titans04 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Excited to see how this plays out. The bar is set pretty low so it won't take much to hit it for me. Although seeing the roster on paper is still cringe worthy way more that I think most of us would all like it to be. Just keep getting better.

Nicomo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Suprised Blandisi didn't make the cut after hearing some of you talk him up all preseason. Also, Brian Gibbons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Suprised Blandisi didn't make the cut after hearing some of you talk him up all preseason. Also, Brian Gibbons? He had a strong first game and sort of faded. Maybe they're settled on him being an AHLer. Gibbons must be a guy they like on the 4th and might be the 13th forward until injured guys come back Sent from my C6725 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Well they put Gibbons on waivers yesterday & he cleared so maybe they're just keeping him around for a bit while giving the kids some playing time in the Bing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Bratt made it impossible for Shero not to pick him. Really good to see an absolutely standout performance from a young player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean besides our defense, is it really that cringe worthy? Even if butcher and mueller turn out to be decent i dont see our roster as half that bad...but i am always optimistic...

Cringeworthy is hyperbolic but the roster isn't anything overly impressive; it's full of unproven, young players. Our forward group is pretty decent looking but, obviously, doesn't compete with some of the better forward groups in the league. And then of course, our defense is a complete question mark, which by the way, doesn't necessarily mean they'll suck. What our team does have is speed, which makes me lean towards a positive attitude about the upcoming year. It'll be fun to watch these guys compete...which they will do.

EdgeControl Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Gibbons is 30 yo , it's a nice jesture by the organization to let him hold the fort for a short while.Coleman is a bit of a surprise.. but i expect lots of call ups and send backs this year. Rt 17 will be busy..good thing it's not a toll road..they took a long look at quenn and blender, both will play in NJ soon imo. They both got shots off at a decent rate.. hopefully stafford keeps this intensity up all year. Hayes needs to play tough also or be gone. Did loov just get cut and released?

We'll yeah being the defense is a pretty sizeable part of the roster and there's more than a couple marginally talented forwards I'll stick with yes. Hopefully better than last year but still a long way to go imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Very disappointed Q didn't make the cut. I thought he had an excellent preseason. No idea why and how Gibbons made the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why and how Gibbons made the team. Better for Q and Blandisi get playing time, and they'll get plenty of it in Binghamton; Gibbons will be a 13th forward "scratch" type. LittleBallofHate pretty much nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) My guess is that they are giving Bratt 9 games then sending him to London for a season, at which point Blender will be called up. He looked too good in preseason not to stay up in Newark. Edit: Just saw some others mentioned this in the other thread yesterday Edited October 4, 2017 by Crisis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not its Blandisi coming back up, I couldn't say. I feel bad for the guy, though, I really feel like he played well enough to be up with the big team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Blandisi played his heart out, and produced. I hate the message it sends that hes not on the team. As long as he comes back up once/if Bratt goes down ill be okay with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Blandisi & Queneville should be on this team, I'm disappointed they are not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hall-Zacha-Palmieri Johansson-Hischier-Stafford Bratt-Henrique-Hayes Wood-Coleman-Noesen Greene-Severson Moore-Lovejoy Mueller-Santini --- I think Blandisi or Q replace Bratt if/when they send him back. I'm thinking it'll take something like 5 pts in 9 games for Bratt for him to stick for the season. The defense will be interesting and it pretty much assures they're going to rotate out one of Mueller, Butcher and Santini every game with Prout being the other HS. Hopefully Lovejoy can play his way into that rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
