2019-20 Utica Comets Thread


Recommended Posts

Their defense is pretty special this year.   Just looking at the 6 deployed today, any one wouldn't look out of place on most NHL teams, and even Blujus, who sat, isn't too shabby either. Teves and Rafferty just look so calm and poised, rarely seem under any pressure, and Beezer and OJ can really skate the puck out

This game was a tale of Comets defense and Mikey.  Bears controlled play majority of the game.  Probably should have been a 4-1 lose except the play of Mikey, #1 Star tonight. Hersey fans actually applauded when they called his star.  Classy gesture from their fans.

 

Toronto lost to Binghamton so Comets sole undefeated team in the AHL and sit #1.

Is Mikey ready for the big club next season?  Do we trade Demko at the draft?  Maybe Mikey is our Cup winning goalie?  He’s our only goalie to win anything right?

Calm down Alf, too soon! :) 

 

Mikey is not close to being NHL ready, he will need two years for sure.

No, let the rookie AHL G marinate down there for a couple years, see what happens nearing the expansion draft and the decision upcoming with Markstrom ...what kind of $ and term the team is willing to give him. Keep Demko and lets watch him continue to develop. If he does it is a mistake to trade the younger NHL G if he is showing great signs of being the next #1 G

I'm curious: in retrospect, do you think we really needed to get BOTH Benn and Myers, could we have done well by sticking by the guys we already have, waiting a bit longer?  Rafferty and Juolevi in particular look capable of contributing significantly by March... and there is not a lot of room for them.
