Kingston Frontenacs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[leafs4life94]

Wasn’t Dervin signed for next season? I thought he may get the odd game here or there but he was going to finish the season (and school year) at St Andrews. I imagine yesterday and today may have conflicted with his schedule at St Andrews. They play Shattuck St Mary’s yesterday and today.

Next weekend they are in Groton Mass playing a three game tournament Thursday through Saturday.

Yeah it was mostly for next season but he played with them on Friday so I assumed he'd be with them all weekend on the road.

He didn't play with SAC yesterday, but you're right he's back in their lineup today.

Why does your team struggling in extra time.

Yep I don't know what I was looking at... I swear he wasn't game sheet when I first looked but he's there now. Must be some kind of conspiracy to make look stupid... That's definitely it

I'd have to take a look back through their OT losses but off the top of my head it's defensive lapses and questionable shot selection leading to plays the other way.

What if it's related to the coaching staff putting the same players out who don't get the job done?
Kitchener hit a post and fired a puck into an open cage in the last OT game.

The Fronts coach only trusts a select few, this is why next year is going to be very interesting to watch with him at the helm when he's actually forced to play rookies and 2nd year players.

Hopefully ownership isn't cheaping out on the scouting side of things this hockey season or next year could be dicey

100% agree, but what surprised me is that they gave Dervin got icetime over several other guys - I don't remember seeing Heyes or McNamara out there at all.

Looking back through the OT losses and who's on the ice:
Ottawa - Uens, Battaglia, Soto
Erie - McGowan, Uens, Guindon (PP goal with Burns in the box)
Brantford - Pieniniemi, Battaglia, Hopkins
Niagara - Pieniniemi, Battaglia, McNamara
Kitchener - Uronen, McGowan, Hopkins

Their one OT win it was Guindon, Miedema and Williamson.

Battaglia being on for 3/4 ES OT goals isn't a great look - I get he's their best player offensively but if he doesn't have the puck he's a liability.

That is an absolutely awful major call. Absolutely a minor, but in no world was there any kind of excessive force to warrant a major...

Now Kingston likely loses Burns for a game or two, while Pieniniemi will be gone at the juniors. Wonderful.
