Windsor Spitfires 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 6)

[nofriendsinhockey]

1st goal was the result of DiPietro's poor stick position
Why D men try and get their sticks in front of shots is beyond me. Mike had no chance on the 2nd

US will win this tournament

 

[spitsfan24]

Absolutely heart breaking. Mikey played his heart out, and a few unfortunate bounces end team Canada's run. Props to Luukonen, he was kinda overshadowed by Mikey, but he had a real solid night as well.

 

[TheGremlin]

Typical. Mikey got no goal support in windsor and got none in last to games for Canada

 

[TheGremlin]

And why did they chose Comtois to take that penalty shot??

 

[windsor7]

No reason to be bitter. I was as close to down-the-middle for this one as possible.

no way. lol

 

[OHLTG]

no way. lol

No way what? I know you like disagreeing, no matter what, but at least provide some reasoning/detail.

 

[Teflon]

Typical Hunter team. He can’t finish! Feel bad for Mikey.

 

[TheGremlin]

Cody Morgan has an assist on Flint's only goal tonight,as Flint plays Saginaw and is losing 4-1 with 5 minutes left in the 2nd.

Hey just curious how OS did tonight

 

[OHLTG]

Morgan had an assist tonight and was even plus-minus in a 9-1 loss. Went 10-17 on faceoffs, which is good.

Doesnt fit the narrative, so it will not be discussed

Just like no response to the ? of teams that won without it best players away......

They won for a change over an injury riddled team,this coming from a guy who made up excuses for Sudbury.
As for Owen Sound even a blind squirrel catches the odd nut.

 

[windsor7]

Maybe this year windsor will win more games.
1 can hope!

Will similar reasoning apply in a Windsor W without DiPi?
Im sure it will be different factors but ya never know.

Yet their record is 4-3 since their players left. Didn’t make excuses for sudbury. Their back up goalie just isn’t very good. Kinda like our goalies. Can’t win when getting no goaltending.

Also how is winning 4 out of 7 like a blind squirrel finding a nut?? Please explain.

I was talking last 3 games prior to last night,they were hammered pretty good prior.post Christmas.

 

[OHLTG]

For what its worth, there's an article on AM800s site that says WR is done with major deals but a couple minor ones still possible.

So,you admit Sudbury has missed their goalie,which is what I said,I know is what it is but teams miss star players in key positions all the time,its okay to say it's a factor if they lose or go in a slump right?
Teams dont like it but it's a fact.
Look no further then last year in League finals SSM best dman missed last 3 games of series Timmins,if you dont think it was a factor then u dont know the game.

 

[OHLTG]

Assuming nobody is called up for tonight's game, I'd imagine Staios/Henault move up to forward? They've got 10F and 8D that are healthy.

Everything you said is contrary to the point you have made constantly. You don't care about other teams only Windsor. Why do you care now how OS did after Christmas? Never mind we already know the answer to that. You're trying to correlate the trade of DiPietro to a team losing players at the WJ which doesn't make any sense. Moving DiPietro and being outscored 48-29 has nothing to do with any other and how they have played after Christmas.

Pick a 7, 9, 0r 12 game sample size to show how much better Windsor is than their record shows. Or better yet waste a lot of time typing up a 430 word soliloquy dedicated to me trying to get some laughs. Or try your best to stick up Letowski as if he's some type of tragic hero. Or better yet tell us how 3 Memorial Cups in 10 years make up for any drought of playoff success. Or tell us that it doesn't matter if you get the edge in calls by the officials it only matters if you take advantage of them.

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Let me take this one. If the Spits won 4 of 7 he would say it's proof of how the team is improving and how great Letowski is.

 

[OHLTG]

Sudbury in town tonight. A chance to see Quinton Byfield. Would have been nice to see Luukkonen, too, but he's got other business to finnish up.

I’ve never disagreed about Sudbury. I stayed away from that cause goalies are much harder to overcome the loss of. And you can’t use a 3 game sample size when your argument is losing players to WJC tourney when they have played 7 games (6 or 5 when you started discussion). Lot easier to lose a forward and or Dman and over come it then it is losing a number 1 top of the league goalie. If you don’t think so then you don’t know the game.

Also if the Soo had above average goaltending they would have won probably won that series.

Yes I got the spelling thing - It took me a while to Finnish reading it though.
