GDT: AHL Playoffs - Albany Devils vs. Toronto Marlies: Game One

[Brooklyndevil]

I just hope Zacha didn't get concussed. It would be his second one this year. Makes me cringe.

O'Brien must have let his guard down 10 seconds into the game.

Fun game to watch. Albany plays with such a high intensity. Wedgewood was a wall.

PP looks quite bad, especially zone entries. MAG is awful. Blandisi was invisible when not taking dumb penalties.

Hope Zacha is okay. Good game from him. His two-way game is really underrated. Still think he needs to shot more, dude got a bomb, but rarely uses it.

I completely disagree with this. He had a very strong game all around outside of the penalties. It was maybe his best defensive performance all year for either club, and he was shooting more than he usually does.

huzzah!

Well thank goodness for that.

This is what happens when TG leaves. Chaos!!!

lol this whole thread became a game of telephone with the Zacha injury. Thank goodness Albany does at least have a beat guy.

The bad news is O'Brien IS out indefinitely.

That is definitely bad news. Hopefully they can adapt for game 2. Zacha might have to take a larger role now.

Pietila played well at center last game, but I really think this would be the case. Kowalsky has been happy with Zacha so far, so I'm wondering if he'll give him a bigger challenge for Friday's game.

huzzah!

Thank heavens. Guess Zacha just didn't feel like mingling with the media, so the injury rumor cropped up.

Ah, well, this is a time I'm happy to have worried about nothing...

I don't know where the concussion notion came from, but he was undoubtedly hit from the side in the neutral and was not ready. Also didn't play a shift after that.

That Zacha rush where he took it end to end was pretty sick.

TheThingLonger can you capture it for us? It's around the 25th minute.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I'm very happy he's not injured. I just read on this thread that he took a hit in last nights game and never returned.

I was just about to ask where I can find it. I'll take a look now. Thanks!

Zacha's end to end rush



After the Vine cuts off, Zacha passed it to an open Nick Lappin who shot it from a bad angle, and the puck was frozen.

 

[DevilsJunkie]

Do we know who that Marlie forward Zacha pulled away from?
