SSM Greyhounds 2019-20 Season Thread

[Savard18]

I didn’t think the revised version was that bad.

 

[staubitz]

It seemed fine to me. I thought he made some intriguing observations/theories.

 

[HockeyPops]

Its a shame they had to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

 

[DWI Dale]

I forgot this place is so heavily moderated. lol

Peter Ruicci seems to be seeing the same total and utter lack of defense that I'm seeing. We aren't going to be successful playing this way away from the puck or by handing over turnovers on our first pass.

One way or another, change is coming — RUICCI COLUMN

"The 2019-20 Greyhounds have been plagued by poor decision making and too many maybe passes. As in, maybe the puck will get there, maybe it won’t.
They offer up more turnovers than a pastry shop.
Odd-man rushes have become commonplace.
They take far too many senseless penalties.
They expose the shortcomings of their goalies by offering the opposition far too many great scoring chances.
And when they need a clutch save, they don’t get it consistently.
Simply, when they don’t have the puck and are forced to defend, at present the Hounds look like one of the worst teams in this league."

Hey Moderator the one that deleted 2 of the post on this board can you please at least tell us why it was taken down ?

8 games played by Hayton. Brad Richardson placed on IR.

‘more turnovers than a pastry shop’ Classic!

sometimes i miss the nonsensical rants of bill montague. he was a perfect heel and would probably have some funny things to add right about now.

 

[count35]

You’re right his Tuesday rants, trying to channel Grapes was ALMOST as bad/good as watching an episode of Tami!!!!! Lol

 

[HockeyPops]

O'Rourke - middle row, 2nd from left, will wear #21 tonight.

 

[DWI Dale]

Make us proud Ryan!

 

[HockeyPops]

By my count, last night was Haytons ninth game for Arizona. We find out soon, either way.

 

[HockeyPops]

Hayton watch:
This may complicate things slightly if Richardson comes back for next game as Hayton has been dressing in Richardson's place (although playing elsewhere in the lineup).

Coyotes C Brad Richardson and D Jordan Oesterle did not play, but both are close to returning from lower-body injuries.

[count35]

With the Coyotes playing 5 games within the next week it’s certain it will be decided one way or another.

 

[DWI Dale]

We soo fans love to hate on Dale Hunter but it's just as easy to love how crisp and organized his system is, and how quickly the players buy into it. Great game by team OHL.

 

[HockeyPops]

What happened to Trott is he hurt hasn't played in the last two games

Yep.

Notes: Hounds winger Zack Trott remains day-to-day with an upper body injury.

[DWI Dale]

A good opportunity to start trending in the other direction tonight. Let's hope the boys did some soul searching after the shellacking we got from Windsor.

Win, remember how it feels, then repeat.

 

[DWI Dale]

Different goalie, same lack of defense...

 

[Old hound]

Half way in second, 4-1 Sarnia. Has all the makings of another blowout. How can you be prepared for a game and get scored on 89 seconds in. This has to be one of the worst prepared teams I have ever seen. Same mistakes over and over. Time to take a long look at the coaching.

6-1 OMG lets get embarrassed again

The D without a W at the beginning of their name are struggling

 

[DWI Dale]

the 3rd period was something to build on an otherwise frustrating night.

 

[Fischhaber]

Only 27 shots and not a huge amount of scoring chances for Sarnia. Taylor has to be better for us to win a game like that. Malik can't come soon enough.
