Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Lebanezer]

Any timeline on Chernyshov?

I saw an unsubstantiated rumor on twitter that he should be ready the first week of January.

Joe Carroll has been loaned to Team Canada for the Spengler Cup.

It seems like an odd choice, Carroll has been playing in the ECHL all season but is still under Barracuda contract, but then the Spengler Cup is a bit of an odd tournament.

Okay, so they finally changed both of our third period goals vs. CV today (a couple days after the game)

Goal 4: Cagnoni (Bystedt, Gushchin)
Goal 5 (EN): Furlong (Vincent, Poturalski)

So no more two-point game for Graf, Furlong does indeed now have his first AHL goal, and Poturalski actually finished the game with FOUR points, not three.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a game where they had to change the scoring on more than one goal days later.

 

[Hobocop]

Last game of the road trip, we come back to San Jose tomorrow to face these same Condors.

First game of eight this season we have against Bakersfield.

Alright, well White's back out, with Vanroboys in. First time the original line 4 has been together in a long time.

Coe comes in for the first time in a while, replaces Bordeleau. Not sure what's up there.

Condors are wearing some red alternates which are a very weird clash with the rest of their gear, IMO (edit: Ok, they were just warmups. That's a good thing).

 

[Hobocop]

Nollenberger points out that Bakersfield has the worst power play in the league (10.9%), and in fact they've yet to score a PPG at home.

White still dealing with the foot issue, Bordeleau with "undisclosed injury."

 

[LadyStanley]

Condors came out in white for game.

So odd to me that the Barracuda seem to have just a few ads that they then play all year. They keep playing this Toyota ad advertising a deal on tires that's Halloween-themed (since the season started in October)

It's why last year the DGDG guy kept declaring "Fall is in the air" during ad breaks.

Barracuda looking a little flat to start this one. Schuldt with a rare miscue and turnover that Romanov bails him out on with a big glove save.

 

[Hobocop]

0-0 after one period. Condors had a couple good looks, but there hasn't been much else happening yet. Shots 13-6 Bakersfield, Cuda went 0/1 on the PP.

Kannok-Leipert has been looking to start something. I remember this guy as a pest with Abbotsford the last few years.

Jake Furlong needs to start paying attention to where he's passing the puck.

Bystedt goes awkwardly into the boards, goes to the bench gingerly.

 

[CHALUPA]

Bystedt goes awkwardly into the boards, goes to the bench gingerly.

I don’t see what his hair color has anything to do with this

 

[Hobocop]

Bystedt's fine, he's already back out there.

Caggiula took a penalty trying to go after Vanroboys, who was just not willing to fight back. Good discipline from him.

Lot of pushing and shoving happening after each whistle.

 

[Hobocop]

Still 0-0, two periods in the books. Been pretty even. Shots 24-23 Bakersfield. Romanov with a big save on a Jacob Perreault breakaway in the final minute.

Hey McCarthy, how about we not break up line 4 again?

Caggiula took a penalty trying to go after Vanroboys

Two minutes for illegal nomination of a horse to the consulship.

 

[Hobocop]

Condors finally break through, 1-0. Almost everyone on the ice seemed to be in the crease.

Looked like Romanov thought he had that one.
