Owen Sound Attack 2024-25 Season, Part I

[AttackSound]

This team has started to make some noise of late which is nice to see.

Last night the team really showed how to flex their offensive muscles against a young team who had some very good pieces that will be a tough team to play against in Peterborough.

The big key difference that I've seen in the past couple of games is even when the boys stumble and the opposition capitalizes on their opportunities the group doesn't get discouraged and they dig their heels in and turn the game their chances into stats on the gamesheet.

Last night's game showed that even when we looked like the team got into defensive trouble they didn't let Peterborough get too much momentum and came away with a big 7-2 win in the 3rd game in this 4 game stint. The other big key thing I noticed was putting Koprowski in the crease he's a big goalie who has a large coverage of the crease even when he covers the lower half of the net.

Onward to North Bay Monday and the final game in this 4 game stretch.

Have to keep pointing out how good the Smith/Bleicher pair continues to be. Plus three again tonight, both making smart, strong plays to create offence and good breakouts. They've hardly been out for a goal against this year.

Nansi's breakout continues, he's going to be a handful for teams for years.

Already enjoying this team so much more than last year's edition. Wray has brought back that blue collar mentality to thks team in just 7 games.

There will be some decisions to be made on the blueline when Bedkowski is ready.
By all accounts he is a top 4.

I like Bleichers game.
And G Smith is starting to Excell with regular playing time .

The team is ahead of where I thought they'd be early in the season .

I am lost as to who they could possibly not dress from the Defensive group once ‘The Big Bedkowski’ (not the big Lebowski, the big BEDKOWSKI) comes back. Maybe a rotation of Bleicher, Smith, Arnett? It’s hard to think that any of those guys would sit for a significant period of time throughout the season.

No idea why Oshawa traded away Bedkowski, highly underrated player, and underplayed for two seasons, but if you guys would like to give him back to Oshawa, we sure could use him. And Delisle!
