I agree about the power play. That has to be better. But that was 12 minutes in a 60 minute game. The main problem I see with thr hounds is they always or almost always outplay their opponents. But everyone else finishes their chances. Is it that we haven't put together a team that can finish? Or are our goalies not making the saves? Or is everyone else just great at finishing?
I understand the want for Hayes, Sudbury should want him too & and he’d be ideal for NB.
Strangely enough, that definitely wasn't the case in either of the last 2 games. We were really sloppy against Niagara, but played very well defensively against Kitchener. They are a really talented team that capitalized on the few chances that they did have, putting some shots in good spots against Schenkel.
It was pretty even until the last 10 minutes in my opinion, but then the Greyhounds forced an awful lot of turnovers and penalties in that span. It's too bad we didn't see more of that earlier in the game.
More of the latter in my opinion. This looks like Wolves teams of years past and not the contender that everyone expected them to be.
Would have to blow everything and a couple of young skaters just to even compete. Saginaw just added 2 studs for pretty cheap and they still have the about the same amount of assets we have now.
I'd be building around the 06/07 group.
McNamara, Zhugin, home grown OA Mancini, 2, 2 in exchange for Christopolous, Dionicio, 3, 3 is an improvement, but not cheap imo.
this is assuming we stand pat leading up to and at trade deadline...throw Solomon into the mix as a 6th D-man and Schenkel won't likely be back as an OA unless he stands on his head the rest of the season...we'll likely also have 1-2 new Imports on the roster next season
