Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Hobocop]

I feel like the Vincent - Vanroboys - Sabourin line has been the only one that has looked consistently decent over the last five games or so. Glad they all got rewarded with goals tonight

I also just added a video of the Sabourin fight for anyone who wants to see that (here). Wasn't exaggerating, they drop the gloves and then Sabourin just destroys the poor dude.

Fourth line's fingerprints were all over this game. MacDonald never returned after that hit he took from Vanroboys/Sabourin, either.

Scoring-wise:
Sabourin 1G 2A
Vincent 1G 2A
Vanroboys 1G 1A

Really nice to get that production out of them.

No Jacob MacDonald for Colorado. Big loss for them.

 

[Jargon]

This team is going to look so stacked in the playoffs when they get some of the NHL guys back.

 

[Hobocop]

Colorado scores with 9 seconds left in the first on a delayed penalty. One-timer off a seam pass. We are so poor at defending those.

Was a real uneventful period until then. Shots are just 9-6 Colorado. Askarov looks healthy.

 

[Hobocop]

Fourth line strikes again. Sabourin, 1-1.

 

[Hobocop]

Wtf, badly busted defensive coverage. Megna scores, 2-1 Eagles.

 

[Hobocop]

... the Barracuda, by some fluke, get a 2 on 0 while shorthanded. Giles passes to Regenda, who whiffs on it. We don't even get a shot off. Sometimes you just have to shake your head.

Ten minutes left and the Barracuda still trail by 1, but are really struggling to get any offensive pressure going against this Eagles team.

 

[Hobocop]

Net empty, 2:16 to go.

This period has been so freaking boring.

---

Colorado empty netter, 3-1. That should do it.

 

[Hobocop]

The angle Colorado uses for the highlights on their videos is really jarring to me, but whatever.

A split for this weekend's games is a good thing, but even though the Barracuda were only down 1 for most of tonight's game, I never felt like we were close to tying it up.

The good news: Askarov looked solid tonight, Bystedt is also playing well after returning from injury.
