[SPITS4EVER]

Interesting to know the last time the spitfires had (2 )50 goal guys was the 87-88 powerhouse spits.
David Haas 60
Kelly Cain 57
and of course won the OHL championship that year!
I went to game 2 that year in finals
only OHL team to go undefeated in playoffs 12-0

Still can’t believe that team lost in Mem cup final

Ya,,,,,,they had won 31 or 32 straight games going into that final game
heart breaking for sure
maybe best junior team ever
solid goaltending

That was a great team. Family had seasons tickets that year and saw every game. I cried like a baby when they lost the last game to the Tiger Cats and I'll forever hate Trevor Linden.

So I'm hearing Abraham had surgery and is done for the year? Anyone heard this or can confirm?

Not heard anything but have stated many times on here surgery should have been done months ago when you read sports doctors say that torn ligaments seldom heal on their own. Frustrating.

 

[windsor7]

Onuska starts.
Joey back up.
Not many scratches either.
Hmm...

 

[spits]

Someone on here posted they heard on Wednesday the scuttlebut is Abraham could be back for the second round.

De’Angelis out. So no one is being rested, interesting . The goal tonight is to just avoid injury .

 

[Cherrydon]

Sometimes teams think stupidly a few weeks rest will do the trick selfishly hoping miraculously it will heal on its own. Kinda like like a leg is broken but don't set it because it may take longer to heal. Average wrist ligament surgery takes 6 weeks to heal. Abraham would have been healed and back 100% a few weeks ago and ready for the playoffs. I know they coddle players but think of the players careers instead of teams hopeful agenda.

 

[SPITS4EVER]

Woodall Martin McManus and Davis in
DeAngelis upper body is out

 

[Cherrydon]

Worried long term about Dangelis. Hoping it is sore but not a tear.

 

[rve24]

Not sure why the Spits wouldn't rest players other than appeasing the fans. The die hards were always there but to make lineup decisions based on that? In a meaningless game?
LK has the JrB lineup going tonight up front so it should be a great chance for the arena to party, get loud, n enjoy the well earned 1st place finish. And who better to do it against Enjoy

 

[spits]

Abraham is chilling on the bench at warmups, definitely didn’t just have surgery lol.

He didn't have surgery.

If two guys want to go (mcmanus/leonard), let them go. Why let emotions get worse? Fight, penalize, move on.

If both had cages. No problem...

You'd get an extra penalty for cages. For mcmanus, that's not a big loss.

 

[OHLTG]

This feels like a preseason game. Windsor has no urgency and I don't really blame them. Frankly, I'm surprised so many vets are playing.

Refs did right thing.
No fight.

Defense sure got the memo. Ugh

 

[Cherrydon]

Benter fact check that. It has already occurred.

He didn't have sur

 

[windsor7]

Defense not good

 

[TheGremlin]

At least Spits won when it mattered.

Also what a bonehead move by Dionicio. Not like he was playing good anyways.

Haven't seen it done in a while, but that's been a 5 game suspension in the past. Not sure if the OHL still allows teams to buy suspensions back or not.
