Guy is ready for action!!!
It appears that Guy Dupuis will be back in the Komets lineup this weekend. Not a moment too soon. The powerplay has been woeful. Hopefully, Guy can get it back on track.
Lackluster Weekend
Last weekends games at the MC left a lot to be desired from a fan's point of view. Not much phyicality, not much in the way of fighting, and nothing in the win column. Statistically speaking, a few notes...
Shafranov goes for 2 assists and is a +2
Warner has two assists and is a -1
Chaulk has a goal and assist -2
Durdin had 0 points and is a -1
Aquinio had 1 goal and 1 assist, -1
Reiter stops 30 of 32
Boucher stops 18 of 22
The powerplay was 2/12 or 16%
Penalty Kill allowed 2 goals on 13 attemts 85%
With lots of talk of a veteran getting cut in the coming weeks, Shafranov appears to have stepped up his play, perhaps its just getting back into game shape. His passes look crisp and when used as an extra forward he seems to have more speed. The defense continues to struggle without Guy Dupuis. Durdin has yet to show the flare for scoring that was advertised. Kevin Bertram continues to play hard and physical. While his stats don't show anything in the way of scoring, he is showing a great deal of heart and hustle. Warner had a couple of assists and played average on defense. The Komets just don't have a strong scoring threat on defense.
Matt Reynolds could easily win the "Unsung Hero Award" at the end of the season. He does his job quietly and consistently.
What has to happen for Legault and Woods to get some more playing time? Woods supplies a lift when he hits the ice. Plugging him to each line in a period may get a spark going. Three shifts a period would satisfy the fans and might just help the team. Neither of these guys is a liability (see Jeff Worlton) when they are on the ice.
I'm not sure what to make of Coach Al Sims calling out some players after Saturdays game. Is he even calling out the right guys? There are a couple of veterans (other than the obviously lousy Marchant) that could use a kick in the pants to get going.
