I wonder if he might play at home? Wolves hanging in.Sorry Demeo.

Yes agree. Our lack of powerplay is hurting.It's not looking good. One-on-three's everytime we carry the puck into their zone, three-on-twos for Ottawa everytime someone carries it into ours.
Luukkonen has made some big saves today but he really should've made a play on that puck Ottawa scored their 2nd with (ie poke it away). I bet he wants that one back.

Yep obviously the biggest game of the year Tuesday. Love to see them extend it. Home ice can make a difference.Welp. Gotta win both at home.
Another 2-on-1 goal
Stratis causing damage with his stick today. One goal and tip to Levin face, not a good day for him. Ottawa is good team, tough battle. Ottawa counters so quickly when least expected, but we need to play more physical, get pucks in deep, easier said than done.
Ouch! Murray's second setup of the night with that blind pass back to defense. Ukko's been doing his best to keep us in it. They guys are working hard.
If we get Savage I would be ecstaticThank the Asian Jesus (21 Jump Street ref.), that you fools aren’t apart of the people who pick our players. Clearly the Wolves are going to be a tough team to play against in the future, with the picks they’ve made. Scratching your head on McCallum, but all had hard-ons when picking McFarland lol. The league is soft, if you have skill and are a tough player to play against, I would be happy to have you!
As far as the second round, glad they picked Stillman, it’s in the bloodlines. Much higher ranked than Folignos were, and will be a better player forsure. And Larmand likely wouldn’t have been there when he was projected.
Don’t read into the predraft ranks, if teams don’t go to tournaments where scouts are or play teams who aren’t often scouted, they aren’t going to be ranked as high.
PS- Savage just followed the Wolves on Twitter.... they wouldn’t pick him if they didn’t think they had a chance.
Dmo out
I think one of biggest weaknesses are Murray passes in his game, most of time kind of reckless and doesn't make tape to tape passes.
One thing though the Wolves never quit.10 min left in the game- this might turn into target practice against Ukko to end the game.
Not here to rub it in.
It is tough. In Ottawa we’ve seen some decent stretches of dominant hockey and then stretches of what looks like simple disinterest. I am happy to see more interest right now. IT looks like the boys are slamming the pedal down and pushing.
The speed is tough. The pace is tough. As the game and series push forward, the opposition will get tired chasing. That seems to be what is happening here.
I REALLY like what I am seeing from the Wolves though. They have drive, just not enough depth of skill yet. They look a lot like we looked like last year (save for excellent goaltending while Ottawa was SHYTE). I look for a really solid jump forward next year for the Wolves. Your franchise deserves it and you have amongst the best fans in the league.
Cheers. The Wolves will benefit from this experience too. Special teams really have been the difference but that’s where the depth and skill factor weighs in.Not here to rub it in.

Agree to disagree. There’s more than one good goalie in the world and I see aThe biggest problem/worry is if that jump forward next year will come. Losing Ukko is not something they can replace. Next year will likely be Byfield's last year. They're just in a tough place due to inconsistent drafting and don't have a real age group to build around. Next year when they should be building around their 19 year olds + Byfield, their 19 year olds will look like McConville, Robinson, Hutcheson, Gihula, Stratis, Serensits. Not exactly a group that screams contender sadly.
It just seems like more of the same, year after year of middle of the pack, with no real hopes of "going for it".
