Any thoughts on juolevi so fat?

 

[Bad Goalie]

Even if I did, BG, he'd still find a way NOT to get the memo.

LMAO, but sadly it's so true.

 

[Lindgren]

Any thoughts on juolevi so fat?

We banned fat shaming after too many jokes about Bo Horvat.

 

[Bad Goalie]

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Obviously it's serious if he's in the hospital but I hope it's not TOO serious if you catch my meaning. How's he doing?

Great now.

Was face down in a parking lot Thursday morning going for donuts. Heartrate 200+ and skin a grey as his hair.

EMS used the paddles, heart stopped, chest compressions, paddled 3 or 4 more times. All numbers came back to normal.

All kinds of tests Thursday and Friday. No blockages. No heart damage. ???????
More tests to come, but the belief now is it wasn't a heart attack! May very well have been a reaction to a new drug he was prescribed and used for the first time that morning. I'd be searching for a Dr who knows enough to make damned sure what meds he takes and then determine what new ones do in combination with the others. It's a medical rule of thumb to do such.

Want the killer? No one knows who called 911. The fire truck and the ambulance were there in seconds, not minutes. He says he saw a an old lady, but there was no such person on the scene when EMS arrived.

Oh yeah, after the 1st paddle, which stopped his heart, he saw a lasting bright white light. Research that one. It's extremely common that people who have their hearts stop and come back to report this phenomenon. There's a lot more as you extend the time before recovery. He didn't get that far.

Maybe that's a lot more than you wanted to know. There's just so much stuff that went down here all spinning around in my head like a whirlwind. Got some of it off my chest. Thanks, LOL

3rd period is under way

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets d is weak. They just allow players to drive to the circles and let fly. Not one of them ever seems to be able meet the opponent and actually challenge him. They are already too deep when the puck crosses the blue line.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Goldobin in clean on a pass from Jasek, but it was offsides.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Lind faces off with a much bigger guy after the whistle, gets rag dolled, and punched in the head by Angello. Lind turtled up and drew a penalty.

 

[Bad Goalie]

PP ends.

Angello leaves the box gets the puck at the door and breaks in alone and scores.

3-2 Pens.

 

[Bad Goalie]

9:58 to go / TVTO

 

[Hoghandler]

Goldobin hit hard by Angello, Arseneau jumps Angello, Angello turtles and draws a penalty.

Time for Arseneau to score coming out of the box. Would be fitting.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets have had no sustained offensive effort in this game. They scored 2 quick ones. 1 on the PP and 1 off a draw.

Goldy got crushed, but came off fine due to his helmet coming off.

Arseneau gets 2 for trying to get the guy to go at it. Angello turns the play it cool and draws the penalty like Lind did.

Pens in front and Mac struggles again to cover the puck causing a lot of mucking in his crease.

Comets PK is way too passive. The Pens have disrupted the Comets PPS by being hard on the puck. Comets let the Pens move the puck almost at will. Agozzino has been getting the Boucher right circle shot off at will.

 

[Bad Goalie]

6:00 to go. Comets need to mount some kind of concerted attack or this will end up poorly. Being out shot 10-3 in the period. Have no excuse as to a lack of effort. Had an entire week off. Cull had days to put this lineup together and work the lines day after day.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Right now the Comets are having difficulty getting through center ice, This was a fault last season as well. Nobody seems able to carry the puck and dish off a clean pass. Thus, no offensive zone possession.

Chatfield can do nothing in the form of taking a pass or skating with the puck, yet there he is in a time when the Comets should be icing their best offensive players. Teves and Chatfield should see little to no time in this type of game situation.

 

[Hoghandler]

Bancks scores with 2:00 to go. Tie game.

 

[Bad Goalie]

G----O------A------L!!!!!!!!!!
3 guesses to who and you will still be wrong.

Sautner tossed it in front from the left circle and Bancks put it home.

Bancks from Sautner and Baertschi.

It's 3-3.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets come right back in and a shot goes just over the crossbar.

1:48 to go.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Lind has a lot of trouble controlling the puck tonight.

Bailey works the puck to the net by himself and just misses on the short side.

 

[Bad Goalie]

3rd comes to an end and the Comets manage to scratch one out late and this one goes to OT. It's a point and the opponent is not in their Division.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Okay, Bancks.
Yes, Bancks!
The much aligned captain.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Pens right in and Mac stops it.

2 on 1 for the Pens and Mac another save.

2 more stops by Mac.

Goldobin in and his great cross crease pass comes up empty.

Mac another stop on a crashing Abt.

This has been all Pens.

 

[Bad Goalie]

WhyTF is Chatfield on the 3 on 3?

Terrible turnover pass by Chatty.

 

[Hoghandler]

Rafferty to Jasek, game over Utica.

Great play by Brogan on the game winner.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Aggozino all alone fires in front. Mac the save.

Back up the ice Baertschi to Rafferty to Jasek at the backdoor.


G---------O----------A-----------L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jasek for the win. Thank you Captain Bancks! WHEW!

 

[Bad Goalie]

Have to give this win to McIntyre. He was the only reason this game wasn't lost long before Jasek got his chance.

OT shots were 6-1. Pens and those 6 shots were unchallenged Grade-A chances.
