Ontario Reign 21-22 : I'm only happy when it Reigns

[lumbergh]

frk still being down is a bit of a question mark to me though i can't claim to have watched reign games, just seems like every night i see the reign results, there's another frk goal

i understand there's a bit of a glut of wingers/centers-on-wing with the big club right now but that shot is deadly. seems logical to have frk/kaliyev 1-2 on the pp units

suppose it's more about the youth insulation like regulate says?

I’m still in favor of dressing a specialist like Frk almost exclusively as a power play half wall winger. Roll three lines and dress three players only for special teams.

Wagner? Didn't he get the footrace to the shorthanded breakaway then following up with setting up Durzi for the shorthanded goal?

He sure did and before and after that he looked and played like crap. His issues with the Kings seem to have carried over to Ontario, he can’t finish, he makes very poor decisions with the puck and his situational awareness is very poor and he gets caught floating.

 

[cyclones22]

The Kings are going to have to outright release some of these guys soon. Taking ice time from prospects is not ideal.

fRK SCOREd before I could even sit down with my drink

Turcotte is a cheat code. But he's gonna shine with NHL puck support, he just makes plays people are not ready for or prepared to handle.

If you put Turcotte on that Danault-Iafallo line, the other teams might never touch the puck.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bako shot counter being more than a little generous to the home team

Tkachev just dropped my jaw with a drop pass and took three Condors with him opening the lane for the shooter who did nothing

Phillips is a complete bust. I say that every time, just reaffirming.

Can somebody taken near the end of the 4th really be considered a bust? At that point they're already a longshot aren't they?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Grans with a sick fake and a snipe!

2 assists each for JAD and Tkachev

 

[Eagle Fang]

JAD does not belong in the AHL

Maybe bust is harsh vs. expectations but whatever words you want to use for 'no NHL career in his future', he's that.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The shot counter is a total asshole

but that's fine if he wants to deflate his own teams save %

 

[ru4reals]

Grans with his first professional North American goal. JAD and Tkachev with the assists. Two assist for each in the opening period. Reign was outplayed the whole period but has a two goal lead. Villalta has been pretty good.

 

[Jericho111091]

Is Moverare-Grans still a pairing? I like that as an idea, their styles could compliment each other well

 

[Mats26]

Pulling for Grans, he is still raw and a "project" but if he pans out we have a nice asset on our hands.

 

[ru4reals]

Dudas makes it 3-0 Ontario being outshot 21 to 5. LOL.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Villalta with a clutch save, ontario comes back and Dudas scores, from wagner and sutter

announcers moaning about the shot differentials when ti's clear as day what's happening

 

[Mats26]

Turcotte!! 4-0

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Few minutes after wagner and turcotte pk 2v4 in the offensive zone not letting bako out

Turcotte feeds Frk for a clean shot, turcotte finishes the rebound cleanly out of the air.

 

[ru4reals]

Turcotte now makes it 4-0. Frk and Burke with the assist. Batted the puck mid air.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

More people need to watch Ontario, there would be ZERO worries about Turcotte, other than that you want him to put on 30 pounds so he can go right through people the way you see he wants to.

Think Danault with better hands. The ice is completely tilted anytime he's out there.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Grans just broke a forecheckers ankles

 

[Jericho111091]

More like Huge Glans!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Tkachev's unwillingness to shoot undercuts his effectiveness as a playmaker

 

[ru4reals]

And JAD makes it 5-0 on the powerplay. 3 points.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Darn, it appears normal Matt Villalta is back
