2015-16 AHL affiliate - San Diego Gulls: Part III

[cheesymc]

There's a great deal being offered for visiting fans who want to go to Ontario for Game Five on Saturdy night -- I just picked up two seats three rows from the glass, on the end the Gulls attack twice, for a total of $44 and all fees waived. Check out the San Diego Gulls Fans group on Facebook for the link and the code -- there was a nice-sized group of Gulls fans there on Sunday, it would be even better to have more next Saturday, especially if the Reign fans start to actually come out to the playoff games


Damnit! didn't see this post... just got center ice tickets for $58 each after fees... I joined the group be do not see this deal though...

 

[HansH]

Hackett again tonight, and no Sgarbossa at warm ups. Apparently close to the same lineup as Game 3.

 

[HansH]

No score after one. Another apparent Gulls PP goal was waved off after video review with no explanation - I still don't know why it's not 1-0.

 

[HansH]

Reign radio guy said the apparent goal went through the side, not the front of the net.

I don't know why that shouldn't count. Has to be harder than going in a big 4x6.

From where Theodore shot the puck, it would be impossible for that to have happened unless the puck was deflected.

And yet, that was the replay call overturning the call on the ice. Koharski's gonna Koharski. Reign players now attempting to injure Gull players, apparently.

 

[Norduck]

Theodore PPG in the 2nd period does count. Gulls up 1-0 after the 2nd period.

Reign trying to injure Hackett and any other Gull they can hack at.

My apologies, I was under the impression you were referring to Theodore's PP goal. My mistake!

[Ducks Nation*]

Damn.... Gulls are done too...

 

[HansH]

The nail in the coffin, on this game, was Bickel's knee injury. With the Gulls down to only five D-men, they managed a total of ZERO shots on goal in the 6 minutes and 29 seconds of the OT period.

Eakins put Montour and Theodore out on the same pairing to start the OT, and I think that was part of the undoing as well, because after that, there's Megna (who had a stellar game DESPITE being -3 on the scoresheet), and there's the college kids (Welinski and Cooper -- and Cooper is a halfling in size compared to the beasts of Ontario). I get the risk/reward of hoping to get an early OT goal with the two offensive-minded D-men, but it just seemed too much risk with not enough reward, from where I sat. Then again, hindsight is always 20-20.

This hurts a lot. We'll be up there tonight, in all likelihood to see a one-goal game end this series -- maybe two goals as the final margin if there's another empty-netter.

A note -- the sparse attendance at Sunday's game was still promoted in an email I got as "record-setting Game 3 attendance" -- maybe they meant for a playoff game, cause I've personally been to both AHL and ECHL games in the CBBA that far outdrew that Sunday game. Wheird.

 

[HansH]

Sgarbossa is in the lineup (or at least warmed up), no such luck with Doby or Bickel. Piskula in for the injured Bickel, and of course Hackett in net.

 

[Ducks DVM]

They look nervous. A lot of puck fumbling going on. Ended the period on a very nice cycle though, hopefully they can build from that.

 

[HansH]

No score after one. Amusing that the response to the "Let's Go Gulls" chant is to boo loudly. Maybe the Ontario fans might try rooting _for_ their guys, instead...

 

[Papaspud]

Regardless of the outcome, these guys battled on though depleted through injuries. Heart can only take the skin and bone so far. More effort than the big club.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Brutal turnover to go down 0-1
Nice play to tie it 1-1
Gave up a breakaway immediately to go down 1-2

 

[HansH]

2-1 Reign after two, which shouldn't be a surprise given the 20-10 bulge in SOG they hold (it was 8-3 after one). First goal, Hackett got caught behind the net and the puck was turned over. Wagner equalized with a great shot that I think went down off the crossbar and in (it was at the other end and hard to see). Seconds later, however, Auger (HODOR!) beat Hackett cleanly taking the shot instead of the pass on a 2-on-1 - a birthday goal for the giant.

It's looking more and more like we're 20 minutes away from handshakes, alas.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I will say that AHL officiating makes me realize just how bad it could be in the NHL.

 

[Papaspud]

Though there a couple of NHL refs that would fit right in Reffing an ahl game...kozari, Lee, peel...even d. Jackson.

 

[ChaseANA]

I found it crazy how all of the scratches had to sit in the regular seats... Talked with Kevin Roy for a bit. Saw a few other guys too (Larsson I think?)

 

[Opak]

PGP 5/14/16 - The season is over, Gulls lose 2-1!

[Carelton CA]

I watched game 4 and my impression is that the Gulls were over matched physically by a large margin and they also had very little veteran experience in the line up. My sense is that the Gulls over achieved this year given the roster they had. If they truly want to compete for the Calder Cup, they'll need more size and grit, especially on D. All in all I think the players and the coaches as well as the organization and fans all surpassed expectations in San Diego this year.

They had several veteran guys on their list of scratches. Not sure how many of them were healthy vs injured, since AHL is pretty tight-lipped about any line-up questions, but BM certainly made sure they had a good grip of journeymen down there. That wasn't a roster hole, really.
