Flint Firebirds 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 2)

[three dog night]

Just drove by the Meridian Centre Flint has arrived already .

 

[Toldyaso]

I know it is just someone's opinion but nice to see the team get recognized for their hard work.

 

[nelli27]

So you guys scored 12 goals the other night? I have a feeling that you'll top that tonight.
I'll say: Flint 14 Niagara 1.

Game has trap written all over it.

12 game losing streak, 13 game winning streak, for some reason we called up a 3rd string goalie, win the first 2 of the weekend chance to possibly jump Kitchener Saturday night. Last time we reached the top 10 we lost 2 in a row I think.

I think it's going to be much closer then the steaks indicate. Really hope I'm wrong, but I think this might be tight for 2 periods.

Exactly what I was thinking. Keep the foot on the gas boys. Do not think you can coast against any team from here on out.

Durham (a LOT), McCourt (a little) and Dellandrea have been quiet for the last few/more than a few games. Might see that change tonight and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Morrison in the ice or bench either.

Why wouldn't you be surprised?

 

[Toldyaso]

It's flu season wouldn't surprise me if someone has a bug. I haven't heard anything but it happens around this time every year.

 

[Savard18]

Why wouldn't you be surprised?

Oh, just to give him a look and reps now vs two theoretically easier teams (Missy is doing ok) just in case Poppy or Cav have issues heading into or during the playoffs. I can’t think of another reason to call him up unless one of those two ARE actually hurt or sick. Which is possible seeing how everybody on this half of the continent seems to have something right now.

 

[MJ5]

Cavallin out.

 

[dirty12]

Any word on Keppen?

 

[MJ5]

Great game, but only 1 of 68. Nothing more and nothing less.

 

[MJ5]

Any word on Keppen?

Post game interview Popovich mentioned he should be back soon.

 

[jprenkert]

Hope they can keep this up. Currently 2nd in the West after Sagnasty lost in OT to Barrie tonight. Remember when some peeps only said 4th was the best they could get?!?

 

[TcNorth]

Mississauga is next in this one game at a time attitude. No looking ahead. Way to go Firebirds!

 

[TcNorth]

Popovich was outstanding!

 

[Gensdef]

Awesome run the Birds are on, but have to keep going. The West lead is within reach dispite what the nay sayers think. GO BIRDS!!!!

 

[Buttsy]

Fine rub it in....... LOL

Anyone here anything about Osentyuk. Heard he may have suffered an eye injury last nite. If so not liking injury bug hitting again,

They suggested that on the broadcast last night and they replay made it look like it could have been. He certainly made it look dramatic leaving the ice and it didn’t look good but....he’s made stuff look dramatic before and been fine shortly after so for everybody’s sake, let’s hope that’s the case. With Keppen out, Oksentyuk maybe?, Morrison up I think Missy is the trap game. I wasn’t too worried about Niagara but I wouldn’t look past Mississauga. McCourt got going last night but Ty is in a bit of a tiny, short lull and Durham is in a drought again. Outside of the 12 goal outburst against Sarnia where he had 1g 2a, Jake has 0g 1a in his last 10.

Well just pulled up the game on OHL live and he took the high stick at around the 13 minute mark in the 3rd and he took a shift on that powerplay and took regular shifts the rest of the game so I'm gonna say he's OK.

 

[Savard18]

No, it was the one with 3:01 to go and I didn’t catch a return if he did.
