2019-20 Utica Comets Thread


Recommended Posts

They are obviously missing Boucher and his goal scoring ability but this is where others in the lineup need to take the bull by the horns and take up the slack. Unfortunately Goldy seems to be more of a follower than a leader. If he is not able to crank it up when the team is under a bit of adversity; then his chances of ever playing again in the NHL are waning rapidly.

Wait until the highlights are released. Both goalies came up big to keep the scoring to 2-1.  A knuckle ball slapshot from beyond the blue line got past Mikey for the first goal then the second was a tick tack toe PP goal with two Crunch on both sides of the crease and not a Comet in sight. Overall the Comets did not play bad in this game, again, just could not bury the puck when afforded opportunities, even on two breakaways.

 

IMO, Goldy's individual puck handling skills are dazzling at the AHL level.  He can single handedly enter their zone through half an opposing team but then he either keeps it one move too many, usually because no one else around, or the pass is intercepted.  He does not take many shots on net and just seems to wander around and not get into the scrap.

 

As mentioned above, others need to step up because Boucher's production is lacking.  The Comets have lost their last three games by 1 goal (not including EN).

Boucher has been injured.  His production hasn't dropped off, he just hasn't been in the line up the last few games. :)

He was saying that the team is missing the lack of production caused by Boucher's absence from the lineup.

Some HFdirtbag has been whining for about 2 or 3 seasons

 

Oooohh..mm, wahh,oohh, OHHComets got no centers..waaahhhh..JB..oohh..umm..waaaahhhhh

 

Can't even read that freeken page anymore. Used to be a good place to keep up on the latest. & of course this team with "NO CENTERS!" is now about 10 & 5.

That in a town that finally got a Friggen team, could refurbish their rink, etc...

 

HF is such a whining cesspool. Smells like an outhouse.

Yeah...that is prob old goalie...that dummie comet fan thinks he knows more than all the Utica coaches.  What a moron.

 

Edit: it seems most NORMAL Utica fans love their team. But that waste of air ruins it for everyone and makes us really want to move the team to the Lower Mainland. Not the best idea...but a good one to spite that online schmuck oldgoof lol.

 

That dummie even has the audacity to type "I harped all summer long on the need for the acquisition of centres." Does that idiot know that no one cares what he thinks? Haha...he seems to think JB gives a Sh&%.
