Sudbury Wolves 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 2)

[djscooter]

They were dirty all night. Trying to intimate the wolves. Funny tho, they left Carson alone. Wonder why...

Would have been nice to see our more physical players show up in the 3rd and stick up for others. Hutchinson might as well have been in the stands :\

Hard fought win. Im not a fan of hitting people from behind but Barrie seems to have an abundance of players who chose to do this on a regular basis. Slashing, crosschecking, punching all from behind. Maybe its me but I was always taught if your going to fight someone man up and face them. Blindside hit by Clarke with 10 seconds to go deserves a suspension. The Barrie coach should be ashamed of himself.
Wolves in the second seemed to forget how to receive a pass.
Congratulations to Weeks

Not alot of shots on net tonight. Need more this weekend. Tough trip.

Win but it sure feels like a loss against a team full of thugs.

Hopefully byfield is not injured after that headshot at the end of the game. League really needs to step in. Refs tonight should be out of a job.

Wolves had 6 PP’s (1 for 6) to Barrie’s 3, and the play you’re taking about the guy got 5 and a game and will likely be suspended? I’m not sure what more you want the refs to do?

Plus I guess Hutch could have jumped onto the ice after Q was hit, but probably wanted to avoid the Automatic suspension..

I guess I missed rule changes

Goalie can push the net off the moorings to end a play at will
Goalies can blocker players in the back of the head
Slashing a stick out of Byfields hands is a valid tactic to defend him.
Crosschecking a skater trying to get to the front of the net is a valid way to box him out.

My bad.

Funny you mention pushing the net off the moorings as UPL was one of the worst at doing it last year..

You’re nitpicking

I'm sorry, you're right, this was the best-officiated game I've seen in my 15 years of season tickets. The refs definitely did not let it get out of hand and turn into a shit show.

Great game Weeks!

 

[justawolfan]

With all the suspect officiating and even though it was like we were skating in cement during the second period, we need to celebrate Weeks' play tonight! He really needed to show the team what he can bring and this may be his coming out game. Nice to feel like we may have a goalie to count on for those needed stops.

 

[AttackSound]

Wonder if any Wolves fans will be taking in the game in Owen Sound tomorrow?

 

[WolvesFan]

Can’t say enough about Weeks tonight! He play VERY well imo. Came up with the stops when we needed him too!

2 things:

1. I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but can someone please show the guy running Sound how to actually run the sound system... it’s absolutely horrendous!!

2. Refs were flat out terrible tonight, that’s all I have to say on that matter.

All in all, we played hard and came away with W, lets go and get 2 more this weekend!

Go Wolves Go!!

probably not, especially if there still isn’t any bites after third time asking! maybe I’m wrong. Carry On!

It's true although sometimes posters don't make decisions till last minute or even the day of, myself have done that on trips and do surp of the moment decisions.

I wanna get on the Weeks hype train, I really do...but he's been so inconsistent it's tough. Got yanked twice against Kitchener, most recently this past Monday after a great start in Missy.

I wanna see him string a few good starts together before really buying in, but I can certainly see the ability is in there somewhere. He got invited to an NHL rookie camp for a reason.

For Sure! I totally see where you are coming from, I am guarded as well. However, he played very well tonight!

 

[cub]

I didn't have to chance to watch game, but was happy to see Manikis get opportunity on first line, and made the best of it. Good to see Weeks have a good game, I really think he could be the guy, just needs some consistency and games under his belt. He is big, agile, and good technically. I hope they give him a stretch of games as our number #1.

 

[WaW]

Stupid and dirty. I think Pezzetta got 13 games for one of these a few years ago. It should be at least that much, but at the very least he shouldn't be allowed to play again until Byfield is cleared from concussion protocol. That's the only way you can truly stop this garbage.

Classic Barrie play, always the dirtiest f'n team in the league.

 

[dirty12]

13 games for a Drysdale type top (16 yr old D) first time offender does not seem right to me. 5 is probably appropriate, 8 if the league sees it as an attempt to injure a premier player.

Jeez, I realized it was high but he flat out just put his elbow into his head.

Ultimately the way the rule should be is that he shouldn't be able to play again before Byfield can.

They were dirty all night. They should suspend the coach as well for letting his players play so irresponsible Just sayin..

Disagree. He gets off with one game if Byfield plays tonight or tomorrow? All dangerous bits should be reviewed and compared to previous dangerous hits and discipline; and, if the player is a repeat offender.

No, there should certainly be a minimum. But the maximum should be inability to play until the victim can.

 

[bcspragu]

That's a horrible idea. What if the "victim" is some 4th liner or call up instead of Byfield? Nothing stops the team from sitting the kid a few extra games as a precaution. To many ways to game the system.

Did anyone go after Clarke after this? Taking a couple off the chin is a bigger deterrent than a handful of meaningless regular season games imo.
