  1. Sorry to hear Archi coming back to Utica. It will be a treat for Utica fans to see him back here. Thought he did pretty good in Vancouver. He will definitely see some quality ice time down here in Utica. He was a instant fan favorite here. He plays with a lot of fire and determination.....just what these guys down here need more of. He will help the goaltenders big time too, crease will be cleared out more now. He will be back in Vancouver soon. Hopefully the Comets can rack up some points while he's here. Either way, it will be good to have some NHL experience leading this team.
  2. In the mean time...we still have hockey. By the way, Comets losing to Toronto 5-2, just starting the 3rd
  3. Your right about Sestito, the point I was trying to make is that the Comets can use a "gritty, in your face player" like him, right now. If he isn't going to play regularly in Vancouver, then he may as well keep his skills sharpened, down here. The boys in Utica could really learn a lesson from him. We need a spark to light a fire within these guys. They are so close to turning their season around. Ultimately, what we don't want to see here in Utica, is a team that continues to struggle, while the "tools" they need to do the job, are sitting, and not playing, in Vancouver. It doesn't help either, that we are 3 time zones away. We can't help the travel part but, a little better planning can solve this. We know it's all about player development down here, but, eventually, wouldn't Vancouver want a winning product down here too?
  4. I'm not one that likes to see any player(s) get sent down. But, if ever there was a chance to jump start a struggling team, the time is now. I would love to see Dalpe, Sestito and Archibald in Utica. If they need time to "develop", it may as well be now. I like what I saw from Dalpe while he was here. Archibald became a fan favorite, overnight, because of his enthusiasm for this city. Sestito, a gritty, in your face player that will push forwards out from in front of the crease. Just what we need down here at this time. I'm no hockey expert, but I think that what Utica needs, Vancouver has. These guys will add fire to a team that is searching for something. If the playing time will be minimal, then at least get them producing down here while sharpening their skills for the Canucks.
  5. Utica Comets face book page is posting some great game recaps, photos and stories of the Comets. Good read for those of you interested in the AHL prospects.
  6. Great job with this idea. If you need any information from down here "on the farm", let me know. Be more than happy to provide you with info on the Comets. Looking forward to reading this post throughout the year.
