[Bad Goalie]

Comets kill that one.
Comets get the 4-3 lead on the Devils PP.

 

[Bad Goalie]

If I'm the coach, Kielly has seen his last game for a while.

Have to knock the D as well, Gilles used the same D and was outstanding. There was exactly one week since the last game and Kielly was the goat in that 6-1 loss. Rotate your #1 back into the fray.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets back to the PP.

 

[NuxFan09]

Comets powerplay coming. Will Lind get the PP hattrick??

Ugly PP so far. Comets can't even get setup.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Shot down the ice as Lind loses the draw.

Back in and right back out.

Stopped at the line.

Back in and shot back out. Have not even entered the zone.

Now Bingo called for tripping.

As in the past the draw is key here with a 48 second 2 on 1.

Nolan Stevens wins it but the pass back ends up in the Comets bench.

 

[NuxFan09]

Wow....what just happened?

 

[Bad Goalie]

Stevens win the draw. Lots of action but no serious challenge.

5 0n 4.

Now Baertschi goes for slashing.

4 on 4 .

That was quick. LD Okhotiuk walks off the boards deep and as he skates towards the net parallel to the goal line wrists a shot past Kielly short side.

4-4 score.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Now Bingo to a reduced PP.

Killed it.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Tucker has tried to carry the puck up ice several times and has turned it over in the neutral zone leading most of those times to getting caught up ice as Bingo brings the puck into the Utica zone with Tucker chasing. He is no Rafferty as far as a puck rushing D-man. Needs to head man the puck and then maybe join the rush. Simple things first young rookie. He has been playing well in his own end.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Russian Nikita Okhotiuk, 6'1" 198 lb D-man, was a 2019 2nd round selection by Jersey. He is a rookie fresh out of 2 years with the Ottawa 76ers. He looks like a good one. He's physical and has a good shot. Good looking newbie.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Something that you dont see Canucks media/twitter talking about nearly enough. It makes such a difference for developing prospects

That it does my friend. That it does.

 

[Bad Goalie]

2nd period is over and it's 4-4.

20 minutes or more to go. The Devils have gone to OT in both of their games this season.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Here we go.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Jasek has the angle and still tries to stick check and is walked in the neutral zone. Have to play the body.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Lockwood with some good work on the forecheck.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets back to the PK after sloppy work in their own zone.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Big blast wide, shot down the ice.

Shot down again.

Stopped on the entry.

Woo rides a guy off the puck behind the net and the Comets shoot it out.

After a corner battle the Comets shoot it out again.

Lockwood works the boards all the way up the ice and the Comets kill it.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Farther into the period and a 3 on 2 rush for Bingo. Lockwood sprinting to catch up and the cross ice pass to the open LW is knocked off the Devil as Lockwood caught up and disrupted the play on the edge of the circle down low. That's a backcheck!

 

[NuxFan09]

Weak goal on Dell but the Comets will take it. Nolan Stevens gets the goal in tight.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets G--------O-------A-------L

Nolan Stevens working in off the LW and has Jasek standing at the back door. He gets in real close and beats Dell himself using Jasek as the decoy.

5-4 Comets.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Martel and Eliot clashing. Both get 2 for Roughing. Martel yapping at the box door.
In the box standing and still yapping at Eliot.

4 on 4.

 

[Bad Goalie]

We've got 10:07 to go and this one is far from settled. Both sides giving up lots of chances.

 

[Bad Goalie]

5 on 5

 

[Bad Goalie]

Comets allow the Devils access to their net front way too often. Like I said, the D overall is not that good.

 

[Bad Goalie]

TV TO
8:14 to go.
