Oshawa Generals 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 2)

[Generalsupdates]

Didn’t Oshawarun up the score against Peterborough a month or so ago.

The game you're referring to was 8-6 with 9 minutes left in the 3rd. Not exactly a blowout.

Also the Petes were taking some dirty runs at Gens players (Gallant went after Keyser, Little got a 5 minute penalty, Grondin got a 5 minute penalty). And the Gens/Petes are huge rivals and they played again the next night. Not exactly the same as putting out your top line with 1:30 left up 8-0 against a team you only play twice a year

Read Kitchener and Owen Sound forum neither accused the Dogs of running up the score.

Please tell me you think a random fan with an hfboard account decides if that's running up the score or not


You can argue that running up the score isn't a big deal. But you can't argue the IceDogs didn't try to run up the score. They most certainly did

While there not complaining

Probably because it has absolutely nothing to do with them?

What line would you put out even the fourth line can score.

Situatio

Didn’t Oshawarun up the score against Peterborough a month or so ago.

Situation not the same - score was 8 6 with 10 mins to play and Petes took a bunch of stupid penalties. They were scored on 4 times in last 10 mins on PP. Tells you something when 3 goals are scored against on pp, and you are still playing shorthanded. Ice dogs with the cheating and on ice diving faking reputation beginning to be seen like last year soo team. Hot dogs, not ice dogs. They are very talented but according to score sheet the top line had multiple shifts in last 4 mins and scored at 18:31 of an 8 0 blow out. Very different scenario.

Sopa-Johnson-Uberti isn't even in the same league as Lodnia-Studnicka-Robertson lol

Sopa+Johnson+Uberti= 63 points
Studnicka by himself= 67 points
Robertson by himself= 99 points

Owen Sound fans not complaining the Petes game you had a 10 to 6 lead late in the third and still put out the number one power play out to score two more in the final minutes.

I believe the Sault was critized last season at times for the way they celebrated goals at times in one sided games.

And what does that have to do with anything...?

 

[three dog night]

Because your poster was comparing us to the Sault team last season

Yeah that's why he said it....

 

[three dog night]

Did not watch the Sault much so I do not know if they dove a lot I know Don Cherry criticism was celebrating goals in a one sided game never seen the Icedogs celerbrate a goal was the game becomes one sided Sopa has 18 goals and now mostly on the fourth line since Lodnia return.

He only got 1 shot last night and wasn't even on for a single goal in a 9-0 win. The 4th line was barely used, that's people's problem with the IceDogs in a 9-0 win

 

[three dog night]

How many times does Oshawa use their fourth line

 

[Generalsupdates]

How many times does Oshawa use their fourth line

The last 6 minutes of the 3rd in a 9-0 win? A lot

 

[three dog night]

What sucks is that even if Sudbury wins, the wolves fans on their hfboard won’t recognize the game because the Gens have a game also on the road the night before in the Soo.....

So Did the Icedogs on their last trip to Sudbury.

 

[Generalsupdates]

So Did the Icedogs on their last trip to Sudbury.

I was being facetious because after the Gens beat them, Sudbury fans were complaining that they played in Niagara the day before, so they must've been tired (even though the Gens had the exact same schedule in terms of 4-in-6 and 2 of them on the road)

Anyone else think Mattinen is terrible at defense? I find he’s always the slowest guy on the ice always gives up so many breakaways and a penalty shot attempt because forwards just fly past him. He also seems like he turns it over a lot. I will say I like his offensive ability’s he’s good on PP and always putting up the points. It just makes me nervous watching him on defense especially 3 on 3 past 2 games.

Yep. When Moore comes back hopefully Mattinen gets less defensive zone starts (give majority of them to Brewer+Gross and Moore+Vallati) and he can still be used a lot on the PP and for offensive zone starts where he is best

Appleby signs a 1 year with the Jets. Sent to farm team Jacksonville. Good for him. $650,000 a year.

Oshawa is a team that really intrigues me given the interesting and clever trades made this season. I would bet on Ottawa in the East, but I certainly wouldn't consider it an upset if Oshawa makes it to the OHL finals. What's your record against teams like Ott, Nia, Sud? Are there any teams in the East that seem to have your number (and vice versa)? Good luck in the playoffs.

Clever is a perfect word for the moves they made. Gained future assets while almost maintaining similar talented core to support a top flight goalie and playoff push this year. It was very well done.

Hamilton in town Friday night to play the Falcons at the old Jack wonder I’d Schell will start I believe their last visit they went with the other goal tender big game Hamilton looking to clinch the season series Falcons going for the split.

Hamilton Kitty B’s won last night. Was Schell in nets ?
