I saw the "T" and my mind went to Teflon. Sorry about that lol agreed on the linesmen, too. I dont think he intended contact, nor did he make any, but more of a gesture. Janssen did it often.
Windsor Spitfires 2018-19 Thread (Part 7)

One thing not discussed which bears mentioning is no Playfair last night. Missed the game against Saginaw due to concussion symptoms and missing another game and just coming back from a concussion missing over a month. Obviously you want him healthy but this is probably going to be a concern going forward with him.

Good point... Playfair was discussed a fair bit at the rink but I forgot to bring it up on here after. I don't know whether he's out long-term or if he came back too soon.. not sure what the deal is. What's most important with him is to get healthy.

On another note - if folks are interested in some still shots from the two fights last night, I added them at the end of my album (they're in reverse order and extras that I can't use) - Windsor Spitfires 2018-19
Actually I spoke to both Playfair and newcomer Ben Garagan last night,Garagan hopes to play tonight at Kitchener, Playfair feels he might be ready for Sunday, apparently not concussed but an upper body injury

That's actually good to hear. I've seen concussions before (up close) and the last thing you think about is hockey.

I thought the Douglas fight was better, in terms of willingness throughout. Duff was a very willing guy, which surprised Douglas the start. We all kind of chuckled because, when we saw Douglas get challenged, his eyes kind of went to "are you sure?" That fight was all Douglas. Duff tried and got in a couple of shots, but Douglas swung the right to hurt and, best guess, throw a half dozen or so big rights. To Duff's credit, he didn't go down. They fell at the end because of slipping. I'd definitely score it a win for Douglas.
Allen and Henry - not sure how that started, but they squared-off. Allen threw a LOT of left jabs, which you could tell affected Henry a bit. He kept putting his chin down and protecting while still trying to throw. Allen was much more open and waiting. Not a ton of shots thrown in this one, at least not to the extent of the Douglas fight. Henry got one really good uppercut in that caught Allen, but Allen shook it off. It didn't seem to phase him a whole lot. The linesmen went to separate them, for some reason, and Allen gave them the "back off" motion. They didn't listen and separated anyway. I'd give Allen the edge for sure; he was more in control, had his head up for the majority, and landed more. Henry did land the uppercut, which prevents this from being a bigger win for Allen.

You know it's a weird game when the Kitchener TV announcers are saying Piiroinen isn't getting any puck luck. 4-2 Rangers, but the bounces... oh those bounces!

I was watching the Ottawa game ( there was no other good game to watch) and the Ottawa crew never mentioned it once. You would think someone on their broadcast crew would be aware of this. Anyway Congrats Mikey!

Congrats to Mikey!! Well deserved and glad he was able to get it before the season ended.
7-4 loss tonight in Kitchener. A couple of late goals made it respectable. The old cliche "puck bounces" was the story tonight. I'm sure there were a couple that Piiroinen would like back, but that puck was ugly.
Damiani had five points (first career five-assist game) to put him over the century mark as a Ranger. Foudy and Frasca had a pair of points for Windsor.

So when Windsor losses it bounces.
When the bounces go windsors way its a good win. Hmmmm
Kitchener did get some bounces even their announcers said so. Not the only reason the spits lost.

Kari should have had firstb2 goals. I have no clue what Staios was doing on the 3rd goal but kari made big save and staios stood there and watched the guy guy score off of rebound. And he was standing right next to the guy.
Game was total opposite from last night it seemed. Must have been a cute girl sitting by penalty box cause Douglas made that his 2nd home tonight.
Hope to see Incze start against saginaw and hope the boys have a little better effort on the backend.

Haha not what I meant. I'd take a shutout, too. I just meant that a lot of the goals were defensive issues.
