Owen Sound Attack 2024-25 Season, Part I

[Generalsupdates]

They were waiting for you to break it

Good one?

And I would be willing to wager my signed game used Beckett Sennecke jersey that neither Bedkowski nor Delisle will ever demand a trade out of Owen Sound.

No shit. They won't have the leverage to lol

 

[Donnie740]

We are already excited.
The team is absolutely better than yesterday .

Considering DeGray had little to no leverage in this situation, he did incredibly well.

It’s absurd for someone to proclaim that DeGray would have to “lie” to the fans in Owen Sound and spin some ridiculous narrative to try and placate them.

He's hiding from there

I don’t think he’s allowed to to be honest, he couldn’t help himself otherwise

Ok I want to preface this with I am a fan of Colby and he brought a lot of goals and excitement to the Attack. But.... this is all in IMHO... I think he is one-dimensional and is likely to not be a "superstar" in the NHL as compared to Nick Suzuki. He lacks a 200' game. He has a great shot, is a great PP trigger man but after that there is less to his game than many very good players. I think this is an excellent trade for the Attack, The return, coupled with the new coaching staff is finally the "rebuild" this franchise needed. Maybe we can pull something off before George is gone, he's elite and a extension of the Attack being a goalie factory, I really hope we can with the new look Attack and George., I have some hope we will.

That’s a fair assessment of Barlow.

He’s a poor man’s Rick Nash - - both are pure goal scorers without much play making ability. Barlow has a better shot but Nash had better hands. Neither of them would ever be considered a great skater and - - most concerning - - neither did anything in the playoffs.

I realize Barlow was the glamorous name in this deal, but Owen Sound fans should be extremely excited about this deal. It’s not quite a Del Mastro-for-Martone-and-a-2nd type fleecing, but it certainly has the potential to be.

It would not surprise me in the least if Delisle scores 20 goals this year and Bedkowski is drafted in the 3rd round. One thing’s for sure though, you’ll never have to question the effort and intensity of either.

I think you’re right, Delisle and Bedkowski don’t see themselves as Primadonna’s. Team players

This really feels like a Donnie alt account...

I can’t imagine being this mad at a 19 year old kid.

Sorry Barlow crapped in your Cheerios this morning, he’s moved on, hopefully he doesn’t stop by to do it again tomorrow.

Refusing to report to a team that allowed you to be drafted, does show a lack of integrity.

Again, 19 year old kid, you act like he owes you something.

I hope you can sleep tonight and this doesn’t ruin your weekend.

Hope you still consider sending Colby a Christmas card.

There’s only so many superstars in the NHL so I agree however he is very elite at his goal scoring so teams will like that. Could be a perennial 30 goal scorer which isn’t exactly Ovi or Matthews but is still very respectable.

There's no reception in the Lum and I'm not familiar enough to know where the NE side is, but would I be correct that's in front of the men's washroom corner? I've been to 4 or 5 games there.

Yes. Look for the sticker on the railing 'reserved for Attack personnel '.

He's a very pleasant guy, actually quite funny.

Thanks. That's where I've ran into Murray Hiebert, who I've known for 30 years, when he was GM of the Rangers. Long time OHL scout for multiple teams and still an exec with Kitchener. Figured it was that corner.
