How has Kyle Beach been doing? I am getting sick of seeing Brian Bickell and Fernando Pisani doing nothing.

If the scoring problem for the Hawks continues either Beach or Morin need to get the call up.

Dont hold your breath (even though i agree with Morin coming up)

Morin was just innjured, and Beach's cap hit is too big

Just to answer your question Beach has been pretty solid. Hes been there to score goals, chips in assists and his physical presence has been there. The key though is he hasn't shown any of his side antics and immaturity.

Klinkhammer deserves the next call up

Toivonen putting up amazing stats...

1-2 with a GAA over 4. Save % of 83.

Our goaltending depth is horse shit.

And Joe continues with his campaign of hate against guys that arn't stars or even really hold much weight in the organization

How much do you have to hate Kyle Hagle or Ryan Stanton?!

Those are actually pretty similar to Antti Niemi's stats this season.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Meant depth. Typed it too fast.

Our goaltending depth is horse shit.

Garnet Exelby: 8th season
Nick Leddy: 1st season
Brian Connelly: 2nd season
Shawn LaLonde: 1st season
Ivan Vishnevskiy: 3rd season
Simon Danis-Pepin: 2nd season
Ryan Stanton: 1st season

The Icehogs D is a bit young as you can see. Let these guys get some time playing with each other and gel since really the only returnee from a full season of last years D is Connelly. we only have 2 shutdown type D-men is Exelby and Stanton, the rest of the guys are pretty much offensive puck-moving D-men. Give them time, the more they play together the better Toivonen's stats will improve.
