Flint Firebirds 2021-22 Season Thread (Part 2)

[Toldyaso]

They played 4 games in 7 days last week. That a lot of hockey. 3 in 3 days on the road this weekend as well. tough part of the schedule.

Well deserved

For real. Probably his best month as a Firebird ever.

Flint slips to the HM list on the CHL’s Top 10 rankings but Slavicek’s killer wraparound goal in his Generals jersey makes the OHL’s plays of the week list to go along with Cavallin’s accolades.

OK this is just ridiculous. I certainly get banning any competitive association with Russia and Beloruss such as the Russia CHL series that was canceled however cutting off Russian and Belorussian kids from the import draft is just ridiculous, pointless posturing at the expense of completely innocent parties. That's just my opinion and if anyone disagrees with that than good for you but it is wrong and they shouldn't have done that.

Could be a tough weekend for our Firebirds. I would be somewhat happy with a 1-1-1. Hoping for better. Dent will have them playing hard.

Lots of travel this weekend and sleeping on the bus. Tonight after the game they will travel back to Flint, get home 4-5am, likely a practice Sat afternoon, game at 7. Travel to Guelph Sat night arrive at hotel 2am - 3am, be at the rink for 2pm. Then travel back to Flint arrive home 12am. Exhausting weekend.

They play in Erie tomorrow night at 7 so this is inaccurate.

Big game from Cavallin, Lalonde was equally impressive.

Probably get into Guelph around 1-2am, get a decent nights sleep and then back at it.

Curious to see if they give Day the game tomorrow or Michelone the game Sunday, or they ride Cavallin for all 3.

Nail-biter, but great win. 3-2 Flint in Erie.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen. I gotta think they give Day a shot at redemption tomorrow. Probably don’t want to start him or Michelone vs Pastujov and Guelph.

 

[Savard18]

Well, they technically gained on them tonight but Windsor, Soo and Guelph all went extra and picked up a point.

You may want to have another look at the schedule.

Oops, I was thinking Sat's game was back at the Dort. I was wrong

Well, who’s been able to keep track this year anyway with all the changes?

Are we even playing hockey? I swear someone said everything was going to be shutdown because of the border in December.

Right and seeing as how this team isn't going anywhere the way devil spawn Rolf and TC have cursed everything..... Oh wait! We're in first place? How can that be? LOL.

World must have ended.

This is all a dream.

Edit: tweet has been deleted. It was from Rick Westhead. It said that Terry Christienson is suspended and under investigation by the OHL for makink an inappropriate racial comment about a player

[Savard18]

They played the Spitfires the day before. Racial? Medina. Given TC’s history, this kind of thing isn’t shocking. Time to be smart and move on from him Rolf. Hiring him in the first place was questionable.

 

[MJ5]

Yeah, we would all rather this guy be gone. As long as it wasn't anyone on ice, couldn't care less what actually happens to this dude.
