2016-17 Utica Comets Thread


Recommended Posts

If Virtanen is stronger along the boards on the right side but is more dangerous offensively on the left side, then he needs to find a way to cross the offensive zone at the pro level to give him that angle/edge. ie. play less of a north-south game in the offensive zone and start crossing over to find more offensive opportunities. I believe this is something that Horvat also had to develop.

I saw half a dozen hits on the left side of the ice. In the clip that YOU provided. And you claim that you only saw one. One of us is lying. And it's not me. Yeah, I guess you've spent enough time on this, when the evidence that you provided doesn't back you up, so you need to lie to support an insupportable position.

I said they looked like he crossed over. Have you nothing better to obsess on? He played RW after the WJC and played well, since then Green has played him on the left, as for the rest, that's your little project and I don't really care. Nice to know you counted them through I have more to do with my time so I only watched half the video :lol:

Thatcher Demko with a special set of gear that will go with special jerseys this Saturday.  Half of the jerseys will be raffled off and the other half plus Demko's gear will be auctioned off after the game with the proceeds going to the Thea Bowman House charity in Utica.  

 

Demko's gear and the new jerseys are sick looking.

Not bad at all! Any word on a mask to match, or will it just be his pads/blocker/glove?

 

EDIT:

And there it is.

I recalled one hit because I don't follow Junior hockey and the hit was posted on here - I based my opinion on last season. However the video is quite clear. Thanks for coming out.

I actually don't give a ff where he plays as long as he is back to how he was last season after the WJC.  - Fit, checking, hitting and scoring points.

 

Take your gripe up with Green if it bothers you that much.

Wow dude, you blind?

Tough loss tonight for the Comets vs the Thunderbirds 2-1 in OT. Pelletier scored the lone goal for the Comets with Robak and Zalewski getting the apples. Bachman stood tall for the most part and he had absolutely no chance on stopping the GWG making 22 saves. Jake continues to play well and he seems to be working hard but didn't watch the whole game other than the last half of the 3rd + OT so I can't say how he did.. He got 2 shots off and it's only a matter of time till he hits the scoresheet on a consistent basis. Hope the Comets bounce back Friday vs Wilkes Barre. Go Comets!

Green won't be caring about that. He needs Ws to keep his job like WD. If Bachman gives him the best chance he's going to get the start whenever he can. I kinda understand his logic as well as yours but there's no DEMKO in TEAM if you catch my drift.

I understand all of that..but its been 2 weeks and its not like Demko is a sieve..he has played as well or better than Bachman all year. I understand riding the hot hand as well..but its time to get Demko in now...and Im sure he will be.

Let's not forget he was sick for some of that too.
