The Utica Comets | 2020-2021 Thread

[Bad Goalie]

Comet losing all of the faceoffs clean as clean can be.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Man does this team miss Anas. He is the only real playmaker on this roster.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Turnover in the Crunch slot and N.Stevens just misses.

Now Arseneau gets an interference call.

They feels like they have spent most of this period killing penalties.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Are the refs usually this involved/bad?

 

[Hansen]

Yeah theres only so much you can do without a good cycle game and players who can set things up

 

[Bad Goalie]

3 on 1 sh and they fail.

now a 2 on 1 and they fail again.

 

[Bad Goalie]

PK works.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets are all thumbs this 3rd. Apparently back to back even with 8 days off still gases them.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Cuse is skating and running a system. The Comets are all for one and one for all. No cohesion of any sort.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Baertschi is acting like a 40-yr old man.

 

[Bad Goalie]

JC Cull leave 2 pairs together!!!!!!

 

[Bad Goalie]

I call the Comets play right now scatterbrained.

 

[Bad Goalie]

attempts to clear the zone are in slow motion.

You can't move the puck with wimpy pushes!!!!!!!!

Puck on the boards and the opposition pushing you don't slide the puck to the middle hoping maybe your guy is there.!!

 

[Josepho]

i feel like that empty net play by lind was unecessarily risky

Maybe he has Baertschi in his fantasy league.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Hey Woo and Rathbone.
Lind for the draw. Surprise Lind lost it

Loose puck in the middle of the ice and Lind and Baertshi get loose and Lind to Bart for the goal.

 

[iceburg]

Kielly with a strong game.

Nice to see Rathbone out there with a minute left and a 1 goal lead.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets hold on to this one and win it 4-2. Thank God Tampa has taken their better guys between their injuries and filling the Cab.

 

[iceburg]

Baertschi is acting like a 40-yr old man.

Looks like he's playing knowing his time in the organization is coming to an end.

 

[Bad Goalie]

This game was won 4-2 but 2 of the 3 goals that had them in front 3-2 for the entire 3rd period were scored by Vincent Arseneau.

The guys you want to score 5 on 5 did not doing anything.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Obviously the selector(s) only used points to choose the stars.

This was a ratty game, but a win is win.

 

[UticaHockey]

It was an ugly win but a win just the same. The Comets looked like a very tired hockey team while the Crunch looked rested and it showed. This was the third time in this short season where the Comets were played a back-to-back against a team the had the previous night off. When the schedule has three teams playing 90% of their games against each other this scenario will come up a lot. I believe this was the first win in a back-to-back so take the two points and get ready for next week.

 

[Hansen]

Looks like he's playing knowing his time in the organization is coming to an end.

Hes collecting a couple hundred grand every pay day and biding his time until he can go home to Switzerland, hes still going through the motions at least

He's getting mega chances so he's doing something correct. If lind could finish, bart would have abunch of assists as he keeps getting him the puck. The difference between Anas and Bart is that when Lind gets the puck from Anas all he has to do is pot it. When he gets the pass from Baertschi, he has to do something with it to get it home.

 

[VanJack]

Comets looked gassed on the second of a back-to-back. Kielly is quietly having a nice season for the Comets.....certainly his best since joining the Canucks organization. Also liking Woo's game. Kind of a throw-back, hard-rock d-man, who is solid in his own zone.

If this Comet team gets some players back from St. Louis they're going to be load in this North Division.
