Re: Barons Postseason ATO Parade – Tyler Bunz

Still think Roy has the leg up on Bunz mainly because of the one year leg up. But two years from now, we likely see both of these kids in tandem on the farm. That's exciting.

Agree that Bunz won't see any ice unless something happens to both Danis and LeNeveu. Still, a great opportunity to expose the kid to a couple of veteran pros like those two guys and watch how they cope with playoff pressure. Given he'd be unlikely to play in either place, I think OKC is the better choice than Stockton. Who cares if it "looks" like Bunz just passed Roy on the depth chart, let's see who plays actual games in the coming weeks.

Worth noting that the "Medicine Hat Tylers" Bunz and Pitlick are real close buddies, this will be a nice little boost for Pitlick I would think.

Marincin looks really sharp. Pinches well, uses the long reach to his advantage, and skates VERY well. Quite impressive when compared to this time last year for Martin. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets some quality minutes in the postseason.

The Barons, in general, could benefit from any kind of tv exposure. The local cable company which also has the naming rights to the Cox Center has no intention of doing so which is a huge disappointment.

I can say this much. BOA. I hope the tall foreheads get that on TV up here so we have playoffs to watch.

Besides posting @ CoppernBlue.com once a week, this is the landing spot for the more deeper Barons content. Thanks for reading.

You and I are on the same wavelength. Three legit scoring lines with strong closing in the fourth. Hamilton, Pitlick, House - solid rookies will probably be sat in lew of more seasoned players. I too wonder about the D. Coach Nelson seems to have mastered the art of knowing what the team needs on the ice against specific opponents. The clear day roster doesn't allow as much wiggle room. This leads me to believe, as you said, things are still cloudy. Thanks for the comments! Greatly appreciate you reading.

My roster is as followed...
Forwards - Cornet-Green-Keller, Paajarvi-Lander-Omark, Hartikainen-Arcobello-Tremblay, Tyrvainen-Vande Velde-Grant

Rodney-Helmer
Chorney-Teubert
Yeo-Plante

Danis
LeNeveu

I'm hoping the one extra spot up front goes to Pitlick. The kid can be dynamic at times, and he can play the wing and C so he's obviously versatile. He also adds more of a scoring punch than House, but coach seems to really like House as he is an intelligent player, so wouldn't be surprised if he gave it to him.

The D pairings are cloudy for me. They could be like they are listed now, or who knows maybe they construct a Plante-Teubert shutdown D pairing to go against the top line of the opposition.

I can live with that. However, it will be tough to get stranger than "Amy Adams" :)

Let's start a contest for naming Baby Livingston. Prizes will be awarded in the form of laughter. Good taste is always in order but unusual will draw a crowd. Let's see what we can "suggest" that will get Addison to ponder some choices.

Re: Playing Linus Omark

According to the league, it wasn't even reviewed as such. Weird. Clearly a slew foot.

Bruce McCurdy — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:53:16 -0000

"what seemed like a slew foot incident" = a dirty slew foot. No "seemed like" about it.

Nice post.

I agree. They always play tough & close. Can't wait to hear how these next go pan out. Thanks for reading Marisa.

i love when they play Abbotsford, they're definitely one of my favorite teams to watch the Barons play. i love how #34 has most of his teeth knocked out.

Yes, that's a great one too. Real Big Fish did a nice power pop friendly version that a friend just sent to me. Drum machines for the win!
