SSM Greyhounds 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[OHLfan200]

Wonder with this new chl ncaa thing implemented if we see some of the guys that didn’t commit to you change their minds before inevitably leaving when eligible for college

One can only hope that’s what Raftis was thinking during our draft.

I have been given the impression by a couple of people that Cali's camp lied to the team. As for Croskery, that could possibly be part of it

 

[Fischhaber]

The return of Mignosa to the lineup has been huge! 5th goal last night and a shorty to boot. 3 assists on all the power play goals as well. Suddenly doubling our pp efficiency in one game! (It was that bad!
Having two capable goaltenders makes for some interesting coaching decisions, game to game. Schenkel with a 32/32 night and his fifth career SO

He won OHL player of the week for his troubles.

Cali used the Soo as leverage and it was obvious on social media by members of his previous team and others who were commenting “ZONKED the Soo” and more when he announced his commitment.

Raftis got played, its okay it happens to the best of us.

100% was not part of the plan or he wouldn’t have traded Cali’s rights LOL

I can imagine Raftis is NOW thinking “ wow this can save my draft” lol

Judging by his earlier comments, I can see maybe croskery entertaining that scenario, but must have known writing was on the wall about cali.

 

[DWI Dale]

salvaging something from a bad draft is probably more accurate eh Joe?

so if he never reports to NB we get a 1st and a 6th round pick... and if he plays a single game in the OHL we also get a second and a fourth-round pick in 2028, and a seventh-round selection in 2027. Is that accurate?

I think that's pretty much what I said, just in fewer words. I'm honestly not super concerned. We get another pick next year, so it's hardly a disaster or anything.

 

[ohloutsider]

Are Gino and Mark not doing the games in the Soo anymore?

 

[DWI Dale]

Oof. What an ass whooping.

 

[Fischhaber]

That might be the worst game I've ever seen us play. Credit to London, but they weren't amazing or anything. Just an awful effort by us other than Charlie.

 

[DWI Dale]

I wouldn't want to be a hound at the next practice that's for sure. #bagskate #montrealmile #suicides

I think it’s a disaster. It’s been a disaster.

I think 98% of people around the league think so. I know for sure the Leafs scout I talked to last night at the game had a chuckle about how disastrous of a draft we had.

Not super concerned is probably what the yes men around Raftis are saying to make him feel better.

 

[DWI Dale]

the giant hole in our 2008 year class is very concerning and no amount of delulu gaslighting or make up picks change that so i have to agree with Joe. between that problem, and the holes in our draft picks, there's a lot of work to do.

One of those games that really puts into perspective, it’s not our year, let’s sell off.

One draft pick isn’t going to fix it. The NCAA ruling today may fix it, but it won’t be a pat on Kyles back like he saved the day….. that’s just ridiculous haha

victor carneiro is back scouting in the ohl with the brampton stealheads. im sure he would have went back to the soo but no offer was made.
