Oshawa Generals 2024-25 Season Thread, Part 1

This whole NCAA situation may change the fortunes of teams overnight. I hope the Gens can nail this one down.

They thought they had him signed as a rookie, had custom sticks made for him, contract was written. Then his mom bought the Milton Menace and turned them into King Rebellion and he then decided to play there and commit to BU

If he is leaving then I don’t see why he’d go USHL, especially if he is a relatively well ranked NHL prospect.

Steven Ellis has Haoxi Wang as his 34th ranked prospect and says some scouts have him as a 1st rounder

I can only imagine the discourse here if they didn't get the extra point after the Barlow between the legs in OT....

That was an incredibly entertaining OT as a neutral.

Would have only been from the negative sky is falling crew. Shooooooot!

A pretty good road game tonight. Sennecke with 4 breakaways in regulation and only scores on 1 of them (that isn't going to happen often) and they still had the lead with 2 minutes left and Ottawa having to pull their goalie. Love the new look Gens PK. Much more aggressive and goes 6/6 tonight against the #2 ranked PP in the league. For anyone who missed it, Ritchie did his disgusting move again, and the Ottawa commentator outed himself as never watching hockey, as he was the only one who didn't see him pull that off in the NHL lol

What will happen first? He realize he did it on purpose OR he stip calling Sennecke, Bennett?

Those Hillebrandt glove saves late the difference tonight. Holy was he huge on that PK. Was kind of surprised how the Gens were able to play right with, and even outplay Barrie, for a lot of that game with how much better Barrie's depth is, but they did so credit to the Gens depth guys tonight. Barrie's already added 5 NHL drafted players to their roster this year while the Gens have only added 1. Barrie looks like the team you're building your team at the deadline to beat in the East right now

Impressive win to end the weekend strong. Excuses were there to be made with the 3rd of a 3-in-3 and a night game in Barrie followed by a day game at home while Kingston was off (I don’t subscribe to the teenagers can’t play a game 3 days in a row idea) but the Gens just came out and had a good game instead. 3-1 against Kingston this year now with 2 being dominant wins. I think the Gens are the best team in the East division and the 2nd best team in the conference behind Barrie at this stage. Add 2 depth F and a stud Dman and this could be a really, really good team

For those calling Torrance a plug just shows they know nothing about hockey. Big body. Blocks shots. Plays great defensively and adds offence. What more do you want?
I like that this coach is playing the 4th line. This will pay off huge down the road for a guy like Rogowski. But ya upgrade some experience in the depth department would be good. Maybe we see big Wang added to the backend in a week or so.

Wild. I've been saying Torrence is better OA over D'Amato for about 6 months now and was laughed at. Glad the intelligent fans knew all along he was a keeper.
