Jets prospect Garrett Brown is a big, right-shot defenceman, and here he provides a scouting report on himself.

Another incredibly mature answer by him saying taking the time to hone in the details so when you finally get to this level of hockey it can be to your advantage.

In a world of wanting instant success that’s unusual but should serve him well becoming a long-term pro.

“I think I’m just a long-term thing. I grew up playing junior Sharks, we’ve never been in a rush, go play in the USHL for a couple years, three years at Denver. It’s all about the process”.

Gotta say I was impressed by this answer.

“I don’t think you do. You can always say one decision is better than the other, but I think you need to make a decision and then you need to make that the right decision”

Never mind. He’s on the ice and I think he’s wearing 59.

Not certain as he’s on the far side from me but I recognized a new skater and it’s him.

With Norfolk out of the ECHL playoffs the Moose have added Winnipegger Isaac Poulter to their goalie mix.

Manitoba Moose first round playoff series with Milwaukee Admirals set Three games (if necessary) will be played in Winnipeg.

This will be the third time the Moose and Admirals have faced each other in the playoffs in the last five seasons.

Crazy part about AHL turnover is just one player (David Gustafsson) from the 2021-22 Manitoba team remains with the current roster.

Manitoba Moose close regular season with 6-1 rout over the Wild in Iowa Recap of the game.

The Stars defeat the IceHogs 5-1 which secures them 3rd in the Central.

That means the Moose, who won 6-1 tonight, will stay in 4th in the division and will play host to the Admirals in the first round of the playoffs.

illegalcurve.com/manitoba-moo...

Moose temporarily move into 3rd in the Central BUT they need the Stars to lose (currently winning 2-1 after 40).

If Stars hold on to win they would be 3rd and face the 2nd place Wolves in the second round.

Manitoba would host Milwaukee in the first round.

Moose end the regular season with a big 6-1 win over Wild.

Parker Ford 1G 2A
Colby Barlow 2G (first multi goal game)
Lucas Wahlin (first pro goal)
Phil Di Giuseppe (400 AHL game, 1G 1A)

Manitoba outshot Iowa 28-6 in final 40 minutes.

Recap to follow on illegalcurve.com

First pro goal for Lucas Wahlin as he makes it a 6-1 game for the Moose.

Both his first pro assist and pro goal came from behind the net.

Also Parker Ford got an assist but had one of the Barlow ones taken away so he remains at three points.
