Category: San Jose Barracuda

Dell takes the 4-1 win, and nearly got a shut out. But the Barracuda answered back immediately after the Heat scored, to keep a three goal cushion. McCarthy, Goldobin, Morin and Goodrow had the goals.

Barracuda vs Condors 160306

Right back at it.

Rumpel the expected starter for the Barracuda. DeMelo was recalled, but did not play for the Sharks.

Rumpel makes his first AHL start, and makes 24 saves in his first AHL win. Emmanuelsson notched two goals; McCarthy and Morin had the others.

Neither team had a power play goal.

Next up: Stockton on Wednesday.

Barracuda vs Condors 160305

Bakersfield comes to town for a pair of weekend games.

DeMelo and Dell are back with the Barracuda after recent recalls; Pinkston has been assigned to ECHL Allen. Rumpel is still in San Jose and expected to get a start this weekend. Morin looking to prove his worth in his time with the Barracuda.

Radio pxp Lindquist is out for 9 games due to family emergency. This weekend former ECHL Bulls radio voice Jason Lockhart will have the call.

Dell got the start, but could not keep the Condors from feeding the net three times. Barracuda could only get two.

Barracuda vs Heat 160301

The boys return home for three games. First up: Stockton. (This weekend’s games are against Bakersfield.)

ATO White released; Rumpel recalled from ECHL. DeMelo assigned to AHL.

Morin arrived from AHL on Monday, but his equipment didn’t arrive until after morning skate on Tuesday. Regardless, he made his Barracuda debut on Tuesday. DeMelo was a healthy scratch. McLaren too, but did participate in the pregame skate.

Cuda were up 2-0 before the first media break. The Heat’s starter was pulled after giving up 6, but the Cuda were not done. Strong statement made with 7-1 win. Four Barracuda PPGs, one SHG. And the only goal they gave up was a man advantage.

Barracuda @ Gulls 160227

And down to San Diego to face more birds.

Gulls won 5-1 over the Rampage Friday night.

Smith has been traded to Toronto; Dell has been recalled to NHL (to back up Jones with Reimer needing to get work visa in order). So, expecting Grosenick to start. (Morin should be reporting to the Barracuda; ~~probably mid-week~~ planned arrival Monday).

Matthew White signed as (emergency) backup goalie.

Gulls took the lead and the Barracuda just seemed to be attempting to catch up.

Next up: home game on Tuesday.

Barracuda @ Condors 160226

Barracuda continue their road trip in Bakersfield.

Goodrow was recalled (for injured Wingels) on Sunday, but sent down before playing due to acquisition of Polak and Spaling via trade. Torres was involved in that trade, but remains with Barracuda (now property of NHL Toronto); but his future with the Barracuda (on the ice) is unclear. UPDATE: Torres shuts it down for season.

Goldobin is on a 17-game goaless drought, but he is on a 6-game point streak; meanwhile Trevor Parkes is an under appreciated player. Nabokov is having a great time staying with hockey in his post-playing career by mentoring and coaching the Barracuda goalies; they have benefited from having a dedicated coach to work with this season.

Barracuda radio voice Eric Lindquist out for the weekend after losing his father. Condolences to the Lindquist family

Barracuda got behind, but tied it up and won in regulation 4-3.

Barracuda @ Stockton 160221

Right back at it this afternoon. Raffi played Saturday; will he feel good enough to play Sunday, or will he be replaced in the lineup? Mueller is back from his NHL assignment, so could play Sunday.

Sounds like Dell might get the start as Grosenick didn’t have the greatest game on Saturday.

Goodrow recalled to NHL San Jose (on the road in St Louis).

Barracuda scored in the first, hung on in the second. When the Heat tied it up, McCarthy scored two and with a late ENG, the Barracuda win 4-1.

With their point last night and the two today, the Barracuda now own 3rd in division all alone, rather than tied with two other teams.

Barracuda @ Stockton 160220

Torres played neither game last weekend, and this past week has been pondering his future. Cundari, Gallant were out injured last week. Cundari returned to the ice (in red no-contact jersey) on Tuesday; scrimmaged Wednesday. Lerg and Haley took maintenance days this past week. On Friday, the practice was focused on special teams.

Mueller was called up as insurance when Dillon was injured; he was sent down for one game (last Sunday) and recalled before the Sharks headed out on their five-game cross-country road trip. Wingels was injured Thursday in NHL and will be out a couple of games, so the Barracuda are expecting a recall soon. Update: Mueller assigned to Barracuda on Saturday.

The Barracuda hit the road for the rest of the month. First up: a pair of games in Stockton on Saturday and Sunday.

Stockton has signed former Worcester Shark Mike Vernance and Gabriel Verpaelst to PTOs (to fill out roster). And they’re looking to continue their home winning streak.

Grosenick started. Team got behind, but tied it out with two extra-attacker goals late in the third. But Heat scored in OT to get the win.

Barracuda vs Condors 160214

Right back at it after the first Barracuda franchise shutout. Dell in net. Mueller returned to the Barracuda.

Condors came to play; they got rest on Saturday after winning at home on Friday.

After two goals Saturday, Smith notched another two on Sunday. But it wasn’t enough to overcome the Condors, losing 2-4. Big lack of energy from both teams.

Barracuda vs Rampage 160213

Now with Sommer’s record behind them, the Barracuda hope to get things going and add up the points.

Next up: the Rampage. Arrived in town on Thursday, practiced Friday, and will be ready to go on Saturday.

Cundari and Gallant are out (injuries). (Mueller was recalled to the Sharks with Dillon out.) Guessing Grosenick may get the start. (Barracuda host Bakersfield Sunday afternoon.)
