dlbalr Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The IceCaps (this is going to take some getting used to) begin their preseason tonight in the first of three games in four nights against the Toronto Marlies as they battle for the Coleman Cup. Rather than make a separate GDT for each, we'll use this for the mini-series. St. John's lineup: Scherbak - McCarron - Eisenschmid Bozon - Miceli - Gregoire Crisp - Watson - Fournier Blanchard - Wild - J. Brown Hanley - Ellis Bennett - Thrower T. Brown - Lernout Pasquale (Players in italics are on tryouts.) Puck drop is sometime around the time I finish typing out this sentence. AM 930 has the call. It's a little staticky.

dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 2-2 in the 3rd period, the IceCaps just tied it up. Goals for St. John's are from Gregoire and Ellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Toronto scores with 28 seconds left and that goal stood as the winner. The Marlies take Game 1 3-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Crappy start, but nice to see underrated Gregoire get one. Any idea how Bozon or Scherbak fared? Lernout, Thrower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I only listened to the first period and most of that was spent adjusting to the completely different commentary style of Brian Rogers. Bozon had a decent chance off the rush in the 1st I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Well not a 'super' start, but 1st pre-season game can chuck results out window, but Thrower and others must be quite keen on earning a spot 'on the rock' and not in Brampton. And curious if any might of stood out, one way or other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Some lineup changes for game 2: Carr - McCarron - Thomas Bozon - Dumont - Holloway Crisp - Miceli - Eisenschmid Blanchard - Watson - Fournier Bennett - Dietz Ellis - Lernout T. Brown - Thrower Pasquale is expected to start, no word on whether or not there will be a split with Fucale once again. Puck drop is probably 6 PM EST again.

DON Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Well, now I see that one of goals was on the PP, so went 1 for 2 which maybe is a good sign? Also Fucale played the 2nd half of game and Nikita chipped in with 1a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Fucale played the 2nd half of game and Nikita chipped in with 1a. I'm not going to get too excited about the PP just yet. The Leafs still have half the Marlies roster up with them; what they faced last night (and will tonight) is at best half an AHL team and a whack of ECHL guys/tryouts.

dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Fournier scores to open the scoring for the IceCaps. You know it's preseason when he gets a goal. Crisp gets the assist and then drops the gloves right after the ensuing faceoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Marlies tie it up. At some point in the near future, we might find out who actually got the goal. This is more or less how the goal was called: 'They take a shot, Pasquale makes the save but then they score. The Marlies tie it up at 8...............08 of the first period. (Papers rustling for several seconds) It's preseason for the broadcasters too, we're not quite sure who scored.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 "Bozon knocked out of game...at least temporarily" they noted. Must of got hit hard or something? Thrower tosses a big hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 45 seconds into 3rd, Crisp scores on nice shot, drop pass by Holloway 3-2 Caps. (Crisp gets "Gordie Howe hat-trick") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thrower is playing physical at least and Thomas is shooting a lot on net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 2-1 IceCaps in the first. Hanley (Holloway, Ellis) and Scherbak (Holloway) with the goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 2-2 after the first period. The first intermission interview is Nick Carriere, the new assistant coach. His comment when asked about him becoming an assistant? "It was right out of left field for me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Eisenschmid gets taken out by a "doggone ugly" hit by Brett Findlay of the Marlies. Fortunately he's okay. Findlay received a minor and suffice it to say, the PBP crew didn't agree with it just being a two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 McCarron dukes it out in a nothing fight. Eishersmid (sp?) run from behind, draws penalty and not hurt. Hollaway draws a penalty for a 5-on 3; what will 15-16 version do with this scoring opportunity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
