Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Hobocop]

Regenda, PPG, 2-0

Barracuda are doing pretty well, only 3 SOG for Abbotsford thus far. Game's getting a little hostile. Jett Woo continues to take some bad penalties.

 

[Hobocop]

Referees had to huddle up for a while to figure this one out: Tristen Nielsen of the Canucks takes a two-minute minor for high sticking, and then four minutes for headbutting Vanroboys. Vanroboys also gets a roughing penalty. Result: four minute power play for the Cuda, who have the top PP unit in the league right now.

Sloppy play for the first half of it, though. Period ends, Cuda have 1:20 of PP time left when we come back.

 

[Hobocop]

Really terrible power play, and it ends with an SHG for Abbotsford. 2-1 SJ.

 

[Hobocop]

Colin White, 3-1 Barracuda. Walker Duehr with the primary assist, he continues to rack up the points for us.

 

[Hobocop]

Klimovich with a PPG to bring the Canucks back within 1. Really good shot.

 

[Hobocop]

End of two, still 3-2. We've had some success this season on the power play against these Canucks, but they've figured something out against us, our man advantage has not really been an advantage most of the time in this one.

Abbotsford only has 13 SOG, but both their goals were good ones. Period ended at a good time, Abbotsford was starting to get some momentum going.

Elsewhere in the league, Ontario, Colorado and Calgary all lose, Tucson currently down 3-1 at Bakersfield. All good news for us.

 

[Hobocop]

Ugh. Bad change. Tie game.

All Canucks right now.

 

[Hobocop]

Silovs puts it over the glass for a delay of game penalty, Colin White with the PPG to put us back in the lead.

 

[Hobocop]

And Linus Karlsson ties it with 2:38 to go. That's a good old fashioned deflating goal.

We're headed to OT.

 

[Hobocop]

And we lose in OT to Linus Karlsson after White/Duehr/Schuldt got hemmed in for a ridiculous amount of time. What happened in the second half of that game, that was awful.

 

[Hobocop]

Once again, Barracuda can't finish off a game. Momentum starting swinging hard towards Abbotsford around the end of the second, shots in the third period were 15-4 Abbotsford. Third period our execution was just not there. I was a little surprised we took the lead again during that stretch.

Lots of two-point games. Colin White obviously (2G), Regenda (1G 1A), and Bordeleau/Duehr (2A each)

Was hoping we pulled this out, as it would tie us on points with third-place Calgary and Ontario, instead we're one point behind them. Well, three points out of four on the trip isn't terrible. Now we've got a week off and then we head to Tucson to face our friends the Roadrunners on 3/15.

I think Linus Karlsson's personal mission is to f*** San Jose every time he plays us.
