Mississauga Steelheads 2018-19 Season Thread

[Steel Fishbowl]

Good to see some Steelhead content. Thanks for posting the link.

Exhibition hockey tomorrow, see what the game line up looks like, last I checked no word on cuts yet.

Ontario Hockey League – Official Site of the Ontario Hockey League

All pre-season rosters are now out on the OHL and the Steelheads roster is pretty much what you would expect. I think that one of the FA's from the Q will have a chance, maybe Sam Meisenheimer if they need an additional body up front

Another video from Trout Fan Darius is up and live on the OHL Collective. Check it out

Darius is one of the very few sources of information related to the Steelheads I have been able find. Fish should hire the guy, they need better PR and team information sources. IMO.
Keep up the good work Darius!!

Agreed. He's got a mind and passion for this. Super nice human as well

Highly doubt it as it is being played in the minor rink. Also it is Humber College that shows the games and I doubt the classes are back. Rogers packed up and left 16 months ago.

Bounced around the Q a bit. Then again there isn't much to trade for a impact OA this year and likely not the year to do it. Spoiled with Spencer Watson 2 seasons ago.

What do you guys think about Filip Reisnecker so far ?

 

[Babula]

is he a "bro" of Max Reisnecker ?

 

[Kenny Chu]

Does it matter? Will this team at least be competitive this year?

Their young guys will have to develop quickly and JR will have make some improvements to the back end if they hope to be competitive IMO.

Picked up a Def Man from Niagra for a 8th round pick. Seems like a LD.

He is listed as 165 lbs- hope he has gotten bigger than he was whenever the profile was created.

I hope so too, looks like a good value trade as Niagara probably didn't have any room for him on the roster. Put up good numbers in Junior B as a 16 year old

Too early to tell, lets see what happens.

Hey, nice win today!

Wins don't really matter now, but of course it is better then the alternative.

Dunsmoore didn't face much fire but he did not look out of place at all in net. Zuyev made a few mis ques but there seemed to be a bit of a communication issue on one of them. He skates like a bull it seems like, not graceful but powerful. Both Imports could have a serious impact as they get used to being here.

More LD then RD, a few shifts had a dman offshot. Will be interesting to see how the lines and d rotation boil down when the next round of games happen.

I certainly felt more optimistic after yesterday’s game. They were pretty solid on the backend and showed a bit of skill on the front end. Guelph didn’t field a great line up so it is difficult to ascertain how competitive the fish will be this year.
They got good games from all of the returning guys. The fish appear to have speed to burn. There are a few kids who still are staying on the ice longer than their “best before “ date. I think JR will have them ready for the season.

 

[Draftguy]

Thought Dunsmoore was very solid considering the added pressure of playing in front of hometown crowd in his first outing. Made some key saves early. Returning crop looked good and thought Christner had some upside. Would have been nice to see Nardi play as well. Team is small but tough with plenty of speed.

 

[Steel Fishbowl]

Definitely still too early to call it a win but I think it's fair to say that Nardi is probably a better player than what we could expect from the 8th round pick that was traded for him

I like they way Charlie Callaghan slowed the game down at times during Mondays game nice passes good reads and average skating. Any Missy natives see how he looked during camp, and the game vs Oshawa (if he played)

Misenheimer has a lazer of a shot, nice quick release. I'd lke to see more of him before the season starts. Could be the 3rd OA. (O'Grady, carter and misenhiemer) to be fair I didnt see much of barbosa aside from warm ups.

I heard O’Grady has a injury which could keep him out for a while which isn’t good news. It could provide an opportunity for one of the other OA dmen to get some ice time and a chance to see what they can do. I wonder why Ryan McLeod hasn’t dressed for an exhibition game as yet.
Is he injured?

 

[LDN]

Is this year a selling year for you guys?

 

[Tarantula]

I didnt see much of barbosa aside from warm ups.

Interesting, I liked him overall, wasn't flashy or anything. Thought he played consistent and well, but I had no prior knowledge or expectations.

thought Christner had some upside.

He is a physical player, liked him as well in that role.

 

[Tarantula]

This team may not look as good on paper as last year but I could see them having a good season. There is no leading scorer on D as Hague last year but the top 6 should be more steady through and through. They won't score as much but I think they will do better on the goals against and get more balanced scoring amongst their lines this year. A few less shots per game against and a few percentage points on the save % goes a long way from some of the games we saw last year.

Verdict is out on JR as a GM, but I have liked how the team plays for him as a coach.

 

[Scooter44]

Agreed
