A few highlights ) Early Jack Rathbone rush, driving to the net --- https://streamable.com/huna2g

Well, that didn’t take long! Two shifts into his AHL career, and Jack Rathbone picks up his first career assists. Brilliant job by Rathbone (#3) to settle a rebound at the blue line before playing give-and-go with Will Lockwood (#10) for a one-timer. Luukkonen stops the initial blast, but John Stevens (#16) picks up the rebound but waits for Luukkonen to move before putting his shot into the wide-open net. Good stuff from the Comets early

Powerplays? Who needs ’em! Lockwood (#10) and the third-line capitalize again for the Comets with a quick bang-bang play behind the Amerks goal-line to set up John Stevens (#16) for his second of the night! A great forechecking presence from this line forces the Amerks into a bunch of egregious turnovers behind their net.

Haha, naturally. After several minutes pinned into their end, the Comets first line break out and smoothly hand off the puck to Jonah Gadjovich (#21), who rifles one past Luukkonen to break the tie. Think everyone in the o-zone got a touch on this puck before Gadjovich put it in. Very Canuck-ian goal from the Comets here.

Wow. What a turnaround! Nolan Stevens (#17) threads a pass to the blue line to Josh Teves (#4), who settles the puck before wristing a shot past a screened Luukkonen for his first career AHL goal. Good for Teves after a brutal run of luck in his pro-career. Great job by McKenzie (#81) screening Luukkonen on that play. Luukkonen had zero clue where that shot came from.

Woah!? Vinny Arseneau (#18) how da fuck are ya!? Amerks with a terrible giveaway bounce in the defensive zone. Arseneau in the high-slot spins with the takeaway and rips one past Luukkonen. No clue what this commentator is talking about, saying Arseneau doesn’t have good mitts. What goal was he watching, lol? Arseneau with his first goal of the year, and it’s a beaut, Clark!

Baertschi (#47) with a lethal shot to put the Comets up by four with less than four remaining in the final frame. Rathbone (#3) picks up his second assist on the night with the handoff. McKenzie (#81), again screening Luukkonen, opens up the glove side for the Comets shooter.
---https://streamable.com/2l4v3t

What a slaughter. Fourteen seconds after the Baertschi tally, Rathbone earns himself another primary assist as he fakes the shot to get around Brandon Biro before wheeling down the left-wing. Rathbone (#3) throws a shot off of Luukkonen’s pads, and Gadjovich (#21) buries the uncontrolled rebound.

MARCH 10ht,, 2021; Commentary ; CODY SEVERTSON

Comets continue their run of scoring the game’s opening goal! This time, Josh Teves (#4) makes an aggressive cut through the center to pick up an Amerks flip-attempt. Teves cuts down the right side, bowling over Griffin Luce in the process before setting up Hugh McGing (#14) for the net-front tap-in. Comets net moorings continue to be dogshit as, once again, the net gets pushed out of position by a light breeze. McGing picks up his first career pro-goal while Teves picks up his first assist of the season. Risky move from Teves, but it paid off. Good effort to capitalize on the risk/reward there

https://streamable.com/5vhjzl --1-0 Utica

The only-man who scores at 5v5, Jonah Gadjovich (#21), does it again! This time Jasek (#9) picks off J.S Dea’s breakout pass before handing the puck off to Mitch Eliot (#52). Eliot throws a pass into the slot, and Gadjovich shovels it past Luukkonen to give the Comets a two-goal lead. Gadjovich up to eight goals on the season now, the most in the AHL.

COMETS HARVEST: The Return…
APRIL 9, 2021 Commentary ; CODY SEVERTSON

GOAL – UTICA – 1-1 - Tie: Wow, Sam Anas (#7) with a gorgeous zone-entry into the Amerks zone before absolutely undressing Matthias Samuelsson. Anas throws the puck to the crease, and it deflects off of John Stevens (#16) and into the net. Jonah Gadjovich picks up a secondary assist for the initial breakout feed to Anas from the d-zone........https://streamable.com/82og48

GOAL – UTICA – 2-1 Comets: Who else, but Jonah Gadjovich! Sam Anas (#7) clowns on Remi Elie along the right wall before driving towards the goal line for a pass. Anas slips the puck past Ryan Jones to Gadjovich (#21), who taps the puck past Luukkonen.......https://streamable.com/f87gsx



-Jonah Gadjovich on the return to play
"I felt alright, I did some good things. There were a lot of things in my game I could have done better. I'll go over it in video tonight and see what I can take away from the on-camera."

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 Faber 🎙@ChrisFaber39
Didn't look amazing tonight but it's also been 30 days since he played in a game and had only been able to skate five times in those 30 days. He gets a pass over the next couple of games.
Comets are back at it tomorrow night.
