The_People1 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 So what have the line combinations been early on in the season? Who is Backlund playing with and what are the D-pairings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 David Shantz and JD Watt were recalled from Utah for last nights game, and promptly made the most of their debut. Also the first game of the year for Pete Vandermeer. Four players were ejected in the first, including Chucko and Carpentier. http://www.abbotsfordheat.com/News/HEATROLLMARLIES53/HEATROLLMARLIES53 The article states that Watt played on the top line with Van der Gulik and Jaffray for the second and third, no mention of who he replaced. http://theahl.com/stats/official-game-report.php?game_id=1006149 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Abbotsford hits the road tonite for a six-game trip, the start of it will be three-games-in-three-days. Six total games in 10 days, this is the first big test of their season. In fact, 16 of 26 are on the road till Christmas. We should see split time for Irving and Shantz this week, since Keetley is out with knee problems, suffered Oct 14 vs. Manitoba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Couple big losses by Abbotsford this weekend, downed by Grand Rapids (5-3 L) and Chicago (7-1 L). Back in action tomorrow (Sunday) vs. Grand Rapids again. Lets go boys! Back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, it was bound to happen sometime. After a much needed two days rest, the Heat took on the Milwaukee Admirals (Nashville) and got their first shutout of the franchise, 2-0. By all accounts, Irving was fantastic, goals by Chucko and Germyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksThis from the Abbotsford Times, Friday 10/23.http://www2.canada.com/abbotsfordtimes/news/sports/story.html?id=276bd1a3-f78e-43e6-8ccf-9c4644ef35af Watt was recalled from Utah of the ECHL around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday after Riley Armstrong went down with an injury to his lower body, and the rugged forward chipped in with a Gordie Howe hat trick despite any fatigue he may have felt in the win over the Marlies. Armstrong was seen in the Heat locker-room in a suit and walking on crutches and will be re-evaluated by today, as well as Keetley, said head coach Jim Playfair.

cannedice99 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 The Heat just finished their second thre-games-in-three-nights on the road stretch, going 1-2. Irving was less than spectacular, losing the first 4-1, then was pulled after four goals in the third game, and picking up the 6-3 loss. The bright spot here the goalie David Shantz, who got his first shutout of the year, 6-0 over Peoria, and looks like a great free agent signing. http://www.abbotsfordheat.com/News/HOGSDOUBLEHEAT63/HOGSDOUBLEHEAT63'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I just watched a couple periods of the last couple of games... Boy, do the Heat suck. This is especially evident in the defensive zone where they are so prone to getting stuck for entire shifts at a time. The breakout is the worst stuff i've ever seen and constantly either turning the puck over or passing back until even the last man is just passing it hard around the boards to a prayer. Once in the offensive zone, magic happens but it's just a quick flash and it's gone. They rarely sustain pressure and maintain cycle. They enter the zone, do a quick pass, quick shot, then its out the zone and trapped in their end the rest of the shift. This team is so slow especially on the blueline. Pelech, Kronvall, and Aulie have cement skates. Backlund needs better linemates to play with. He's such a passive player it's disappointing. He needs a linemate who is willing to do all the dirty work along the boards to get him the puck. He needs a sniper on his line to finish for him. He has good open ice stick handling and the vision is there but he just seems to be lacking enthusiasm and effort. Plus, while Backlund is good at weaving around and buying time, his linemates just aren't at the same level of offensive mindset as him and can't read him. If the Flames are committed to developing Backlund into a first line player, then they must commit to play him with Jaffray at all times. Stop giving Backlund Sutter, Germyn, Chucko, and others who just don't have what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrell Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey there looking to find out the condition of Carsen Germayn,he did hot play the last two games at home here.Wondering if he is injured or not.There is no place on the team website with any info. Thanks Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 This is from Heat Central ( http://www.bclocalnews.com/fraser_valley/abbynews/sports/heat/'> ), which is way better than abbotsfordheat.com: "Abbotsford winger Carsen Germyn sat out both games against Rochester with an upper body injury that O'Rourke termed "day-to-day." He joins David Van der Gulik (ankle), Gord Baldwin (shoulder) and Brett Palin (shoulder) in the infirmary." This was listed as a note after the 2-1 loss to Rochester.

Demonous_Xodus Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Alright, so I'll be watching the Heat play Rochester tonight. I'll have my summary per period, as well as live scoring. Go Heat Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonous_Xodus Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 1-0 Heat. Brett Sutter from John Armstrong. 1) Armstrong was strong on the puck, fought off a guy and took it right to the net and tried to cross-crease it to Backlund. Backlund was in great position and Armstrong forechecked his a$$ off. 2) Sutter came in perfectly in front of the net. Good rebound goal. Keetley's in net and rocking my socks off. Hes made two good saves so far. Make that three great saves. And I know Peeps said that Backlund was having difficulty finding someone to play with, but Armstrong - Backlund - Sutter are playing excellent.
