2021/22 Utica Comets and ECHL Talk

[NJ Fan 12]

he has almost no accent, surprised by that

Was thinking the same thing.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

Russo and Flynn wearing 'A's.

Schnarr dressed. Don't see Clarke or White.

[Bad Goalie]

@Bad Goalie based on what you've seen who do you think comes out to make room for Colton White?

It's not based upon what I've seen, but what I think is it will be Groleau. Vet for actual non vet, but still experienced pro. It will continue to be a vet with a prospect on all 3 pairs.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Russo and Flynn wearing 'A's.

Schnarr dressed. Don't see Clarke or White.

If no White it will still be Groleau. No changes on D.

Schnarr could cause a little rearranging of the lines. That's if he gets slotted at center. Someone would have to take Clarke's wing.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Counted 7 Crunch players not dressed getting introduced. i might have missed someone as I just looked up to see it happening. That's more the norm. Comets only have 4.

All the D from last night are dressed.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Schmid back in the net.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

DeLeo-Schnarr-Thompson
Foote-Boqvist-Holtz
Zetterlund-Talvitie-Flynn
Gambardella-Schmelzer-Greer

Same D & G

 

[Bad Goalie]

Schnarr between Thompson on the left and De Leo on the right.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Crunch on the board tip in front. The Comets have yet to realize you have to tie up the guys near the net.

If the Crunch are anything like the past, they are like sharks at feeding time if they sense you can't defend. So far that's exactly the story. It's all Syacuse.

 

[Bad Goalie]

2 on 1 with Thompsson shooting and the save is made.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

Russo and Flynn wearing 'A's.

Schnarr dressed. Don't see Clarke or White.

Schmelzer with the other 'A'.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets passing is off.

 

[Bad Goalie]

There are quite a few masks in the Syracuse crowd. Not a LOT, but way more than in Utica.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets have worked their way back into this one with 12 left in the 1st.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Wotherspoon and Walsh both with difficulties at the blueline resulting in Crunch breaking out and get 2 good chances on Schmid who was equal to the task.

 

[Bad Goalie]

TV TO 9:56

 

[Bad Goalie]

Walsh hits Hugo in the mask from the point. He's fine.

 

[Bad Goalie]

I'm still waiting for Boqvist to impress me with something.

Holtz got in close but Hugo was on top of that.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Things are getting a bit chippy already. This group of Comets has no idea of the animosity between these teams an hour apart on the thruway. They have played each other more than any other teams in the AHL and many of the Crunch are still there,

 

[Bad Goalie]

Schmid makes 2 good saves and holds on. He gets jabbed and Russo takes exception. Like I said chippy, chippy.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

 

[Bad Goalie]

Wotherspoon walked and the net is missed

Boqvist flattened on the mid ice boards. Gets off on his own.

Keep your heads up boys. these guys will teach you the hard way if you don't.

More action in the Comets crease and Schmid holds on with more scuffling after the play.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Tal a god shot and a good stop.

Crunch come back strong and Zetterlund on an excellent backcheck breaks it up.

Comets have to realize that soft passes take too long against a team that plays the man with the puck. The Crunch player often arrives ahead of the pass or simultaneously. It breaks up the offense.
