The Utica Comets Thread - Part XXVIII - Calder Cup Finals Edition

[leftwinglockdown]

Griffins win with Comets' 4th line on the ice.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Brand new series now. The Comets can't seem to ever make things easy on themselves. What an opportunity they had tonight.

 

[CherryToke]

damn.. this team blows so many golden opportunities.

 

[VibinCanuck]

Why do I get the feeling that play should've been called and the play never went to the other side of the ice with Jensen and McCollum tied up behind the play...

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Best of 3 series now. 2 in Utica.

OT. GR Athanasiou, (5) (Jensen), 5:05

 

[a Fool]

what you describe takes a person to the link you're quoting, and for a bunch of people it doesn't work.

for example, i've hit play 75 times now and it still won't play. it just loads for a second and then goes back to being a play button.

I think once a certain amount of people connect to the channel is starts blocking new users. If you get it working just keep it open until the game is over.

 

[DadBod]

no problem. 2 in the Aud we got this!

 

[Craz1bo1]

Pedan can't come back fast enough. Clendening needs to come out

is Clendening the reason for tonights loss?
kind of a team thing isn't it?

Maybe, but GR didn't go to sleep and let a guy in alone on their keeper like the Comets did.

The Comets have not lost a game in regulation this season when leading after the second period. They have lost two in OT with tonight's loss.

Comets have only put back to back victories together twice in the playoffs, but are 6 and 0 after a loss. So Sunday they will try to keep that trend alive. Either they do or they return home down 3-2 and forced to win games 6 and 7 back to back. The history of playoffs in a league and any sport says that's a hard row to hoe.

Wtf was Clendenning doing at that goal...

Clendening played terrible, tonight.

He needs a kick in the rear

But the comets also have never lost two in a row in the playoffs...

 

[orcatown]

Comets probably deserved a better fate.

Amazing how Jensen has lost any semblance of being a sniper. Needs to be sat (sigh)

Clendenning needs to move his feet and stop playing the game from a standing position.

Good games from Biega (the best Comet), O'Reilly, Friesen, Zelewski, Huskins.

Baertschi kind of in and out. Same with Conacher

Markstrom solid. Almost got his toe on the winner.

Gaunce had some very good shifts but IMO should not be used as a primary PK player at this point.

Team needs some offense o from the defense. Somehow have to find a way to get shots through.

doing his best Bieksa impersonation?

Alright made my own little quickly thrown together highlight package

 

[Shareefruck]

I've only been peripherally paying attention, but is it just more or has the entire playoff consistently gone:

Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, Comets win, Comets lose, over and over again?

That's the gist of it

If we didnt have home ice, we'd have been eliminated long ago.

Thanks!

 

[Icebreakers]

Damn Virtanen needs to improve on his accuracy/finish, i think he panics a lot when he gets into some of these situations.
