SSM Greyhounds 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Only my 2nd or 3rd game I got to attend this year but overall wasn't overly impressed by either team last evening. Greyhounds did not seem too urgent for a team fighting for a playoff spot until the last 10 minutes or so...

Martin plays a pro game, his lack of foot speed was noticeable at times but he finds a way to make plays happen. Not sure if thats usual of his game but have seen some criticism of it.

Reid is a gamer, if he is here for 2 more years along with Martin they should have a real shot at hosting next time its around for the OHL.

Really thought they would come back tonight vs Barrie. But a great game by Colts goalie and they continue to challenge to win the East.. Hounds losing their 34th game of the season. Owen Sound lost as well and we remained tied for the last playoff spot, with 7 games remaining.

They did come back but took a couple untimely penalties which cost them at least a point for 2nd game in a row! They definitely deserved to win this game! They need some offence from Allard, Nordh and Cloutier line plus PP to contribute! 0-4 tonight while Barrie was 2-4!

I was thinking the same thing. Allard and Nordh have played themselves off of the 1st powerplay line. Crazy that they are NHL drafted and are struggling more than the other 4 forwards in the top 6. They don’t seem to be finding each other that well out there. Maybe it’s chemistry or too many individual efforts. They don’t sustain pressure as much as they “should” (being they’re NHL drafted). Although it must be really tough for Allard, it’s only his second game back and he has had a rough year being out of the lineup with injuries. Going to miss him next year on draws, he does very well in the faceoff circle, 62% last night.

That’s not to say they didn’t have their chances last night, they had quite a few. Just couldn’t bury. That line is for sure staying together though, you know we’re not splitting up Mignosa-Martin-Hayes. They are dialled in. Imo as always.

lf they play the way their
 
They really need to try and finish 7th and avoid London! If the Allard line plays to their capabilities and they get some good goaltending I believe they could do it! Can't give points away like they did last 2 games! Two games that they outplayed very good teams and found a way to lose!
 
next 4 games on the road. Last 2 games at home.
Two of the six games vs Sarnia, critical games, could determine which of the 2 teams
makes the playoffs. In the hunt for final 2 spots sarnia, Soo, owen sound , guelph.
