Ottawa 67s 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[sirius67fan]

Mews has never seen a puck that he hasn’t fallen in love with!

Not necessarily a bad thing though!

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

I guess Sudbury still holds the cards but would you want a player that doesn’t want to be there? As soon as their season is over, Musty plays in the AHL. If he prefers that over playing for the Wolves, do you want an uncommitted player like that? I think that is the real question.

Respectfully, your words are uninformed.
Time will tell.

Are you suggesting Musty didn’t hold out when reassigned wanting a trade?

Unless he has had a big change of heart, he still wants out. Players that don’t want to be there typically don’t give a shit in the playoffs.

He’s enjoyed his time in Sudbury and since back he is a great teammate. Less about the team/environment/city but more about winning in his final year…where that is will be determined.

Gerrior on a heater.

Amidovski with a highlight reel first goal. May be a play of the night.

Mackenzie made some really nice saves but JEZUS, he is letting in a lot of bad goals.

MacKenzie has to go. He struggled all night at least 2 bad goals this could be a case of lack of playing time . It's time to just run with Nelson .

I agree the team produced a fair amount of scoring chances but in the end the difference had a lot to do with goaltending. Parsons is what a 20 yr old goalie should provide and MacKenzie is just not instilling any confidence in the team. He should be gone.

I think when Boyd gets this 4 player merry go round figured out things will settle down. It has to be hard on a goalie, especially when he is sitting in the stands and not getting the time on ice.

I have said it all along: the sooner Boyd sorts out the OA situation, the better.

Gerrior is second on the team with goals so hard to release
Mayich is the leader on defence
Mack Who else do we have, and or what 19-year-old is available to back up Nelson
Stonehouse plays a gritty game, but is he the odd man out, and can you find a trade for him, even if it is a late pick?

Boyd put the team in this position. Now, it is time to step up and solve it before Christmas.

That is my assessment as well. You need to either run him out twice a week so he can get on a roll or just go with Nelson. Find an “ok” backup. Rolling him out once a week is just ridiculous at this point. How can he get into a groove?
