Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Hobocop]

2 in 26 seconds for the Firebirds. 3-2 late in the second.

 

[Lebanezer]

Alright, we get Bords and Gushchin. No Cagnoni or Vanroboys today. Regenda makes his debut.

Dell starts.

Did anyone say why Cagnoni isn't playing?

Dunno, I’ll have to check later. I’m at the arena for all home games. Do wonder if it’s anything to do with that injury that kept him out for part of Sunday’s game.

Cuda aren’t getting a whole lot going so far in the third. 8:29 to go, still down 3-2

I went back and listened to the pregame and Nollenberger said that Cagnoni is injured.

 

[Hobocop]

Thompson! Tie game.

Yeah that’s got to be it then. Someone landed on his leg Sunday and he had to be helped off, mentioned that one last page. He came back not too long later, though. Hopefully nothing major.

 

[Hobocop]

Headed to OT.

 

[Hobocop]

Barracuda win in a shootout on goals from Gushchin and Carlsson.

Honestly, not a great game. By either team. Really sloppy one.

 

[Hobocop]

It's so strange to me that Coachella Valley is up in 2nd place, because they're the one team this season that we seem to be able to handle. We've won all six games against them thus far. Hard to judge most of the guys today because the game just had no flow. Lot of fumbling the puck, passes into skates, turnovers. By both teams. I dunno, like I said above it just wasn't a very well played game by anyone.

I've liked Bordeleau's play over this past month and he picked up where he left off. He's been pretty active in all zones. Gushchin didn't really do much of anything of note in his return.

Regenda looks like... a left winger with size. He did show some good hands while deking during one play but then just lost the puck. Dunno, seems like he'll do fine in the middle six.

Man, Mukhamadullin fell a lot today. I really hope this is something he can work on, because it's been a thing for a while now.

This is a random observation, but Dell was wearing #33 and I don't really have any idea why (he's #32, he has been all season)

[Hobocop]

Crazy that we'd been at the veteran limit all season and then suddenly Bailey, Sabourin and potentially White are no longer on the roster. Though I feel like at the very least Sabourin will be back.

Can we get another veteran in here? Maybe a center? Poturalski's been killing it obviously, but Bystedt's been having a pretty rough go of it as of late.

 

[Hobocop]

No Bystedt?

That fourth line is probably going to get no ice time at all.

 

[Lebanezer]

Graf has missed the last 2 shifts with his line. I see him on the ice during the break.

 

[Lebanezer]

Well he’s out on the PK so he’s fine, but it’s weird.

 

[Star Platinum]

No Bystedt?

That fourth line is probably going to get no ice time at all.

Development day

 

[Lebanezer]

That was a sick tip pass by Graf if that was intentional.

 

[Hobocop]

Poturalski with a PPG to make it 1-0. Great period from the Cuda. Shots 16-4.

That’s your score after one. Not too many complaints except a couple bad defensive zone turnovers.

 

[Lebanezer]

Poturalski with a PPG to make it 1-0. Great period from the Cuda. Shots 16-4.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Sharks can equal that total for the game against the Panthers.

 

[Hobocop]

Thompson sneaks in, bangs home a rebound to make it 2-0.

He hadn’t scored all season, now has goals in two straight.

 

[Hobocop]

2-1, Steeves scores for Toronto

 

[Hobocop]

Toronto ties it up late in the second, but Rifai takes a slashing penalty and then an unsportsmanlike to give the Cuda a four minute PP.

Marlies had a much better period. Generally been a pretty good game. Not a ton of stoppages.

 

[Hawkeye8]

Marlies take a 3-2 lead. They have been the better team from the second period on.

 

[Hobocop]

Toronto kills it, then scores after a Houle penalty to take the lead. We have definitely not sustained our level of play from the first period.

Going back to the PP though.

 

[jarr92]

Refs doing their best to give the game to the Marlies, some terrible calls.

 

[Lebanezer]

Lol. That was awesome.
