And for good measure... F the poor goaltending. I is really mad... and a Utica guy gets a hattrick with the 2nd empty netter... Uahhhh. Switching it off now.
Justin Bailey has b2b hat tricks against HFD and has three hat tricks in his last 4 games. Talk about being hot lol.

Yes he did
*Shameless twitter plug*
I'd post straight on here, but the upload always gives me an error with the file, so this was the quickest way

Watched the First.
- Kravtsov active. Some very good shifts in O zone. Forced the turnover that led to the 2nd goal. Had some good forechecking moments throughout the period. And on the shift after the Fogarty goal, VK almost scored on another strong play. One of his better periods. VK also had a good deflection earlier in the period. Pretty noticeable. And getting into the dirty areas a bit more. He needs to continue to going to dirty areas and making plays. He is guilty at times of letting the play develop and trying to anticipate what happens IF a teammate wins position. Which means, he's looking tentative at times when he needs to support the puck. This period, he's doing better with it.
He also needs to get a little bit better in his positioning in his own zone and the neutral zone without the puck. He's not always helping his team structure in those regards. But a strong start regardless.
- Rykov with a good period. Flashed his skill at times. Very good read on the goal. And a great set up by Nieves. Bang bang play. I didn't love Rykov's game yesterday but a good first period today.
- Keane with the play/shot that was deflected in by Beleskey.
- Not in love with Hajek's game right now. A bit too active/scrambly. He needs to settle down and simplify his game. In general, with Keane, Hajek and Rykov in the lineup the D is really more activated than it was earlier in the year. And i think there's slightly less D structure as a result.
Back to Hajek -- he's not quite using his frame as leverage when making contact. I have no idea what he's doing wrong in that regard, but he's got a ton of size and he's an explosive skater for his size. He just isn't in control of his game or his frame quite enough. Whereas I think Rykov is playing with more poise right now. And he would be my choice for LD callup if needed. If I had to sum up my comparison of the two: Rykov seems to have more IQ/poise/vision. Hajek has more maybe slightly better raw physical skill -- speed, agility. Rykov lacks that the explosiveness that Hajek has, as a result he has to be strong positionally and make sure he's never caught flat footed or behind the play.

Knoblauch better have some bag skates planned... too many individual mistakes, outhustled and just plain and dumb stuff going on lately, especially on D and in the D zone. Goalies also don't exactly ooze confidence either. Pack are really missing Di Guiseppe.
Poor weekend overall on the defensive and goaltending side of things.
