0-0 after first

 

[pled]

went 0-1 after few mins and the second and cleveland hold until late in third when they let another one in. they decided to pull berube and got scored right after. at least some player didnt give up since they managed to put one in before the end if that is something.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Saw DeSalvo play in Toledo last night. Played well, but no points.

[Jackets Woodchuck]

How much longer can Kukan stay down here without it becoming a regular (non-conditioning) assignment?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Guess we can write off Thurkauf and Vigneault as prospects

I'd give thurkauf another year for sure maybe even 2 if is ok but not exeptional next year since he's still young but Vigneault seem pretty done not sure what happened honestly it can't be just on the coach but he did do pretty well in the echl so I think he might still get an nhl tryout next year for sure but probably not with the jackets.

Weren't we doing that with Bittner not long ago?

what can playing on the first line do to a player

 

[pled]

2 weeks so I don't think he can't play any more than 1 game I think

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Weren't we doing that with Bittner not long ago?

Yes. And some of us still have it that way.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

no score, 1st intermission

 

[pled]

Collins replace Siebenaler and kiv is in the net no other change. I hope that kiv doesn't break down again and keep it up

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Rochester PP goal 1-0 late 2nd period

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

1-0 2nd intermission

great save by Kiv to keep it 1-0 right before the end of the period

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Gerbe goal late in 3rd, 1-1

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

pp goal (Clendening, Dalpe assists)

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

now in OT

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

OT loss

 

[pled]

any reason why kiv didnt play the OT

 

[Monstershockey]

Kivlenieks left with cramps. Bittner also got hit hard in 1st period. He left the game favoring his right leg, never came back. Hopefully ok, but it really didn't look good. He really struggled to get to his feet. Shame to waste a solid effort from kiv. Offense never really got started. I hope this isn't the beginning of a slide to the bottom, but they really need to play better. I wish there was someone on offense that would take charge, but I don't think they have that type of player.

 

[Xoggz22]

Weren't we doing that with Bittner not long ago?

Some were. I'll go back to my comments last year. Bittner is extremely well thought of within the CBJ organization. They see him in a similar light to Anderson. He's still very young as well. Just had some personal issues to clear up and get committed to Hockey. He has the talent. Needs to continue to improve.

Guess we can write off Thurkauf and Vigneault as prospects

Guess we can write off Madden as coach.

 

[pled]

Kukan is up since is conditioning assignment finished tomorrow anyway.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

DeSalvo called up

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I couldn't get to practice Monday or Tuesday and the large number of games combined with the holidays means no practices for a while.

Next practice lines will probable come following the new year.

the forward probably wont change that much but will be interesting to see who get in kukan spot, hopefully Prapavessis is back
