That was a great weekend of hockey, I hope that keeps up. 5 out of 6 points on the weekend, couldn’t ask for much more especially given the opponents.
3 in 3 for Onuska really makes me think this goalie situation is in fact, “settled.”Definitely is wearing Medina’s old bucket, with a new cage and back piece. He’s not a Brochu, but if he’s taking two points from Brochu, no complaints here.
Good team effort. Spits did well at holding back and keeping their emotions in check when London got chippy. Would’ve been nice to get the goal back after the Evangelista Goal/Penalty with the unsportsmanlike on Cuylle. But good on Cuylle not taking a swipe at him… I would’ve.
Also huge props to Zito for standing up to Mailloux and rocking him. From the stats I pulled 3” height difference and 40+ pounds. No secret Zito can go and I guess after three shoves to the upper back and the prior “dirty” hits in the game he had enough. I was pumped up after that fight watching from the couch! Lol
A little less of a tough schedule on paper next week, hopefully they can yank close to 6 points out of it with OS at home and a double header in Erie, all winnable games.
This year has to be some sort of record for the quantity of major penalties. The one on OFlaherty definitely looked major worthy, and if suspensions are served out the way they have been, London down a couple guys for a weekend could help us with that battle in the standings.
I know schedules aren’t all equal this year, and Flints schedule isn’t the toughest, but it does look tougher down the stretch despite the long home stand. It’ll take a lot, but they’re catchable
