Saginaw Spirit 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[frontsfan67]

Interesting question as we get closer to the end of the season:

Let's say Misa keeps it up and finishes 1st in the OHL scoring race. Gets to the high 120's or low 130's. 60 goals. Star prospect for the upcoming draft. Let's also say Zayne Parekh stays on pace. Would be the first 100 point defenseman since Ryan Ellis in 2010/11. Would also be the 1st back to back 30 goal scoring defenseman in league history IIRC. Which one does Saginaw put up for the Red Tilson? Teams only get one candidate.

Misa who will prob get top prospect award too

What a fight by Velliaris holy he creamed poor Pharand!

Again- watch in a year or two that’s when he will be most effective. Some team will take a late pick on him I am sure- fast, big body d man very raw and can fight.

One of the chippiest games I've ever seen in my life. Zero flow. Hopefully it isn't anything serious with Oke. We had to use a local Sudbury kid as back up tonight. Papineau continues to look like the better goalie. And Misa adds a couple goals and an assist to become Saginaw's all time leading scorer. Congrats Michael!

Really surprised to see Oke have the season he is. I really expected him to go off this year.

Parekh named defenseman of the month for back to back months.

Saginaw recalls Sammy Diblasi for backup duty.

Zayne gets to 30 while also adding 3 assists today. This gives him 96 points and a real good chance at getting to 100 next week.

Gusty performance by Papineau to help kill off that 5 on 3 with under 5 to play. Thought that we were for sure giving up two there and Flint was going to get their 6th straight W. Needed those 2 points because the rest of the week is super tough. Turn around and get Barrie and then Brantford Saturday night. Parekh passes Vincent Trocheck for most assists all time in Spirit history. Him and Misa were fighting for that record but Zayne has kind of pulled away there. He's also now a single point away from become the first defenseman in the CHL to get to 100 pts since Ryan Ellis.

OHL: Ryan Ellis (2010-11, 100 in 58)
WHL: Shane Peacock (1992-93, 102 in 65)
QMJHL: Danny Groulx (2001-02, 112 in 68)
