SSM Greyhounds 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Old hound]

This could be that stick a fork in them moment, were losing to Guelph, both Erie and Owen Sound are winning. Need to win this game!

 

[DWI Dale]

as Old hound suggested, today's loss may have put things out of reach.
bummer but we're not statistically out of it yet.

 

[HockeyPops]

Is regulation wins the first tiebreaker? Or head to head?

Wow, so if we tie Erie there is a tie break game!

I truly believed we would get on a roll and somehow win a few 50/50 games. We needed to go 3-1 not 1-3 over the last four. I agree we are not statistically out of it, but we will likely lose 8 or the last 11. I do not understand why were are so average. Frustrating!

 

[HockeyPops]

Who knows, maybe we could still go on a roll. The only disappointing effort in recent memory was Hamilton on Saturday, and even that game had us only down by one early in the third.

The boys have been playing some good hockey. Maybe lady luck starts to shine on them.

 

[DWI Dale]

just saw most recent Sault Star. Peca called the shootout loss bittersweet and thats pretty accurate.
they came back late, they got a point, and most of the season you're happy with that.

with just over a month left there's still time to make a push but it's definitely rally cap time.

 

[shot caller]

Without anyone questioning my commitment to Dale’s request for a rally cap - it may be useful to begin some chatter about the upcoming ohl draft.

Should the headgear not establish the desired results, we most likely would finish with the 4th overall pick.

It’s been a while since we have seen players in that area of the draft. I understand we have a history of drafting well and pulling quality players out from areas far later than the top 5 picks. However, it’s undeniable that a team could potentially find something special that high in a draft.

Who is available? What needs would we be filling? Is anyone going to be considered an immediate impact that may help with a run next season?

 

[HockeyPops]

Traditionally top 5 picks are not traded in their 16 year old year. It may hurt our run more than help it.

I would certainly think we may receive more from a top 5 pick than any of the bottom 4/5 forwards in our line up.
I wasn’t suggesting anything to do with a trade.
I’m sure a case could be made that any of the top 5 from this past season’s draft (outside of Wright as that’s an anomaly) would be a welcomed edition to any contending team right now.

 

[LR8]

Sault with 2 more wins than Erie, but currently 4 points back having played 2 extra games. Erie has a remarkable 11 points from losing games. Rewarding the trap.

 

[HockeyPops]

@shot caller
If we are all in next year, what does that mean? To me, it means adding an elite '01 and an impact '00. Can we do that without trading away our first round '04 selection?

According to my calculations, Kerins is a top 5 sniper league-wide.

Name	Team	SH%	G	SOG
Garreffa, Joseph	OTT	25.9%	28	108
Giroux, Damien	SAG	23.8%	34	143
Jenik, Jan	HAM	23.4%	22	94
Byfield, Quinton	SBY	23.4%	32	137
Kerins, Rory	SOO	23.0%	28	122

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

To calculate this, I looked at player stats on the OHL website, and sorted by goals (descending). I exported the results to excel (it gives top 100 results), and then in excel I divided goals by shots and sorted by the new column. I knew he was leading the team in goals, but had no idea he was converting his chances at this kind of rate.

 

[dirty12]

Great SH% for sure, and it might bode well for the future. but Robertson, Kaliyev, Quinn, McMichael are not that list; so, that list might be more about players that should attempt more shots than it is about snipers.

 

[HockeyPops]

For sure, would love to see Kerins attempt more shots. And FYI, Quinn 6, Robertson 8, McMichael 26, Kaliyev 42.

So Kaliyev shoots a lot!

2020 OHL Draft Ranking: February’s Top-150

Heard from ohl scouts that sit around me that this is the year of top talent coming from the USA. We must make sure that who we draft will show up because more and more USA players are staying in USA leagues or going the college route. Great site for OHL draft prospects.

Is that a good thing? Shooting at a 23%+ clip means he's been getting somewhat lucky with shots as usually they dont go in a quarter of the time, so hes bound to go through some regression right? Whereas if he was shooting like 18% you'd be more happy because that is less likely to go throuh a regression

You're on record saying that shooting percentage is based entirely on the skill of the shooter and quality of the chances.

Sorry I forgot I couldnt ask OHL related questions without going through the self-appointed gate keeper. This place would be so much better if you just allowed people to talk and not butt into literllay every single conversation. Stop doing that, please


What I said was in no way confontational or disparaging so why jump in and try to turn it into an arguemnt, when you werent even involved? Like for what?
