Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Hobocop]

We go to the power play and the Ontario DJ starts playing "Barracuda" by Heart. That's certainly a choice.

It becomes a 5 on 3, and it also becomes 4-0 Cuda, Halttunen once again! 3 minutes to go.

 

[hohosaregood]

halttunen's like "i am the cheechoo now"

 

[Hobocop]

And now the Reign are throwing a collective hissy fit.

And now the Reign are throwing a collective hissy fit.

Cause they suck?

 

[Hobocop]

Joey Keane makes it 5-0. I keep criticizing him and he keeps putting up points, so keep doing your thing, dude.

That's the final buzzer, and that is a SHUTOUT on his debut for Askarov, and he just knocks the net over as the game ends. Love it.

 

[Bowie22]

lol Askarov

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Halttunen 2 goals, Cags gets an assist, askarov with a shutout. Pretty good start to the season but once again penalties are an issue.

 

[Juxtaposer]

That was an incredibly fun game. Don't think you could have asked for more from Askarov, Bystedt, or Halttunen, and I liked Cagnoni and Graf too. Furlong and some of the vets were super solid as well. Highly entertaining to watch.

I used to be a goalie way back in the day. Only saying that to add some context that when a goalie is having a good game, I NEVER point that out until the game is over. I'm really superstitious in that regard. Otherwise I'd have been raving about Askarov all game. I mean, we played a great game as a whole. But that scoreline would not have been as lopsided as it is without his play in net. It's just one game, but that got me pretty hyped.

Jimmy Schuldt was such a big signing for us. He was huge on the PK. 6 for 6 on kills tonight for us.

And just think: We just played without two or three of our top defensemen. Again, it's just one game! But- yeah, that was pretty good, wasn't it?

Two assists each for Bystedt and Poturalski, just btw.

The whole game, I was thinking "and this is without Bordeleau, Gushchin, Sabourin, Thompson, Carlsson, and Mukhamadullin". Crazy deep team. Schuldt is a difference maker.

Bystedt's two assists were both really nice. Thought he was very strong.

Nice win

Bystedt developing into a high end 3C would be absolutely huge.

Featuring lots (but not enough) of Askarov, and a very depressed sounding Reign play by play guy.

I love that Haltunnen wears Cheechoo’s number. It just makes so much sense. Also? 2 goals in his first game… pretty good.

Very nice goal by Graf. Used his speed (he's not a burner but it shows he's got something to make use of) effectively in that instance.

Love seeing those goals by Halttunen. Obviously it'll be big to see what he can bring 5v5, but it's also awesome seeing that one-timer translate at a higher level. We know that's a huge part of his potential NHL future, and it's awesome when it's a threat like this because on the PP defenders have to operate differently simply to respect it, creating the potential for other opportunities.

Is your avatar Dickinson?

 

[karltonian]

The Aksarov era has begun!

 

[hohosaregood]

are neck guards mandatory in the AHL now? or is it just something the Cuda are mandating internally.

They're now mandatory in the AHL, starting this season.

Wow, the defense really hung Askarov out to dry a few times and he bailed them out of every one. Those were some impressive saves.

 

[Patty Ice]

Halttunen!!! 2-0

Power play goal off a sweet feed from Bystedt.

Halttunen doing Halttunen things.

 

[Shark Finn]

Hopefully a big season coming up for the Barracuda! Would do wonders for the club and all the players, especially the young ones with NHL hopes.
