3 or so saves by Shesterkin point blank

Every single game these posts are made. The kid is absolutely incredible, coming in and immediately just dominates. Gotta get this kid a look. Dyin' to see him on the big squad.

Rykov has been terrible this game. Takes another penalty.

On the PP he always makes the simplest most obvious pass after barely holding the puck, and when he's had the puck on his stick at other times, he has reminded me a lot of Girardi. Been killing offense and making weak clearing attempts on defense.

Been a rough couple of periods for him.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Shesty is insane.

He makes beautiful saves and plays with the puck, and I swear to f*** he is yawning and shrugging the entire time.

 

[Levitate]

Yeah big period for Shesterkin, still 1-1

Some good chances for the Pack too but nothing going in

 

[wafflepadsave]

Wow then about a minute later Raddysh winds up in the neutral zone throws the puck to the right wall past the Dmen he goes and gets it and beats coreau short side 2-0 Pack. Right around the half way point of the period. Unassisted

Raddysh showing you much? Call up potential?

Kravtsov steals a puck down low tries to go to the net and dish off to DiG that just misses connecting. Quiet otherwise thus far.

Another big full reach glove save by Shesterkin Sound tigers broke in short handed. Then kubyak breaks in from the circles in one on one wirh Shesterkin and another save off the shoulder. Another great short handed chance. he shuts it down and sure enough pack get set up Rykov with a big blast from the point and rebound popped in by beleskey 3-0 late here.

bouncing puck in the slot bumbled by the Pack and Koivula just bats it in the net from 7 feet directly out in front of the net 3-1. Unassisted with 16 secs left. Dumb one on the Pack that’s about the only way you can even beat Shesterkin Feels like

Thanks for the play by play.

Pack have an ability to melt games like good teams do. When they get a lead things really slow down whistles scrums pucks getting deep. No one really runs around all 5 guys in the picture.

Which brings the question, knoblach better off in Hartford or replacing ruff?

You had me at replacing Ruff

 

[wafflepadsave]

Carey just made Rykov look like he was skating in quicksand, and scored a shortie.

Isn’t that his only weakness, foot speed?

Shoulda not eaten the spicy chicken!

 

[Levitate]

I don't know what happened exactly but Shesterkin kept the puck out of the net yet again despite Providence thinking they scored

Came back on to post exactly this. No idea how he kept that out.

 

[Levitate]

Belesky scores with 28 seconds left...Letteri threw the puck towards the net and Belesky knocked it out of the air and in

 

[JimmyG89]

Shesterkin is so good with the puck passing it.

And Beleskey gets a goal with 29 seconds left

 

[Harbour Dog]

Beleskey from Lettieri with 28 seconds left!

2-1

 

[Levitate]

EN goal Pack are gonna win this one 3-1

Letteri now getting credited for the 2nd goal, Gettinger with the EN

 

[JimmyG89]

Gettinger slams home the empty netter from center ice.

3-1 win

The GWG is actually from Lettieri

 

[Harbour Dog]

Empty netter, all she wrote.

Rykov was perhaps the worst Pack player tonight.

Kravtsov isn't physically capable of muscling guys, but he certainly put in an effort and showed plenty of skill to create chances when he got the puck on his stick.

Shesty looked like an NHL starter, and was probably the best player on either team.

Keane, I never noticed a whole lot, but the positives certainly outweighed the negatives.

 

[JimmyG89]

What transition to North America?

 

[Irishguy42]

What transition to North America?

On-ice goalie transitions from KHL to NA lasts a game or two, if not less.

 

[cwede]

Maine comes from behind (twice) for 5-3 win, Day w tying goal, Ronning 3 pts

 

[Kovalev27]

Which brings the question, knoblach better off in Hartford or replacing ruff?

He and his staff should replace Quinn and his staff. Murphy has done a great job with the defensemen

 

[Kovalev27]

Will catch this game at some point soon but surprised to hear Rykov struggled especially after his best game on Tuesday.

not surprised to hear Shesterkin dominated.

Do you think Samsonov would agree?
