Tough one last night to lose a regulation win with less then 2 seconds left and have it end so quickly in OT. Thought both teams were playing quality hockey, tight game, but once Barrie tied it up so close to the buzzer I was afraid it was a missed opportunity. Steelheads don't fare well with 3 on 3 OT.

Fluke win over the last place team. All season I was hoping that when this team finally got healthy they would look like contenders. No chance they are doing any damage in the playoffs with the way they defend and take dumb penalties.
Oh how I miss Charlie Callaghan.

Kamaris is out for 2 games for a crosscheck.
Crazy line combos last night, JR has to be sending a message.
The PK and PP have been under performing, and add in the unnecessary penalties, these guys need to shape up soon or it could very well be a first round exit.
I thought for sure oetes were going too go 0 for 3 this weekend but something seems off with the steelheads

Time for a JR report card:
GM: Trades D
Rehkopf cost a lot, but one could argue that he has produced and warranted the 10 picks given up (3 seconds, 3 thirds, +)
Sova not worth a second and two fourths for a 20 year old dman who can’t defend and hasn’t out scored Finn Harding
Gibbons cost a fourth and a sixth: released
Alriksson cost a second and two thirds. At the time it seemed like a good buy, but he hasn’t produced at the level he was in Guelph - this one is on the coach
Gillespie - a second and a third for a marginal improvement over Gibbons.
Smith - this may be the biggest stinker of them all. 7 picks for a 20 year old who hasn’t scored a point in 11 games since the trade and hasn’t improved our defensive play one bit.
Coaching F
For a team ranked #1 in the country after the first week of the season to missing out on the top 16 most recent OHL power rankings. That’s some feat.
Oh, and he plays his kid rather than developing Troy Patton.
The owner needs to step up and do the right thing.

Richmond would be my nominee for worst GMOY. I don’t think the steelheads had a real chance of contending (this season) with Misa, MacDonell, and Karmiris as the centres.
With the possible exception of deciding to play with one OA for ~30 games, Richmond’s greatest blunder imo was releasing the team’s best defensive forward in LeFebvre in favour of Leskovar.
