Windsor Spitfires 2021-22 Season Thread, Part 7

[RayzorIsDull]

And as always with a but or how about this guy.

I answered your question and responded with one in kind.

 

[windsor7]

They got Perrott to replace Ladd, which has been beneficial at both ends, but who else would you have added? Strangely, the team itself has said they're not doing their own jobs, so it looks like it's more "the systems work and we're just not doing what we need to" instead of "yeah, we need help."

They did half of it.
A guy that clears out the opposition infront of net be nice.
Goalie can make more saves if they actually see the puck.

 

[hockeylegend11]

You do know it takes 2 to make a trade
dont you?
How do know they didn't try but found the price to pay was too high, ie mortgaging the future.
Unless you were in on the calls you dont know.

Perrott is as "crease clearer" as you'll get. The only other guy I would have really wanted as Xhekaj, but he went home to Hamilton. Who else would you have targeted?

My my my how attitudes change. So critical when other teams don't go for it but when it comes to the Spits. Whoops no surprise.

Perrott not doing it then..

 

[OHLTG]

Regarding the game tonight...

Medina starts, Baisov/O'F/Peer are out. 11F/7D.

 

[hockeylegend11]

Zito back in the lineup for Windsor
Not dressed are Peer,Baisov and O'Flaherty .
Medina in goal.

 

[windsor7]

Medina gets start.
Baisov scratched again. Glad he got 1 start in awhile....

 

[spits]

Regarding the McDonald trade, how can anyone have an issue with that trade when the team is the highest scoring in the entire CHL?

Don't like when they do the 11 forwards because they usually have Johnston centering the 4th line. That's fine in theory but it's too much ice time and fatigue becomes a factor. It will be difficult to win today and tomorrow on the road, I'd be content with one win.

Maybe but he hasn’t been nearly as good defensively here as he was in OS in my opinion.

Especially when Johnston on penalty kill, pp and his normal many shifts.
Plays a lot

 

[Cherrydon]

Xhekaj + 37 Perrott +3 would have been nice to get him over Hamilton but gotta look at the cost as well

People can downplay +- but when you're a -9 and the only guys worse are Ribau and Peer you're not a crease clearer.

Plays to much

[OHLTG]

Having a questionable +/- doesn't mean you're not a crease-clearer

That said, we could go back-and-forth all day, but the club's in first place with back-to-back in SSM heading into the last weekend in March. How many predicted that? I'm guessing not many. I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this success.

Perrott is a -3 when Medina has been goal and a -6 when Onuska has been the goalie.
Regarding Medina,he has played 12 games since Perrott arrived.
In the 1st ten games Medina was in goal Perrott was a 0 re plus minus.
Then in Medina's 11th game the 7-1 loss at Guelph Perrott finished -3
The last game where Onuska got pulled Perrott was a -4 on the night in the 1st 31 minutes, when Medina came in and allowed no goals Perrott of course not ice for any goals for or against.

 

[windsor7]

As long as the offense kerps it up.
It can hide the defensive miscues Windsor has.

 

[TheGremlin]

I guess its always the goalies fault for some unless it is Medina. Also during that same game Sobolev was a +5. Perrott partner only other Spit a minus that game. Perrott and Ribua just went good that game.

 

[windsor7]

At least the game on tv tonight.

 

[windsor7]

Medina should of had that one..

 

[OHLTG]

The first one was a defensive breakdown. Second one looked screened.

Worth noting - SSM TV says the Hounds had three days off this week to heal/rest up before resuming practice on Wed. No games since Sat. Even THEY said this is a well-rested team.

 

[spits]

Medina should have saved that 2nd goal.
