Sudbury Wolves 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Lycanthrope]

Never suggested his record only the third period and overtime of the game last night which he performed very well and made some key saves to get them to the shootout.

Did you watch on the internet? Made some good saves yes but is lumbering unorthodox and can’t play in the shootout. Team was up by three damn goals, never should have went to a shootout.

DMac has made some good defensive improvements since taking over but he has not improved the selfish undisciplined penalties and mistakes that this team continually makes. The Wolves were rolling at 3-0 and Larmand's selfish blunder changed the momentum of the game. Time and time again players selfishly put their petty on ice grievances first before the team . This has to stop before we can become relevant in the league standings.
Brassard's play since coming here has me wondering if he rivals as one of the worst goalies to play for the Wolves ever. Is he the equivalent of Connor Burgess, as the worst forward to ever don a Wolves jersey. I have never seen such a large goalie look so small as he did in the shootout yesterday. His cross ice crease movement is very lumbering. Papineau should fall on the sword for recruiting a goalie from another league , sight unseen. Waived by at least 3 teams is not a player we should want
Another troubling aspect lately is outside of Goyette, Mania, Toure and Degrazia is the lack of skating speed this team has. We need to draft ,recruit ,and yes retain players that possess speed and conditioning/stamina.

Nothing that isn’t fact in this post, harsh or not.

re- Musty fight with Ritchie when game was in our favour and nothing left to prove but settle some draft day debate about who should be drafted first- result Musty out for weeks from hand infection that occurred as a result of the fight
Goyette- 4 game suspension for settling on ice dispute with hit to the head
Larmand- probably at least 4 games for avoidable elbowing of Beglieri yesterday

this is just the last month

Absolutely and this has been going on for years, despite different rosters and coaches. Always shooting themselves in the foot with their meathead antics. It was better for awhile but as I pointed out awhile ago it’s starting to re emerge.

Nolan Collins just got suspended 1 game for removing Butler’s helmet in the fight. He can finish this game but will miss your next one. Butler will be suspended 2 games for his 4th fight of the season.

The stupidity in full display early on.

If you think the musty fight to to settle a "draft day debate" you're lost at this point. The fight was 100% going to happen due to Mustys high hit on Sennecke in the previous matchup.

It had nothing to do with the Sennecke hit. It was Musty who jumped Ritchie and started that fight. That was Musty thinking he could punk Ritchie and show scouts he’s much tougher than him. Don’t think it ended up going that way though

Jumped him? What were you watching? Lol

 

[Generalsupdates]

Regardless both teams more then likely end up with a top end guy (Roobroeck, Hopkins, Martin, Moore, Schaefer, Griffin)

But Wolves are cool with taking a playoff spot as well as one of those guys. Gens can shoot for Roobroeck

Yeah Sudbury definitely needs to make the playoffs being multiple years into the rebuild. Gens don’t need to this year. Next year? Different story

 

[howlman]

That was so weak Bishop..

 

[I Loveallsports]

That was so weak Bishop..

He won't be a wolf next season.

 

[Generalsupdates]

Not sure if you could see that in the broadcast or not. Obviously a bad turnover from Bishop for the goal agaisnt but Mania was SCREAMING at him coming off the ice lol. Then yells something to the D-coach and turns around and points right at Bishop lol

 

[Lycanthrope]

Krawchuck no miracles today! Garbage goaltending again. Until the wolves get some kind of power play, they’re gonna continue to be a nonfactor. This game is probably gonna get away from us now.

 

[I Loveallsports]

PP hardly crisp passes. Don't think the have the proper personal on this team. Has hurt them badly this season.

I couldn’t believe they had McCallum bringing the puck up the ice on PP1. Tries to go 1-on-3, gets crushed by Roobroeck, Gens easily clear and McCallum left hurt

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Wolves have too many players not showing up today and yesterday. Pharand we need more from. Bishop and Chromiak are struggling. This game is over. Sudbury looks like they went on a bender last night.

Hard to believe they haven’t got a better power play under Mackenzie. Just pathetic.

Yes cant hit the broad side of a barn. No wonder Boudreau can’t score. No urgency at all on the powerplay. Gotta give Brassard some credit as the score could be worse.

Don’t like Musty at top of Umbrella on PP, he handles puck good enough but not our beat skater. Top guy must be a combination elite puck handler (Mania struggles with handling but has the skating aspect) and elite mobile skater. PP is totally run from high Umbrella and no down low plays. Would nice to have combination of both high and low on PP.

 

[jrwhopper]

For a team thats on the cusp of being on the outside of the playoffs, you think theyd show up. This team always finds ways to make life as difficult as possible.

I take my original post back, not a blip yesterday but a two day trend. One period to turn things around…

Puck movement is too slow. Nobody is motion. Can't be stationary on the PP. Guys need to make reads of where to go when the puck is moving so they open up lanes for passes. The easiest PP to defend.

Wolves need to draft Schaefer first round. Offensive dman out of Halton.

[Wolfman Jack]

How do the Gens give assists on the first and third goal. Both were turnovers by Wolves players. If anything Bishop should get the first one. The third one was a bounce from behind the net that Krawchuck misplayed. Guess they give out free apples in Oshawa.

Iron strengthens iron. Start calling up some of the young kids for practice. If AG is close, high pick at least get him ready. CW same. MM from the Cubs, DM. Bring in some new faces for practice. Start making these guys look over their shoulder a bit and play with some urgency. In my day nothing motivated a guy more.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Ive said it all season it's construction. Credit to DM for for getting the most our of these guys. He's making due with what he has. Overall, they need more talent. Hardwork, a good game plan can only go so far.

I'm assuming Papineau will be the GM next season and from what I'm reading here wolves going for it next season. I myself not to sure how that will work. Im hope he has enough trade capital to make that happen because without it I can't see a run happening.

Team needs - more scoring, goaltending, and adds on the D. Need a couple of players who has poise, creativity, IQ that can run a PP.

 

[howlman]

Why does Brassard turtle his head on every high shot?
