Did he or did he not do it twice in the game today? Pretty simple? I know fans of Dale Hunter hockey have trouble understanding the rules, as well as integrity though.

What is your point? That play didn’t lose the game for the Wolves, they got beat by a better team. The first one was not even on net.

I'll take leading the league over penalties over having wonderful human beings like Dale Hunter and Logan Mailloux representing my city team in 2023. Cheers.

I think I would like to be in first overall in my conference.

Wolves worked hard and never gave up I have to give it to them. In the end having to kill more than 12 straight minutes in penalties did them in when they are already short bodies. The match penalty was a stretch as Frasca was already airborne before any foot got in behind him.

Would like to see more out of Pharand. He has been a non factor recently. Not sure why he has lost a step in his game. But he is having a really quiet second half to the season.

He’s not playing enough.
 
Wonder how he is coping with Munro getting a lot of his second unit pp time. Alex needs to use his body more and be tougher on the puck.

Isn’t that a message being sent. See Yearwood getting time because he parks himself in front of the net and takes punishment and also protects and digs pucks along the wall.

Maybe he’s nursing an injury. Who knows.

Yes,

Pharand was one of the best players on the wolves roster for the first half of the season, but he's regressed since then. I know we have a rule, we're not allowed to say anything negative about locals, but it is what it is. Hopefully he can figure it out and step up his play, because when he's on his game, he's a great player.

Wolves were the better team in that game at least. Ask Mackenzie.

However I try to be positive, I have a hard time being optimistic. No power play, inconsistent goaltending and no discipline doesn’t seem to be a recipe for playoff success to me. Hope is the magic ingredient though so give me two scoops. Doesn’t look like we’re catching Hamilton, maybe Missy which they might want to do. Barrie would be tough but watching the game this afternoon, North Bay look to have gone into playoff mode. Have a hard time believing that wouldn’t be a short one.
 
With Hamilton going on a winning streak and vaulting into 4th, and Wolves failing to gain any points this weekend, Wolves positioned to finish season 6th/7th. Pick your poison between North Bay or Barrie in the 1st round. It will be a huge learning experience for the boys going up against either of these teams in a playoff atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing who can elevate their games come playoff time. At this point 1st round playoff experience will be good for the boys, and hoping Wolves finish 6th or 7th last in OHL standings to have higher pick for the draft. There's a quality top end to this draft with either Roobroeck, Hopkins, Martin, Moore, Schaefer or Griffin. Wolves would be lucky to get one of these guys. Ivankovic is a dark horse option for the Wolves with their 1st rounder

Here we sit on the brink of securing a playoff spot with a .500 record. We did this without proven goaltenders, leading the league in penalties/suspensions, long-term injuries, worst PP in the league and selling vets/players.
Think of the potential moving forward into next year.
How will Gaulton progress? Who will be our OAs? How will we use our draft capital? Will Devorsky report? Who shines at camp this fall?
Future looks bright and promising.
Buckle up, gonna be a thrilling finish to this year.

Only 4 teams miss the playoffs in the entire league. So just making the playoffs with this group isn't that great of accomplishment. Will this team be a true contender and go deep into the playoffs next season? That's the true question. We've all waited far too long to see Sudbury ice an actual contender. Anything less next season will be unacceptable at this point. Papineau needs to deliver on next season or bye bye Paps

Half full……
 
Contending line up to start 2023

Musty Dvorsky Goyette
Delic McCallum (Gavin Hayes)
Boudreau Villeneuve Pharand
Yearwood Walton Coughlan

(Spencer Sova) Collins
Anania Mania
Walton- Chromiak
Toure

(DiVincentis)
Krawchuk

I like what McCallum and Boudreau bring to the table.

I would prefer Donovan to Sova but I’m not sure Hamilton wants to let him go.

That leaves our first and second this year as trade baits plus Larmand, Konyen, Bishop, Protz Gaulton, Di Giantommaso Mauro and others to go with our extra picks.

I would invite Lucas Signoretti he’s dominant with the paperkings. I think he could be a nice addition to this group. Don’t know if he’s still tied to Erie.

IMO, DiVincentiis (if traded) will be moved to Saginaw to play in the Memorial Cup.
They have a boatload of picks after their deals this year and won’t be afraid to pay the necessary price.

You have too many OAs. I believe Protz will secure a spot on back end. Bruce is intriguing as he is Big and Nasty but talented! I like your trade add ons. I think vulnerable teams like Windsor, Kitchener, Pete’s and perhaps Erie are teams with no or very little draft capital so we should be looking at getting some of their better 18-19 year olds.

I'd leave him where he's at. Certainly wouldn't spend any assets on acquiring his rights.

Somehow the NOJHL seems to get worse as the years go by. Many top players leave for the OJ, who have their top players leave for the BCHL or AJHL.

I believe you can start with 4 OA’s but can only dress 3 that’s why Toure is my 7th guy. I Also think Kitchener won’t be selling. I would love for Papineau to make his key moves in the summer before season starts. Then at the trade deadline you only go for the one guy who will add to your core. For Signoretti I think he would be good as a 13th forward who can step in at times.
 
OHL Site has finally updated the suspensions!

Larmand 8 games
Robinson 2 games
Toure 1 game minimum for what I have no idea!

THIS LEAGUE IS A JOKE

Only one I think could be questionable is Toure, but without knowing what its for, hard to say.

Larmand probably deserves more given it's his third head shot suspension of 2023. Robinson got the standard slewfooting penalty.
