Prospect Info: Down On The Farm (Ads and Glads)

[adsfan]

The Ads (19-14-2-3) host the Charlotte Checkers (21-11-3-2) 2nd in the Atlantic Division behind the Hershey Bears.

Murray is in goal. LD Gravel with Ufko. LW Chase De Leo, C is Cal and Ozzy.

"Gnash" is here. He shrunk a lot! My daughter said that the skating Gnash looks tiny. The one in the stands looks like the real Gnash.

Appleby, the Checkers goalie, just threw an elbow at Lucchini at 7 minutes into the game. He must be a graduate of the Ray Emery goaltending school.

Gravel gets a penalty after 2 Checkers started things with him and Angello. Charlotte is playing DIRTY and the refs are allowing it. Expect some fights!

De Leo just got a skate yanked out and no penalty was called! Charlotte players keep yapping at Marino. That was 4 times that I noticed. SOG 14-3. The Ads had 4 penalties called. Somehow, Charlotte had one.


Period 2 begins with a Checkers penalty on Carrick for Interference at 16 seconds. They punched a few Admirals in the head in Period 1 and none of those were called. Now something is going on behind the Checkers net after the whistle!

Carrick elbowed Pavel. Marino beat the snot out of him. Both got 5 minutes. Steeves hit Murray with his stick, then shoved Ozzy to the ice well after the whistle! The IDIOT refs gave Steeves AND Ozzy Roughing minors. The crowd is screaming "Refs You Suck"! Then " You Suck". Four-on-4 Matier goes to the net and Cal (5) knocks the puck into the net. SOG 4-1 Ads with 12 minutes remaining.

38 for Charlotte took a hit from Angello. He has been hitting Ads players with his stick the whole game. Del Gaizo and Matier plastered two Checkers next to their bench. It was Boom, Boom time!!

A penalty was called on Charlotte for Holding the Stick while the Admirals had possession of the puck. WTH? The Ads called for 2 penalties. Livingstone was Holding for 1/10 of a second, then 30 seconds later Kemell is called for Roughing. The first call was ticky-tac. The second seemed to be a phantom penalty. Gravel is REALLY ANGRY. He said nothing to the refs as the Checkers players poured out onto the ice after the horn. About half the Admirals came out in response on the opposite side of the Red Line! SOG are 24-11. Refs are less than ZERO! Jordan Watt #83 has called almost every penalty on Milwaukee. He STINKS!!!


Period 3 begins with Charlotte 5-on-3. "Referee, Referee, Referee, You Suck!" by about 200 fans. They score at the end of the second penalty. The Ads play Beat the Goalie as Rolston (6) scores from low in the right circle. The assists went to Gravel and Reedy. Gravel is all over the ice because he is angry at Charlotte and the refs! With 13:40 remaining the SOG are 33-13 Checkers. Livingstone just rocked #10 in the NE corner. He came out without a helmet. Giles called for Holding at 9:32. Charlotte gets called for Slashing at 11:11. He hit Reedy on the hands. Kemell was tripped by #3, no call. Both penalties expired with no SOG. Now 6:41 remaining. Now 5:15. Down to 3:48 and nobody is getting SOGs. Ads miss empty net at 1:53. But hit it at 1:47! Gravel with an assist to Cal. Lucchini scored a low angle ENG in the last minute to make it 4-1.

Appleby's is CLOSED!!! Murray had 42 saves and was the #1 Star of the Game.

The Ads won their third game in a row and have won 2 of 3 from Charlotte. The 15 SOG have to be lowest of the season.

The Admirals play Charlotte at 6 PM.
My prediction is 3 fights. I expect Marino, Angello and Ottenbreit to fight. They all have reasons to fight after what happened last game.

Milwaukee (20-14-2-3) hosts Charlotte (21-12-3-2), both in third place in their divisions.

John Leonard played for the Checkers last night. He played for the Ads and Preds in 2022-23.

The ice looks very rutted in front of me! The teams are about to come out on the ice.

Chris Driedger is in net for Charlotte. Last season he played for Coachella Valley.

LD Del Gaizo with Livingstone. LW is Bjork with Cal at C and Ozzy. Chrona is in goal for the Admirals. Big crowd tonight!

Hometown boy Anders Bjork (2) scores at 26 seconds with assists to Cal and Ozzy. It was stick side. Cal continues his point scoring streak, 5 games, I believe. It is Teddy Bear Night. I would estimate 1000 on the ice. Some of the players are milling around to keep their legs warm. Nychuk and Livingstone were helping in front of me. The game restarts at 6:15.

The second line is Lucchini with Kemell and De Leo. Gravel and Ufko on defense.
Interference and Cross Checking on #25 versus Lucchini. It was not called!!

Charlotte has been in the crease twice in the first 3 minutes. Goal waived off due to Goaltender Interference. Angello gets a minor for Tripping at the same time. The Ads killed it. They killed all 7 penalties last night against the deadly Checkers PP. With 14:04 remaining, the SOG are 7-1 Charlotte, with the score 1-0 Admirals!

With 12:29 remaining, #2 tripped Ozzy on a breakout. It was called. Cross Checking on #29 against Ottenbreit. Shaun Davis calls another penalty for the dirty play by Charlotte! Ads with 0 SOG on the PP. After that, both Marino and Ozzy put big hits on Carrick. Livingstone 2 minutes for a big hit right after the whistle. It was called Roughing at 15:28.

Prokop (1) scores his first AHL goal with assists to De Leo (1) and Angello (6) at 18:28. The Checkers went for a big hit and it cost them a goal! The horn sounds and Ozzy gets crossed checked twice by #25 Wilmer Skoog, who was a big mouth punk a few times last night! SOG 18-4 Charlotte. Driedger has a 50% Save Avg.

I talked to 4 STH, they ALL think that Charlotte is the dirtiest team that we have seen in Milwakee this season!


Skoog Cross Checking Lucchini on 2 separate occasions after the whistle. Minor and a Misconduct for that bum! That Ads have 2 SOG, but only 1 was put up on the board. The Scorer goofed! At 7:05, Charlotte scores on a shot down the goal line to make it 2-1 Admirals. Ozzy and a guy had sticks up for 10 seconds from the NW corner to the far side of the Checker net. No Calls. Lucchini called for Slashing at 10:47. Compared to some, that wasn't much. The Ads killed it. SOG 23-7, really 8, Checkers with 6:07 remaining. Charlotte scores a fluky PPG from the SE corner and off the inside of Chrona's leg behind the pad and into the goal. Minor to #19 for Tripping at the far Blue line. That was John Leonard.

After 0 SOG, with 11 seconds left in the penalty, Ozzy (10) weaved his way through 2 Checkers and scored, with assists to Lucchini and Ufko. Pavel called for Delay when he sent the puck over the glass from the Neutral Zone. That is NOT a penalty!!! SOG 26-8, really 9, Checkers. The score is 3-2 Admirals. Driedger Save % is up to 62.5. Big Whoop!


There are 58 seconds of carryover on the penalty. The Checkers chip one in with 7 seconds left in the penalty. None of their goals have been blistering Slap shots.Teddy Bear count was over 3000!

With 17:54 remaining, #14 gets called for Elbowing. Ads with 1 SOG on the PP. They need to sit De Leo and Reedy on PP1 and PP2. They should be using Bjork and Ozzy! This is where the 11-7 hurts the team. SOG are 31-11 with 10:51 to go. SOG are 33-12 with 5:19 remaining. The puck has been in the Ads end a lot! Ads get a rare O-zone face-off and win it and a SOG. Ozzy gets hit into the boards after the whistle! Pavel punched the guy in the head. No penalties called. Just 1:57 left. SOG 8-7 Checkers and 34-15 overall.

We go to OT, like on Wednesday! Bjork, Cal and Ufko just missed a goal. Then Charlotte just missed a goal. Neither team connected on that last pass.

The Ads lose at 3:32 after bad passing in front of 8192 fans. Ozzy was the #2 Star of the Game with 1G and 1A. It was a highlight reel goal.

Karl Taylor said "We were outplayed". My wife agrees with him!

Ref Ratings:
Shaun Davis, #31, gets a 9. (Tell everybody that you know!!!)
Jordan Deckard, #14 gets a 2. (I thought he was trying to make the Ads lose. My daughter believes that he was paid off!)

Linespersons:
T J Lyle, #88, gets a 2. (He blew 2 Offside calls, 3 if you are a Checkers fan. He was the third Dman for Charlotte tonight. He broke up 4 or 5 Admirals rushes!)
Craig Ford, #70, had puck drop issues, a lot of them. He gets a 3.

Three out of four on ice officials got a bad rating. Shaun Davis got the good one. The hockey world is upside down!

Edit: Skoog, the serial cross checker, should be suspended!

 

[adsfan]

There have been several Admirals not playing. I assume it is due to injuries.
Mutter is one. I think that Reid Schaefer is out for the season, as is Ratcliffe.

I have not seen Alex Campbell (C) for a few games or Mitch Lewandowski (LW).

I have never seen Jordan Frasca (LW) or Austin Roest (C) play.

 

[adsfan]

The Admirals (20-14-3-3) host the 2nd place Texas Stars (24-13-1-0) at 7 PM.

Reedy (LW), Cal and Wall. On D are Statsney (LD) and Livingston. Murray, the former Star, in goal.

Hellberg, the former Admiral, is in net for the Stars.

Line 2 is Lucchini with Bellows and Rolston. Del Gaizo and Ufko on D.

Line 3 is De Leo with Bjork and Ozzy.
Prokop on D.

Line 4 is Marino and Angello with Wall (later, it was Bellows). Matier and Ottenbreit on D.

So the Ads are playing 11-7 again.

Ads PP is Cal with Rolston, Bjork, Lucchini (C) and Del Gaizo.

PP2 is De Leo, Ozzy, Bellows, Reedy with Ufko.

SOG 9-7 Texas, with No score.


Period 2 starts with a Texas minor. Ads ice the puck on the PP. Ufko (9) from the center of the Blue line to Reedy (3) for a PPG. The other assist went to De Leo (2). The SOG are even at 10.

Prokop (3) shoots from the right point and Marino (4) sends in the rebound at 7:48 to make it 2-0 Admirals. SOG are 12 each. Del Gaizo hauled down at 11 minutes. (He drew the previous penalty. He had an ugly bounce off of the end boards.) The Ads make a bad change and Texas scores a SHG with 4 seconds remaining in their penalty, to make it 2-1 Ads. With 4:19 remaining, SOG are 17-15 Ads. Murray stops a breakaway.

Lind comes into the crease late and gets manhandled by a few Admirals. He should have curled off to his left, instead of the center of the net!

Cal gets run over by #25. The next trip down, #8 knocks the net off of both posts. Nothing is called either time. SOG were 11-10 Ads and 19-18 Stars.


The third period starts with the same six players for the Admirals and some up and down the ice hockey. Ozzy with a big hit on #37 after Milwaukee loses the puck in their O-zone. Weisblatt is playing with Angello and Marino. Ozzy stays on for De Leo and Bellows.

Texas gets 2 minutes for Tripping Ufko. The puck trickles through the crease. Ads with 4 SOG, but only 3 were counted. Officially 26-24 Texas. They had 2 nearlies.

Bellows is back with Angello and Marino. Texas is getting a lot of SOG. With 6:54 remaining, it is 34-25 Texas. One guy from each team for Cross-Checking with 6:21 left. Statsney was leveled, then Livingstone leveled the guy who did it. Then Statsney fell on top of that guy.

The teams are going up and down again. With 3:50 remaining the SOG are 36-28 Texas. A Texas player square danced Ozzy from the face-off dot to the Texas Blue line bench door. How is that NOT a penalty? At 1:47, Texas calls a TO and pulls Hellberg. Ads miss a ENG with 7 seconds left. The Ads win!!!


SOG 37-27 Texas. Murray was #1 Star with 36 saves. Marino was #2 with the GWG. I believe that Prokop was #3 with an assist.

Del Gaizo never came back for period 3. The guy that sent him head first into the end boards deserves a suspension! That was most of what Karl Taylor talked about in the post game show.

Cal's 5 game point streak was ended. The Ads are now 1 point behind Texas.

The Ads (21-14-3-3) host the 7th and last place Manitoba Moose (11-24-1-1).

The starters were LD Statsney with Livingstone. LW Reedy, Cal at Center and Angello. Chrona in goal.

Domenic DiVincentiis in net for the Moose.

Livingstone was in a wrestling match at the Ads Blue line at 48 seconds. He and Jaret Andersen-Dolan of the Moose got 5 for Fighting. I did not see any punches thrown. J A-D would not let go of Livingstone and he objected to that!

Statsney gets for 2 minutes for Holding. (I saw cross-checking, not holding.) We have a Kozari as a ref. Can you tell that?

Tyrel Bauer creamed Stastney for no reason. He got to dance with Marino. Bauer 2 for Interference and 5 for Fighting. Marino cleaned his clock, then pulled the jersey over his head. Ads give up a SHG with 45 seconds left in the penalty. Moose score a PPG.

The Ads score less than a minute later, to make it 2-1 at 15:42. Angello (7) with assists to Livingstone (4) and O'Reilly (20). Matier called for Hooking at 17:53. The SOG are 8 each. The Admirals killed the penalty and no shots were allowed. Moose 2 and Admirals 1.


Period 2 begins with the same six Admirals players. Then Ufko and Ottenbreit. Then Matier and Prokop on Defense. Pavel (1) with assists to Angello (7) and Ufko (10). The Ads are playing 6 Dmen, but I have seen forwards double shift, so I think there were 11.

I bet that Del Gaizo is injured! I don't know about Nychuk. (Gravel and Murray were called up to the Preds a few hours ago.) Pavel literally motioned getting the monkey off of his back and chopping it with his stick! It is 2-2 with 14 minutes remaining. The SOG are 11-10 Admirals. How about THAT!

Chrona makes a save and there was a big scrum with 9 players. Only Bauer kept out of it. Wall lost his helmet. The face-off was moved outside of the zone. A bad bounce led to a Moose goal, making it 3-2. The Ads hit the post with 5:30 remaining.

Something happened at the Admirals Blue line and 2 guys jumped Ottenbreit with 1:56 remaining. Four players were sent to the box for Roughing. The Ads front line is 16, 17 and 18. That is O'Reilly, Reedy and Rolston. Moose doing a lot of interfering in the last minute, none was called. The SOG 8-4 Moose.


In Period 3, the Ads have zero SOG in the first 7 minutes! The Moose have 3 SOG. Rolston had a breakaway with 8 minutes remaining and could not find the open spaces on the goal line. I could see 3 of them. With 5:31 left, the Moose get a Minor for High Sticking. Marino helped Bauer up off the ice after a pile up. Zero SOG on the PP. Chrona can't leave the net until less than 1 minute left. No more SOG, the Ads stop at 18 and lose in front of 6051 fans.

Karl Taylor said "We didn't play well." My daughter said "No kidding!".

Angello, Bellows, Rolston and Statsney all looked hurt in Period 3. They need to get some guys from Atlanta for tomorrow night's game at Rockford. I am sure that Gravel was supposed to be the 7th Dman tonight. The back up goalie was Ethan Haider, #31, from Atlanta, 13-9-1, 2.87 GAA and 0.899 save%.

 

[adsfan]

Chrona in goal. Cal at Center, with Bellows and LW Ozzy. Statsney and Livingstone on defense.

Mutter is playing and already had a big hit. Lucchini (C) and Bjork are up front. Ottenbreit and Ufko on D.

Kemell with De Leo (D) and Ralston. Prokop and Nychuk on D.

Mutter with another big hit. The Ads seems to be playing 3 lines? Matier is playing, so that is 7 Dmen.

At 4:47, Rolston (7) scores from the slot.
The assists went to Kemell (15) and Nychuk (4).

Rockford gets a fluke bounce off a seam and scores. The IceHogs get a second goal from a deflected half wall shot to go up 2-1. Mutter gets into a wild fight where he and Baddock rolled around on the ice. They got up and kept fighting. Mutter gets an extra 2 minutes. IceHogs score off the next face-off, 13 seconds after their second goal, at 12:48.

Ethan Haider comes out to replace Chrona, who stopped only 2 of 5 SOG.
That is only the second time this season where the Ads changed goalies. The other time was also a game at Rockford.

Kemell faked a shot, roze the defense, then passed to Bjork (3) with assists to Kemell (16) and Statsney (3) for a PPG at 15:13. Marino is on the ice. SOG are 9-5 Rockford and the score is 3-2 Rockford.

Lucchini (11) shoots off a skate at 19:15 and scores! Weisblatt (12) and Statsney (4) with the assists. Pavel is on the ice. Six goals on 15 SOG. WOW! The first one to 10 wins. SOG 11-6 Rockford.


In Period 2, Ondrej Pavel gets into a fight at 3:49 with Matteo Pierroniro.

Aaron Sims made several comments about the officiating. They were missing Offside and Icing calls against both teams. He commented that their medical benefits should include eyecare!

Half way through the period, no other goals gave been scored. At 14:16, Pavel (2) snaps one in to make it 4-3 Ads. The Admirals just hit the post! Weeks is looking shaky in goal. The Ads got the puck behind Weeks, through his legs by Rolston, but not across the line. The Ads have 12-8 advantage in SOG.


Rockford ties the game at 41 seconds of the third period. There is 12:48 remaining. It is down to 9:19 to play, the SOG are 22 each.
