Saginaw Spirit 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 2)

[LDN]

My point is you’ve had a lot of *****ebags.

You are a storm fan right?....funny you say that...your team is full of them

 

[Savard18]

That sh** will come back to bite you. Saginaw of all places should remember the Soo in round 1 last year and how that worked out for them.

Spirit are the class of the west! And they prove it, in post season!

His actions in the last 15 seconds of the 3rd were truly classless

You are right. For a while there he looked like he was a London Knight. There is no excuse for that and it was just shameful. PS: To be honest, I was laughing my ass off watching it on TV. He was just Ivan being Ivan. I've never seen a guy who is more loose and having more fun playing the game. It's a quick reminder that it is a game and it's supposed to be fun. I do wonder how the London fans would have reacted if this game was a shut out. Anytime Ivan gets a shut out he pulls the goal down as if to say "this goal is closed for the night".

...long suffering Spirit fans deserve this..fill that barn..I was there for first 2 years...tough

 

[Finster8]

At this point when name calling and some fans like their point of view over others it doesn't matter. To much hockey to play and as we know anything can happen in any game. London plays us 1 more time and if they beat us it will be because that was two evenly matched teams for the most part and the best team won that night. Every team has a mouth piece or 10. Saginaw is getting used to being a contender and London is always in the mix. If we lose in the first round that's hockey. But let it go, next game is what matters.

Typical response to a London loss, tsk tsk

 

[ohloutsider]

And it's not like I haven't called them out for doing it then either... as a matter of fact the last time these two teams played I was all over Lochead for his antics... so what's your
point?

All teams have that guy. Domi was a clown most nights for London but he backed it up with good play. Saginaw goalie plays fine. He backs up his antics. Windsor has had their share. I just chalk it up to they are kids thing.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

anyone have a video clip of the last 15 seconds to show us the goalie incident?

picture the Sean Avery clip Otto posted..only it's Brodeur doing it to Avery. Personally I have no issue with it...want it to stop...do 1 of 2 things

1. beat him
2. lower your head and drive him through the crossbar

in no particular order

Listened on the radio and they describe him as distracting the fore checkers by waving his arms. Wich is totally different than running up the score with hotdog goals. Saginaw was doing the exact opposite. Trying to run the clock down to prevent injuries or BS. Would enjoy seeing what happened with my own eyes.

Right or wrong, Douchebag or not, complaints from Knights fans are not going to engender much empathy from other fans around the league.

Not expecting them to. The actions of the goalie however have.

Not sure if you actually saw what happened or not... this goes beyond the typical "yapping" that people like to complain about. The only Knight I can recall that behaved close to this in recent memory was Jordan Shine and I wasn't a fan of his antics either. The only visiting player I can recall acting close to this was Chanse Fitzpatrick from Sudbury in 2003.

Except there was nobody around him....

 

[Kingpin794]

Him barking at Stranges was worse than the stupid arms out thing he did. He was just being goofy. You guys have made that seem a lot worse than it was.

Its unsportsmanlike... and it's being painted as some sort of clock killing technique... which it wasn't

Regardless, it was harmless it was not classy but it hurt nobody. You guys really do not like to lose.

it was funny. how are you guys this bent out of shape over this? You're not even upset about the correct portion of the video.

video was edited and doctored...apparently we have a knack for that kinda thing in London

Well as someone with zero skin in the game either way I think it was worthy of the Ice Follies and antics like that have no place in our game. Noting against your team which I rather like but Prosvetov had played so well and then at least for me made himself look bad for reasons only he knows.
Anyway, I’m glad our Euro is a humble gentleman, that’s much more worthy of respect and to be honest, even as a die hard fan I wouldn’t excuse the behaviour if it was a Ukko. Oh well moving on, not the end of the world but strange. Never seen that in over forty years of watching hockey.

 

[BPFox]

If having fun is un-sportsman like, then I guess that makes me un-sportsman like too. I thing this was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. You don't know, maybe one of the London players wanted to fight and asked him if he wanted to dance. Maybe Ivan's english isn't so good, or maybe he didn't know that "dance" meant fight and he took the request literally and began to dance. All I know is, I'm still laughing.

UPL is a class act all around wish the Wolves played in london more often
