GAMEDAY! 🔥

Tonight, our San Jose Barracuda face off against the Coachella Valley Firebirds for the first time this season!

Historically, the Firebirds have been tough competition, with the Barracuda winning only 1 of 8 matchups last season and allowing 35 goals. But this season is different—our Barracuda are off to a hot start, winning 5 of their first 6 games, scoring 30 goals, and holding opponents to just 12. Let’s keep that momentum going!

Come ready for some Halloween spirit! We’re excited to see fans in costume for our last home game before Halloween. 🎃

Is there a sign up for auctions throughout the season?

Simple post. Those new barracuda jerseys are tight as hell.

Wanted to share this story about a recent encounter.

I actually got to sit next to John on the plane up to the Bay, but I couldn't think of anything to say to him so I just opened my laptop and loaded a bunch of pages about the Barracuda and his Wikipedia page.

Unfortunately he didn't notice.

As we are landing, I turned to him and finally asked him the only question that could come to mind, which was "What's your favorite themed night that the Barracuda do?"

He thought about it for a second and said "How could anyone say anything other than teddy bear toss?"

I said "Pucks and paws is always my favorite."

He said "Oh yeah. Teddy bear toss is my favorite. Also, that country night we did last year."

So in case anyone was wondering, John McCarthy likes those two nights in particular.

I also happened to see Mike Ricci when I was waiting for my bag, which was mildly amusing.

Me: "Hey Coach, give 'em hell this year and beat LA"

Mike: "What?"

Me: "Give 'em hell this year, coach"

Mike: "Why are you calling me coach?"

Me: "You're Mike Ricci, right?"

Mike: "I am"

Me: "The development coach for the Sharks?"

Mike: "Oh yeah huh. I am a coach."

Me: "Well, just wanted to say good luck this year, Mr. Ricci"

Mike: "Oh. I get it. Thank you"

That at least tracks for being on par for encounters with Mike Ricci from what I've heard from others.

I thought Robins had a good game. Great hustle back on critical play. Got on scoresheet.

On the other side, Halttunen wasn't good IMO. Besides numerous bad passes and decisions, he even had 2 cherry chances on PP and didn't even showcase his NHL ready shot.

Psyched for the Barracuda this year!

Hey folks! For the last two years I have been running a format of Dynasty Hockey called Prospects2Pros that I want to share with you all. In this league you get to manage both an NHL Team and an AHL Team.

- Fantrax Premium League
- 32 NHL Teams - 23 Man Rosters - 30 minors spots
- Weekly H2H - Points League
- $50 Buy-in
- NHL Players and Prospects Drafted Separately
- Salary Cap League
- Draft Date (July TBD)
- Slow Draft (2-4 Hour Clock)

25 SPOTS AVAILABLE

The Twist
In this league, you manage both an NHL team, and an AHL team. Your AHL team is made up of the players in your minors, each week you set a Prospects League lineup that consists of 3 forwards, 2 defense, 1 skater flex and 1 goalie. NHL affiliated prospects from leagues all over the world are eligible to collect points including... AHL, WHL, OHL, QMJHL, NCAA, USHL, KHL, VHL, MHL, LIIGA, Mestis, SHL, Allsveskan, Sweden u-20, Slovak league, Czech League, NL, DEL and more.

The Prospects League gives rebuilding teams a chance to focus on their prospects while their NHL team is out of contention. It also gives rebuilding teams a chance to win some money!

Comment or DM with questions!

Is there anyway/anywhere I could find the full game to rewatch from tonight? April 12th 2024. It was my son’s first hockey game and he was on the screen! Thanks!

Can't make it to tonight's game if there's anyone who's willing to part with their bobblehead please let me know.

I have tickets but don't know when to arrive. There's only 1500 but I know it only seats a few thousand and it's not like people are dying to see the Cuda. Early is probably better but I don't know when. I haven't been to a game yet where they hand out giveaways.

Went to the All Star Challenge at Tech CU Arena and it was such a fun time! It was so great to see the arena mostly full and all the mascots and variety of jerseys. Officially, it was sold out but seemed like only 1/2 full, but still way better than any Cuda game I've been too. Seeing our boy Shakir score a goal and the Pacific win it all was awesome. I didn't know exactly what to expect but it was far better than my expectations. Thanks to all the Cuda and Tech CU Arena staff!

Has anyone been told that their never waste a tickets program has blackout dates for this season? I cannot find anything mentioning that.

Anyone know why he's not playing? He showed a lot of promise last year... Even got a game w the Sharks. Yet this year he's missing. Not showing as injured either.

How the hell are they adding 50% more to the cost? $6.50 in fees on a $13 ticket? One day we can all hope that Congress does something about these crooks!

Does anyone know where I can find this season's schedule that has a webcal or iCal link. I am trying to get the games added to the calendar on my phone. TIA
