[Hobocop]

Wasn't Robins injured a bit last year?

Yep. He missed a lot of time at the beginning of 23/24 and never looked 100% even after returning. I'm really impressed with his bounceback so far. He's just constantly involved in the play when he's on the ice.

Tough game for Cardwell.

 

[Hobocop]

Oh c'mon. Second SHG we should've had but Bystedt just shot that one poorly. He had a completely open net.

Bailey takes a penalty because he was trying to sweep the puck out, missed the puck and tripped a guy.

 

[Hobocop]

Aaaand the Reign tie it up with the goalie pulled. 3-3.

That's a tough one to swallow.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Well that's a bummer.

 

[Hobocop]

You've got to be kidding me.

Reign score again. 4-3 Ontario with 34 seconds to go. Keane just needed to get rid of that puck.

Dumb way to end the weekend, but I gotta say that was one of the most impressive PK displays I've seen in a while at any level.

Speaking of the PK, that miss from Bystedt is now haunting me, but is hardly the main reason we lost. Totally different game if he didn't somehow shoot this wide:



Ugh, I can't stand losing to Ontario. Especially like that.

Seriously a huge bummer. That puck goes in and the game is over. My stream was a bit grainy so at first I thought maybe the pass was bouncing, but he straight up biffed it.

It probably would have helped if we didn't spend half the game on the PK, though...

Biggest issue I have with our penalties this weekend is that they mostly haven't been due to breakdowns in discipline due to us losing our temper or something like that, they've just been sloppy/careless individual incidents.

And it's not really one person (well, okay, maybe Hache). Couple of them today were hard to judge cause they were off-camera, but they've got to clean that up.

Thought Bystedt, Graf and Robins were the best forwards so far. Very impressed with how Graf has been playing. Smart player. Bystedt has just been doing everything well.

Impressed we're playing this well when two guys I think are major pieces for us have not shown up, that being Cardwell and Bailey. Have no doubt they'll get it going, but Cardwell has looked like he's in his own head and I feel like Bailey is just being a bit lackadaisical in his play.

Just really annoying that we wind up with 0 points from that game. Ah well, we're back next Saturday, at home, vs. Iowa.

Feel the same way. Specifically to the bolded, it felt almost deliberate that we hardly saw any replays of penalties that were called off-camera. Maybe just a coincidence, but it felt weird.

Graf’s goal highlights are really impressive. Tenacious and skilled. It’s wild that he’s not even a top 10 prospect for the Sharks.
