Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[DoubleOT]

That killer 4th line comes through again!

 

[hohosaregood]

Is this 4th line kinda reminiscent of the Andrew Desjardins Crazed Rats line from the Worcester days?

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Whoa matinee game

 

[Hobocop]

Think that's Frisch with the primary assist? Camera didn't really catch this goal very well. Dude looked like he was just trying to keep the zone.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

They’re playing Luca very aggressive. They’re playing 2 men high and not letting him have anytime with the puck on his stick.

Good, we want teams to adjust and we want him to adapt. Was this Vegas strategy change implemented after the Pots-Cagnoni goal or from the outset of the game?

 

[TheBeard]

Bords has a busted thumb. This sucks

 

[Hobocop]

Halttunen is down. Took a cross check, but it didn't really look like a horrible one.

 

[TheBeard]

Bords has a busted thumb. This sucks

He’s in a ton of pain.

Halts also injured. Straight to the lockers. Bad shift.

 

[Hobocop]

It was actually Calen Addison who threw the crosscheck that got Halttunen hurt, too.

 

[Hobocop]

Cardwell finally scores! 4-1. Assist to Anthony Vincent.

 

[TheBeard]

Bords looks like he’s done for the day. His left wrist.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Bords looks like he’s done for the day. His left wrist.

Wait what happened??

 

[Hobocop]

Bords looks like he’s done for the day. His left wrist.

Ugh. Sucks. Was excited to finally get him back. Least we don't play again til Wednesday, hopefully some rest will help.

Coe decides to go after someone post-whistle. Not going to lie, I like it.

 

[TheBeard]

It’s getting reaaaaaal chippy down here. Quinney is yammering at everyone.

 

[DoubleOT]

Really glad Cardwell got one. He's had a bunch of good looks early in the season here.

 

[TheBeard]

Wait what happened??

Dunno. Was on same play as Halt injury.

Vincent wants a piece of everyone

Dunno. Was on same play as Halt injury.

Vincent wants a piece of everyone

And he just got the boot.

 

[Hobocop]

Well, our PK finally gave one up, but we were down 5 on 3 after all the extracurriculars. 4-2.

Bystedt follows with the empty netter, but it's after a huge effort from Cardwell. That's three points for Cardwell today, too.

 

[DoubleOT]

Cardwell tips the puck from Addison, skates it down, wins the battle in the corner and sets up Bystedt for the EN. Great hustle from Cardwell.

 

[Hobocop]

Henderson does wind up getting one more, but that's all she wrote, 5-3 Cuda win. We take both games in Henderson and are now 5-1.

They never actually announced the penalties for the scrum at the end there, but it sure felt like they were all called against us.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Hope Halttunen is gonna be alright. Head against the boards is never good

 

[Jargon]

Starkly different Cuda team.

 

[Hobocop]

Cardwell's work on the empty netter.

His stat line on the game: 1 goal, 2 assists, 4 SOG, +4. His total on the season is now a much more respectable 5 points in 6 games.

 

[hohosaregood]

Feel like Cardwell could come in and be a good F1 type of puck retriever for the NHL team who has a little more skill and/or IQ than one of Grundstrom/Kostin/Kunin/etc that could maybe fit into the top 9 a la Eyssimont.

That was as dirty a performance as I’ve ever seen (in reference to henderson). It reminded me of the way Florida played two years ago except without the superior goaltending.

it comes with the territory down here sometimes, but what I can't understand is why Halttunen was taking so much punishment. Not like he was much of a factor in Wednesday's game. I enjoy the dirtiness in the AHL sometimes. Gives the league sort of an unrefined charm.

Relatedly, the Barracuda actually lead the league in penalty minutes now. Coe and Vincent both got misconducts at the end (see 1:45 of the above video. Seriously, I like seeing that from Coe). It's just funny how little I care about that stat since we're doing well in so many other categories.
