SSM Greyhounds 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 2)

[DWI Dale]

Defensive game is showing some cracks.

Did you guys watch on Rogers channel 105?

CHLTV

Lol, so much for watching the last 2 minutes.

This looks like a Monet painting of Leaf fans after the first round of the play offs!

Coach Dean repeats that the Hounds tend to play a very good first period then revert to an average or bad last minutes. He stresses that this trend needs to be nipped in the butt as soon as possible and the players know this.

So what do they do last night? Exactly what needs to STOP.

What is it going to take for Dean to get through to his players regarding this unwanted trend???

Your bet is as good as mine.

Hopefully, the Hounds find an answer to this problem.

I feel bad for Niagara.

I think the Hounds are going to unleash a beast tonight..

Don't think you need a beast to beat Niagara.

 

[HF92]

Don't think you need a beast to beat Niagara.

No, that’s why I feel bad lol

 

[Bear54]

I think that they need to stay in the moment and play one game at a time.

 

[93MemCup]

I hope it’s not the classic trap game by looking ahead to tomorrow’s tilt with Saginaw.
take care of business tonight, move on

 

[HF92]

No Mignosa tonight, D’intino also still out.

Tate Vader in.

 

[mag1600]

What is the story with Mignosa - injured?

Hope D'Intino does not have recurrence of shoulder injury.

From what I’ve heard it is not shoulder related.

No idea on Mignosa. If I had to guess maybe just illness?

 

[Fischhaber]

Shots are 35-7. This reminds me of the game against Oshawa where Jacob Oster stood on his head.

Niagara is not quite as bad as Oshawa, but close. Hopefully we can solve Flores in the third.

 

[DiggityDawg]

Not exactly the beating I expected lol
Niagara goalie did well

 

[HockeyPops]

From what I’ve heard it is not shoulder related.

D'Intino was practicing in a yellow jersey on Thursday. Taking one time shots with Kudryavtsev and sprinting 400 feet in between. Doesn't look like shoulder. He looked close to returning.

 

[HF92]

Not exactly the beating I expected lol
Niagara goalie did well

I mean it was a beating in all other aspects except the score. Flores played well and it was honestly kind of fun to watch lol.

 

[HF92]

Hounds used D’intino on the game day graphic, so I mean.. he must be playing? lol!

 

[HF92]

No 38 or 26. Going with the extra dman.

 

[DWI Dale]

i think you can say, without hyperbole, this is one of the most important games of the year. going down 6pts to Saggy isn't insurmountable, but it's a big hole to put ourselves in. a win and we're within striking distance.

 

[Houndzfan20]

Haha I haven't seen hache go after anyone that wasn't 16 or over 5'10 all year.

The next 20 minutes of hockey may dictate home ice advantage in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Not a good feeling to play catch-up. In the game today, or the standings. Lots of time left for our Hounds to make some noise this afternoon. More importantly, Lots of games left in the season. Go Hounds!

I just don’t think “home ice advantage “ means as much to the team as it does the fans, going to be honest here.

They have to start trusting themselves and their teammates.

Owen Allard has regressed since WJC so badly it’s not even funny, if only his hockey sense was as fast as his skating speed.

Karki is a non factor on the defensive end of things and plays like he can’t wait for the season to end.

Christopher Brown gets undeserved icetime.

Jack Beck has regressed since deadline, something I didn’t want to post at the time but I felt like this would happen. He was the sheriff in town and ran the team when Barker was hurt ( pre trades ). Everything ran through Beck, but now we have more talent and I feel like he’s still trying to be THAT guy. Needs to just play his game, grip the stick less.

Our PP line 1 is too top heavy

 

[DWI Dale]

tough loss. that one may cost us this spring.

Hopefully just a late season funk with new players and finding the right chemistry. Definitely miss some of the grit we lost. Still time to fine tune before end of regular season.

D’intino expected to be back and Mignosa remains day-to-day. Anybody hear anything on Mignosa’s injury?

 

[Gouin Street]

Hounds play 4 games in next 6 days? I'm excited to see how they play each game.
