Huh. That’s an odd one. Just checked the OHL site. Looks like no supplemental discipline for Slavicek’s or Giroux’s 5 minute major match penalties. Shocking. 🙄
2 of the worst majors I've ever seen.

Wonder if Stojkov actually ends up reporting, a 12th for his rights, and now to try and do some convincing.

Yeah. I wonder if they’re thinking this year or next? D’Amato is their only 04 D and they’re losing Kuzmin and Deline. I mean if they go after a big time D this year, it’s possible they have to give up Petrovski or Bertucci. I also wonder just where Stojkov is in his development too. I can’t imagine he’s gonna come slot into the top 4 and save the franchise or something.

Are the Spitfires starting a goalie collection? They’ve got like 6 in the org now even with Medina gone. Glad Ian found a potential spot and Flint received sonething for him. 13th Round!!! The same round that has brought you Amadeus Lombardi and Samuel Assinewai.

Actually Windsor has 9 goalies in the organization, ages in brackets,Onuska(20l,Costanzo (17),Michelone (18),Altiman(17),Froggett(16),
Frasca(16),Branton(17),Augustine (17) ,
Bouck (18).
After Onuska,the next 5 are new the organization this year,Branton,Augustine were drafted last year, and Augustine has committed to Michigan State after decommitting from U of M at start of hockey season.
Bouck was drafted last year in the same U18 draft that Flint drafted Michelone.
Windsor did gave 9 goalies at training camp this year
Some people collect stamps,we collect goalies lol.

Four Firebirds listed. Pitre, Bertucci, Hay and Day. I was discussing the possibility of Petrovski getting some looks too with a friend as we watched the last home game. We’ll see if he can move his way up onto some lists this year.

Petrovski's birthday is later in the year, his draft yr is 2024, otherwise I think you would see his name on the list.

Oh. I didn’t realize he was a late birthday. I think Flint’s #1 priority is a stud D that handles his own end well while producing some/a lot of offense. I find it unlikely Flint moves Kaden Pitre. So that leaves 17yo’s as the top bait in a trade if picks alone can’t get the deal done. I’m concerned that Petrovski might be the guy. I really don’t want to see him, Bertucci or especially Hay moved in that scenario. Flint only has two Michigan kids, so I don’t want to see Pitters gone either but it’s more than possible one of them is required to land the big fish at the deadline.

If Bertucci is out long term, I think they need to add a vet damn, playing Gee and Jenken isnt a long term solution.
Well, nailed that one apparently. Not that he's a vet, but straight from the horses mouth, Bertucci is banged up, and they went and got some depth. He will dress Wednesday night (1:10 of video).

Typically a team won't trade a player if they are still attending high school, which I believe Bertucci, Hay and Petrovski are still attending. Not saying it doesn't happen. But there is more to consider if they do.

Well so much for that.



Pitters apparently in the lineup, Bertucci a late scratch.

Dominant win despite the always…..,ALWAYS incorrect prognostications of some so called Flint “fans”. Solid night from Cranley except for one. The kids looked good. Kressler being back is huge. Monster night for him. Saginaw will remain a night to night threat until the trade deadline but I think they’ve been living on smoke and mirrors. You gotta stop pucks from going in your net at least once in awhile. Looking forward to seeing Bertucci back and Stojkov in the lineup soon.
