Owen Sound Attack 2024-25 Season, Part I

[Donnie740]

i posted the barlow trade a month earlier that you denied, i was right, i dont need to go down this road again, one of us has a history of being correct, one of us cant even post in his own teams thread.

Factually incorrect, my friend. I never once denied that Barlow would be traded to Oshawa.

I explained how it would be an overpay for the Generals and leave them with a thin blueline as well as only two lines up front. I also detailed how Roger Hunt typically finds value and doesn’t make foolish overpay trades.

That’s the difference between providing tangible analysis rather than just regurgitating what someone else spoon fed.

so you can post on your own teams thread then...?

sorry, let me ask you. You were all
Over the goalies of the 08 draft. told me I was wrong about all the top goalies, cool.

But as soon as the 08 draft is done and a kid you promoted all year is drafted to Owen sound your on here now all the time. You’re worried about who backup goalies are and goalie coaches are….

Interesting dots.

LOL. I thought you had me on ignore because I also called you out on your holier-then-thou opinions in this years draft thread a while back and here we are again? I call a spade a spade because you have a bully-ish attitude, nothing more. I have zero investments in the players of this birth year or any other team personally, so connect the dots all you want, its a weird and big stretch tbh. But...... ANYONE is allowed to post to any teams thread on this website if they so choose and for you to demand others to go and post elsewhere when their opinion doesnt align with yours needs to be called out, again.

of course they are, and again, it’s out there for all to look at. dads hate me brocade I say little Johnny isn’t as good as the other little Johnny, that’s generally the ones that have the biggest issues with me.

So let me ask you, how do you go from carrying so much about 08 goalies to now carrying so much about the backup goalies in Owen sound and the goalie coach in Owen sound, if not because of a draft pick , which most would assume it is. He’ll, looking back at your posts a month ago you kept stats of all the goalies and said the 08 was the best, what a coincidence!

As I’ve said to others, if you think I’m being very mean to you, go call a moderator and tell them, I will happily deal with the ramifications.

Konnor Smith gets the "C"

 

[leafsrdue]

Back to Attack business, interesting choice for C. Which OA gets moved now?

No Tersigni tonight. Gates draws in for Mikus. George in net.

 

[leafsrdue]

Already done.....

Please elaborate

What he won't say is #24 is not listed on the gamesheet for tonight's game. Why he is so cryptic all the time is beyond me...

Too many OA

 

[leafsrdue]

Too many OA

They can rotate them in for a while right? Don't think anything is done yet but #24 might be on the bubble

Consider this.

1 OA was named C today.
Another was named A today.
The 3rd OA was obtained this summer thru trade.

Who will they rotate ?

Once the Dman obtained in yesterday's blockbuster trade is healthy, they would roster 8 defenceman. They will only dress 6 and they recently cut another dman to make room for aforementioned traded dman .

We can all see where this is heading .

The 'business' of junior hockey is certainly not fair at times .

Giving Smith the C doesn’t preclude him from being traded later this year.

Barrie traded their OA captain to Oshawa last year.

He’s listed as a scratch? He’s not gone from the roster. He may get there, probably will, but it’s not like they’ve taken him off the roster

Now THAT was a hell of an effort tonight from the boys. Defensive structure in both the D and neutral zone was suffocatingly impressive. Rafi with a skillful first OHL goal, I'm very happy for him. Not to mention the same for Nansi (FINALLY) after being snake bitten for over a year. George was fantastic to say the least, so was Konnor Smith besides that first Brantford goal. God I love this team. No one check in on Oshawa tonight lol. (PS: rumblings are that #24 is most likely the odd man out when it comes to the overage situation despite a *potential* Konnor Smith trade happening before the trade deadline).

Another really fun and entertaining hockey game. The Attack puck pursuit is relentless and I love it. This style of hockey is so enjoyable to watch.

A night of firsts, Varosyan with an absolute beauty for his first in the league, Delisle with his first with the Attack, Nansi with his first in the league and McDonald with his first with the Attack.

Really impressed with Delisle tonight. Says a lot that he was the centreman out there taking the big draws late in the game.

Welcome back Konnor Smith. Really liked his game tonight and he ate a ton of minutes. That pairing of Smith and Petrovski is going to be leaned on heavy.

40 was our best centreman by far . What an awesome acquisition.

He had a great game. Really liked the line combos in general tonight. All four lines were rolling and contributing. It's a pretty fun forward group.

The Bulldogs PBP remarked how well the Attack played, that they are a good team .

I think that has to be taken with a grain of salt. They also said Gabe Smith is brothers with Givani and Gemel Smith which if it were true I'd hope our lovely local media personnel would have pieced it together by now lol.

I've seen the predictions and nobody thinks this is a playoff team. I think they are better than people think and if they can sustain that brand of hockey all year they are going to be a handful.

i think he will be a great contributor for you guys. He wouldn’t get as much of a shot in Oshawa but with you guys since you will be rebuilding he should be one of the main guys upfront along with Cormier varosayan mbuyi and nansi

Young team but wait 2 years. You’ll be back to having competitive hockey again. A high draft pick in this years draft should do you wonders too.

 

[AttackSound]

Good step forward tonight.

The compete is starting to pick up in the group and tonight showed us a little sample size of what hard work through the pre-season and opening week has been taken for the team moving forward. As the play picked up the little details of what coaches have preached is starting to show in a positive direction and the end result was the reward from those efforts.

The continuation of the defense first and "puck tracking" as the coaching staff called it has been very exciting to watch in the small sample size we've seen thus far into the season.

Delisle's play being his first game in the lineup looked very promising tonight he's certainly didn't look put of place and competed hard within the structure of what the coaches have preached for what they want out of this group and to see him get rewarded shows a little sample of what he will bring to the team this season from his deep season run from the Generals last year.

Konnor Smith has seemed to take on his identity of a leader in full force tonight certainly showed that when things started getting ramped up and emotions were high setting an example of calm on the backend and not letting the Bulldogs get too much traction in our defensive end but yet still playing a heavy game and creating havoc all over the ice.

Big steps forward headed into tomorrow's game versus the Rangers.

Hunt is a good general manager, but he has an incredibly hands on owner that wanted this deal.
