Ottawa 67s 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[gadder]

With Stonehouse back Cameron is choosing Gerrior over MacK. As the Steelheads have scored a tonne of goals, this will be quite the test for Nelson. If he does well, maybe it's more proof we can move on from Mack.

Personally, I would prefer to keep MacK BUT if they do decide to trade Pinelli, Stonehouse becomes somewhat of a replacement for him up front. It makes that deal not quite as painful. For that reason, I am sort of leaning towards moving MacK. At least Nelson would have had a half season under MacK. Hopefully he will have extracted a lot of information.

 

[AGranderson]

Tonight my guess would be

Pinelli/Foster/Houben
Gerrior/Dever/Stonehouse
Barlas/Whitehead/Kelly
Amidovski/Ekberg/Yani

Korbler- Injured

Mayich/Mews
Marelli/Horner
Brady/Dietsch

Eshkawogan- Team Canada

Nelson
Conway

Mackenzie- Scratched

I would say I nailed that

It’s clear DC wants Dever to play centre on two lines he does every night when that 4th line gets a shift it’s Dever Centreing it.

Big test for Nelson tonight against a very good Brampton team. Not only Nelson but once again the D are up for a big test as well a lot of star power on this Brampton team. Looking forward to getting into my seat for puck drop. Going to be great to see stonehouse up to his typical shenanigans tonight I think we were missing a pest like him but that being said he has to stay out of the box as our Pk is a serious issue

As an update, Ekberg isn’t out for warmup as far as I can tell.

Great game through 2. Lots of chances for both teams. Brampton’s goal was a little in the soft side but Nelson has looked good otherwise.

Stonehouse is looking pretty close to his usual self - involved all over. This is certainly the strongest our forward group has looked this year I think, and that’s without Ekberg (who hasn’t returned after missing warmup). Lines were shuffled for the second and Stonehouse was up with Pinelli and Foster. Horner spent the second period back up front with Gerrior and Denver. Yanni has looked good in his return with somewhat limited ice.
