Kingston Frontenacs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[GoFronts]

I just don't understand how you play THAT good of a game on Friday night and then come into Oshawa and drop an absolute stinker like that. We're playing like a last place team every single time we go to Oshawa. Mentally weak and undisciplined every single time. It's embarrassing.

Yikes

I almost think if you took everything about Oshawa - players, coaches, building etc and just changed the name and jersey Kingston would have a better shot. They just fall apart against them and their only hope of anything in the playoffs is if Oshawa gets knocked out before they meet with Kingston (assuming Kingston doesn't choke in the 1st round.

I'll be curious to see what the 5v5 shots were - especially after Betts came in. He got absolutely peppered on the PP and there's not much you can do when Sennecke is given as much room as he was tonight.

They need to get their shit together this week for a good Barrie team coming in on Friday.

Trade goalies for every game we have lost vs Oshawa and we win. Friday and today are perfect examples. For that matter, you could almost say that about 90 percent of our losses this year. Either trade for a goalie or let Betts try to take the reigns. The two incumbents are not better.

Edit Maybe not the other blow out loss.

Ludwinski healthy scratch I believe. 14 games 1 assist.

5 games last year and 0 points. 19 total games played 1 assist. Clearly not ready for the AHL. Would be nice if he got sent back to kingston. That would be huge- we wouldn’t have to go wasting picks on another top line C like Allard while getting a big boost and a familiar face.

I think it would be smart for him to come back to kingston and get some confidence back up. Maybe try out the NCAA next year if that’s allowed and then try the pros again.

Ludwinski is a real pro so he cannot go NCAA. If anything he should be in the echl. But I am sure they have a reason.

Ludwinksi isn't coming back to Kingston. They wouldn't have named Burns captain if they had any inkling he would be. The CHI GM told the Fronts in the summer to proceed on the basis that he will not be playing in Kingston 24-25

They were 5 of 7 on the PP. The 3rd overall NHL pick got 6 points. Another 1st round NHL player racked up a tonne of points, the fronts had 50 shots -- probably 70 shot attempts in total with the amount of missed shots -- it wasn't just the goalies - their PK was awful

5 for 7 on the PP for the Gens -- that's what is embarrassing. They had 50 shots on net vs Oster. "mentally weak" is a rather harsh statement to make about young men playing a game
