The Owen Sound player saw him coming and pulled back quickly, which caused the head contact. It would have almost been better if he didn't see and took it in the shoulder. Still worthy of a suspension for the reasons you mentioned, but the head contact being inadvertent should help him.

I've slowed it down so many times and I still see Clattenburg extend his elbow to make contact.

I don't believe any suspension is coming though.

strange that a coach with a 71-56-12-4 record and a decent start this year is looking for a job. him and degray must have have quite the philosophical difference to lose his job.
And you have to think that this is nothing new and degray had learned by now the differences they had. Instead of making a change in the offseason with a larger plethora of people to pick form, now it’s done only 7 games in and with a winning record

The replacement will come from the bench...great resume

can any owen sound fans provide any insight on what the beef was? firing a coach a few weeks into the season usually takes an abysmal start. the timing reflects poorly on degray imo.

If the firing wasn’t based on results, I wish Rumble was just given the opportunity to run how own camp and start the season how he wanted purely from the offseason/beginning. However it’s still early enough that he’s almost got the whole season to shape them

It's hiding in plain sight.
It may appear to reflect poorly on Dale from the outside.

He will be given the reigns, and have an immediate impact.
This team was projected to be a contender.
This 'tweak' was necessary to help that.

And I'm all for that change, I just wish it was done earlier because now it just feels like Dale couldn't make up his mind and has to fire a coach over .500. At the end of the day though, this decision is better now than too late

He made up his mind all right .
Appearances can deceive.

Owen Sound
i guess my question would be better phrased as "what issues exist now that weren't present in the summer".

did he pull a babcock?
Not probably going to answer questions but some comments in the article below from DeGray. There's talk of on ice and off ice issues. I think he was given a second chance/opportunity to start the season on the condition that certain changes be made which didn't happen.

Thks. Why I was asking was because this schedule is different from the magnetic calendar which showed last 2 home games that were supposed to televised, but were not.

Tweaks are needed. Offense needs to get traffic in front of the net. Defense needs to clear traffic from in front, and not let their mark get separation in front. Goaltending has been the least of our worries.
I agree. Saturday 2 goals were ftom passes to wide open players out front and 2 screen shots. I can't blame the tender.
