And I won't even get into the slew of garbage Johnson signed for depth that are stuck in the ECHL until they decide to get real jobs.. The team is very poorly constructed and has had the same problems in their lineup for 3 seasons. No matter.. eventually the Canucks fans will figure it out as these young prospects wallowing mediocrity which eventually will flow all the way to Vancouver. The Canucks will be a sub 500 team for years........ Man you are so salty. Your negativity around here has risen to the level of troll. If the canucks suck, and the comets suck, and you don't get along with any one here why do you keep coming back? There's lots of other internet for you to get your jollies. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seriously looked at the comets roster?? Sorry if some people are super sensitive and can not handle the truth....... We are not gonna tell you how great management has been due to the fact that the comets have been mismanaged since Henning was canned.......

When he came back he wasn't very noticeable and then was scratched the last couple of games in favor of Gadjovich. The following quote from Cull today wasn't specific to Lind but it does apply to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hate inept management whom year after year fail to address obvious problems with their AHL team and then run around telling everyone that will listen about how great of job they are doing in Utica. We are not stupid..... We can see the inept management in Vancouver all the way across the country!!!!! Best thing to do with BG is don't respond..... He can be a hand full but he sure isn't gonna sugar coat what he is seeing...... Jim Benning and his staff inherited a zero depth organization. They organization, inclusive of the Comets, is now ranked in the top 5 to 10 by just about anyone with knowledge in the game. They had ZERO defensive prospects and now at least have made progress. They have to be careful on the AHL veteran roster rule but the injection of young talent is a key to the overall organization's growth but it can mean some long nights in the A. If you want to moan and groan about the AHL team being iced, take it up with the former management group. If you want to judge Benning and his team, then give it a few more seasons as that is how long it takes to build starting from essentially ground zero. Of course you can simply just keep ranting and raging - no sense letting facts get in the way. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Didn't the Comets make the Calder Cup finals just a few years ago? And didn't they make the playoffs just last season? There may be some issues, as there are with any team, but it hardly seems like the Comets are being run into the ground my any stretch of the imagination. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The Comets are in a developmental league. Sometimes things/players take time to develop. These young players need ice time. Thats just how this works. Give Benning another draft or two and a couple of years for players to develop and I think Comets and Canucks fans will be pleased.

TomatoPieFan Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 By Ben Birnell Posted Dec 11, 2018 at 5:54 PM Updated Dec 11, 2018 at 8:09 PM UTICA – Colton Saucerman hasn’t appeared in a game with the Comets, but there’s already a buzz around the defenseman. It helps when you have a name fit for hockey, but that’s not all. It is Saucerman’s majestic, flowing reddish-brown beard that reached far below the neckline of his black Utica Comets practice jersey Tuesday that has easily grabbed the most attention. “Hopefully, I can live up to the name and the beard,” Saucerman said with a smile. The addition of the 26-year-old Saucerman – who has played with eight teams between the ECHL and American Hockey League after a four-year career at Northeastern University ended in 2016 – on a professional tryout contact has generated a tremendous amount of interest on social media over the past few days. “My phone was going off last night in the airport,” Saucerman said after his first practice with the Comets on Tuesday. “I was reading some of it and it is pretty hilarious.” Intrigue surrounding Saucerman — whose nickname is “Sauce” — has appeared on more than a few popular websites and blogs as well as on Twitter. That includes a post from ESPN personality and hockey enthusiast John Buccigross on Tuesday. The beard reflects the 5-foot-9, 194-pound Saucerman’s demeanor: full, refined and jovial. It has also helped keep him from “a lot of face work” as pucks and sticks “seem to glance off it,” he said. “It takes about eight months to get the length and it is maintenance after that,” said Saucerman, who had to shave it for Toronto camp last year. “An ice cream cone is pretty tough (to eat). ... Burgers and hot dogs and stuff like that are just a mess.” There are nicknames, of course. Saucerman said Yukon Cornelius, the character from the movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is popular around the holidays. He’s also drawn comparisons to Game of Thrones’ character Tormund Giantsbane, who sports a similar look. For Halloween, the beard helped Saucerman pull off an uncanny resemblance to Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty. “It was a pretty good costume, I must say,” he said. Saucerman – who played against Thatcher Demko and Tanner MacMaster in college and with current Utica forward Tony Cameranesi at ECHL Manchester – appeared to be an instant hit with the Comets. “I really enjoy it,” veteran Jaime Sifers said. “I was texting with one of his old teammates last night who saw he was coming here. He said he was a great guy and obviously has an awesome beard.” Saucerman joins the Comets (12-13-1-1, tied for 4th in the North Division) at a time when they’re without injured defensemen Jalen Chatfield, Olli Juolevi, Ashton Sautner and Dylan Blujus (day-to-day). Comets coach Trent Cull said he doesn’t know a lot about Saucerman, but hopes he can step in and “play big minutes.” Saucerman showed off a solid shot Tuesday among his skills. “I try to be productive every shift I’m out there,” he said. “Being a smaller guy, I don’t shy away from contact. I try to be offensive and jump into the play and get my shots through. I definitely take care of my (defensive) zone. Obviously, that’s first and foremost. ... I think you’re going to notice me every shift I’m out there.” Saucerman comes to Utica after playing 10 ECHL games with Idaho, where he had three goals and five assists. In 12 games with ECHL Manchester, he had a goal and three assists. Among Colton Saucerman’s greatest achievements: He dressed up as@GrittyNHL and it is incredible.

Also participating in red no-contact jerseys were forward Wacey Hamilton (concussion; hasn’t played this season) and Juolevi (knee; out since Nov. 17). Cull said the team will continue to monitor each player’s progress. Forward Brendan Woods, who didn’t play Saturday, is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Injuries limited him to 14 games last season. Contact reporter Ben Birnell at 315-792-5032 or follow him on Twitter (@OD_Birnell). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
