You missed my points... like... all of them.
Combination of playing a much better team and not playing to their ability. Maybe the latter is a by product of the above. Either way we got some good playoff hockey runs the last couple of years. Hard to compete when the team has double the NHL draft picks. Until there is a change to the defecting player scenario this will be the norm every year. And kudos to working the system. I think if Oster wasn’t an OA they’d start Gravelle tonight. Not blaming Ozzy as his D has not been great but a change up would be in the cards. What do you have to lose?
Agreed. Is Osters swan song. I did say when Gravelle started the 3rd that if Oshawa somehow came back and won, you'd be forced to run Gravelle game 5.
You guys looked good in game 1 and 2. Maybe to many breakdowns 3, and 4?
Ya no surprise there. Hey we had a couple good years of playoff hockey. Hard to compete with a roster like that. Maybe with the arena upgrades some of the refusing to report all stars will end up here lol. Rocco should have some money to burn after 2 long playoff runs. To the rebuild we watch. Have a good summer man.
Well said - not going to beat that Team with 13 NHL Draft picks.
Congratulations to the Generals for a great season and playoff which, in many other years, would have resulted in the trophy. They ran into a juggernaut in a very determined Knights team. I thought it was very classy Oster shaking the officials' hands after the game knowing it was his final game in the league
No it can't. If it could the Generals would have won if amount of money is a measure of success.
Disagree..... Donald Trump happens to be living proof that any amount of money just can't buy "CLASS" !
When players refuse to report pre draft to any team but them and/or demand trades to them it’s not money or effective GM’ing. Nothing wrong with the Hunters. They are good at what they do. If the league wants parody then they have to step in and say report to who drafts you or play somewhere else. If a top player gets drafted and demands a trade then the team that trades for said player loses their first round pick. It’s obvious the league doesn’t care about parody. Are those the right answers? I don’t know. But like I said good on the Hunters as they’ve built a program where kids want to go so none of these super teams in London will go away. Roger Hunt is a great GM. He has a very good track record on the player side. As many have noted in a year different than this year Oshawa may have won. Don’t agree with what was done about coaching this year but the Laxdal leaving was a shock to the organization. Anyways it’s junior hockey. It’s a sport it’s entertaining and I will continue to watch as I am more focused on seeing players develop. Sure love the team I cheer for to win but love seeing a kid like Anthony Cirelli go from being a walk on to a pro. Thats the sport I love. Enjoy the summer. Cheers.
This season mostly comes down to coaching in my opinion. Not saying Malone is was a bad coach. But a real good coach would have acknowledged the skill but presented some basics. Say what you want about Hunter but he’s gifted all the skill in the league and he works with it. That team combined all of the tools.
