Comets keep finding ways to win, what a start. Wow. 

I have no new information or great insights. I just want to give a shout-out to the Comets great start.

 

The Comets of course lead the AHL in winning percentage with a perfect 8 wins in 8 games so far. They also lead the AHL in goals scored AND is fewest goals allowed. So of course they have a big lead in goal differential. And many people, including me, take the goal differential stat as the best indicator of team quality.

 

After all the heat Trent Cull took as coach last year this is a nice turnaround for him.

 

But the best part is that a big part of the success comes from prospects -- or at least from guys who are likely to play on the Canucks at some point in the future.

 

Lind has really turned things around, DiPietro looks great, Juolevi and Jasek are off to good starts, and some of the older prospects like Rafferty (who leads the AHL in plus/minus) and Peron look good.  Baertschi and Goldy are a big of the story of course. They are no longer propsects but they could both help the Canucks before this year is over, especially Baertschi.   

 

Career AHLers (like Boucher) are only a small part of the story this year. 

 

So congrats to the Comets for a great start. Hope they can keep it going.

Utica vs. Providence tonight @ 4:00  AHL TV or Krock is the radio station that covers the games (you can listen over the interweb) of Utica and the Crunch.  Then, Ducks/Canucks at 7:00.  A good night of hockey to enjoy. :towel:

 

PS - Same for tomorrow as Utica plays the Americans tomorrow as well.

Providence makes it 2 - 0 as Mikey collides with Juolevi at the side of the net leaving a wraparound opportunity 

 

First time this season that Comets have trailed by more than 1 goal
