Hoglander needs line mates that can score

Horvat’s production is fine but he’s streaky and he’s not good at distributing the puck as a center.

Green's line blender the other night I stopped watching half way through the first.

I would have tried swapping Hoglander and Boeser.

Miller Petey Hoglander
Pearson Horvart Boeser

I won't dive into how (frank)en much I hate the Canucks bottom 6 and everyone of them should be traded because of how Green uses them except for Motte and Zac Mac.

Are you watching the Comets or just following. I know it is 2-2

Watching. AHL is really missing those taxi squad players this season. The hockey is better than what most of the players came from in the NCAA and CHL leagues but definitely missing top line AHL career AHL studs.

That's understandable. Rathbone looked good in preseason so he should be very good on the farm.

He looks a little rusty tonight as expected

His first game but he looks like the way OJ did in Utica that even though it wasn't spectacular looking all the time, he is still skill wise and hockey IQ above the other defenders.

OJ has sure made strides.

I'm not going to watch the 3rd. It's up to you now.

I was shocked to see his style. I always new he was smart but in the return to play in his seven minutes he made a really nice hit and a very nice pass. I thought who is that guy he never hit


I think he is going to be very good.

Gadjovich just made it 3-2 . Sven and Lind with the As

Teves just makes it 4-2

5-2 Arsenault

So who got canned at 4 pm?

I’m feeling generous, how about we start a new thread bet on wether Benning is the gm to start next season. My money’s on no.

Sven just scored and then so did Gadjovich .Raathbone assisted both . 3 assists for JR

7-2

Really love for Gadjovich to end up being a useful 4th liner.

He is playing in a watered down league , but he can only play the hand he is dealt. He is a big boy.

Cull just gave Rathbone nice praises. He said 'He walks the line better than anyone he has seen play. "

Anyone think Rob Blake would settle for a bit older "dynamic" left shot defencemen in Nate Schmidt for say a 2nd and a 2nd in 2022?

Did nothing happen at 4?

Goals came so fast and furious that the Utica twitter page hasn't even posted a 3rd period goal yet.
