end the curse Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Portland wins 2-0. Enroth with the shutout. Schutz and Mancari with the goals. http://theahl.com/st...game_id=1006485 Enroth is playing lights out. I feel much better about him now than I did the beginning of the year when he couldn't stop a beach ball. The benching he took a month ago really got him focused.

Calvin Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Enroth is playing lights out. I feel much better about him now than I did the beginning of the year when he couldn't stop a beach ball. The benching he took a month ago really got him focused. Between that benching and the one game stint up with the Sabres, Enroth really seems to have upped his game. The ability to learn and improve his abilities is a really good sign. With JP Lamoureux doing good and Connor Knapp backstopping the nation's #1 team in Miami (OH), seems like the long term future is pretty safe.

shrader Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Between that benching and the one game stint up with the Sabres, Enroth really seems to have upped his game. The ability to learn and improve his abilities is a really good sign. With JP Lamoureux doing good and Connor Knapp backstopping the nation's #1 team in Miami (OH), seems like the long term future is pretty safe. Knapp is splitting time with Cody Reichard. He's getting a little over a third of the starts, but Reichard is carrying the load. They're both sophomores and Reichard started the national championship game last year, so I think that shows where each goalie stands with the team. If you want to talk college goalies, you have to start with Eidsness in North Dakota. He's an absolute work horse, but I can't shake the concerns that he got lit up each time I've seen him play a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enroth got the night off. http://theahl.com/st...game_id=1006499 I have very high hopes for Ennis, and wouldn't be surprised if he starts the the season on our roster next year. BTW, Mancari also continued his torrid pace with 4 assists and a +3. Deep down inside, I can't shake this hope that he'll be able to elevate his game to the NHL level. His size, shot and scoring ability in the AHL fit the 2nd line power forward position we desperately need filled to a tee. Honestly, could he be any worse than Stafford at this point?

carpandean Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yes! He may just be one of those players who reach their peak at the AHL level. Yeah, I said it after the last callup: he chose the perfect number, 12. Big guy who doesn't use his body and booming shot, but not much else offensively. He's probably good in shootouts, too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one, Stafford or Mancari? ;) Seeing the way Drew wanders around the ice aimlessly makes me want to upchuck. Seriously, I fully realize that Mancari may never make the full jump to the NHL level, but I can still hold out hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that knocked him down a few more pegs in the eyes of the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ct3 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice article about Ennis on NHL.com. He is an exciting player to watch, extremely fast and finds open space quickly. I live in the Portland area and go to quite a few Pirates games and he is right up there with Gerbe. TJ Brennan is another up and comer to watch. The Sabres have some good young talent to watch....I think my 9 yr old is becoming a Sabres fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
