Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[EvenSteven]

Ya, haven't seen a scrum like that for awhile. Maybe some suspensions from that?

Maybe to the Otter player with the sucker shot on Bileck I think. Royston?

 

[Ranger77]

Swick gave the first slash that started it.

Looked like the Erie player shot the puck down toward the Ranger end after the buzzer and that riled up the Rangers. THen the slashing started.

But it wasn’t even on net and looked like a simple icing type clear. Of course it’s hard to tell hundreds of miles away.

There was a few loose arms at the end, lol. League doesn't like that stuff so I'm sure they will look at the replay. Also isn't there a rule about a fight in the last 2 minutes of the game? Might be an issue for both teams?

If they hand out fighting majors.

If that player doesn’t shoot the puck after the buzzer then nothing happens. Don’t be a poor loser and get off the ice.

Ok, it will be on the game summary then?

 

[Ward Cornell]

Not that small. 4 foot 17 .

And I'm 150lbs 720 ounces

Also, there is a widening gap between the top three teams and the rest in this conference. (I type this prior to the game against Erie mind you). Adding a player (or two) gives this team a shot at the West final. However, if that happens, of course the next hurdle is what we're all well aware of.

That gap just got wider. This was a four point game tonight. The gap is 17 points now. We’d have to nose dive hard for Erie to close that gap - especially with Schaefer out long term.

Yes I looked, maybe tomorrow before they update it, past their bedtime.

They’re updating it now. They have to be able to sign off on the officiating report.

 

[Matttheleaf]

Only Ranger penalties on it so far and Ando has a 5 for fighting

Otter ones are there now too.

 

[EvenSteven]

So I suppose fighting after the game is over is good for a suspension? And was that Ando’s fourth fight?

 

[All the Answers]

Swick gave the first slash that started it.

According to Ahokas, Royston sucker punch on Ellinas started it. Admittedly I could not see what lit the powder keg.

 

[Krangers08]

Headrick was fun to watch tonight. Even stood up Edwards at the blue line

 

[Coaches Coroner]

The fight could be an issue, but Ando sitting for going over the cap was inevitable.

Only other things that looked suspension worthy was the multiple lumber jack swings by Fimis and whoever through the sucker punch from the Erie player after. I'm surprised there was that much chaos but no misconducts on top of everything (for those involved and for the enlightening conversations that were had).

got the ref straight across the back with the one

Royston will probably get some supplemental discipline for sure as he came over the top ropes with the cheap shot that really set everything off. He also got the worst of it as he left the ice gushing blood needing attention.

When you get scrums like that, you have to start worrying. Sucker punches. Skates, etc.
I didn’t see Ando fighting in that replay though I’m only watching it on my phone. But after the sucker punch, Bilecki engaged and fought I thought with Royston.

For those who missed the ending of the game, this one was free on Youtube:

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

That will depend on the demand for Nordh. Not a lot of teams looking for imports I wouldn’t think at the deadline. Most cintenders look to be set in that department. We could use one. Flint may want to upgrade if they are actually buying. Maybe Oshawa might want to improve on one of their ‘06 imports.

Past that, though I can’t be say that I’m an expert on all the imports in the east, there may not be many teams, looking to upgrade their import slot. And that will affect the price.

Sudbury has an open spot

 

[OMG67]

Old time hockey.

Dave’s a killer!

 

[Matttheleaf]

I know that people have mentioned the connection between the Sens and Bulldogs because of their owner but according to Josh Brown in his last article the team has been sold.
"The hot rumour out of Brantford is that Michael Andlauer has sold the squad. The announcement is expected later this month. A Toronto area developer that has a long history with the GTHL is reportedly taking the reins."

Earlier in the game, Otters tried to gang up on Headrick to one side of their net. Rangers to the rescue including Bilecki who was there in a flash for his team mate.
