Perhaps but I’d like to see all the teams that would love to have them and what they would give for them. To me the Wolves are not an ideal fit for them this season. We would do much better with an offence and defensive OA that could really help propel a playoff push. Once again the league is much softer now.
You’re not suggesting the playoffs are contingent on keeping the Pilons are you? That’s a stretch.
The Pilons do fit the team, I would hate to see them go, a lot of heart and energy, unfortunately they might have to go, because the scorers cant score, Niz, Levin, Carson, wish we could trade them, why would a team want them.
Well I understand your frustration but they have really been snake bitten. When you’re ringing it off posts etc you’re right there and (hopefully) the law of averages comes into play. Of course they can also do a lot to improve their chances of success too, coaches come in here. Ultimately the team is trying and are motivated, hopefully the rest falls into place. Also Ukko is going to have to better than average consistently, which is to be expected from a top ranked goalie. Tough weekend outscored 9-2. Not a great way to bring in the fair weather fans.
O'bonsawin was already sitting. Our wingers were Levin, Carson, Pilon, Pilon, Robinson, Hutcheson, Niz, McConville
Makes sense. Gilhulla monster just came back and didn’t look bad so you can’t sit him. At least I wouldn’t think so.
So? Nothing against McConville but I’d sit him out of that list.
Pretty much this. I had heard maybe early November for Malik?Well Sudbury has two very important games this weekend. Haven't really played well at home. Why they can't play with the same energy as on the road is beyond me but regardless some keys to any chance of victory for this weekend,
1-Ukko needs to be stellar
2-Sudbury needs to shut down two of the top scorers in the league in Saigeon and Kaliyev. But can't forget Strome and Entwisttle. So they need to have a strong defensive game and forwards need to be skating hard to not get caught up ice. Candella, Stratis needs to be more selective when to move into the offensive zone cause Hamilton will make them pay on turnovers. Saturday they must key in on Robertson. He is dangerous anytime in the offensive zone. Kingston can't be underestimated.
3-Puck pursuit. Sudbury needs to elevate their game. They must have the legs moving and putting pressure on the Hamilton defence.
4-Finish! Our scorers need to score plain and simple. Carson, Niz, Levin, Murray, Byfield need to find the net. Hutchison, Bulitka, need to have strong games also.
5-O'Bonswin should be sent down. No requirement for him to be with the big club. He was a dman last year and converted to forward this year. Why Sudbury has held onto him when other players in camp should have taken that spot.
6-60 minutes. The Wolves need to play from puck drop to the last horn. The league is too competitive to take periods off. Must limit mistakes and turnovers. Mental mistakes are costing this team.
Hope they don't stink the joint out this weekend. Will be a real shame if they did when fans were just starting to get excited again and bandwagon jumpers were slowly jumping back on. Some old faces starting to appear
BTW- Any word on Malik? The news out of the Wolves den has been minimal. Seems like a blackout is in effect from our news outlets.
