Saginaw Spirit 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[donjohnson]

Who said I was a Cameron fan? I think he got the point on the first goal, if not before. Should they have been on the team? A good possibility, yes. Were they pissed? Absolutely. So were probably 100 other guys over the years that thought they should be there. They got over it. Go play hockey. That kind of stuff doesn't get unnoticed by others that will ultimately make decisions about them later on in their hockey life.

Sorry, just figured you were a fan of the team...I don't know anything about Ottawa's team or whether Cameron is liked or disliked. In Saginaw people are generally a fan of Lazary and the GM Drinkell.

Playing with a chip on your shoulder is something that's been a part of sports for centuries...Michael Jordan famously played with a chip on his shoulder in just about every game he played and thousands of other top athletes have made careers about an olympic or all-star snub.

Last year the opposing fans all said the same thing about Parekh for the draft and Calgary didn't bat an eye.

You should take a gander at the Ottawa thread....

I think you told me everything I need to know with that one sentence

Looks like Chernyshov will be wearing 25

Yes, and at 6'3" and 225 lbs, unless something is really wrong, you will see him for the final 24 season games, and how far the Spirit go in the playoffs,and that will be it. A "Shark" amoung the smaller fish. He is an inch taller and 10lbs heavier than me...

Oh, this ought to be interesting!!!

He was with Saginaw in Kingston the other night. He was on the ice wearing a in shorts and hoodie that had 25 on it, and was a man among boys as he was doing some stickhandling and shooting at the empty net. I was surprised he didn't play, but I guess they had stuff to iron out

Who comes out the top 6 now to make room for Chernyshov? Zhilkin is handling his own as a 16 year old and Harmer/Clouthier need the minutes this year. I think easy answer would be to slide Zhilkin down to line 3 but still give him PP time.

Here's how I see the lines:

Epperson - Misa - Chernyshov
Mangone - Harmer - Clouthier
Zhilkin - Gervais - Sima
Najim - Johnston - Storch
Weir

Parekh - Guo
Glavin - Fogione
Vellaris - Jones/Barch

That exactly what I was thinking. Maybe swap Weir for Storch but otherwise I like the combos.

 

[donjohnson]

Yes, the last 3 are pretty interchangable...Johnston probably is in the lineup because of age/size and then Najim/Storch/Weir are rotated around. I went with Storch because he showed up on the stats sheet recently.
