[Svenhart2008]

Shesterkin starts in goal.

Yup just saw it. Gonna follow this one!

 

[Ranger Ric]

Checkers score first. Pack turns puck over at blue line giving up 2-1 with Shesterkin beaten on shot.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Joey Keane ties it up. Great forecheck by Nieves and o’regan who win the puck and pass to Keane in front for his first pro goal.

 

[Leetch3]

Kravtsov wearing #91 in hartford

 

[Ranger Ric]

LoVerde gives the Pack it’s first lead after a play by Newell who avoids a check to create a scoring chance and pass to LoVerde who buries it. 2-1 after 1.

 

[Ranger Ric]

He fumbled the puck several times and was not noticeable otherwise. Chytil has one nice lay carrying the puck but otherwise quiet. Keane very involved as was DiGiusepe.

Kravtsov wearing #91 in hartford

 

[Ranger Ric]

Beleskey on the power plat from Lettieri and O’Regan. I think Lettieri makes the key play.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Checkers dominating but Shesterkin outstanding. 3-1 with 7 minutes to go in the second.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

He fumbled the puck several times and was not noticeable otherwise. Chytil has one nice lay carrying the puck but otherwise quiet. Keane very involved as was DiGiusepe.

If Chytil’s goal down there is to focus on the finer points of being a center, I’m fine with and expect some stretches of being quiet

 

[Ranger Ric]

Great forecheck by Fogarty who passes out front to Leittieri who buries it 4-1 after 2. Pack looks fast, defense mostly solid and Shesterkin solid in net. Shots tied at 18 after 2.

 

[Ranger Ric]

That’s fine. A little more noticeable in the second period. Just wanted to note that he is relatively quiet so far. But very early.

[Ranger Ric]

All Pack. Beleskey finds a loose puck for his second. LoVerde and O’Regan with the assists.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

It’s good the Pack finally have at least one goalie that isn’t going to implode
*knock on wood*

 

[Ranger Ric]

Checkers power play goal. 5-2 pack with 15 minutes to go. Newell replaces Kravtsov on second line.

 

[Svenhart2008]

5:3....

This is all my fault, I spoke too soon

He got the win. But sub 900 sv.....

 

[Anzi]

Chytil +0 with 2 shots on goal. Kravtsov -1 with 0 shots on goal. Not ideal. Hope they get it going.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Pack give up one more goal on a rebound but close it out 5-3. Shesterkin makes key saves. LoVerde is as really solid but all defense looked solid. Beleskey was 2nd star. O’Regan first star. Checkers outshoot pact 28-23.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Lettieri is third star.

[Ranger Ric]

Chytil was better as game went on but certainly not dominating. Kravtsov demoted to fourth line. He needs to increase his intensity.

Chytil +0 with 2 shots on goal. Kravtsov -1 with 0 shots on goal. Not ideal. Hope they get it going.

 

[eco's bones]

It's a good start. Charlotte usually kills the Pack. Shesterkin with the win. Keane already off the schneid. Lindgren a +3. Maybe they can make the playoffs this year--at least make a real run.
