The Condors had a quick pre-game skate at Rabobank Arena this morning and jump on a bus around noon to head to Las Vegas for tonight’s game (Nov. 5).
The busing on the day of the game is new this year, as part of cost-saving measures being taken by many teams.
Line combinations:
Weller-Sexton-Sharp
Calder-Ianiero-Goulet
MacMillian-Naglich-Kemp
Lizon
Forward Matt Myers, 25, has completed his immigration process in Vancouver, B.C. and is expected to join the team in Las...
He’s got nearly 600 National Hockey League games to his credit over nine seasons and, at 30 years of age, Kyle Calder isn’t ready to call it quits.
But, after playing the last seven seasons exclusively in the NHL (plus a lockout year in Europe) Calder’s path back to the highest level of hockey has landed him in Bakersfield and the ECHL.
Calder, who found himself without a job this season after playing the last two seasons for the Los Angeles Kings, was signed by Anaheim...
A day of golf was on the agenda for the Condors on Monday, but not until after a one-hour skate at Rabobank Arena in the morning.
Then it was off to Rio Bravo Country Club for the club’s 12th annual charity event. Proceeds benefit Kern Bridges Youth Homes.
On the ice, the Condors are a bit thin due to injuries to forwards Mathieu Aubin and Maxime Macenauer.
Condors coach Marty Raymond said on Monday that he expected Aubin to be out “at least a week” and that ...
Sure, a 6-3 loss to Utah on home ice Friday night stung, as it should, but not as bad as a pair of injuries to forwards Mathieu Aubin and Maxime Macenauer.
Aubin left during the second period and Macenauer went hard into the boards with just over six minutes remaining in the game and was helped from the ice while not putting any weight on his left leg.
Condors coach Marty Raymond confirmed both were “lower-body injuries” and was meeting with a team doctor long after the game...
With immigration paperwork finished, NHL veteran Kyle Calder would have been in the lineup for the Condors on Friday night against the Utah Grizzlies were it not for the birth of his third child.
Condors coach Marty Raymond said Calder’s wife gave birth to a boy early Friday morning and he will be stay in with her in Southern California. Raymond said Calder would be “doubtful” for Saturday night’s game in Ontario against the Reign.
The lines for tonight's game...
The Ducks have assigned veteran National Hockey League left wing Kyle Calder to the Condors after signing him to a one-year deal.
Calder, who has 292 points in 576 NHL games, played for the Kings the past two seasons. He was invited to Anaheim’s training camp on a tryout basis last month but was released on Sept. 26.
Selected by Chicago in the fifth round of the 1997 Entry Draft, Calder has played nine seasons in the NHL, recording two 20-goals seasons (2003-04 and 2005-06 with...
As rookie goaltender Timo Pielmeier was working his way toward stopping 29 shots in Bakersfield’s 2-1 win over Victoria on Wednesday night, fellow goaltender Justin Pogge was already en route to Victoria Island.
After summoning Pogge to Anaheim as the Condors headed to Victoria on Tuesday, the Ducks had him back on plane Wednesday evening as it turned out Anaheim goaltender J.P. Giguere, who had a groin strain, was good to go.
The close-but-no-cigar situation shows just how close...
So much for Justin Pogge starting tonight’s game in Victoria for the Condors.
He’ll be in Anaheim tonight to possibly serve in a back-up role as the Ducks host the Dallas Stars. Pogge didn't even make it to Victoria. He was summoned by the Ducks as the team landed in Seattle on Tuesday morning, and headed south from there.
Pogge may fill in for J.S. Giguere who left the ice in the middle of a practice session on Tuesday with what he said on Wednesday was a groin strain....
Anaheim goaltending consultant Pete Peeters was in Bakersfield on Monday, working with goaltenders Justin Pogge and Timo Pielmeier.
And, no, the visit was not prompted by Pielmeier's less-than-stellar pro debut on Saturday. It was set up on Thursday, before the season got under way.
Peeters worked with the goaltenders during an 85-minute team practice, then spent another 45 minutes after that on specific work for the goaltenders.
“We’re building blocks,” Peeters said...
That was a pretty big egg the Condors laid Saturday night at Rabobank Arena, falling 8-2 to the Ontario Reign after drubbing that team 5-0 a night earlier.
I guess one good butt-kicking led to another.
It certainly was an inauspicious pro debut for 20-year old goaltender Timo Pielmeier, who allowed seven goals on 19 shots through two periods of play.
Yes, there were several of those he'd like to have back. But then again, it would have been nice if the defense hadn't left guys open again...
