2016-17 Stockton Heat (and ADK Thunder) Thread [PLAYOFF BOUND!]

[FLAMESFAN]

Anyone else surprised Rittich has been getting the starts?
I thought he would get some playing time, but was surprised he got the start again lastnight. Game 5 has to be his as well - right?

I think I'm a little disappointed with Gillies season tbh. Hopefully we can win game 5, and Gillies gets another start. Would suck for him ending the season like that.

Anyword on Klimchuk, Lomberg & Aulie? They each missed the past couple games and should be in the lineup if healthy.

Klimchuk and Lomberg are hurt, no word on when they might return. I haven't heard anything about Aulie but I assume he's hurt too

Not remotely. He's been the better goalie all year. I was more surprised when Gillies was called up ahead of Rittich.

 

[Lunatik]

Dube has been added to the roster. With Klimchuk and Lomberg out, can't help but wonder if he will draw in

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Dube is in the lineup

 

[Lunatik]

Heat are a man down for the second time already

 

[Lunatik]

Sounds like Rittich is holding the fort on these PKs

 

[Lunatik]

Stockton with another penalty.

 

[Lunatik]

Shots last I heard were 14-6 for San Jose

 

[Lunatik]

Mirco Mueller just kicked Frattin while he was down according to Kisker after Frattin collided with Groesnick.

Mueller gets 2 for unsportsmanlike conduct

 

[Lunatik]

End of the 1st. Tied 0-0. Heat's PP will continue in the second. Shots are 15-9 for San Jose

 

[Lunatik]

Gillies comes out for the second period. Rittich might've injured

 

[Lunatik]

Sounds like Gillies just robbed a Barracuda player

 

[Lunatik]

Gillies just stopped a 2 on 0. Kisker said it might be the save of the year

 

[Lunatik]

Jamie Devane!!!! 1-0 Heat!

 

[Volica]

Rittich started the game, Gillies has come in.

Heat just took a 1-0 lead.

Hope we can eventually see it. Go Heat!

 

[Lunatik]

Double minor for high sticking to Doetzel

 

[Lunatik]

First half of the double minor killed

 

[Lunatik]

Hope we can eventually see it. Go Heat!

San Jose usually does decent highlight packages

 

[Lunatik]

Penalties killed

 

[Lunatik]

Frattin just drilled Chartier

 

[Lunatik]

End of 2. Heat lead 1-0. Shots are 38-13 for San Jose. The Heat need to reduce shots against, 38 shots after 40 and 23 on a cold Gillies is simply unacceptable

It most certainly was not. Maybe due to the timing (playoffs, 0-0 in elimination game) a case could be made, but I've watched about 10 games this year and have seen better.

It was a nice save, I'm not trying to sell it short, but Kisker likes the hyperboles.

Which is why I made a point to say "Kisker said"
