Toki Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I don't follow Coho and JS closely enough, but is it official yet? Schroeder > Hodgson? Honestly, I'm more excited about Schroder. Most of our offence-first players are slower high hockey-IQ types (Twins, Demitra). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 abbotsford has an airport, Surrey doesn't. its already far for AHL teams to come out this way. would it also not be more expensive to land at YVR Ahhh that makes sense. However they can still land in the Abbotsford airport and then bus over to Surrey. Wouldn't the bigger fan base in Surrey make the bus trip worthwhile? I mean the Heat can even reimburse the away team for the bus trip. Let's say in Surrey the Heats can get, on average, 2,000 more fans a game. That is around 2,000X$25=$50,000 extra revenue a game. More than enough to cover busing costs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Surrey wants a team i'm sure AHL would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 0 points for Schroeder the shredder tonight. Moose win 3-1 against Toronto's farm team. Wooohooo. Schneider making 33 saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatFan Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Battle for GVR? That would be insane, but I doubt it would occur. The way they are talking about expanding out here it could. That is why I'm pushing Canuck fans, even thought Heat is an affiliate of Flames to come enjoy the hockey. The faster we fill the house, the faster they will expand.

ballsdeepfreeze Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Schroeder with a PPG in a half dozen contests thus far with the Moose is quite encouraging. Checking the standings up to date following last night's games, Manitoba is two points out of a playoff spot, and wouldn't that suck balls if they missed...I was really looking forward to having Schroeder and Hodgson get some quality time in the AHL playoffs. I wonder if they will get called up and practise with the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're doing it wrong. top 4 in each division make the playoffs, the moose are in 4th in their division, and 6 points up on lake eerie and with a game in hand. They are well within a playoff berth, and slowly pulling away. in fact they can clinch tonight with a win. http://theahl.com/saturday-s-clinching-scenarios-p141351 Saturday's clinching scenarios April 3, 2010 Following are the potential scenarios for teams to clinch playoff berths and division titles for Saturday, April 3...

DGFX. Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 From the day he was drafted to the day he was signed to a try-out contract with the Manitoba Moose, Canucks fans have been excited about the prospect of Jordan Schroeder one day making an impact in the NHL. Despite his 5'8” frame, Schroeder is very strong on the puck and isn't afraid to go in those dirty areas. With a disappointing finish to his college years in the NCAA, Schroeder has jumped into the pro leagues and is out there to make a name for himself. A year before the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, some hockey analysts believed Schroeder could be a top-5 selection. The NHL's Central Scouting Bureau had Schroeder listed as the 5th best North American skater. After 20 different teams passed on Schroeder, Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis decided to give him a chance and selected him with the 22nd pick. The Canucks were more than pleased and certainly surprised that Schroeder's stock fell so far on draft day. After the draft, Schroeder's plummet was compared to that of Russian forward Alexei Cherapanov, who fell to #17 in the 2007 draft after being touted as a potential first overal pick. Cherapanov's drop was due to his passport and the question of whether he would ever come over to the NHL. Schroeder's meanwhile, was due to his size. Schroeder went on to play for team USA in 2010's World Junior Championships, where he accumulated 8 points in 7 games, which overall contributed to the team's success. He provided a lot of speed and skill to the American's roster, and not to mention his great shot. He has made 3 appearances for Team USA at the WJC's, totaling 27 points in 19 games. His 27 points marks the most ever for an American and his 20 assists is a WJC record. However, this would be Jordan's last year playing for USA in the WJHC as he is turning 20 this September. Schroeder jumped into the AHL scene shortly after March 17th when he received his contract from the Canucks organization. He didn't wait to start producing numbers. On his first shift and first shot, he netted his first professional goal and later netted another goal in the same game. In 5 games Schroeder notched 6 points, including 3 goals and 3 assists. If he is able to produce numbers like this in the playoffs I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing for the Canucks next season. Size isn't as big of factor in the NHL as it used to be. Players like Patrick Kane, Brian Gionta, Scott Gomez, and Derek Roy are excelling greatly in the NHL, despite their size. Schroeder looks like a younger version of most of those players: small, skillful, and posessing a strong frame. The Vancouver Canucks currently have two highly touted center prospects within their organization: Cody Hodgson and Schroeder. With Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler locked up long-term for the Canucks, it appears as if the top two center spots won't be available for several years. Long term, this would mean one of Hodgson or Schroeder might be required to move to the wing position. As both players are pegged as playmakers with excellent wrist shots it should be interesting to see who the Canucks deem better fit for the center position. The Canucks' training camp will be an interesting one next season. Four rookies will be fighting for one or two roster spots next season, including Michael Grabner, Sergei Shirokov, and of course Jordan Schroeder and Cody Hodgson. Grabner seems to be a lock as he has been performing well with the Canucks in his time up with the team and has proven himself at the AHL level. Sergei Shirkov, who finished with a surprising training camp and a phenomenal pre-season in 2009, will be looking to repeat it again next year. It's most likely the Canucks will want Shirokov to gain another season of experience in the AHL to build on his team leading goal total in 2008-09. Regardless of Schroeder's timeline to the NHL, the Canucks are hoping that he can develop into the steal of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. There are some who believe it can happen. http://schoolyourpool.com/fantasy-hockey-articles/584-prospect-watch-jordan-schroeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
