Oshawa Generals 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[backwoods]

Very solid encouraging game last nite. They out worked and out muscled kitchener for most of the game. In my eyes they dominated them in their own barn. Let's carry this forward to Friday in Guelph . Good job boys

 

[HUSH10]

I said when they had 24 games left they would need to go 14-4-4-2 to have a shot at first.

Gens have started on the right path of the needed record above. They are currently 6-1-0-1 in their last 8 with 16 games left to go.

I see Oshawa winning the East. However, can someone explain to me your road record, only winning 11 of 24? You've beaten the top teams on the road, yet overall, anything but road warriors.

None of us play for them. Crazy stat.

 

[backwoods]

Oshawa seems to play down to their competition especially on the road. Hopefully that trend doesn't continue 2nite in Guelph

As we've seen in Kingston too....everyone else around us (Barrie, Osh, Brant) are all doing well so creating any separation is going to come down to head to heads . The top 4 teams are either 8-2 or 7-3 in the last 10

It does feel like every night all the teams are winning. Even when you think a loss is coming, the competition in the standings finds a way to get a point.

 

[backwoods]

This is not the same team that played on Tuesday all I'm gonna say.. sad they are making Guelph look good once again.

 

[HUSH10]

Good teams find a way to win bad hockey games and that was in fact a bad hockey game by Oshawa. I've never a seen a team score 7 goals play that badly. They really only played 1 full period of hockey tonight.

 

[backwoods]

Is powell hurt?

 

[Pragmatron]

Horrible game tonight. The Generals are not playing any discernible system, relying on individual talent. Which they have, but it won’t take them far in the playoffs.

This team reminds me of the 2011/12 team. On paper a very talented team, but no cohesion.

 

[HUSH10]

I feel that was 2 games in a row where Oshawa really only playes 1 period of hockey, the second period. Let looked a but lethargic at most times tonight only getting sprits of energy. Gillespie never really felt in trouble tonight. Tough game. Luckily Kingston and Barrie lost tonight to keep Oshawa in 1st place.

Barrie and Kingston may have lost, however; they both gained points on Oshawa in the SO.

True. Barrie 2 games in hand and 1 point back. Kingston 1 game in hand and 1 point back.

Think Barrie finishes first overall. Kingston probably has the hardest schedule the rest of the way in the OHL. Going to be very tough I think we finish 4/5/6 for sure. Oshawa I believe has a somewhat hard schedule as well? May be wrong but believe I heard that somewhere.

1-6 is going to be so tight. Maybe 1-7 but we will see.

really tight standings in the east with the top 4. Brantford is now 1st after winning this afternoon. They are the hottest team right now and there special teams are probably the best in the league !
Oshawa has a tough stretch coming up. At this point any one of those top 4 teams can win the east.

 

[backwoods]

Hope the generals show up 2day and show some serious work ethic unlike Saturdays pathetic performance.. like I said on here a month ago that Brantford was the team to watch and they are Def the beast of the East rite now they way they are playing.

 

[backwoods]

This coach can't help himself but constantly shuffling the lines. Tough getting any chemistry going

 

[HUSH10]

In the 12 games remaining for Oshawa, they have a really tough next 5 games and then the schedule softening up for the last 7.

The Gens are currently on place to finish 41-21-4-2 which is 88 pts. That means they would need to finish with a 7-4-1-0. That will not be enough to secure 1st in this division.

Realistically they need to finish the last 12 games with a 9-2-1-0 record to put them at 92 points which also may not be enough but gives them a better chance.

Starts tonight in Erie followed by Kingston(H), Brantford(A), London(H) and Brampton (A). No easy task.

That’s a tough stretch of games. Good luck.

 

[HUSH10]

No Barlow or Ozzie tonight making the night a little bit tougher

Unable to watch Generals games. Would appreciate an update on Wang. Seeing increased ice time? Showing improvement? Thanks.
