Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Utica lost a close one 4-3 against the Americans. A.J Greer with a hat trick. Zeterlund added another point. No Holtz again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Anyone else going to the game in Lehigh this Saturday? Decided to buy a couple tickets since their arena is about 50-60 minutes from my home. First time ever going to a Devils minor-league affiliate game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Too bad Greer isn’t a prospect…he’s notched 18 goals and 12 assists over his last 30 GP (including 10 points over his last three games). But he’s 25 and has done very little in limited appearances in the NHL. Utes win 5-3 tonight. No points for Holtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's probably just coincidence, but Holtz's Girlfriend finished a tour in Sweden recently and came over to the US on like the 18th of March or something. In the six games since then he has had 1 point. The previous 6 games he had 8 points. Get the feeling he might be expending some of his energies elsewhere...... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Utica loses 3-2 at Lehigh Valley (kinda glad that I didn’t go to this one). They were up 2-0 after one and 2-1 through two, before giving up two about a minute apart in the third (sounds familiar). Both of the Comets’ goals were on the power play…Tyce Thompson with a pair of goals and assists in two games since his return. Holtz had a secondary assist on the first PP goal. Comets now 5-5-1 in their last 11…they now have 11 games left in their season. The Marlies have four games in hand but Utica’s just too far ahead to think the division title is even close to being in danger. Now it’s just about the Utes trying to get back on a roll before the playoffs begin. They should have Daws back at least…he’s been good for them.

Athough he has only had limited games this season Thompson is putting up decent numbers. Gives me hope for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we’ve been over it…once you sift past Holtz and the AAAA-non prospects, there’s definitely some 3rd and 4th line candidates down there. Guys like Thompson will get their chances during preseason to stand out from the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Thompson will get their chances during preseason to stand out from the pack. Let's see how he gets on. Is this going to be a conditioning stint to ease him back in before he is is called back up. Or are they going to let his see out the AHL season. 1.22 P/G is strong, although not enough of a sample size at the moment. Still hoping he might progress to be that 2nd/3rd line winger who can be a force on the PK. Fill that Blake Coleman sort of role. It's a shame he hasn't got his brothers frame, guy is huge (6ft 7!!!). He is having an excellent year for Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Utica couldn’t pull out the win on Marty night. They lost 4-3 in OT. Holtz scored his 23rd goal of the season to tie it up late in the 3rd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Another tough loss for Utica tonight, falling 5-3 to the Rockets. They took an early 3-1 lead, before finishing the 1st tied at 3-3. Nate Schnarr, who was the player we dealt to acquire part time human statue part time NHL goaltender Andrew Hammond, got 2 assists to see off his old team. The positives? Holtz had a two point night. Goal and an assist. Again it's probably not related but his Mrs is now in California.... Anyway, the call ups are really hurting Utica. Such a shame.

I don't think it is worth the impact to Utica to call some of these guys up nor was dealing Schnarr for a guy that couldn't stop a beach ball.

Yea, but there are prob less productive options like Clarke and Gauthier vs taking Greer and Zetterlund who have been important to Utica. I guess it doesn't matter. I am not sure they could miss the playoffs at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side of things, I wonder if Fitz sends Utica any extra help for the playoffs once the Devils season is over? I’d imagine Ty Smith would be the main candidate, but maybe also guys like Mercer and Sharongovich? I really don’t know how the rules work with that.

Players had to be sent down by a certain date in march and be on the AHL roster to be eligible for the AHL playoffs. As far as I am aware the Devil's didn't do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though it’s nice if Utica wins, it’s always about the big club. What’s nice is those kids will find themselves back with Utica for the playoffs. And I don’t mind a guy like Zetterlund getting a look with the big club…at the very least, coming up here is a reminder for players like him that the NHL is quite the big step up from the AHL.
