That would be good Charlie, anyone who goes sees Bridgeport play can make a few comments. A poster above asked about Finn, want to get a look at him. Scott and I were hoping they would take Finn in the second round in 2012 (they did better with Pokka since he became Leddy). Things didn't go well for Finn in the minors last year, he was hurt some yet wonder about him.
I just finished watching the game. This team is really improved from last year. The offense is hugely upgraded and the defense seems to be developing well.
Mayfield just physically dominates along the boards and in front of the net. If he can just clean up his passing a bit he has a bright future.
Petrov played on the second line with Quine. He looked good but wasn't outstanding or anything. He seems like he's still getting adjusted. He looked good on the powerplay though, very comfortable with the puck.
Czuczman is just way too offensively aggressive for my liking. Carkner looks his age.
BPT has a line who are all 6'4'' and taller. Wright-Florek-Vaive. Crazy big.
I thought Finn played well. Very solid in his own end and skated well. Didn't people say his skating wasn't very good? I didn't see that. One game though.
Gibson looked very solid. Good rebound control and he was challenging the shooter well.
One negative is that BPT wasn't very disciplined. Lots of bad penalties. Overall though this team is much better than last year and should be fun to follow.
Great report Charlie ! I think the Grabner trade really replenished Bridgeport with 4 solid prospects. I'm also excited to see how the Gibson/Williams duo does in net this year. Gibson got off to a good start. Much better talent in Bridgeport than in past years.

I realize its only 1 game and its with a new organization but if he doesn't get his head out of his ass, he'll be the next Brian Strait. It got so bad that every time he came out the fans were yelling at him to go back to the bench. He was AWFUL!

Mayfield and Pelech were the best defenseman last night. Pelech was throwing hits all night. Very noticeable.

Pretty wild game tonight. Line brawl in the second period after Pelech shoved someone into Williams (I guess they thought the Icecaps guy ran the goalie?). Then a penalty shot for the Icecaps when someone covered the puck in the crease.

Finn was awful in the Leafs camp and preseason as well. Matt Donovan was Bobby Orr by comparison - not even exaggerating.
Terrible decisions, nervous, hesitant - seemed to not think the game at all.
We will see what a season or two does.
