Guelph Storm 2018-19 Season Thread

[Alex K]

Guys, who watches Guelph, how's Chayka?

 

[Northernstormfan]

Nobody have anything to say about last night's game against Kitchener?
I thought they played a well disciplined game last night.

 

[TrueBlueStorm]

Chayka has been playing well- looks like a good 2 way defenceman. Still learning when to jump up/ pinch and when to drop back but that's to be expected. Has a +4 . Usually paired with 2nd year D Mark Woolley .

Anyone have a scoop on trade info that Saxon mentioned on Twitter?

Heard it was Primeau to Soo but he wants to stay in GTA...... Apparently has asked for a move. It was for Demeo, As he is being shopped.

 

[Packman]

Wonder why Primeau wants to move?

 

[HockeyHero96]

cause he's isnt getting top minutes

 

[Packman]

Does his play warrant top minutes?

 

[Fudgeo]

Does his play warrant top minutes?

Absolutely not. He's even had some time on the top line.

I see what you did there.

 

[hocknow]

Question? How come out of our first 13 players, 9 are MINUS amd only 4 are PLUS. If we are that bad at even strength then how can we go deep into the playoffs if opponents are disciplined and stay out of the box. Just a question.

Three times this past week - 3 goal leads given up. What changes need to be made? Because some changes do need to be made.

Primeau is not prioritizing his development as a hockey player in that case. No team has had more success than the Greyhounds in developing talent. Lots of unhearalded and late round guy making the NHL, even undrafted OHL players like Gaudet and Villalta.

BINGO !

 

[StormWatcher]

Everybody knows this team's weakness is on the defensive side. Be patient for trades that address that end of the game.

 

[Molson Muscle]

Question becomes how much change is needed and at what cost? It is great that the team is competing for a top spot this year but I do not want to drop back to a bottom team next year for a one year run. Championship run a few years ago was great, the following years were painful. I would like to see the "patience that the fans were asked to have" result in more than one year of competitiveness.

I believe Bert and Primeau will shine .. .. not under this admin though.

 

[Bra Wavers]

An upgrade in goaltending would be a start. Too many late game shots that should be had are squeaking through. This may improve as the season goes on, but if it doesn’t?

constant 2 or-3 0n ones don't help.. and an D that stands around watching the attack develope..6's are wild..screening...doesn't help either.
