stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Still no score midway through the second. Albany's somehow missed two wide open nets, and Demko made some great saves on the PK. Hamilton has had the best chance for the Comets so far after Bancks lobbed an aerial pass to him for a breakaway out of the box. Eight minutes to go.

Beary Sweet Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Still both teams locked in a defensive battle and scoreless between Utica and Albany. Albany now out shooting the Comets 18-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The division is wide open imo and it's in for the taking. Here's hoping they sweep another weekend series again! Go Comets! thanks,bro!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Still no score at the end of two, shots are 18-16 for the Devils who controlled the bulk of that period. Demko has been fantastic again and has been forced to stop several shots from close range, and got lucky on a couple of Devils' whiffs. Zalewski has probably been the best Comets forward and has been active at both ends of the ice; McEneny has had another decent game and made a great play late to break up a rush by Wolfe and force him around the net for a wrap-around. Subban looks too eager to jump the zone at times and join the rush and its left him out of position on a few occasions, but nothing has come back to bite the Comets just yet. Carcone has had a buzz to his game again and got off a nice one-time chance from the circle late in the period off of a Zalewski feed. Elsewhere, Wilkes-Barre leads Syracuse 4-1 in the second and Binghamton leads Toronto 1-0 after one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Rendulic isn't available, Virtanen could be a nice fit alongside Carcone and Pelletier. Zalewski is one of those guys that can play anywhere in the lineup so moving him probably wouldn't be much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was out last game due to being a scratch but is he now nursing an injury perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Green's said is that he's day to day with an upper body injury... which is a shame cause he was playing his best hockey of the season until this.

stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Virtanen just got robbed by Blackwood after being set up by Cassels on a 3-on-1. Now he takes a slashing penalty and the Comets head to the kill, still scoreless early in the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 After a ton of pressure by Albany on the powerplay, Bancks shakes free for a breakaway and draws a penalty shot - which he scores on! 1-0 Comets, four minutes into the third. That was some fantastic goaltending by Demko again to keep the Devils at bay on the PK by the way. He flat out stole a goal away from Novak on a bang-bang play deep in the right circle.

Beary Sweet Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Looks like Green listened you both @stawns and @stonecoldstevebernier. Jake was with Pelletier and Carcone in the last few seconds of our last PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great defensive play by Subban to check Gazdic closely and neutralize a 3-on-2, then to knock Gazdic over in front of the net so he couldn't get a clean shot on a rebound from the point. Obviously he's not the greatest offensive threat but that's a big size mismatch. Just over three minutes to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The Devils tie it up with 24 seconds to play... MacDonald with a shot from the point that makes its way through a cluster of bodies and beats Demko. That was a 6-on-4 goal after Albany had pulled Blackwood and gotten a powerplay. This one's heading to overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 They were so close to giving Albany nothing. Oh well, get the 2 points. It looks like Syracuse is gonna lose. Toronto looks like they'll win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
