Saginaw Spirit 2022-23 Off-Season Thread

[Otto]

Hoping Misa doesn't miss any time. Should have been 5 and a game for McCue

 

[Mr Puck]

I have noticed coach Lazary does not communicate at all with his assistants during the game. Why is this? The assistants stand there and look uncomfortable.

 

[Kingpin794]

Congrats to Zayne! Absolute steal so late in the first. Breaks the record for goals by a 16 year d man in a season with several games left.

 

[Kingpin794]

HUGE win last night. Put us 6 pts clear of Guelph with a game in hand. Also puts us back into 4th for now. Have Owen Sound next. Possible playoff preview.

 

[Kingpin794]

Nice to see McNamara step up a bit while Misa is out. 5 pts in his last 5 games.

 

[Kingpin794]

Ideal outcomes for this afternoon:

1) We get a W
2) Guelph beats OS (regulation). We still keep a 6 pt lead on the Storm while OS falls 6 back with 2 games in hand.
3) Flint beats Sarnia (regulation). Tie for 3rd although Sarnia has a game in hand.

2/3 ain’t bad

3 out of 3 ain't good.

3 out of 3 ain't good.

There’s no way to expect points in the games vs NB or Sarnia. Not even concerned about those. They lost the one winnable game this weekend. Not ideal but still in 4 and a very good chance to stay in the 4/5 match up. Thursday and Saturday are gonna be tough again. Wouldn’t expect points vs Petes or Ottawa. But then the schedule opens up again for a favorable last set of games including head to head games vs OS and Guelph. Saginaw still controls their own destiny.

3 out of 3 ain't good.

How many times does it need to be stated that win/losses are the least of the teams concerns this season. Saginaw sold at the deadline, all 3 teams we played bought. The purpose this year is to develop young talent for a run next year and get the players who wont be returning opportunities for next year.

 

[swoopster]

Well their young talent at this point are playing less than inspired hockey. Lackadaisical, uninspired hockey, waltzing around, getting beaten to the puck... never hitting anything. There is a great post on the Spirit talk forum from a well known member on this very subject. Why don't you go take a look at his opinion.

Just trying to talk about this week's game in a friendly manner...

 

[Savard18]

I guess when you mortgaged the entire future to be a 4 seed, go start stuff with a fan base that sold big and will probably be running over you the next 2-3 years if not this week.

Islander fan here, I see Lennox was signed. What's his game like?

He’s fought injuries his entire career. He’s hasn’t ever had a chance to get into a groove. This was his first season where he hasn’t missed significant time. If he can stay healthy, he can certainly be a work horse type goalie. Don’t know about his NHL chances but could definitely carve out a good AHL career with a call up or two.

 

[Slap Shot Rick]

Lennox signs with the Islanders.

 

[Kingpin794]

And another one

 

[Kingpin794]

Hell of a performance for the newest Islanders signing. 59 save shutout.

 

[Kingpin794]

If anyone wants to watch the game tomorrow

 

[three dog night]

Good comeback tough loss in the shootout.
