Ottawa 67s 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

Aw for the dcays when Bruce Garrioch and Barry Campbell covered the team. I am sure that there are plenty of witnesses from both teams and possibly the officials.

My only hope is that this was not the last game we see Mayich play in. Mann and DC are big boys and can deal with it. mayich let his emotions get in the way. Smce he is probably finished this weekend let him go out playing his last game not sitting int he stands or travelling home.

There's actually 3 occasions now DC has went after a opposing coach after a game that have had incident reports submitted to the league by officials.
This is going to be interesting to see how this pans out for everyone.
 
This is an excerpt from Sportsnet 2025 ranking Sportsnet's 2025 NHL Draft Rankings: March Edition

What about the CHL/NCAA situation? How, if at all, will that dynamic impact the draft?

Will the signing period for CHL players remain at two years or will the time period extend to four years, as it is with players picked out of the NCAA? Will NHL teams have this information before the draft in Los Angeles?

Will the NCAA bend on whether or not signed players can participate in NCAA hockey, or will all professionally signed players have to remain in their respective junior leagues or the AHL?

At this point there seems to be more questions than answers.

How would a 4 year window work with CHL players that are not university bound? I can see it extending to CIAU or college hockey but for the kid that did not have the marks or desire what does he do? Can they sign with a non affiliated ECHL team and still be eligible. That is just going ot be a mess.

Will the new rules take effect this draft I am wiling to bet they will what ever they are and if not before the draft it will be backdated to include them.

There is absolutely NO WAY the NCAA is going to change their positon on players and Pro leagues. That would kill then with the NFL and NBA.

The other thing is player agents. Most of these kids in the CHL have an agent that is registered as an agent with the NHL and NHLPA. NCAA rules state you can have an advisor but not an AGENT.

So useing Mews as an example. He is playing in the CHL when drafted therefore he is on the 2 year plan. His agent works to see if he can get Mews a contract with the Flames.

They come to an agreement Mews signs he is back in the OH this year and possibly next NO NCAA

They donot come to an agreement and Calgary decides it wants to wait. Based on Agent rule he can not go NCAA. Same a NBA player the opts for the draft once drafted they can not go back the NCAA.

That is why you see the kids drafted that re NCAA bound declaring that hey are going back to university and not playing.
 
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.
Come on - local radio guys are always homers. It's part of the act. My God, I listen to clips of home team NFL radio broadcasts during the football season on NFL Network, and even they are shameless homers. Dean and Gord are also for the Sens broadcasts. Kenny actually makes me laugh more when he goes after the officiating, which he is guaranteed to do about ten times a broadcast. Heck, he even criticizes the off-ice officials for the shot counts in visiting arenas...😆

Weird how Agranderson says Mann went after Mayich but everyone else even the 67S seems to agree Cameron went after Troy.
There is no question that before DC went at the officials on the ice and the dust up with Mann off the ice, Man was screaming at Mayich. I turned to my wife and said 'that's not good, coaches should never engage with players like that'. Yeah, I guess it was funny to talk trash to DC about the world juniors, but I don't think DC was ever fired for divulging team scouting reports to opposition teams like Mann did in Bellevegas.

Wild how they continued to pay him for a year and a half after firing him for something that would have been breach of contract and grounds for termination.
There is a massive difference between firing and termination.
One you choose to go another direction and continue to pay that person because you had no legal grounds to teriminate.

What you are describing is grounds for termination in every pro contract which they obviously had no proof of or they would have went that way!
Only people that don't understand how contracts work believed that shit.

Mann was telling Mayich to "GTFO" when he was trying to cause crap after the Uronen celebration - while he shouldn't engage, Mayich was yapping away so Mann yapped back. And before you say anything, I was there sitting at that end and saw it all play out.

Kenny is over the top. No doubtbthere! Great voice and play by play. If we had a colour guy with Lenny sticking to play by llay, it would be good.
 
Houben has FOUR points on the season and is centring the 2nd line with Gerrior and Whitehead. Dever is centring the 3rd line with Barlas and Brady (a D-Man).

I thought they were trying to make the playoffs? Is Houben Kimi Korbler 2.0? Houben is at best “serviceable.” Maybe he can play a defensive role as the #4 centre? Maybe?

Listen, I am not unhappy throwing in the towel but at least try not to make it look obvious!

Bot sure what to say. I still think making the playoffs is the wrong thing but hey. NB seems to be helping lol It could be al over tonigth anwith all the playoff positions set. Sat and Sunday may just be making time.

It will not be over tonight even if NB wins. Ottawa can still make it to the tie breaker if they win their last 2 games and NB loses Sunday. Tie breaker would be on Tuesday.
 
The players and coaching staff want to make the playoffs. That should not be a surprise.

If a team wants to miss the playoffs, that job falls on the GM setting up the team in a way that makes it tough for them to make the playoffs.

As fans, I know many of us prefer the team miss the playoffs, get into the draft lottery and hope we manage to move up in the draft. But, that is not the focus, nor should it be the focus for the players and coaching staff. They get paid to compete and are evaluated based on their ability to do so every game. I would not expect anything different. In fact, I respect the fact they managed continue finding ways to win. IT reflects positively on the team.

So, as fans, we should want them to win but not more than North Bay. Fortunately, NB has also been impressive.
