SSM Greyhounds 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 2)

[HockeyPops]

Good morning All.
Knight fan heading to the Soo for this afternoon's game.
Looking for a good spot for lunch.
Burger & craft beer? Close to the rink. Any suggestions?

I second Burger Don. Was just about to post it but @count35 beat me to it.

The Burger Don
7 Great Northern Rd Unit 11
Sault Ste. Marie, ON P6B 4Y4

Solo restaurant is also right across the street from the GFL and it’s open at 11. It serves alcohol as well. Here’s the link
MENU - Solo Trattoria - Sault Ste. Marie

Boiler Room is just a few minutes up Bay Street and would probably suit as well.

I also recommend Solo restaurant which is across the street from the GFL

Sorry repeated myself there. Lol

 

[7Wacked]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm sure we will check out one of those suggestions.

Solo is delicious but not sure that they are burger / craft beer.

this afternoon should be interesting. i suspect Dale Hunter and McMichael are honoured for their gold medal, perhaps even with a standing O, and within a period people will be screaming obscenities at him. hockey is a great game.

Don’t forget Foudy as well but your prediction is probably “bang on”. Maybe a pool on Dale being introduced and booed? LOL...

We do have one or two STH always in attendance that consistently demonstrate questionable decision making skills.

 

[DWI Dale]

plenty of time to boo old man Dale after we say thanks for a great tournament.

He will be cheered by the majority of fans at this particular time. We all respect the hard work he put in for Canada.

The booing can wait for our playoff match. I feel that the Greyhounds have the edge on Guelph (struggling badly) and Flint (negative goal differential) for that 5 spot with the way they have been playing. It would be a heck of a series.

Jow about after the first whistle? Lol

the warm and fuzzies won't last long.

IMO we (London) want nothing to do with the Soo in the playoffs quite frankly. Past record just has not been kind to us....
The rivalry and the pride of each organization however would make for entertaining hockey! Hopefully if we do meet it’s in the OHL West final!

Guelph has a hard working younger team that are well coached in order to exploit their roster strengths. By no means are they a “one trick pony” but Dawes is the key to their success. He enables them to win the close games when he is on top of his game. If he cools off or were to miss some games I think they will struggle mightily? Again IMO....?

 

[Fischhaber]

This is the worst officiating we have seen in the OHL this season. We're playing well 5 on 5 but the disgusting amount of bias that we usually see in this matchup rears it's ugly head again.

I already gave you the stats once before Bill, Greyhounds have had a lot more powerplays in this series over the last 10 years than the Knights have

 

[DWI Dale]

hounds with a well rounded bomb today. this ain't on the officials.

The Sault has the most PIM’s in the West.

But Otto, that doesn't matter. We all know Branch calls the officials before every London game to make sure they get the calls. It's a known proven fact. It doesn't matter that the other team has a bunch of younger kids and are overmatched a little. It doesn't matter that the Soo had won like, what as it? 16 straight or so against London before the last game. Nope. It's all the refs making sure London gets all the advantages. Makes sense doesn't it?

 

[Otto]

The Sault has the most PIM’s in the West.

Yes... but its everyone else's fault....

 

[Fischhaber]

The team was dogged by bad calls all through the winning streak, which is what made it so impressive.

The team is clearly not overmatched at all in today's game. They are quite obviously carrying the 5 on 5 play with more than double the shots that the Knights have. The chintzy penalties and non-calls on London high sticks that make a player bleed and obvious delay of game in the defensive end is what is resulting in the current score.

I've had very few complaints about the officiating this year except for the 2 games against London. It's the same thing every year and it's disgraceful.

 

[Hardcore Techno]

Hounds win 6-5 in a shoot out.

"I don't think Coach Dean is going to be too happy with that [Calisti's hooking call halfway through the 3rd]", Soo announcer, referred to it as "undisciplined".
