Well this is good news for 1 poster.

 

[three dog night]

Is last night loss a wake up call.

I think it's too simplistic and not always feasible just to say change it up. If you want to say change it up going into the 3rd it would have more merit. Sarnia got 2 PP goals in 2:44 near the end of the 2nd period. Yes Johnston/Cuylle were on the ice for these PP goals, Perrott was also on the ice for 3 of them. The one PP goal was a 4 on 3 and Maillet/Jodoin/Perrott were on the ice. Henault and Renwick were in the box but was the plan really to have Jodoin on D to kill penalties?? The best way to improve the PK is not to take 4 minor penalties and give them PPs in a span of 8 minutes. The rest is just window dressing.

Absolutely

 

[2023]

Absolutely

I think Sarnia taste blood and have the confidence now. Coach will go into panic mode like he always does. No I’m not a fan! Never was and never will be

 

[Travis Bickle 77]

No panic mode needed! Spits need to stay outta the box and have to start capitizing on their scoring chances. More pressure in the crease!! Gotta get the garbage goals!

Terry Doyle makes me feel like I'm listening to Colin Robinson, he just drains me.

lol, when I'm having a hard time sleeping at night, I just toss on a replay and let the two Sarnia broadcasters lull me to sleep.

For some blinded by the winning streak I think so, but many of us could see the holes in the team and were calling them out even as they were piling up the W's. They're just finally coming to surface. They should win the series but they can't get overconfident and need to show they can play through adversity.

 

[Teflon]

So Russian players banned from the chl draft!!

They’re far from the worst though. I just dislike the way he says “Scores!”.

Didn’t we know this some time ago?

It isn’t hard to coach against a team that we’ve played 8x. I agree that most of us have seen the holes.

Just decided. Some expected it but there wasnt an announcement til now.

Yup agreed, after the same matchup for 8 games, if you are the better team you should be the one taking advantage of that.

In an earlier post you mentioned about a change in goaltenders for tonight's game vs Sarnia, putting Medina in for Onuska
That is something I would not do for this game,and while I feel Onuska should have stopped one of those goals scored against him,it is important to note that Onuska has allowed only 1 even strength goal in his 1st 3 playoff appearances to date.
Now a bad outing tonight will change my mind,though I am expecting a much better overall team effort tonight and hopefully a commanding lead for the serious.
No doubt our best players need to our best tonight, I doubt they take this team lightly in the game tonight would not be smart.

Drafts always a part of things I look forward to every year.
Not used to at least recently picking near last in most rounds,more pressure on the scouts to unearth solid prospects at every position.
Not sure whether Windsor should draft a forward or a dman with the 1st selection, at #22,one mock draft has Spits taking a forward, another a dman,having 2 picks in the 1st 34 I like,and then 2 by early 4th round I like too,can see 1F,D,G, plus 1 of either a D or F in those 4 selections,if a forward is taken in 1st round,I would select 2 of next 3 picks as dmen then vice versa if dman is selected in 1st round,then go 2 dmen in next 2 of 3 picks,unless of course somebody drops unexpectedly then take best player regardless of position.
With 15 picks as of now,I would go 1G,6D,8F,unless again unexpected happens then take 2G,5D,8F.
I have been pleased overall the last 2 drafts,hopefully I will the same again after this one.

Welcome back, HL.
Has Onuska earned me a Capri pizza yet?
I'm hungry.

Huh? In 2 of the last 3 drafts, Windsor picked 4th and 6th overall...

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess I misread HLs post. My bad...
