As they didn't show numbers on the go with Rapid Fire, I will update once the AHL releases the official ones.

I was trying to count goals/saves myself.

Poirier is up to shoot after this Binghamton guy

[Drury18]

Poirier gets 3 in 7 shots, but runs out of time. Couldn't handle a couple of the passes.

[getbak]

TKO nails 4 in 7 shots. First person to do it in less than 8.

Who knew he was a sniper?

[Drury18]

We've got Bourque and Fortunus with 4 in 6.

I guess dead are the days of 4 in 4. This is why I loved Mogilny. But back to not making myself sound old...

[getbak]

Ray Bourque won the first NHL Accuracy Shooting event, and was also the first player to go 4-for-4 in the event. He won (or tied) the event 8 times overall.

I guess he taught his son well.

[Drury18]

Bachman could end up being a decent goalie for Edmonton if they don't screw it up...

Do they even consider him a prospect? He seems like more of a placeholder until Brossoit and Bunz are ready, and to be there if Scrivens or Fasth get hurt.


Which brings up a question I was wondering...How many of these players are legitimate NHL prospects, like Poirier and Dumba55, and how many are going to top out as AHLers, or vets like TKO?

[Drury18]

Team East beats Team West 15-11 in the All-Star Skills Competition

I don't think they consider him a "prospect" because of what you just said, which is part of the stupidity in Edmonton. Bachman played well last year and is playing well this year. He could be an answer to goaltending problems, but they want Brossoit and Bunz to be ahead of him.
