Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2024-25: Where's the Farm?

[MJF]

4-2 loss

Welcome to the Bridge Cholo, goal in his debut

Chris Terry had the other goal.

To do your update some justice, the rest of the story needs to be told. I was at the game. Henrik Tikkanen gave up 2 horrendous goals. The first and third goals, both 1:43 into the first and third periods. The first one was off a center ice turnover. Comet split the Isles D, Tik has full view of the carrier and time to set and just never moved, allowing a short side goal. The other one was even worse. Tik plays the puck behind his net, not under pressure makes a poor clearing pass putting the puck right on a Comet's stick for an easy empty netter.

It's a shame because this was one of the rare games that Bridgy competed for the entire 60 minutes, battling back from 2-0 down at the end of 1 period to tie the game at 2 after 40 minutes.

And they tied it up late in the 3rd after entering the final fram down 2-0.

I watched the game and just like @MJF wrote above, Bridgeport competed the whole game. They were actually the better overall team and had some dominant offensive zone time along the way. There was even a play where Springfield scored its second goal off a one-timer but the puck came out so fast that they kept playing and Pinho skated down for a breakaway goal.

Got called back after the video review. Bummer! Strange situation.

However, the baby Islanders outshot Springfield something like 41-19.

And that doesn't even count the two outright posts they hit.
