Excuse me while I wax poetic here. In November of 2018, I had a scheduling change at work that would completely alter the next few years of my life. I was home by 3:30 PM every single day and needed something to fill the void before my wife got home from work. Enter the Utica … Continue reading The Last Comets Harvest: The one versus the Rochester Americans
For most people, Friday's just the day before the weekend. But after this Friday, the neighborhood'll never be the same. Ice Cube's character, from F. Gary Gray's cult classic, Friday, summarized it best. After this weekend, the neighbourhood will never be the same. The Vancouver hockey landscape will never be the same. For the first … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: The Final Friday
https://twitter.com/UticaComets/status/1392541202281648129?s=20 I have seen things you wouldn't believe. Five attackers setting up to fire below the circles. I've watched a journeyman AHL tweener turn into a Sedin twin at the twilight of his Canucks career. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time ...to move. Tonight is the last home … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: A Final Goodbye to the City of Utica
One night and one more time Thanks for the memories Even though they weren't so great "He tastes like you only sweeter." The great poets Fall out Boy summarized the Utica Comets history better than a thousand monkeys working on a thousand typewriters writing the great Canadian analogy ever could. The last line, in particular, … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: The Last Dance at the Galaxy Cup [For the Canucks]
https://twitter.com/CanucksPR/status/1391432927645294596?s=20 Will Lockwood is on his way to Vancouver for a cup of coffee. The Canucks org jumped on the call-up after Lockwoods' very strong second-half of a tough rookie season. First Fifteen Games Lockwood spent the first chunk of his season alternating between a checking line with Tanner Kaspick or on a scoring energy … Continue reading Will Lockwood’s 2021 AHL campaign and the strong second half that earned him a look
https://youtu.be/fW0k9_OOBuo So that we're all aware of my mental state coming into tonight's re-re-re-rematch between the Utica Comets and the Syracuse Crunch--the above video is where my head is presently at, and it's giving me life. And maybe, just maybe, the good vibes I'm feeling tonight will travel 4700 kilometres eastward to the Adirondack Bank … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: Rematches and Reconnected Controllers
https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1389739123158642693 Let's talk about Utica for a bit, shall we? As an avid Farmies/CometsHarvest reader, I'm sure you've noticed my shoutouts to the locals, whether that be in clips, tweets, screenshots, or in some cases even radio hits with the local ESPN KROCK team. The Utica Comets faithful have taken care of Vancouver's prospects, and … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: Moving and Snoozing Edition
Arise, arise, Riders of Utica! Sticks shall be shaken, shinguards shall be splintered, a stick-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Skate now, skate now, skate! Skate for ruin and the season's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas! DiPietro's battle cry was heard echoing through the hallways of the Adirondack Bank Center as he … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: RETURN OF THE (SHORT) KING
The Comets look to rebound from a devastating 7-1 loss to the Syracuse Crunch when they face off against the *checks notes* Syracuse Crunch. Yeah, the schedule gets pretty bland and repetitive from here on out. Six of the next eleven games come against either Syracuse or Rochester, so variety will be out the window. … Continue reading COMETS HARVEST: Jonah Goaldjovich Does the Thing! Twice!
