Re: RPI Pros IV

Tonight, Allen York won 3-2 in his first start for Springfield and Chase got his first start and shot on goal for Peoria.
A good night for the new RPI Pros!

EDIT: Helfrich had an assist and a shot on goal in his first start for the Florida Everblades in their 5-4 loss to South Carolina.

Allen York picked up his first professional win tonight, as Springfield roared back from a 2-0 deficit with three third-period goals to beat Bridgeport, 3-2.

Allen was not especially busy, as he faced only 16 shots on goal.

Congratulations to all three. Getting involved in their first professional experience. Good to see York get his first win. I really think he has a chance to make the Blue Jackets considering their current goalie situation.
When does Peoria play Rockford? :)
 
Re: RPI Pros IV

York wins his second game, stopping 29 of 31 in Springfield's 6-2 win over Connecticut. He was the game's second star.
Polacek was scratched in tonight's game between Peoria and San Antonio (San Antonio won 3-2 in OT).
Helfrich got a shot on goal and started in Florida's 2-1 shootout loss to South Carolina.

Milwaukee played Peoria today. Foss had a hooking penalty. Unfortunately, Polacek was not in the line up.
Brandon Pirri had a goal and an assist tonight.
 
Re: RPI Pros IV

On a more positive note, Pirri had three assists in Rockford's win yesterday. I believe that 3 points would be his most productive day as a pro.

Brandon Pirri
How season has gone: “Coming into it, I didn’t really know what to expect. You’re playing against men here. It’s a whole different experience than college, and it’s like three times the amount of games. It’s been a learning experience with ups and downs like with everyone else.

“You’ve always got more to give. I’m never content with it. I know I can always work harder, do more off the ice and on the ice. Just from that, I know what to expect and try to become an everyday pro and work hard this offseason.”

Mental outlook: “I know what to expect. I know how hard everyone works. I know how hard you have to work to be up in Chicago, and that’s something this summer I’m going to do and bring it to camp next year.”

How you’ve improved: “It certainly helps playing with Taffer (Jeff Taffe) and Klink (Rob Klinkhammer). At the same time, I’m starting to do the little things where a month ago they were bad habits. I’m just working hard and coming to the rink with a positive attitude.”

Coach Peters on Pirri: “He’s really grown up. He’s matured on and off the ice this year. I’ve really liked him the last (four) weeks. He’s competing at a high level.

“He’s back playing center coming off an injury. He’s a natural center, and we’re probably going to leave him there the rest of his career. He’s moving the puck quicker and is understanding how you have to play to play pro hockey. He’s learned his lessons from the first half of the year, and he’s been a good player the second half.”

Nice article about Chase and the program.
Does anyone know if Polacek was hurt in his first pro game? Just seems strange that he plays one game and is not on the roster for the next three contests. I can't believe that Peoria saw everything they needed to know about Chase after one game. :(
