Windsor Spitfires 2021-22 Season Thread (Part 6)

[hockeylegend11]

Why are we talking about a goalie who may not even be a member of this team anymore. Unless things have changed in the past few days and you've heard different, X is X Spit. Maybe things have since changed but X not with the team the last 2 games speaks volumes for the current state of affairs. If you know different then please elaborate. Even if he crawls back begging, do you really want that drama in the dressing room amongst the rest of the team who are committed to playing their best unconditionally?

I doubt Medina will crawl back begging and I doubt Savard according to my sources will change his attitude towards Medina either so the team suffers the most imo

 

[TheGremlin]

Maybe Medina should grow up

 

[OHLTG]

The impression I got, a few weeks back, was the whole thing was a work-in-progress and Medina was working with Leighton. I HOPE that things have gotten better but I'm not banking on it.

 

[windsor7]

Well one thing is for sure, you can't say the team gives up or doesn't work hard. Rallying from a 3-0 deficit shows these guys don't give up. Also, the talk about McDonald, yes he scored goals but the team's offensive production hasn't dipped since trading him. They are scoring four or five goals almost every game.

Currie is more physical and seems to be the type of player you need to win playoff games. Same goes for Christopoulis and Maillet, these guys work hard and can wear teams down with the cycle game and are contributing offensively. The issue is the defensive zone coverage, it's a problem but it is what it is. It's gonna be hard to catch Flint, especially with their mickey mouse schedule.

If the Spitfires win tonight they are only one point back of SOO with 4 games in hand. Spits will likely finish 3rd in the conference.

Light stat.

 

[windsor7]

I know that he's asked about Onuska/Medina recently and I have no doubt he'd ask it again at next chance.

U asked him about his writing?

He’s gone, I told you all this last week, let’s move on.

Do you think the Medina situation has anything to do with the 7-1 loss to Guelph? Coach left him in for all 7 goals... a la Patrick Roy.

 

[Cherrydon]

Why is it Savards attitude an issue and not X, s? Takes 2 to tangle and it is common knowledge that X had previous "attitude " issues long before Savard. Why the sudden goaltending coach change? Why did Bowler attain another older goalie? There is 1 common denominator. X How many pkayers are "Associate coaches " 1 is too many on any team and we have at least 2. Henault almost every face-off runs to the forwards to give his 2 cents before puck drop even after a set play from the bench was prescribed.

 

[windsor7]

You are correct Medina is 6-6-0-1 on the road and has not won on the road since Jan 9,going 0-3 in the process,what you failed to mention is that since Jan 9 Medina is 6-0 at home with a 2.30 goals against average to boot.
Onuska on the road is 1-1-1-1 since arriving plus he got yanked 16 minutes into his 1st game after allowing 3 goals and got bailed out by Medina.
Just adding context.

Lots of goals and comebacks have bailed medina out of many games.

Completely agree.

People at the top including bowler should of had a plan.

 

[Cherrydon]

Same thing I heard but until the team makes an "announcement " there are too many hopeful people on here with Rosy glasses looking on.

Could it have played a factor? Certainly. Do I KNOW that it did? No. That said, since the game, Savard has said sometimes teams need "a good whoopin'." (referring to the blowout) I guess we'll find out tonight and tomorrow what the situation is... or at leat get a better idea.

Do u still get your pizza?

 

[Cherrydon]

If Savard is anything as harsh as Dale Hunter then give the man a bonus Scotty Bowman made it clear that it is my way or the highway Savard still needs to earn that accolade but that is the tug of war with mixed coaching staff and players with "senority " put it all away and Let's go play hard tonight and tomorrow and win 5 of 6pts this weekend. That is how this team can overcome the current drama.

 

[nelli27]

Do u still get your pizza?

No, I'm still waiting on the Capri pizza (as part of bet where I said Onuska would inherit starting job). I can only stare at the advertisement behind the Windsor goal for so long before I start to drool.

 

[Cherrydon]

This is a good lesson moving forward for all players that when you think you are bigger than the team then you need to find a new team.

 

[windsor7]

Should be given to u soon if what was stared on here comes true. Time will tell. It will be just much more delicious for u.

Absolutely. Check your ego at the door.

BB was right for doing this. Medina is not above the team or coach.

Does Capri use fresh mushrooms or are they canned like most Windsor style pizza has?

 

[Teflon]

Until we hear it official it’s still rumour. BB had to do it but he also should have seen it coming! It’s not anything new, players act up, this player has had this issue more than once. Writing was on the wall and you need to protect your team! He did not.

 

[windsor7]

No player should be.

You are clueless
Medina is 14-0 this season when allowing 3 or less goals per game how is the team bailing him out for fk sakes.
Only goalie in top 12 undefeated with this stat.

 

[nelli27]

They were canned the last time, but Rayzor said I should have asked for fresh mushrooms. Excellent pizza though.
