Oshawa Generals 2023-24 Season Thread (Part One)

[TuckerFan1]

No, this time no Jake Smith....but this time it's Mike McIvor and a team that is deeper and even tougher than the one Jake played on, and poses far more problems for Oshawa than Ottawa ever did.

Should be a fun series. They haven’t played each other since before the deadline. Interested to see how they match up now.

Sennecke has overtaken Greentree as the Top OHL Forward in the draft on a lot of recent list's i have seen.

More exposure will do that. Greentree will need a big U18 to stay in the top 20.

 

[ScoutLife4]

Sennecke just needs to grow into his body and fill out a bit more / put on some muscle but he's going to be a very good pro hockey player someday.
Greentree definitely has an advantage in that department.
I'd still take Sennecke just above Greentree personally as whoever drafts him going to have him on dietary plan to make sure he bulks up a bit.

Huge congrats to Oster. No way we’re in the East final without his play this season.

Meanwhile Leaver had an .833 over 4 GAA in the Quebec league as an OA

Congrats to Oster! He is a great goalie. Was hoping Michael Simpson would take this award, but Oster clearly is better.

It was 0.883 not 0.833 on what was the worst team in the league by seasons end. Apples and Oranges, not a Leaver fan and Oster was a good decision for Oshawa. Congrats to Oshawa on their success this season, keep it real!

Sennecke is very underrated. Going to be a huge breakout for next season I’m sure. Him and callum Ritchie will be top 5-10 all season long in points im sure with Ritchie making the WJC team and potentially Sennecke as a depth player.

Always have liked the two of them

Also pretty bad but I’m cheering for you guys against North Bay LOL

Hoping for an Oshawa and Saginaw final but we will see what happens.

Hopefully, Northbay gets the shock of their life when they see what a good goaltender they’ll be facing.Take ‘em in four!

Brutal that a thread that was always one of the busiest is on part 1 in the conference finals… Brutal display of power by mods banning everyone who contributes

 

[190 is almost 206]

You’re not still salty are you?

 

[yessir29292]

Huge win

 

[TuckerFan1]

Not the ideal start to period 1 of the ECF, but glad they bounced back to score 4 unanswered

 

[HUSH10]

Beautiful first 2 periods and amazing shutdown defence in the 3rd to take a 2-0 lead heading on the road.

Oshawa has not lost on the road in 66 days. can they keep the momentum going?

 

[OshawaGens39]

Awesome to see the barn completely packed yesterday. Over 6,000 in the building. The NB fan in full blown army gear made my night Salute to the flag during the anthem was so good

Hope Saginaw can get back in the series and make it a 7 gamer.

GO GENS GO!!!!!!

Great game last night. Man that has got to be one of the best games the Generals played all season. Great goaltending from Oster, which was something that was sorely lacking in the series against Sudbury. I counted several examples of goals that would’ve went in on Sudbury, that were stopped by Oster.
The generals didn’t look anything like they did in the first round series, they really seem to have found their stride. Yes, the refereeing was inconsistent, but I thought the majority of the penalties that North Bay took were deserved. From speaking with the Peterborough Petes, former executive, I was told there was nowhere more vile in terms of chirping than in North Bay, and I don’t find it hard to believe. That’s my major gripe against the team, from the lady who told me to F off in the parking lot to the ass clown that was holding up a battalion sign while the wolves were trying to conduct an interview in game four. I’m kind of glad I didn’t notice it at the time because I’m sure I would’ve confronted him and I don’t need any physical altercations at my age that could result in charges although he was probably a p***y that would’ve back down the moment he saw me. There is nothing wrong with cheering your team in another teams building, but a little bit of class goes a long way. I never thought I’d say this, but go Generals go. A little piece of my soul will sing if you can win the series. Just try to get the split and you should be good.

Punnett's knee injury doesn't look good. He may be done for the year. Not good.

 

[HUSH10]

Oshawa maintains their streak on the road.
NB's discipline is their downfall as we saw tonight. Van Steensel likely facing suspension for that late hit on Lockhart.

obviously the biggest concern is Connor Punnett who went down very awkwardly and had his knee go in a position that it naturally shouldn't. We will see what cone of it but Punnett is likely done for at least this series.

Look for McConnell or Rodriguez to start in his place

 

[Nerf27]

Is Greg Theberge drunk ? What is with this idiot ? Maybe your team should stop taking stupid penalties.

 

[Zebra]

Petes fan here-any update on Lockhart ?
Was he ok after the late hit ?

North bay is very dirty and dive a lot.

Huge loss. Big part of the reason why you guys are where you are. Huge pickup at the deadline.

If you guys are up big in game 4 keep sennecke and ritchie off the ice as I’m sure arnsby will go head hunting

Hopefully for your guys case Saginaw can win game 4 so the series goes to atleast 6. That way I’m sure that’ll help you guys on the injury front.

Never thought I’d be cheering for the generals against anyone but the only 2 teams I hate more than you guys are North Bay and London lol. Would love a Oshawa and Saginaw finals.

 

[Lycanthrope]

A little less tonight I wonder where that guy with the sign was tonight lLet’s hope you get out of this series without all your guys be an injured from cheap shots.

It was 5-2

........how would Gens look without Oster and their leading goal scorer...;just sayin'

I fully agree Van Steensel should get more than 1 min and 20 seconds for that hit but based on the precedent of no suspension for Pinelli in game 4 nothing will happen.
