Wow!.....Lind with a couple more, and on filthy one-timers. Are we finally looking at a breakout season from this highly-touted prospect? And Focht with his first professional goal.

 

[Hansen]

Lmao was that Cam Darcy getting in Woo’s face?

dude is a plug I remember watching him play Fortnite with the guys on LaBate’s stream and he had to bite his lip all the time to stop saying dumb stuff

Anas is hot tonight. Best I've seen him in the 3 games.

Usually uncomfortable when Anas burns.

Glad to see it’s not a problem today though.

Lind was never highly touted.

 

[Lupuls Grit]

Lind was never highly touted.

Remember what board you're on...

 

[Hansen]

Lind was never highly touted.

I would say Lind was pretty highly touted coming off his final season in the Dub with nearly 100pts and 2PPG

Apparently Baertschi is considering signing with Zug in Switzerland after this season? Makes sense

 

[NuxFan09]

I see what you mean by the camera angle @Hansen !

 

[Bad Goalie]

I'm back. Seems I missed one for Bingo.
3-2 Utica.

GM Johnson and Benning thought he was valuable enough to sign up twice.

yeesh Kielly

 

[NuxFan09]

Binghamton has been coming on. Two goals later and it's a tie game.

Kielly sucks.

Lind, when drafted, was very immature both physically and emotionally. He’s now only starting to really mature, and understand what it takes to be a pro. His body is becoming a man too. Imo he’s on our team before the end of this season. And he will be a good middle six guy for us.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets D is not good.

It's already tied up 3-3 after 5+ minutes of the 2nd.

 

[Hansen]

Anas is a great example of why you should sign skilled vets to support your prospects. I guess Baertschi could count but you generally dont want to pay your minor league guys 3M.

Seems like a very under developed aspect of team management for our organization, so many ways to explore how to build a successful and thriving team that is sustainably supporting the 2-3 year cycle of prospects through the system

 

[Bad Goalie]

Don't understand the reasoning of Cull to go with Kielly 2 games in a row particularly when he stunk against Syracuse last Saturday.

Gillies is the superior goalie on this team.

Then again I gave up trying to figure out any of Cull's moves long ago.

 

[Hansen]

Id like to see Evan Fitzpatrick too actually, he was a very highly touted goalie leading up to his draft and even drew Price comparisons. Obviously hasnt turned out that way but hes an interesting player, even if not for our team

I've beaten that horse so long he is actually just dust.

Agreed. One player I've been wanting the Canucks to explore with this in mind is Emil Pettersson. Currently leading the SHL in scoring and may have an extra incentive to sign with us for obvious reasons. Besides the Pettersson connection he also represents a skilled depth player and/or center for the Comets.

 

[Bad Goalie]

This game is consistent with Cull's team in the past. They play a dominant stretch in a game and when the opponent makes adjustments Cull has no answer.

Something that you dont see Canucks media/twitter talking about nearly enough. It makes such a difference for developing prospects

 

[NuxFan09]

Top line getting hemmed in their own end here.

Aaaaand, the Devils draw a penalty out of it. Baertschi goes to the box.

 

[NuxFan09]

Dakota Joshua and John Stevens combine shorthanded to give the Comets the lead again! Stevens poked in the loose puck.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Baertschi off for 2 and the call is very questionable, but it was deemed a trip as the 2 collided.

John Stevens!!!!!!!!!!

Joshua slides a shot at the keeper and Stevens was front and center for the shortie.
