2021-22 Utica Comets and ECHL thread - part V

[Bad Goalie]

Comets don't show any more reason to cover the points then any other time this season.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Another breakaway surrendered by the Comets from the far blueline all the way in and he hit the post.

Luukkonen a stop in close.

Another from the high slot is stopped.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Not a lot of D being played by either team. It's just back and forth.

Jankowski shot blocked and his stick went into the 5th row.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Deleo shot from the low slot deflected into the netting.

Halonen is a bulldozer.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Daws gives a very big rebound into the slot off an on the ice wrister, but thankfully it was cleared away. He could have easily angled his blade and sent that to the far corner. Clearly his mistake.

[Bad Goalie]

Luuk has avery good knack for dislodging the net when he senses pressure.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets to the PP with 1:22 to go in the 1st

 

[Bad Goalie]

Holtz forces a shot he didn't need to take and it goes out of play

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

SOG 11-6 Utica after one.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Walsh blasts a shot into the D-man above the bumper.

Shot goes wide.

Greer a hard shot from the high slot kicked out and 2 Comets fail to get a shot out of the rebound. Holtz with the best chance.

Period ends with :38 to go on the PP.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets start the 2nd with :38 seconds of PP time on a clean sheet of ice.

Comets have the AHL's 5th ranked PP at 21.4%.
However, they have the league's 19th best PP at home.19.1%

That's not good for a team that will have home ice advantage as long as they last in the North Division's Calder Cup Playoffs. If they end up with the Eastern Conference title as well that home ice advantage would carry all the way to the Calder finals if they can keep winning.

Clarke stripped at the O-blueline and trips the culprit who stold the puck.

Off to the PK.
Greer picks one and goes down into the Amerks zone and hits Deleo full stride and his shot is stopped.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

Schmelzer picks up Irvine's rebound shorthanded.

1-1

Ryan Schmelzer (18)
Tyler Irvine (3), Robbie Russo (32)

 

[Bad Goalie]

Cleared the length of the ice.

Irvine gets a sh breakaway and Lukk stops him but Schmelzer streaks in and deposits the puck into the open net with Luuk out of position from his stop on Irvine.

1-1
