Comets controlling play early.

Horrid giveaway by Groleau. Turned off the right wing boards and passed it directly to a Bruin who rifled a shot wide on a great scoring chance.

De Leo hit a post. Comets have hit a post and the Briuins 1.

Off a draw Zetterlund shoots directly off the draw from Talvitie and hits another post. That's 2

Ok dishes out a good hit on the right boards.

Comets to the PK at 11:37.

DeLeo Schmelzer
Talvitie Zetterlund
Gambardella

Bahl Russo
Gorleau Okhotiuk

Comets kill it.

With 18 seconds left inn the first Comets to the PP.

Holtz releases a wicked wrister from the left circle just outside the dot, but it's stopped.

Period ends
0--0
SOG:
11-3 Comets

2 posts by Utica and 1 by Providence
Prov o-1 on the PP

Period 2

Second starts with the Comets on the PP for 1:42.

Comets had a good setup but fiddled to make the perfect play and it's cleared down the ice.

Prov wins the draw and ices it again.

Comets get in and the puck is back out.

That PP was yuck. Now the Comets get a great chance and then right back in and a great save by Keyser.

Now Holtz a good shot and Keyser holds on.

Comets lose the draw and the Bruins get to the Comets end

Utica back in and De Leo just misses.

Comets cannot win a draw. It's the only thing keeping the game out of the Providence end for the whole period.

Comets lose the draw in the Comets zone. Comets weather the Bruins effort and the Comets get it out.

Bruins return to the Comets end during a weak change. Schmid holds on.

Comets lose the draw and the Bruins end up with another chance and Scmid freezes it again.

Comets all of a sudden can't get out of their zone.

Gambardella wins a race for a loose puck and goes in alone and Keyser makes a glove stop and ends up sitting on his butt.

Lose an other draw and here comes the Bruins.

2 Comets on the end boards against a single Bruin who slides it out to an uncontested Bruin who slips it by Schmid.

1-0 Bruins
Shots 17-5 Utica and the Bruins lead.

Russo fires one over the crossbar.
Comets swarming, but the Bruins get it out.
Keyser has seen every shot.

Now the Bruins press and Schmid a big stop.

It's back and forth now.
Another big hit by OK.

Holtz another shot stopped and held.

There hasn't been one time all game that a Comet has crashed the net nor got a chance in a dirty area. As long as Keyser can see it, it appears he will stop it.

A couple more Bruins shots and Schmid stands tall.

Boqvist does not impress me at all. He is a center and should be distributing the puck, but he is more carry it until he loses it or dumps it. same act for 2 both games. Not helping Foote or Clarke offensively at all.

The shots are drawing closer to even, 19-10 now.

Comets finally win a draw. Into the Bruins end and it's right back out.

Color guy, Sestito says the Providence end is still clean ice. Indicating how much this period has belonged to the Bruins.

First scrum off the left side of the Comets net after the whistle.

Comets have gone from being in control to being unable to mount any semblance of an attack.

4:23

Comets win an offensive draw and then make a dumb pass that almost led to a breakaway.

Bruins are pressing shooting wide twice. The Comets ice it. This is youth hockey. Go like Hell when the going is good and act dumbfounded and become incompetent when the tide turns.

Holtz gets in and rips it over the net.

Holtz not exactly an aggressive forechecker.

Comets have turned it up a notch.

Still directing shots at the net from far out but a guy seems to be in front for some of them.

Comets method of challenging for the puck is a stick wave and a circle turn after it fails.

Bruins have had 2 good chances stopped by Schmid in the final 30 seconds.

Period 2 comes to a finish.

1-0- Bruins

SOG - 12-10 Providence
2-period total 21-15 Comets

Prov 3--12
Utica 11-10

On the Bruins goal BOTH Comets D went behind the net to the lone Bruin. Error there.

With no D in front of the net somebody, normally the the center should try to pick up the slot to the crease front. However, any player with eyes would have got his ass into the net front. Even bigger error there.

No Comet in front of the net but there are TWO Bruins in front and 2 Comets coasting out maybe 20 feet away from them just watching to see what will happen and then the puck comes out to the Bruin. He scores with ease. These 2 guys deserve 30 lashes at least.

Those 2 Comets doing zero defensively should have had cameras to snap the picture of the goal for the morning paper in Providence. They saw it perfectly if that's what they were doing!

Yeah Okhotiuk was the other D.

3rd is under way.

Right away and the Comets S-----C------O-------R--------E!

Bruins arguing about the goal.

Bahl ripped it and there was a man in front and Flynn I believe tipped it.

Bruins argue high stick but it counts.

Bruins come back in and a penalty is called against the Comets. Schmelzer for slashing.

1 minute killed.

Big stop, by Schmid. One timer and another stop by Schmid.

Official out at center ice calls a X-check on Bahl in front of the net. 12 seconds 5 on 3.

Lose the draw. Back to 5 on 4.

Schmelzer skates it out and kills a bunch.

Gambardella steps in and makes a beautiful steal and clear.

Good stop by Schmid, leaves a rebound, but it's cleared.

PK successful!

14:09 to go.

Holtz stick handling in the middle of the Bruin zone and forces a shot. Once he has the puck, passing doesn't seem to be high on his list of things to do.

Schmid another good stop. 2 back to back shots by Comets. 1 from the right side stopped and rebounds to the left side and that shot is held for a whistle.

TV TO 9:06

Zetterlund misses the net on a shot off the draw.

Comets dump and go for a change.

Schmid comes way out to play a puck that was going to be won by the Bruin in a race with Walsh.
He was way out and another Bruin got off a shot but it didn't get to the net.

OK with a really big hit that puts a Bruin down.

Comets fail to get on the shooter out near the point. He walks unmolested down to between the dots and shoots. Schmid big again.

Last TV TO I think.
5:59 to go.
