SSM Greyhounds 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

Hounds lost to another decent team, plan the parade.
- coach Dean

I get you're frustrated, as are a ton of fans. But at the same time, what's he supposed to say?? The team's effort has been there over the past month. They are improving, maybe slowly, but the development is coming along, the compete is there. Lalone out really hurts. This team will need upgrades at goaltending if they plan to contend in the next few years.

It's too bad the Martin hit directly led to 2 powerplay goals tonight. That was really deflating. Crazy how much hockey has changed... 10-20 years ago you make a hit like that (one of the best if not THE best I've ever seen tbh) it completely energizes your bench. Now he gets a 2 minute minor because he just hits too hard, and the players' helmet flew off.. I guess..

Other than that, I felt the boys came out with good energy tonight and didn't quit. Yes they make mistakes. Yes it's redundant and it feels like we are getting nowhere. But we just need to give them more time. The talent is there. Just need to harness it. Anyway this is all imo, Rant over!!

I thought we were absolutely superb on 5-5 play in this game. It's unfortunate that this didn't lead to a different result, but we'll win 90% of games if we play like that going forward.

I'd like to hear an explanation as to what the penalty was on Martin, but the refs deciding outcome of the game is not surprising, given that it was Burchell. We all knew that going in.

I'd like to hear it too. Martin doesn't even stride, when watching the replay. He's just a truck. Just hit him too hard. It's hockey in 2025 man. Even the Saginaw fans below us agreed once they saw the replay.

Need better goaltending than what we saw tonight. Definitely be in the running for 1st overall if Lalonde is out for a longer period of time. Regardless of if they were on the powerplay. A number of shots that beat him clean that could have been saved.

holub is not better than our canadian kids. if the European ain't a game changer play our boys. period

gonna build around martin up front and reid at the back. the future is bright.

Holub time is ending. Soo will need to utilize both import picks. One is going to have to be a goalie because we are royally screwed in net..(unless someone sees something I don’t )

Nothing, nothing he can say matters anymore. His shelf life has expired lol
