Windsor Spitfires 2021-22 Season Thread (Part 5)

[2023]

Wow.
Thinking 2 max.
Was he repeat offender?
Selfish play on his behalf.

clean hit. Watch it closely! The other kid had his head down and zito just went through the kid. The league has no choice but to give him 5 games.

Dirty hit.
Hit to head.

Glad we have an expert to clarify everything for the rest of us.

League thinks it was bad. Hit not needed in hockey.
Suspension.

 

[OHLTG]

The league isn't exactly the best for "is this hit good or not?", regardless of suspension length.

That said, it'll be good to see Miedema on a line with Johnston and Maggio tonight.

 

[hockeylegend11]

Only lineup change dman Bronson Ride in
Zito- out
Spits going with 11F,7D,2G
Mathias Onuska not surprisingly gets the start in goal.

 

[Cherrydon]

I'm hoping D'amico is moved back down the lineup with his team worst plus/minus. Not fair for Johnston who has been a stud all season be punished with someone who can't keep up. Team owes him a chance to win the scoring title. You don't see McDavid carrying a true 3rd/4th liner all game.

 

[Ferda11]

His previous 2 appearances were 29 minutes and almost 39 minutes before that.
His 1st game he played 9 plus minutes.

Ya you’re right. Seasoned vet. Sarnia was so fortunate to have him start last night, what a break.

 

[aresknights]

Only those who have experienced Covid will realize what I am saying and it matters if a team has been affected, just because cancellations occurred doesn't mean 100% good to go.

I don't think you can make that claim for everyone who has had it. I know a good # that have had and a few didnt even know, some with minor symptoms n no effect physically, some it was tough.
Add in the demographic.......
But ya no doubt some may have not been at 100% but no different than cleared to play after another illness or injury that may be lingering

You don't see McDavid carrying a true 3rd/4th liner all game.

Bunting - Matthews - Kase
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Kerfoot - Kampf - Nylander

hey when you’re a stud, you’re a stud. You make everyone else around you better. Should the coaching staff put him with other players to fluff his stats? It’s about winning games.

Bunting - Matthews - Kase
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Kerfoot - Kampf - Nylander

Lol Nylander is a 1st liner on most teams

 

[HockeyPops]

That's the point. Matthews carrying Kase. Tavares carrying Mikheyev.

 

[2023]

That's the point. Matthews carrying Kase. Tavares carrying Mikheyev.

so how do those guys do in playoffs??

 

[Cherrydon]

We need to start a go fund me account for Onuska to get rid of those Knights pads lol

 

[Cherrydon]

Strong 1st period

 

[ohloutsider]

Fingers crossed, good start. 40 minutes more of that would be nice.

 

[windsor7]

Windsor caught a..Guelph asleep this game. Best not to wake them.

 

[lazyboy]

We need to start a go fund me account for Onuska to get rid of those Knights pads lol

I'm in! Any other team's colour I could let slide

 

[Teflon]

Damn did someone blow up lol?!?! Sarnia game, Spits forwards didn’t show up for most of this game, going to have trouble in playoffs if a tight checking team smothers you like that! D not great as usual. Onuska ok once he settled.
Tonight’s game. Great hockey first 2. Not so much on third. Onuska will want that one back and they have frankly laid down here so far in third! PP BRUTAL tonight!!
Zito suspension is a joke end of story.

cmon guys 60 min please!!!

 

[OHLTG]

3-2 Windsor final. Not a great goal (first) for Onuska but he played well overall. Take the weekend sweep and move onto the next.

 

[Cherrydon]

Got closer at the end. Onuska fairly strong game Johnston the beast tonight. Good road win. Game not as close as the score indicated thanks to Bennett. A couple players on the Spits looked lost and uninspired but I'll let you point them out.

3-2 Windsor final. Not a great goal (first) for Onuska but he played well overall. Take the weekend sweep and move onto the next.

Agreed,take the weekend sweep,better team by 2 out of 3 periods, power play struggled for the 1st time in a awhile, no concerns,solid game from Onuska, proving to be a solid addition at the deadline, low cost,good reward.
Wyatt Johnston excellent game after 2 games that were so-. so.
Guelph certainly did not impress me tonight for a team rested and waiting.
Only a strong performance from their goalie 1st 2 periods saved a bad beating.
Spits now 2-0 vs Guelph this year and both games won by backups.
Guelph has only scored 2-5 on 5 goals vs Windsor this year in 2 games.
Liked the game tonight from Abraham, Miedema, Maillet, Christopoulis and Currie, Perrott and Ribau at times struggled again tonight.

 

[windsor7]

Windsor with the 2 points. Get ready for next week.
They won a tight dull game.
Johnston played well.
Forwards came back on defence.
Damico no idea what he was doing.
Henault usual hockey. Wont change. Coaching staff turns blind eye.
Pp stunk up the place.
Guelph missed a lot of shots on net. Either Windsor lucky or thankful.
Windsor was better team tonight.

 

[tomschman]

I rather the team get shut out on the PP and win as opposed to scoring 5 on the PP and lose.
