(I know TOR wouldn't do this because Matthews is their guy and they'd look like fools trying to trade him, but just curious) I wouldn't make the trade I'm sorry this is the silliest thing Iv read all day.

No way would the Canucks trade their super duper star for a guy who fizzles out in the playoffs. Pettersson makes his linemates better. Matthews seems to drag down his line. And the Leafs are going to pay that guy McDavid dollars! Not a chance we trade Pettersson for him. Zero ... notta ... no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus over there (HFBoards) is that all Utica management connected to the Canucks front office is trash and that Vancouver has been pretty much a useless caretaker since Henning left the picture. Anything good that happens with the Comets is credited to Esche and the AHL front office. It's a shame too. I've scanned those boards for a while now. Used to be respectful & appreciative. Got an AHL team again, & upgrades to their famous barn. Last yr or two, seems like perpetual whining of a presumptuous, noisy teen. Canucks had to build from(basically) scorched earth, encountering a few injury-riddled seasons along the way. Yet the Comets played hard(with what they had), even making a Finals run. Had plenty of moments to enjoy! So they're entitled(?) to slag on the franchise-hierarchy? Lucky they got a new team in the freeken first place!

Zero ... notta ... no way. Also wouldn't trade him for McDavid himself. Forget fizzling out in the playoffs, McDavid couldn't even get to the playoffs this year. I remember it was only a short time ago people were trashing Benning for the pick. Amazing how things can change so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Comets going into Game 4 vs Toronto at 4:00 pst, looking to tie the series up and force a Game 5.

MacMaster-Chaput-MacEwen Boucher-Darcy-Goldobin Dahlen-Hamilton-Carcone Motte-Cassels-Bancks Wiercioch-Chatfield Sautner-Blujus Brisebois-Sifers Good news for the Comets: no players have joined the Marlies yet.

If it doesn't make it to Game 5, then the Marlies can rest those guys up a bit for the next round. Curious if maybe those players are in consideration for their countries for the World Championships though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Comets score!!! Boucher opens the scoring after a pretty passing play from Darcy and Goldobin. Great patience by Goldobin at the blueline to thread it through the middle to Darcy who dropped it back to Boucher for the snipe... 1-0 Utica early.

stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Utica comes out of period one with a 1-0 lead off of Boucher's early goal, shots are 12-7 for Toronto. Was 7-7 for quite a while after a stretch of quiet play in the latter half of the period before Toronto applied some late pressure with a series of possessions in the Utica zone. Demko's been especially sharp, showing good rebound control so far, either covering shots or deflecting them out of danger. Boucher-Darcy-Goldobin came out with a very fast start; aside from the goal, Goldobin had a good chance on the PP with a knuckler that Sparks fought off, and then a breakaway later on splitting the defense from the blueline in. He and Boucher have that chemistry they showcased in the regular season cooking again. Chaput took a couple shifts in Darcy's place later in the period. Dahlen had a couple shaky moments handling the puck on the PP, coughing it up twice, but recovered nicely to break up a shorthanded bid the other way. Comets defense as a whole has been good at limiting second chance opportunities and recovering shots in their own zone but had difficulty coming up with any way to get the puck back in the last couple minutes of that frame. Good discipline so far, no penalties taken by Utica in the initial frame which has been a problem early in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some hard financial times I recall watching a mini doc on it. The Utica Comets really helped inspire hope and confidence in their community. You can see their passion and dedication to this team even when players are constantly changing. Aside from the long travel for our kids to come up its the perfect incubator. As nice as it would be to have the Comets in BC lets face it the building would be half empty most nights if the team wasn't excelling. This team brings that community together and this ladies smile makes me happy our organization could unite their community like that. They give it there all for the team that gave them so much.
