Guelph Storm 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Purple Phart]

Congratulations to the Storm and all their fans. When you've come back from 3-0 and 3-1 deficits to win in game 7, that's no fluke. You've legitimately earned the Western Championship. Best of luck vs the 67's.

Congrats! wow this team is tough to beat!

 

[swoopster]

Congrats from this Spirit fan, you guys deserved it. Now take the 67s to task!

 

[OMG67]

Congrats! wow this team is tough to beat!

You sure? I think they got beat six times....

 

[Living Vicariously]

Well done boys. Saginaw was a class act the whole series and Tristan Lennox will be an anchor for the Spirit for a few years to come. A very clean series and much respect between opposing fans on this board - no chirping back and forth from what I’ve seen and both sides let the teams play the game - very refreshing.

Now pull the plugs on the 3/4 turn and take it the rest of the way!

gotta bitta the rocky in em..down but hard to finish...... thats 4 straight....4 straight after down 3...and 3 straight from down 3-1..ya ... I'd say that's pretty darned hard ta beat.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Hat's off....Storm fans have gotta be hoping they fall behind 3-0 or 3-1 to Ottawa right now

Well you guys can just count the eggs you laid during the playoffs. We have heard it all, London was better, same for Niagara, Oshawa will take us out and also Sudbury.

No disrepect to Guelp but I think Ottawa will prevail, can't a team be allowed to just have great season.

Analyser it all means nothing if you lose in the end. Get your licks in now.

Newsflash - people can cheer for Guelph and/or be excited about their series' and comebacks and it doesn't take anything away from Ottawa.

 

[RoyalCitySlicker]

Great job so far, lads!

I have crow to eat and kudos to dole out, however this team isn't finished yet.

Now for the battle we all wanted to see Mikey vs. Poppy

Good luck in Ottawa....whether you come back 0-2 or 1-1, you'll have the 67s right where you want them....just don't come back 2-0

Agreed.

That said, I think there is loads of room to point out Guelph’s misgivings too. To get an opportunity to come back from large deficits, you need to first ring up the large deficit. I’ve never been one to give a lot of credit to teams that come back from a large deficit. You won four in a row after losing three in a row. Maybe it’s exciting, sure. Although it is impressive, it is also not impressive losing the first half of the series either.

 

[OMG67]

It will be interesting to see the plan Tourigny has to shut down the Suzuki presence. HE is clearly the top player in the playoffs. Plus the scoring coming from the back end spreads out the distribution of the puck and creates more holes. This should be a good test for the Ottawa defense, at least for the first 5 man unit. I’m curious to see who Tourigny will put out against them. Bahl will get the nod on defence. I think Chmelevski will get the nod at centre. We may see a slightly different line combination though.

ya but ...maybe this is just the "fat ladys' team.

Way to go Storm. Nice win for the team and the fans. Glad that former Attackers helped contribute to the West Championship. Continue to make Attack fans proud.

 

[Robray12]

I just hope Guelph stays over confident.
Gone are the days where the west was stronger then the east

Lose the first three against Ottawa and see what happens. LOL.

I would say overconfident is the last thing the Storm will be.

 

[Robray12]

Seriously it was fortunate that the Saginaw goalie got suspended, let’s be real Ottawa is facing the runner up who would never had won if the suspension never happened.

 

[StormWatcher]

Agreed.

Trust me, we Guelph fans have pointed out defecits all season long, we don't need you to remind us... nor do we ignore them when we get excited about a win.

I disagree. The young goalie was great. Saginaw was a good team but just never really did enough to put them over the top. The Storm needs to play motivated hockey and they can challenge any team IMO.

Storm win the first 3 and we will see what happens
