  1. Yeah - think they are missing Gaudette? Their #1 penalty killer
  2. We will likely see when EP returns - will Sutter drop to the 4th, as a purely checking center, leaving Gaudette between Rouselle and Jake, or will they ask Adam to be that checking center (or leave Granny there if he does well in the interim) It certainly is great to have enough depth now to offer different options to Green
  3. Maybe even as part of the 1 - 2 punch. ....... Pettersson centering the first line, and Gaudy the second, with Bo as the swing center - Bo can be put out to shut down the other top line, or against the 4th to generate offence, plus PP and PK duty - much like Sutter but younger, with more speed and a better shot.
  4. He centered Utica's top line with Boucher and Archie, was on the 1st PK unit as well as 1st PP, so was being groomed for an impact center role, not a checking role (Didn't intend to demean checking centers. - they can have an impact too !!!)
  5. Chatfield has looked really good with Ollie so far this season - been Utuca's #1 pairing (Except OJ is -7 and Jalen -3 after 5 games, but in Ollie's case it is the 4 shorties that contribute to his dismal number)
  6. Good write up on the weekend by CanucksArmy: https://canucksarmy.com/2018/10/14/canucksarmy-utica-comets-post-game-comets-down-marlies-5-3-to-take-back-to-back-games-in-toronto/
  7. Hockeydb now showing him at 7 points in 18 games, and a plus 8
  8. Our very own Bruce Boudreau (141 NHL games, 634 AHL games, with 70 NHL points and over 700 AHL points)
  9. 6 - 1 at end of second. Another shortie from TO. - what's with all the Utica shorthanded goals against??
  10. OJ and Breezer looking good on defense - most noticeable forwards have been Boucher, Archie and Gaudette.
  11. Gaudette was one of the more noticeable Comets in their 7 - 3 loss to the Marlies last evening. As the play by play man said "he is a man on a mission to collect his first professional goal". (He didn't, Boucher had 2)
  12. Cup half full worst case scenario: Quinn doesn't sign by 2019 draft day, and Jack gets picked by, say, Detroit. Signs. Quinn elects to do his 3rd year at college, then as an UFA signs to play with his brother in Detroit. Uurrgghh !! (Paranoid much ?)
  13. No. Would be a waste of asets for a 3rd line center to play behind Pettersson and Horvat
  14. The #40 implying 40 goals, or 40 assists (or both? - this is probably his personal objective for his rookie season)
  15. Palmu makes the lineup before Christmas - scores 2 goals in first game
  16. Help propel - big difference. I think having Pettersson will propel us, though. If these lads are 1/2 as good as the ones I saw on first coming to Canada, I will be thrilled ..... Pettersson. - Gretzky Horvat - Messier Boesser. - Kurri Virtanen. - Anderson Dahlen - Hughes Sutter - Linseman Hughes. - Coffey Edler. - Lowe Gudbranson - Huddy Demko - Fuhr Etc In my dreams, I know, but still ..................
