My Stars’ four-game winning streak came to an end yesterday in Houston but the back-up goalie has recently proven himself even to convince me that the team is in good hands. What happened Krahn the starter? No idea. Rumors abound about another injury.
Fortunately, Bachman has been incredible between the pipes. He was there for the 8-2 drubbing over Chicago and we saw him stop 26 shots from Milwaukee in the Stars’ shutout victory.
Last season, the coach brought him up for a few games. I wasn’t impressed but Bachman was up against Climie and Ford to be the goalie while Krahn healed up. After this year’s training camp results, I was more optimistic when I read about him being the best netminder in the entire ECHL, no small feat despite it being a palooka league.
Wednesday night will be the first of three games during Thanksgiving week, there better be a brief ceremony to congratulate him on achieving this recognition.
