Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Alaskanice]

1-1 after the first period, Knights are on the PP to start the second. This feels a little too familiar.

Refs aren't letting much go today.

I just arrived to watch. I’m glad to hear Coe scored for a second game in a row.
Are the calls that bad?

No, not bad, but they're calling the small stuff. Guys aren't getting away with much.

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Coe putting up points is nice but he is a liability defensively, he will fit in nice on the sharks. The fact he is 6'5" all but guarantees he is the first forward called up.

Sure would be nice if I knew how his goal looked earlier, there's still no video of it.

Gushchin picked up the primary assist on it, and I feel like I should mention him because he's getting little attention so far, maybe since he hasn't put anything in the net just yet. He's now leading the Cuda in assists (4) and leads the team in SOG (17). He's very quietly having a good start to the season.

 

[Alaskanice]

Todd!!

 

[Hobocop]

2-1 Cuda! Todd's shot is blocked but it comes right back to him, he then buries it for his first of the year.

Primary assist to Gushchin, once again.

 

[Hobocop]

Anthony Vincent gets called for tripping despite the fact Cormier didn't fall down. That's an odd one.

Vincent was going for a big (perhaps questionable) open ice hit and missed, it kind of felt like the ref just wanted to call him for something.

I think he glanced him and he did stumble then fell. Odd to call tripping.

 

[Alaskanice]

Cardwell!! Breakaway!

 

[Hobocop]

Cardwell on the breakaway! 3-1 Cuda

And now a power play for SJ, as well.

 

[Hobocop]

And now the lights randomly turn off, halting play momentarily wjth 3:32 left in the second. What is going on over there.

End of the 2nd, still 3-1.

 

[Jargon]

Sounds like Guschin is making a lot of things happen?

 

[Hobocop]

Been a quiet third, but Henderson scores with 3:55 to go. 3-2.

--

Oh you're kidding me. They then score again eleven seconds later on a point shot. Tie game.

 

[Hobocop]

Cuda going on the PK with 28 seconds to go in regulation. They played very well in the third up until the last few minutes, so this is very aggravating.

Chrona with a huge stop before time expires, we're going to OT.

Chrona gave us OT with that save. Wow.

 

[Alaskanice]

Ugh

 

[Hobocop]

Henderson scores after the PK is up, and that's your game.

Well that absolutely ruined my day, thanks guys.

 

[timorous me]

Coe scores to open scoring

They should've just posted video of the horse instead of this gif that made me think we were going to see Coe's goal.

Cardwell on the breakaway! 3-1 Cuda

And now a power play for SJ, as well.

I don't know if it's even a hot take anymore, but I'd bet at this point on Cardwell playing more NHL games than Wiesblatt.

 

[exchequer]

Haven't watched any Cuda games but their record isn't very good considering some guys on the roster have had some decent NHL success

I'm skeptical Barracuda management knows how to find their own $$$ with a map and both hands, so

Last game the were sleep walking briefly in the 2nd and had to come back down a bunch to tie the game up before losing 5-4. Today they blew a lead and lost in OT. I'm thinking coaching is a big issue here.

Good to know.

That's two straight games this weekend where we played 55 good minutes and then briefly had a complete breakdown. They're getting too easily rattled. If you can coach that out of them, that's great, but we don't get points in the standings for playing 90% of a good game. Let's make this weekend an aberration.

They're playing pretty well, but they've got to get some things ironed out, quickly.

 

[Alaskanice]

Good to know.

Get used to this.

 

[Hobocop]

Get used to this.

It sure beats "Is anyone else worried about Eklund?"

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Sure would be nice if I knew how his goal looked earlier, there's still no video of it.

Gushchin picked up the primary assist on it, and I feel like I should mention him because he's getting little attention so far, maybe since he hasn't put anything in the net just yet. He's now leading the Cuda in assists (4) and leads the team in SOG (17). He's very quietly having a good start to the season.

Again, Gushchin is NHL ready. FAR more so than Bordeleau. Just don't get it.
