Oshawa Generals 2023-24 Season Thread (Part One)

[HUSH10]

Beckett Sennecke, Connor Punnett and Matt Buckley all remain out for the Gens. 3 big losses

All 3 remain out for game 2. Could be another long night

Was a fun run. Can’t expect much out of this team anymore. No comparison to the out of lineups for London. This was not a go for it year hence the depth not being there. This is all house money.

Oster scares me. He can steal games.

Agreed. The whole playoff run as been excellent to build experience for next year when Oshawa makes a deep run. This team will be exciting next year and as you said, playing with house money right now.

True. But the lineup without the 3 is very undermanned. The young kids played the best they could to beat North Bay in game 7 but don’t think they have that consistency to make this much of a series. Oster could steal one at home but that’s about it. Unless a miracle happens and the three come back this is done. Just being realistic. Punnet looks like his season is done. Sennecke has a concussion so he is very well done. Buckley shoulder I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear off season surgery Next year I expect something as this year I didn’t. Hopefully they are not all 8 1 losses but would not surprise me.

London sure looks like they play on a different level than any other team in the OHL

Things don’t look good.

 

[HUSH10]

Turning this off, it's too hard to watch unfortunately.

The Knights play more a pro hockey style than any OHL team. Dale Hunter coaches those players to become pros when they make it to the NHL. That is why there are tons of NHL players and more upcoming draft picks coming out of that NHL production factory like London.

Its unfortunate that Sennecke, Buckley, And Punnett are injured right now. Their absence have pretty much taken its toll on the Gens.

Hopefully some players back on Monday

Love the confidence and they did beat Sag 4-2 but by no means are they leaps and bounds better. Time will tell

 

[frontsfan67]

As a fan of neither team I gotta say I feel for you guys. I didn’t think you’d win even with sennecke, Buckley and punnett in but this is unreal with them out.

I agree. Watching that series the big difference was reigning ohl playoff mvp Michael Simpson.

The hunters definitely know what they’re doing bringing him in- what a player. Very solid.

Would be surprised if any of them returned. Punnett could barely skate in gm 7, pretty sure he was dressed for moral support and for the off chance gm 7 ended up being his last OHL game. Sennecke and Buckley will be very important for this team next season. Sucks to say, but if either of them aren’t even remotely close to healthy, don’t even bother rushing them out there.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

As a knights fan that was hard to watch. Hockey is a blood sport, if you’re not strong enough to hold on to your lunch money the better team will take it from you. I have been in the visitors rink a few times when it hasn’t ended well, Guelph 2019 when we lost game 6 and were up 3-0 in the series to start.

It’s great to see the Oshawa support, you are a great fan base and are in for a good few years. The team kept their composure despite the situation, shows maturity.

I hope all your players return healthy for game 3, it’s junior hockey, anything can happen.

 

[HUSH10]

Sennecke is out
Buckley is in
Punnett is GTD

Sennecke is out

Punnett is GTD

Kinda, sorta, maybe good news for them n the faithful?

Always feel for the kids who have a season end while watching from the stands, moreso in the POs and worse yet in finals.
Hopefully good to go.

Oshawa showing some life. They say not to worry until you lose on home ice.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Oster is mediocre but if the Generals could cleat the puck that goal woulfn't have happened.

The most Mediocre Goalie of the Year I guess....

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He blows the 4th goal because he had no idea where the puck was.

Aaaand another bad goal. 6-6.

 

[trellaine201]

Wholly collapse batman. London can turn it on whenever they want apparently.

As good as London is. This is more of an Oshawa collapse rather than a London comeback

Unreal. This OT is gonna be good

This is almost similar to a Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl like collapse where they thought they had the won the Super Bowl in the 4th until the New England Patriots came back and won the Super Bowl in OT. Then again some have compared the Knights to the Patriots of the OHL.

 

[frontsfan67]

Wow that was super close by Lockhart. Just missed by less than a foot on tv angle.

I imagine most London fans haven’t watched a ton of Oster throughout the season/playoffs thus far but you have to admit he’s been extremely mediocre in this series. London is a wagon but to beat them you need your star goalie to get you through a 3rd period like that one calmly.

 

[frontsfan67]

Unreal


I assume sennecke will still be out for game 4 probably?
