Going to the game this Saturday. Should be fun!

Robins seems to always the one doing these outreach things. I'd love to see him do well this year. Along with wanting to see him come back from the injury troubles from last year and respect for how hard he works on the ice, he also just seems to be a genuinely good guy.

I remember when we had the skate with the team event a couple years ago him and Raska were running races with the kids in attendance.

 

[Hobocop]

I don’t see Robins, which seems very odd.

Edit: Yep he’s scratched, along with Guryev and Russell.

Wallstedt vs Askarov. Should be a fun matchup.

 

[Hobocop]

Good back and forth so far. Boyd just walked right around Cagnoni few minutes ago, that was a little alarming. 0-0

 

[Juxtaposer]

Graf continues to impress me.

 

[Hobocop]

Puck sneaks in, looks like off Sabourin. 1-0 Cuda

Nope. Refs confer, call it off on goalie interference.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Right call, Sabourin was all up in the crease.

Nope. Refs confer, call it off on goalie interference.

It was so obvious it didn’t need to be challenged.

 

[Hobocop]

0-0 after one. Good period from us though, Wallstedt is just looking solid in net for Iowa. 15 shots for us.

That interference penalty on Coe felt very questionable, but good for him being physical early.

Lines:



Oh yeah, it’s a big crowd today too.

 

[Hobocop]

Houle deflects a Frisch shot in, Wallstedt was distracted wrestling with Vincent for a bit there. AND we get a PP. 1-0.

 

[gaucholoco3]

The Wild are completely selling out to prevent the Halttunen 1 timer on the Cuda 5-3. Even still it was the only thing the Cuda were looking for.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Drew is pounding the "take the shot" point of view hut but this is Jesper Wallstedt. You can't just throw shots at him and hope they sneak by him. I think it's good to try and increase your shot quality by trying to make him move laterally because you aren't going to beat him if he's set.

 

[Hobocop]

Not surprising it took this kind of weirdness to finally break the tie. 1-0 Cuda after two periods.



I was critical of a play Cagnoni made earlier, but this is the best game I’ve seen from him. Showing a lot of creativity tonight.

Cagnoni's made a couple of really nice defensive plays too. Seems to be handling the physicality just fine.

How long until he’s the best defenseman on the Sharks?

 

[Hobocop]

Everyone had the fourth line dojng all the scoring, right?

Anthony Vincent makes it 2-0

How long until he’s the best defenseman on the Sharks?

I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek, but he could potentially be the best non-Walman D-man in six months because of how brutal the rest of our D is. We'll see though, being a rookie pro has its ups and downs, and it's not really fair to extrapolate based on one great game.

That Vincent line is incredibly annoying, I would hate to play against them.

 

[Hobocop]

Own goal from iowa, 3-0. Houle should get credit for a SHG

Holy f*** Askarov.

 

[Hobocop]

I dunno how the puck stayed out of the net early on that PP…

Colin White then adds another SHG, why not

 

[Hobocop]

Cagnoni! 5-0. PPG

 

[Juxtaposer]

Luca!

Askarov Back to Back SHUTOUT!!!
