Sudbury Wolves 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

[Voice from the North]

Does anyone know why they keep scratching Coughlan, Is he injured ? I do have my thoughts!

Too much of a risk for bad penalties. Was benched in game 3 after he got away with a slash/spear

Been splitting my watching time between Sudbury and North Bay tonight and man, North Bay looks dominant. Without Romani, Dom and Arnsby. Not sure if Kingston sucks, or North Bay is just good. Feels like they've been one of the top teams in the OHL over the last 2 months.

Kingston sucks. They should have sold

Can't say enough about Vandenberg tonight.. was almost Dahm like some of those early saves. Moves like Dahm in net

Whom ever the wolves play in round two, I believe they'll have to win at least twice in NB or Oshawa to have a chance at that series. Tough task. I have my doubts but we will soon find out. Vandy to me, is the true #1 tender. Best of luck in round 2.

 

[Voice from the North]

Ok first and second, great third with almost no good chances given up. Good to see they can play defense and manage the puck when needed. On to round two

 

[Between The Goalpost]

LETS GO WOLVES!!!!

I cannot express how hyped I am. Currently on Vacation in northern Michigan but was still able to stream the game.

On to round 2!

Series not over in Oshawa... Hillebrandt just stole one for the Colts. Game 6 on Sunday.

Kitchener wins in OT - next game is on Tuesday... that's like 4 days away.. wtf.

Big win. Really like how the Colts have played in this series. Goaltending top notch. With any luck they could have been coming home to try and wrap it up.

Yea, the three OA's should have gotten the 3 stars in the last game of the Regular Season, but whatever... don't look back.

Edit: I looked back at the last game of the season for them and they didn't give the 3 stars to the OA's for that game. Presumably because it wasn't technically their last game and they were looking forward to the playoffs.

Squish the Fish!!

Nice to closed it out.

Vandenberg huge in this game, some unbelievable saves.

PP was on fire it won them this series, was nice to see.

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

Wakely and Goyette tied for 1st in points so far.

who cares, playoffs are about team wins. Not individual points. No one will ever remember who scored what, but they will remember us beating our Northern Brothers out of the playoffs. Just saying.

 

[StewieFan76]

I know he didn’t play (and get the wins) in the other three games but Vandenberg was exceptional tonight and I would say came as close as any goaltender this season to qualifying as stealing a game because if not for the big saves who knows? my question is does he start the next series or not? I say yes they looked great in front of him in the third and he did the job in a clutch game so I say give him the shot. Thoughts?

Well I’ve been bitching all year that if this team got some decent goaltending and coaching they would be up with London and Saginaw. Keep going like this and we will be playing one of those teams in the finals in a couple weeks.

Just another little irk for season ticket holders, not only did our tickets go up in price was just informed buddy tickets have gone from 10 to 15 dollars for redemption. WHERE DOES IT END?

Being in business, inflation, fuel, carbon tax, food cost, supply chain, rent, etc pricing all gone up not a surprise. Cost are passed on to the customer.

Wrong answer.
Buddy vouchers cost nothing and put people in seats that would otherwise be empty.
These people will likely also spend money at concessions and on souvenirs, and if they enjoy the game, some might even buy tickets and attend games in the future.
Nothing but a cash grab, and it is becoming obvious they will charge whatever they think they can get away with.
Just like the 25% increase in season ticket price for endzone seats for next year.
