IceHogs at Checkers: Open Game Thread

by Brian LeBlanc on Jan 27, 2012 6:43 PM EST in Charlotte Checkers

Just because the Canes are on the All-Star break doesn't mean we can't have some hockey action in the Old North State.

It's Race Night at Time Warner Cable Arena, and the Charlotte Checkers expect a full house of nearly 15,000 in the building tonight as they face the Rockford IceHogs, the top affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Checkers find themselves with a Midwest Division-leading 56 points, second behind Oklahoma City in the Western Conference, and hold a 4-1 record against Rockford including a 4-3 shootout win last night in this building.

Listen live to the action at gocheckers.com or watch on Time Warner Cable channel 520. You can also watch on AHLLive if you're fortunate enough to have a subscription. No live blog, but feel free to jump in the comments.

Short postgame recap: The Checkers took a 2-0 lead, then Rockford came back to take a split in the back-to-back, winning 3-2. Of primary importance to the Canes was the status of Zac Dalpe, who was checked from behind in the boards by the IceHogs' Ben Youds early in the second period and didn't return. Coach Jeff Daniels said that he didn't really have an update after the game, so we'll see what happens. At this point it's unknown whether Dalpe will return to Carolina after the NHL All-Star break.

By combining on a first-period power play goal, goal-scorer Bobby Sanguinetti and Chris Terry extended their respective points streaks to eight games, tying a Checkers franchise record. Sanguinetti now has scored four goals in six games after going 29 games without lighting the lamp to start the season, and leads the Checkers with nine points over that six-game stretch.

After Dalpe goes for tripping at 8:37, Sutter sits for a questionable hooking penalty at 8:58. Rockford has a 5-on-3 for 1:40.

by Brian LeBlanc on Jan 27, 2012 7:25 PM EST reply actions

Watching these games, it’s hard to quantify but you can see how much slower the game is “thought” in the AHL. There’s much more time taken both in offensive setup and in defending, compared to the NHL where the plays are almost run without thinking.

by Brian LeBlanc on Jan 27, 2012 7:27 PM EST reply actions

Checkers kill off the 5-on-3 as well as the rest of Sutter’s penalty. Looked pretty good in doing so. Muse came up big a couple of times.

Youds gets 5 minutes for boarding and 5 for fighting. Bowman gets 2 for instigating, 5 for fighting and a ten-minute misconduct.

by Brian LeBlanc on Jan 27, 2012 8:10 PM EST reply actions

So basically, when Bowman’s instigator penalty is served, the Checkers will have a three-minute power play on which they can score as many times as they want.

Two things I didn’t need to see.

They haven’t been the same since the hit on Dalpe. It probably didn’t help matters that Bowman was in the penalty box for the vast majority of the second period.

What a pass

Checks almost tie it up on breakaway.

Checkers get a power play thanks to an elbowing penalty to Chris DiDomenico (say that ten times fast) at 17:08. Huge power play coming up here, to say the least.

Checkers lose 3-2. Nash nearly put in a rebound with less than a second left, but it wasn’t to be. Good night, y’all…thanks for stopping by.

Hey Brian, just wanted to say thanks, big thanks, for hosting a game thread and posting your comments during and after the game. It was nice to have place to catch up and discuss, and always glad to see the farm getting some attention. Much appreciated!
