Ottawa 67s 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

I hear you but it was still a bit excessive and fueled the situation.
I guess the Refs were already pretty pissed at DC as he berated them after a blown penalty call end of third period.
The video is actually pretty funny at the end all you hear is "Nice job at World JR's Dave" from Troy and 20 people start laughing lol.
Was there for this, also seen the video floating around, Troy was the agitator in this by going at Mayich after the game in the hal way than Dave got wind of it & came at Troy, I think Troy will be fined heavily this one was definitely a Troy at fault not just saying that as a 67 fan
 
In these situations the league tends to say, "a pox on both your houses" and fines or suspends both coaches. And really, both coaches have blame to shoulder here. That kind of crap makes the league look bad, so expect some "supplementary discipline" for both organizations. Mann broke a cardinal rule - coaches don't talk to opposing players. And, needless to say, Cameron then made a bad situation worse, and TBH a lot of his anger was fueled by the frustrating season his team has had...
 
In better 67's news, looks like Ryan White has delayed his NCAA commitment by a year and will be back in Ottawa for 2025-26. He is a 2007 birthday, so you potentially have him for two, maybe three more seasons. Small, but a good skater and with nice skills with the puck. He's kind of a poor man's Henry Mews at this point, with hope that he can develop into the real article. Good pickup...

DC going to Troy’s office to confront him for telling Mayich to GTFA from his players
was what caused this. No need for it and he obviously went there looking for problems.
Wtf was Mayich even doing skating towards a whole team celebrating their win like that? Just a stupid move.

We will see what happens!
Nice to see Dino Dave with a bit of passion for once though!

Meh. Just boys being boys. No harm, no foul. If I were in the league office looking at discipline, it would just be a fine. Sometimes shit just boils over.
 
Considering that we are at med week I think the league is going to laylow on this. You donot want to affect a first place battle by suspending a coach. I think there will be slaps on the wrist but that is all.

I think DC was more upset at all thepeople laughing at him as well as the way his team is playing although let's face it we are not a great team to begin with.

DC probably hers the press and the boards and probably a few fans at games adn know that he isnot safe. That is also going to weigh on him.

Kingston has 4 games left at most. Pinelli is probably already packed for his trip to the AHL. Foster may be the same way not sure.

ONe of the things I hoped they would resolve with the renovation was having both teams use the same tunnel. There have been some interesting fights in the tunnel. Mayich should know better but again his OHL careeer is coming to an end on a team that is going no where. A player that no one supposedly wanted in there drive to the cup.

Could’ve used that passion at the WJC!

Yep. Should only be a fine if anything. If people get suspended for this that is softer than baby shit

Probably also a big kick in the face going from an nhl team to an OHL team then becoming a joke around the league
 
The question is why did he come back. Did he come back to finish his career in Canada or did he come backthinking he might work his wayto the NHL or AHL.

RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY Ithink the WJC along with the outcome here along with his age may have hurt him on the second part.

ONly time will tell. Iagree with both @OMG67 and others that no matter what the decison has to be made before the draft so that players an agentsknow what is happening here.

I would think that the powers that be have been looking at who they could get if it is the end or if he stays.

For me, it depends on what they do. If they only replace the Coach, then they can do that at the end of the season. Same if they are replacing only Boyd from the management team. They will have staff in place for continuity.

But if they are replacing more than that, meaning they are overhauling, it will be tough to do that and participate in the draft sort of blind. They would at least need to keep Egert if they are pulling the trigger on both Boyd and Cameron at the end of the season. That wouldn’t be an overhaul.

I don’t think this is a cut and dry as you may make it sound. I agree there are issues but there are also issues if they dump the entire management and coaching staff prior to the draft. Maybe Washkurak could run it but that isn’t ideal. I guess it depends on how advanced their draft lists are. Usually the draft lists aren‘t fully mature until after the OHL Cup. That ends on the 28th. They probably need a few days after that to prepare the preliminary lists for the draft. I think they would at least need that.

If this were one owner, the trigger would be pulled this week. As a corporate entity, OSEG needs to know how the STH renewals are going and what the feedback is from that program. I expect that means a report and several meetings of the Renewals Task Group. Been there, done that. They should also hear from the recruiting side of things. Meanwhile, RedBlacks, Atletico, BlackJacks, Charge, etc. are all getting focus.

Deluded patsies like myself just pays our money and prepares for a loooonnnnggg summer. Others are perhaps less understated.

As for how DC came to be here, I am a firm believer that the Old Boys Club is still in full operation, as evidenced by the WJC slots. JB was co-coach with DC in St. Mikes in 2011 and DC needed a job for whatever reason. He has a rep and was taking over a pretty solid core of players. The next guy here has no such luxury.

My beef was always the choice of DC, not the man himself. He certainly has a resume, but the 67s needed a young up-and-comer to recharge things. They still do.

For once? You must have missed when he and the coach of the Petes had a good screaming match in the hallway after a game. (Either last season or two seasons ago - can't remember which.) In that instance the League issued a "stern warning" to both clubs, but neither coach got suspended. Maybe that's what ends up happening here given that it is Thursday and we haven't heard anything from the league formally.

Don't get it twisted about Cameron - yes, he can come across as the absent minded professor from time to time, but he's a former pro hockey player, and from the era when the game was a fair bit less civilized than it is now. He's every bit as competitive as Dale Hunter or any other coach...

I bet we hear something today, The zoom call with the league just happened yesterday.
I'm guessing it's more then a stern warning for zoom calls to take place.

Does anyone have a video link?

My thought is just DC ASAP. Agents are more interested in who is going to be developing their players and that is the guy on the bench and on the ice at practices.

Yes if they wanted they could release both but yeah the challenge ther is that the new GM is gong to want to name the new coach unless you are looking at 1 guy doing both with Egert and others supporting. Not that I want that but it is a possible choice

Good points.

Initially, my issue was James Boyd. I have been pleasantly surprised at how effective “overall” he has been. However, I don’t think he measures up to the enquired expectations for a bigger organization like the 67’s. I think his style of managing is more suitable for the small to medium sized markets rather than the bigger markets that have the potential of attracting more players. And, that is something he has not done to the degree necessary as well. It is great that kids like White and Kingwell decided to commit to Ottawa but what we really need are kids like Barnett Bros and Vandenberg. We need more elite commmittments.

Tourigny leaving when he did was a bit of a kick in the teeth because we needed a replacement quick. DC was available and Boyd was familiar with him so it did make sense to bring him in. But, now after four years, we can manage the next hire with more time allowance to do so.

And that is my point exactly. They need to decide what they want to do and then do that. They can’t do it piecemeal. They need to decide if Egert would be the guy to step into Boyd’s shoes or not. If they decide that they need a new management “team,” then that presents a problem. This is why there may be some timing issues to deal with and I am not sure how that would all hash out.
 

Weird how Agranderson says Mann went after Mayich but everyone else even the 67S seems to agree Cameron went after Troy.

Brennan is a shill for the two hockey teams. He won’t ever print anything that isn’t somewhat slanted positively no matter the situation. Plus, we don’t really have any “dedicated” hockey writers covering the 67’s consistently anymore. We used to get good coverage in the French Paper (Le Droit) but a retirement sorta killed that.
 
It's interesting, though - Brennan has managed to get under the skin of both Bob Dyce (REDBLACKS coach) and Carla MacLeod of the Charge with some questions they didn't like or weren't expecting. With the 67's, though, I always get the sense that he, and other media for that matter, pull their punches a bit due to the fact that they are covering teenagers...

I would have loved to hear No Balls Walls version of the events.
Biggest homer since Jack Edwards and dresses even worse the he did.
