ShakyWalton Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 The Alaska Aces have endured ample shortcomings in two straight nonplayoff ECHL hockey seasons, and grim goaltending topped the list. That was particularly true last season, when the Aces (27-38-7) plunged to the third-worst record on the 28-team circuit and had the goaltending to prove it. Alaska's 3.21 goals-against average ranked 25th and its .886 save percentage checked in at 27th. Granted, the crew in front of Alaska's goalies was not as strong as in seasons' past. Yet Alaska's goalies did not steal games and often cost the club points. "It was the goals, where we were outplaying a team, that hurt, and those goals when we really needed a save,'' coach Rob Murray recalled. "It's almost like you couldn't recover. It snowballs, festers to the point where you wonder, 'How are we going to win?' '' As the Aces prepare to open the season Friday night at Colorado, they are hopeful their new tandem of masked men, Kevin Carr and Michael Garteig, will restore the stingy goaltending the franchise received in its first 11 seasons. The Aces won three Kelly Cups in that span and their new goaltending coach, Gerald Coleman, backstopped them to two of those titles, in 2011 and 2014. "I feel really confident,'' Murray said. Both Carr, a third-year pro, and Garteig, a rookie, arrive with strong credentials. Carr, 26, landed with the Aces courtesy of an offseason trade with the Tulsa Oilers. Garteig, 24, joined the club through Alaska's affiliation with the NHL's Vancouver Canucks and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Utica Comets.

Spoosh Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I hope Garteig has a stellar season and gets a shot at playing in the AHL at some point this year. I believe it was where he was planned to play this year? Any thoughts on him playing in for the Aces. In no way is it a bad place to be, but I have a feeling he was expecting to be on the Comets roster this year. I think he played well in the games I saw him in. No room in Utica of course with Demko and Bachman as mentor, but I hope he gets at least a few games at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachman and Demko in Utica and Garteig getting playing time in Alaska. If any of the four goalies above are out with an injury he will be called up to Utica.

canucklehead44 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Sick logo. Pretty close to Canucks/Comets colours as well! ECHL teams seem under utilized IMO. We've often sent our prospects, like Joe Cannata, to non-affiliate teams. Also our top ECHL players like Blomstrand and Fox never seemed to get called up, and a bunch of random players were signed instead. I remember the day we signed Dane Fox. I ate bbq ribs at the southern joint on Granville, and when I got home read we signed Dane Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
