Flint Firebirds 2021-22 Season Thread (Part 2)

[Travis Bickle 77]

Flint the better team tonight no excuses! Firebirds played well!!

 

[Savard18]

No Piercey. No Pitre. Kressler goes down. Tag goes down. Just better depth than Windsor. They have to turn to the Johnston/Cuylle line every other shift. Othmann produced some offense tonight. Looked better but jeez, he still had a couple huge turnovers. 16yo Ethan Hay star of the game tonight in my book. Played a ton and almost all of it heads up vs the best forward in the O. No disrespect to Mason McTavish but Wyatt Johnston is the most dangerous kid in the league in my book. It’s gonna be really tough to finish these guys off if they’re missing all those bodies. Glad to see Bertucci return though.

Playing with fire seemingly working? Down 3, 3, 2 to start the last 3 games and grab 2 Ws. Not the watmy ya draw it up.
B.O. steps up, leads the charge back.
Was Cavilin the difference? Again didn't see the game just scoreboard n last 5 min on radio.

Playing with fire? More like toying with a nuclear reactor. Yes, Cavallin was huge. Again. Firebirds just getting sticks in lanes, blocking shots and admittedly getting a couple bounces too. Then finishing better on their chances this game.

Big road win.

They said Kressler went for some medical attention, hopefully he's back with a full cage Tuesday.

Pitre was walking the concourse Friday night with his brothers, looked like he had a couple stitches on his upper lip.

Bert looked really bad.

 

[N Da No]

Windsor chants backfire. Cavallin named first star of the game tonight in Windsor, stopping 42 of 45 shots in 4-3 win. Series heads back to Flint on Tuesday night with Flint leading 3-2 and the first team able to close out the series, BUT will the rotation of victories every other game continue? Everyone enjoy their Memorial Day holiday.

 

[Savard18]

I swear...you could resurface the ice at the WFCU for a full f*#%ing season using only the tears from like 4-5 posters on the Windsor thread. They hands down out cry all other 19 teams in the league with just novel after novel of excuses. Just tell us your regular season record again and point out how Flint only beats Erie and Saginaw. Man. The series ain’t even close to over yet. Save your tears.

 

[TheGremlin]

I hope Tag is ok. Hate seeing players go down like that. Especially in the playoffs.

Whoever wins the series, the finals begin Friday and Sunday in Hamilton and their fans are already talking past that series and playing in the Memorial Cup

 

[Agent 53]

Looked like the ticket office opened a bit early, got up there slightly before 11 and people were already coming out with tickets. After I got off a conference call headed in to find a good 40+ people in line. Had definitely grown by time I had checked out. A good buzz in the air at the Dort.

Hey congrats to all you loyal Flint supporters, a team that has at times been a little difficult to support. You all deserve the excitement of playoff success now let’s go and “finish” it up! Cheers ….

 

[rangersfansince08]

How has Othmann been?

 

[HockeyPops]

3rd in playoff scoring for the league. Lead his team to a 3-2 conference finals series lead - a team that didn't add at the deadline.

I'd say he's been fantastic.

 

[MJ5]

Sounds like its Medina tonight.

 

[Savard18]

Watching the sights and sounds from game 5 clip on the OHL website, Tag at least appears to be in good spirits at the end of the video. He’s sitting with the doc fist bumping and chatting with the boys as they come off the ice. As critical as I was of Tag early in the season, he’s completely turned it around and has been huge for this team down the stretch and through the playoffs. Having him and Kressler dressed and semi-healthy would be huge. Heard Ted Dent came through the lobby limping REALLY bad. So he might not be 100% tonight either. Hope he can tough it out after being robbed of Coach of the Year.

Hope Flint can finish up the series tonight at home in front of a packed house. I know Saginaw and Flint are rivals, but cant root against a Michigan team vs Windsor.

Dent was limping?

Saw some stuff saying Tag walked through the lobby without a limp, his ankle was wrapped tho.

Heard that about Keppen too. For sure it was Keppen and wrapped heavily. This from an athlete you know who missed 2 1/2 months with an ankle last season. Said Tag seemed to be ok. Don’t know why I’m just now being told this.

Must have rolled an ankle yelling over the center glass at the Owen Sound bench and the coach that refused to shake his hand.

 

[MJ5]

Bertuzzi is in the lineup, but no Kressler, that's a huge blow. Kressler has been really turning it on lately.

Pitre returns as well.

Not sure about packed, but decent hopefully loud crowd.
