Yeah. Getting rid of Welinski to trade Isley for Osipov seems going backward.
I get that it's all bottom of the roster tinkering, but they still need to be adding up front, not subtracting.
Edit: of course Utica won again today, so there's that.

I was not able to watch this one live so many of you already know the results. Spent the day hunting for the best prices on major appliances and new cookware.
Dinner.
Bringing out the Christmas decorations, testing lights, setting up the room to for the tree to be cut and purchased tomorrow.
Watching bits and pieces throughout the later evening hours.
1st period was all Comets without any goal-scoring luck
Legare took umbrage to a cross check on Laberge by Tyler Tucker and he instigated a fight between the 2 at 18:26.
Both got 5 for fighting, Tucker 2 for the cross check and Legare 2 for instigation, but Legare also got a 10-minute misconduct.
1st Period ended scoreless.
SOG:
13-6 Utica
Period 2
Springfield got on the board first with a goal by Dalibor Dvorsky at 15 15:15. This was a bad goal if ever there was one. A shot was lofted from the blueline and Poulter reached up to grab it for what should have been an easy grab. Instead it popped out of his glove, dropped in front of him, and Dvorsky instantly tapped it past him.
1-0 Springfield
Utica came right back a minute later with Sam Laberge denting the twines with his 1st of the season at 16:20. A wicked wrister from the left dot just under the crossbar on the shortside. 16:20

Less than a minute later Casey drifted down the middle looking for a pass and the puck came right to him off a T-Bird effort to get it out of a scrum to the the right of the keeper.
