Gotta admit, that's a nice line up to have. Go WOLVES!

 

[howlman]

Hold the fort Vondras! Glad they reunited the Delic Villeneuve Goyette line. That line is money. Let's go boys!

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Let's freaking Go Boys!! Full line up finally.

Discipline as always is key in the playoffs. Even more so tonight as it looks as though we get not only Burchell, but Ferguson as well as this evening’s referees.

Let’s go Wolves.

No wonder they are going to Brampton… home game to start the playoffs and it’s nearly empty.

 

[djscooter]

Boudreau spears a wolves player, verbal warning. McCallum puts the puck in 0.5 seconds after the he whistle. That's a penalty. Ohl refs are crooks as usual.

 

[djscooter]

More wolves fans then Steelheads in the building it looks like.

 

[CTrain10]

I understand we’ve gotten a lot of the power plays, but 13 penalties in one period is pretty crazy. These dudes are insane.

I think only Hutchison and Burchell is worse than Ferguson and Burchill. That's horrible. Those bozos should not be getting playoff games.

Not a great period fpr the Wolves, power play not clicking, losing face offs in our own end missing great chances just inviting a momentum swing if they keep this up. Settle down boys, keep out of the penalty box.

1/4, lots of scoring chances. 25.2% was what they were in the regular season. Was good enough, just need to focus on staying out of the box going forward.


Mississauga radio guy saying the wolves and Vondras got bailed out by the post, when the wolves hit 2? 3? posts that period is always hilarious though.

 

[WolvesFanInNorthBay]

Wolves with some good defensive play and clearing all second chances. Rebounds are available but Mississauga can't get to them. Kudos on the team for committing to team-D. Hopefully they can keep it up for one more period. I'd love for them to kick up the pace a bit.

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Some terrible turnovers lucky it wasn't in the back of the net on those. They need to keep it simple. Stop the panic rushes that causes turnovers. Don't try to make something that isn't there.

Hope for a 3rd like the 1st.

Musty's been taking some big hits but hasn't taken a stupid penalty.

 

[djscooter]

For everything these refs have called, they seem perfectly fine letting (mostly) Mississauga players crash people into the boards 3+ seconds after they get rid of the puck.

 

[djscooter]

Great first game, top to bottom, thought every player contributed. Saw Villeneuve return with a full cage which is good to see as well.

I thought the D-core played well, especially Mania, who played with a physical element he's not really shown before.


Seeing Boudreau on Mississauga does make me really glad the wolves shipped him out, what an absolute loser.


Most importantly, Wolves have won back home ice for this series.

 

[Savard18]

AND THAT’S WHY WOLVES FANS HAVE BELIEVED IN BABY HASEK ALL YEAR LONG!!!!!!!

 

[CTrain10]

Good start. Don’t even wanna mention the goalie, Voodoo is good right now. More of the same in game 2 from him

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Well Vondras should silence the critics for a while.

Made some great saves down the stretch late in the third.

 

[NorthernBridge7]

Was not expecting a Vondras shutout to open the playoffs!

 

[I Loveallsports]

He certainly did. But, I'd like to see him give a few as well. I guess it's not apart of his game.

For tonight yes. He played well and the team D was good too. We'll see how the rest of the series goes.
