2018-19 Utica Comets, Pt. IV: Six more years as your Vancouver Canucks affiliate

[Blue and Green]

Not dressed for the Comets: Dahlen and Gadjovich. They're going with 7 defencemen.

Lind, Gaunce, and Gaudette were the starting forward line.

Dahlen is playing. He's actually been a little more noticeable than usual at even strength.

#54 Dahlen is dressed
#64 Graham is not, so 6 dmen

I didn't know the Valley Phantoms were in Allentown. Billy Joel wrote a song about the place once...

Well, that's a relief. The AHL boxscore still lists Graham in the line-up and now Dahlen.

Thanks for the corrections (it was probably somebody's typo, entering 64 instead of 54).

It's scoreless after the first (if the boxscore has that right).

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

That's a pretty good Valentine's Day deal from Sherry's Berries....

Lehigh Valley just scored in the first minute of the second period.

 

[Blue and Green]

Whammo, 2-0.

2-0 Valley

Chatfield is a mess.......first one off his skate, 2nd one walked around like a pregnant woman...... And it was the same shift.....

 

[Blue and Green]

Bancks scores, 2-1.

Comets get one back from Carter Bancks

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Chatfield caught up ice on a dangerous Valley 2 on 1.

The camera pans the crowd on every stoppage where fat guys get up and dance....

The camera pans the crowd on every stoppage where fat guys get up and dance....

So many faceoffs go unseen because they cut away at the last second to show someone in the crowd.

 

[go comets]

The fat guys dancing eliminates watching the linesman take 5 minutes to drop a puck....

Yeah, crowd shots are a pretty big thing.

Meanwhile, Mike McKenna and the Phantoms continue to cling to a 2-1 lead after two periods...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Man, I could really go for some Belvedere's Italian Ice Cream right now...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Someone should mention to Jerrod Wicks that Brett Connolly isn't a Central New York guy. That's Tim Connolly I believe. Brett is from Prince George BC.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

And Sautner ties it up!

 

[Blue and Green]

Sautner with a floater from the blueline finds twine, 2-2.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

McKenna doesn't look so good you'd go out of your way to protect him...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Boucher with the snipe three two Comets! That's twenty for Boucher

 

[Blue and Green]

Boucher with the go-ahead goal, 3-2 Comets.

Pyatt on a nice setup from Woods 4-2
