Barracuda News & Discussion - Part 6

[The Nemesis]

Can confirm I appear to be the only Sharks-aligned person here though.

In my Worcester Cooch jersey because there's no restock on orange Cuda jerseys until after the season apparently.

In my Worcester Cooch jersey because there's no restock on orange Cuda jerseys until after the season apparently.

We got chosen for an intermission game this season and while talking to the arena staff on the way, he mentioned that the team is thinking about phasing out the orange jersey after this season.

It's not the most reliable source, but I've been wondering about that.

 

[The Nemesis]

Emond sucks....

 

[The Nemesis]

3-0 already and Emond is done for the night.

3 goals on 5 shots.

 

[Hobocop]

I gave Emond benefit of the doubt last game because several of the goals he let in seemed unsavable, but that was an awful showing from him tonight.

Nooooo!

The oranges are unique. Otherwise they just look like the Sharks.

 

[Lebanezer]

Emond sucks....

It would seem he either was never good, or Martin Jones breathed on him.

 

[The Nemesis]

I never realized how big Megna is.

Meanwhile the Cuda are mostly getting caved in. Thank god for Melnichuk or this might be a slaughter.

 

[The Nemesis]

It would seem he either was never good, or Martin Jones breathed on him.

On Jones' way out the door he slapped Emond on the back and said "Hey kid, good luck" and the curse transferred like that virus from that star trek episode where everyone got drunk and Sulu ran around challenging people to swordfights with no shirt on.

 

[The Nemesis]

Reedy!

Team looks much better now.

 

[Hobocop]

It's 3-1 after the 1st, though, not 4-1.

 

[The Nemesis]

Much better end to the period than beginning.

Several guys have bursts of skill that makes them look like potential nhlers and the stretches of 'yeah, that's why they're here'

Also what the hell is with a 5 forward pp unit?

Blichfeld and Chmelevski got walked on one play because they're not d-men and don't make those plays at the line regularly.

They've been very obviously unimpressed by Kniazev on the PP so far. They replaced him first with Cicek. Then just went with no defensemen at all on the first unit after that, and that came from having all of our D-men missing for a couple games due to the covid stuff.

That group scored two or three goals Sunday, so I can't really complain. Not til the inevitable SHG gets scored against them.

I can see the logic, but they just looked lost when play went the other way.

Especially because it's pp1

 

[The Nemesis]

And it just happened again

 

[The Nemesis]

Melnichuk is so much better than emond it's not even funny

 

[The Nemesis]

The Cuda may be losing, but the DJ hasn't played any Pitbull. I'm calling that a win so far.

 

[The Nemesis]

Merkley with a noticable f*** up to allow a goal...

 

[The Nemesis]

It's weird that Hamaliuk looks better as a cuda than he did as a whl player.

Low bar, but still.

 

[Hobocop]

I've not seen McGrew in a long time.

 

[The Nemesis]

I've not seen McGrew in a long time.

I don't recall seeing him since some time early in the 2nd I think.

 

[The Nemesis]

Is the offence always this toothless? Outside the pp only Blichfeld and Leonard have looked halfway dangerous.

 

[The Nemesis]

In the immortal words of Jim Ross, this is bowling shoe ugly.

What does this say about Sommer? You just got back 6 guys who handled themselves decently with the Sharks and it looks like they were all worse with the Cuda.

 

[The Nemesis]

Mercifully it's over.
