for the league.
