I wanted to see Ambuhl too, but at least he will be in Hartford, so we can keep tabs on him

Apparently Ambuhl needs some time to adjust to the North American game – frequently enough that happens with Euro. players.
Have to get Jess’ (Prospect Park) take on those sent down to Juniors. I think the surprise there might have been Kundratek – but not sure.
Heck it happened with Grachev. Ambuhl will start impressing more in less time than you know it.

There were a few shifts early in that rookie game where Ambuhl looked like Avery but he faded until popping up for the shootout … definitely has skills. If he can get the physicality and consistency down, he will be nice to have.

I’d be surprised if Vally didn’t get backup … but I wouldn’t mind Chad Johnson as a backup for Henrik.
one game
isnt enough.. he looked good for a game.. i wouldnt line him up ass backup yet…
and im just hoping dubi signs..
Remember when Brandon Dubinsky played for this team?

what the hell are we gonna do
without the stache! someone is gonna have to step up and grow it out.
Sanguinetti
How is Sanguinetti doing in camp? I am stuck in Minnesota and can’t really keep up. I don’t know what i would do without you guys. Do you think the last D will come down to MDZ or Sangs?
chandler knight
Sangs hasn’t played in either of the two pre-season games. He had some issues during the early part of the camp – whether it was conditioning or not – no one’s talking. Torts said that he’ll get a game in pre-season.
Personally, I think DZ should play the year in the OHL (just like Staal did) – so based on that I don’t think the last D spot(s) will be for him. Don’t know about Sangs or the others. 2 weeks to go – and we’ll know for sure.
Who do you think gets last D spot?
Thanks for the info i didn’t even know Sangs hadn’t played in the pre season so far. So you think Semenov has a shot at sticking? BTW what happened to McClaren?
chandler knight
kind of early to talk about Johnson after one appearance-I don’t think even the staff has had a good evaluation period to form an hard opinion. Vally is always ready willing and able to do what is necessary and brings a history and results.
Not to mention
With Henrik going to the Olympics the backup is likely going to see action in ~25 games this year, it would be bold to have a rookie backup with that kind of workload.
Not that rookie goalies haven’t had success lately in the NHL, but that type of work load behind an established #1 is more suited to Valiquette than Johnson or Zaba.
