Here’s a curve ball I wasn’t exiting hear!! Source tells me Bowler and Savard are at odds and not getting along much. Not willing to share specifics but I completely trust the info! Might answer some questions.
Good win, easily could have had a couple more. Still love to see a complete game from this team, might make them scary to play!! Still have concerns but the wins keep them at a simmer lol.​

Savard can stay Bowler can go. I can't see Savard winning that battle though. Agreed on your thoughts.

Interesting.
With Medina cant stay healthy, it could be a possibility.

Did Medina reinjure his groin? I thought someone mentioned it was COVID?

As far as I know, it was covid protocol.

Yes broken femur ,had emergency surgery recovery 4 months minimum

 

[Cherrydon]

That's really sucks for the Soo and him. Hate to see that kind of injury for anyone.

Against all the negative on this site.......Maggio has really improved this season!
(Henault is improving as well!)
Possibly Savard is starting to break down the "Old Boys Club", and is teaching hard work really pays off.

Have to say, Maggio has really impressed me as well. Those 2 seconds for him are starting to look like a steal to me.

I've read through the thread a bit and watched a couple games this year, but what do you guys think of Zitos play this season?

 

[stips]

Zito has played just fine this year. He works hard to get into scoring positions. He also is dependable on the back check, and a good skater. He also is tough.

The one negative is taking careless suspensions.

 

[OHLTG]

I like Zito's game. He's not going to win any scoring titles but he puts up some points, hits, defends teammates, and is a leader. They said he was a Spitfires' kind of player when they drafted him and it's hard to argue that.

 

[Teflon]

Really like Zito. Maggs has definitely improved a bunch! Henault is an ok offensive D man but he’s a D man and makes far to many defensive errors, refuses to clear his net… he would have been the guy I moved to forward when we were short. Frankly he’s a defensive liability.

Agree with pretty much all of what you wrote,would have entertained idea of putting Henault upfront when short upfront.

OHL player of the month - 2 months in a row - Wyatt Johnston! Congrats!

I remember discussion on here ( including myself) that though the Spits were taking a reach picking him 6th overall. Guess we were all wrong.

 

[OHLTG]

He's in beast mode. Keep him with Cuylle and let's have some fun!

Johnston is so good that even I like him! The real deal.

Warren Rychel's last 1st rd picks has turned out to be one of his best.

My hope is that they keep Cuylle/Johnston together the rest of the way and let the magic happen. Next season, Johnston/Maggio/?? and do the same thing.

I would agree,and looking ahead to next year,great line would be Johnston, Maggio and Zito.

Cuylle, Johnston, Maggio... Good chemistry on the PP. One of the better lines in the league.

 

[HockeyPops]

Does anyone think Maggio might get a look for the draft this summer. I know it's his D+1 but that kid has speed to burn and he's putting up the points too
