Game 4 5/17/22 Utica @ Rochester 7:05 pm - AHLTV (you should be going but I digress)

[PromoTheRobot]

Anyone else getting a "game not started" message on AHL TV?  The SYR/LAV game is on.

Never mind. Feed started seconds before face off.

[North Buffalo]

Go Merks

[inkman]

Prow barfs all over himself with the puck, turning it over leading to a 3-1.  Comets 1-0. 

[pastajoe]

Cripes, dicking around in their own end instead of clearing it. 1-0 Utica.

[DarthEbriate]

Grumble grumble.  Go get it back!

[pastajoe]

Amerks do better when they’re playing with speed instead of slowly moving up ice.

[sabresparaavida]

Amerks outshot 13-6 in the first

[inkman]

In a weird series of events, an Amerk’s shot knocks the strap off Comet goalies mask.  He knocks off the mask because it’s not affixed on his head, gets 2 minute unsportsmanlike.  

[DarthEbriate]

A skater removes his own helmet... he has to put it back on or immediately leave the ice/get a new one from the bench. But for goalies... just a whistle or in this case: a penalty.

[inkman]

2-0 bad guys 

[pastajoe]

Utica wants it more.

[Crusader1969]

Hate the PP1a 1b setup. 
 

put your 5 best players on PP1 and let them stay out there for a minute and a half

Also, time to put Quinn JJ and Krebs on 1 line 

[inkman]

Quinn with about as weak a play as you can make in front of your own net.

3-0 Comets

Quinn has been useless in the playoffs.

I wish someone took out Greer  like they did to Mersch.

Alt had all day to clear the zone and he lets it roll off his stick...and a Utica goal.

Comets score on the 5-3 PP after Krebs puts hand on the puck in the faceoff dot

Exactly why you have to change things up 

[DarthEbriate]

Yikes. Amerks didn't show up to the home ice opportunity to close out the series....

[Turbo44]

Rochester getting badly misplayed but refs bad again. 2-0 Utica and Amerk guying literally tackled going to the net to get a pass. Right in front of ref who ignores it and Utica takes over and scores 15 seconds later. Same ref then calls a much less blatant hook on Rochester 20 seconds later. 4-0 Utica game over

[pastajoe]

May as well put Houser in and rest Dell for game 5.

[pastajoe]

Attendance 8,791.

Not good losing Fitz for 5 minutes.

They should put Samuelsson out for game 5 even if he’s on a sled.

Is there any other team, in the history of hockey, that doesn’t  put their top 2 offensive players on the top PP unit ?

Quinn is so snake-bitten he may need anti-venom

Peterka and Krebs are out together.

[pastajoe]

Laval tied their game with Syracuse with 9 seconds left, 2-2. Game 5 going to OT.
