SSM Greyhounds 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[DWI Dale]

Didn't take Nordh long to light the lamp!

What a treat it was to watch Noel Nordh in his first game. Lots of people are down on the team, but he's worth the price of admission on his own.

Miller with another stellar performance. That series of saves late in the 2nd was unreal. I'm not sure what happened to start the season, but he's got a .908 SV% and 2.71 GAA in his last 4 games, which is more of what we expected.

I think we can expect this team to rack up a lot of pre-deadline wins if everyone stays healthy.

Solid effort by the pups tonight with a 3-2 win over visiting 67’s. Landon Miller solid between the pipes and deserving of 2nd star honours. Hounds are still giving away glorious scoring chances and goaltending is covering up for them .
Noel Nordh with a solid debut with a goal and 2 assists and definitely brought a pro game with him back from Tucson

Great assessment! I liked Miller’s game for the most part but I thought his rebound control was iffy at times. Kicking the puck out to the high danger zones is not a recipe for success.He certainly squared to the shooter and gave them little to aim at. He has gained a lot of confidence since coming in on Wednesday in his relief appearance.

I really liked the puck pressure and forecheck in the game.
A couple of outstanding backchecks from Martin and Allard stood out for me as well.
With a nice 4game win streak in their back pocket, it will be interesting to see if they can continue their revitalized play on the road, starting in Windsor

Caution ! I saw a 3rd. period collapse with Miller saving the day. Upcoming road trip will be very telling.

Biggest indicator after being a fan a long time..

Soo isn’t saying the word championship publicly in the paper lol.

Man does Miller ever fight with the puck in net. My best friend is a goalie and he said Miller makes the game a lot harder on himself and he fights the puck all game, there wasn’t a moment he was calm in net.

That’s a huge tell and a great point. Sounds like they are more concerned with winning games in the present and staying competitive. Definitely a good sign, considering I am getting nervous that the organization will get greedy and see dollar signs. It’s great to see Miller have success, he’s definitely unorthodox and yes, always looks like he’s fighting the puck. I thought he did a great job of coming off the goal line and challenging the shooters on Friday.

Nordh looks like a game breaker, should be fun to watch while here. Allard can dominate with his speed and 2 way game. Nice to see Brodie back and flashing his offensive skillset and speed. Miller at times battles the puck and positioning but props to him for a good win and holding down fort in 3rd vs 67s. Getting Carlisle back will help and our D looks like it should settle down with some better pairings. Mignosa looks like he is ready to put up good numbers again.

Lineup getting deeper and will push out some who were struggling. Nice to see them string together a good run while battling injuries, sickness and waiting on pro camp attendees.
