First period was ok, second period was horrendous, third period they showed some fight.
Not sure what is up with this team.

Liked the decision to bump Tersigni onto the third line with Petrovsky out. Kid has a high motor and doesn't short anybody on effort. Ethier played another solid game and picked up some extra minutes with whatever injury situation Steen was dealing with. With Sedley out of the lineup he adds some needed puck skill on the back end and I've liked his reads on some of his breakout passes.

Not exactly sure what happened to Steen but he left in the first favoring what seemed like a shoulder? But he returned for the second, didn't seem to play much after his return though. Wouldn't be surprised if he's out tomorrow and Smith comes in. Sedley's injury must be worse than originally thought as his return date keeps getting pushed back.

Flint, MI
Two seasons ago Flint played you guys to 7 games in round 1. For reference if Brennan Othmann doesn’t blow it while in alone in OT of Game 6, they’re in the Finals that year. I just remember being so impressed with Owen Sound that year and everybody I hang out with at games (ex-players, current players, successful youth coaches, parents of NCAA players) all of them agreeing “I wouldn’t want to run into them in the playoffs the next two years.” It just shocks me that DeGray wasn’t able to put it together for at least one of the last two seasons. There was so much potential. To be fair…many teams, Flint included have also totally blown it over that time but I was really hoping that during a Flint off year I would be able to cheer a deep Attack run.

What's up with the team with & without Barlow?

With him 8-12-1. Average 3.15 goals per game.

Without him 10-6-2. Average 4.40 goals a game.

Probably just a coincidence but u do see it sometimes where a guy has such a big name and guys feel pressure to give it to him/defer to him. Especially with high end shooters.

Sounds like an announcement coming for a delayed start due to travel/weather related delays. Game time likely being moved to 3pm.

Votary gets the starts this afternoon. Steen stays in, Sedley taking warm ups. Nansi come in for Waddick, Petrovsky remains out with illness.

Per Sam McCue - OS bus driver took a wrong road and got stuck turning around on ice in a drive way for about an hour. What in the world are they taking back roads in weather like this? Huge red flag.

If main roads are closed then call off the game. We don't need another Swift Current tragedy - ever! It's not like this storm came out of nowhere.
One of Fred Wallace's pet peeves over the years is that the league doesn't ask about the conditions in areas like Owen Sound for the visitors who have to drive to the location, they only care about the conditions in the location. Been that way for a few years,

Sadly, that's the most interesting thing to talk about today. This has to be the the wake up call, its been 2 months of mediocity, the team has way more to offer then what they are offering.

To bad for the team the late arrival really messes stuff up. I do think we would have had you today anyway as we can't seem to do anything wrong right now but being down 5 after the first is pretty tough to come back from.

This was a game that should have been re-scheduled. It put the team at a disadvantage having played the night previous, then having lousy/dangerous road conditions to deal with. The weather network and the MTC both give road reports, and the bus drivers should have the final call as to if and when a journey is unsafe. Taking back roads to circumvent road closures shouldn't ever be an option.
The Knights organization I'm sure, wouldn't have made any objection to a re-scheduled game, and it would have been reciprocated were the situation reversed.
Sure, there was a lop-sided game, but I've got to believe that in this situation, the weather delay contributed to the outcome.
Kudos to the Attack for showing up, and trying.:hockey:

Unfortunate OS couldn't make the call and drive up the night before. Ottawa seemed to arrive in Kitchener without issue.

Owen Sound wasn't going to Kitchener.
The roads from Owen Sound to London can have far different
weather conditions.
And for the record, I drove home after last night's game in OS white outs and heavy drifting in places. Glad both teams made their destination safely.
Keep your thoughts with the Attack who are still on the road as I type . Lots of road closures in Grey County.

Both teams are driving the 6 no matter what though right? Unless they take the 10 to Kitchener? Beyond that, I actually prefer the 23 to most highways in Southern Onatrio. Well maintained because it's used heavily. Either way, unfortunate that they had to deal with that.
