SCHULDT! Shorthanded with the goalie pulled, 13 secondss left

 

[Hobocop]

Well Toronto wins in OT, Romanov ends up kicking a rebound right to Shaw who puts it in.

First period was very encouraging. Rest of the game wasnt really. 4-3 Marlies.

Agreed.

I went back and listened for any info on Bystedt in pregame and all Nollenberger said was that he will sit today. Guess I'll see if he's in tomorrow. I have been down on him lately but wasn't expecting him out of the lineup altogether.

The reason we were shorthanded at the end of the game was a crosscheck by Mukhamadullin. It was a weak one, but it was there. The penalty before that was a little more questionable, as Poturalski and Blandisi got into it after Blandisi pushed Poturalski into his own goalie, somehow Poturalski got 4 and Blandisi got 2. The Mukhamadullin call is why we were shorthanded going into OT, though. That penalty had just expired when the winner went in. Refs were letting a lot of stuff go and then suddenly they weren't anymore.

Ah well, we get them again tomorrow. Our games with them this season feel like complete toss-ups.

I admit, while I've never been down on him, I've never been wowed by TB either.

He's an all-situation player and his defensive work's still good. But lately he is producing nothing offensively. Turns the puck over constantly, has no points in his last six games. Sometimes seems like he's trying to make the tough pass instead of the simple one.

It's not something that has me concerned about the long-term picture, but I have not felt like he's contributing the way we need him to right now.

I found it odd that everyone else, Graf, Cardwell, Sabourin... all got called up at some point, but not Bystedt. Even with Sturm out longterm you would think it wouldn't be a bad time to give him a look, but I guess there's no possibility.

 

[LadyStanley]

Bystedt is still very young, relatively

First-half recap: Western Conference

theahl.com

Generic league summary. But complimentary.

 

[LadyStanley]

Cags is back

 

[Hobocop]

Cagnoni and Vanroboys back.

Cardwell, fourth line. Huh?

 

[Hawkeye8]

The Barracuda may have had more had more shots but I wasn't impressed with their play at all. All three PPs were bad, especially the third one.

 

[Hobocop]

One period down, 0-0 is your score. Cuda have squandered 3 power plays already. Pretty meh overall.

This is the Marlies goalie who shut us out in November. He’s been good so far again today.

 

[Hobocop]

Anthony Vincent opens the scoring with kind of a fluky goal. Vanroboys finally gets his first assist on the year.

Toronto then throws a fit on the following face off and takes a penalty.

Another fluky goal by Cardwell. lol

 

[Hobocop]

Cardwell, 2-0.

Regenda gets his first SJ point because the puck bounced off his skate at the end there.

 

[Hobocop]

Pretty even game so far, but we’ve had a couple bounces go our way and that’s all it takes sometimes.

I am impressed with Toronto’s ability to give us a little space and then quickly take it away again.

 

[Star Platinum]

Cardwell, 2-0.

That's 4th line Cardwell to you

 

[Hobocop]

Toronto takes a bench minor for unsportsmanlike conduct (?) at the end of the second. But they kill that, and then take it the other way to cut our lead to 2-1. Not a great start.



But then Gushchin, 3-1

 

[Hobocop]

Blandisi on a redirect. 3-2.

 

[Hobocop]

Graf adds the empty netter, Cuda win 4-2.

Fun game.
