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

[djscooter]

he is coming off 2 weeks with an ankle injury, he's not 100 percent.

He's pointless in 10 of the 18 games he's been with the Wolves for. I think we all expected a bit more from an OA. If he is still hurt it would go a long way to explain his play these two games back, they should rest him until he's actually healthy.

He has 14 points in 18 games, not terrible. He's not on teams first PP unit, and not always getting prime ice time. He is good depth for the team, I agree had tough game tonight, that whole line did.

His totals are great, which is part of my frustration, he's had 7-8 games where he looks great, and 10 games where he looks nearly invisible(Or worse). That line was definitely struggling tonight, I'd really like to see them put Giroux back with Pharand, they had some real chemistry going before his injury and it was the best either of them had looked. Obviously tough to balance with the current suspensions.

I think this team has bigger problems than Giroux.

Very much so. Everything between the pipes.

And still Ken refuses to even try Krawchuk for an extended run. How could it possibly be any worse?

What's the old saying about insanity?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

 

[jamo27]

Insanity is all of us complaining about goaltending and coaching week after week and expecting the team to do well. This season is proving that the management of this team is completely incapable of harvesting a winning culture that everyone can be proud about. The team is as big of a joke as the new regime in Niagara.

If Dario is serious about having a successful team on and off the ice he is going to have to make serious changes - clean house and bring people in that actually know how to run an Ohl franchise. The local old boys club is no where near that level.

 

[PuckLucker]

Guess we need our own Sawyer Boulton and actually injure players instead of just tweeting about it? shorter suspensions for actually injuring someone.

Only London gets away with having players like that.
The dad had quite a career playing that style of hockey

 

[djscooter]

What a joke of a win. North bay beat them easily last night. We went to OT with them tonight. Musty on the OT winner. Go celebrate with your captain. You just gave him is 100pts. Cmon. Lets bond now before its too late. We wont pass 1st round if we play like this. Its a tean boys lets gooooo

Yeah, what a terrible teammate. Rolling up to the rink wearing his teammates jersey. Clearly hates Goyette and is selfish.

 

[howlman]

As ugly and entertaining as the game was last night, getting the 2 points was an absolute MUST. The standings in the Eastern Conference right now from #1 to #6 is about as close as I can remember seeing before heading down the stretch. The team to watch right now is Oshawa, they seem to have the most steam right now carrying momentum with some huge wins lately. Wolves play them two more times - home and away. Those games could determine whether they can hold off Oshawa for 1st in the Conference. The game Sunday in North Bay is beyond huge, big statement game.

1. Sudbury (61gp .. 77 points)
2. Oshawa (62gp .. 77 points)
3. Brantford (61gp .. 76 points)
4. North Bay (60gp .. 74 points)
5. Mississauga (61gp .. 73 points)
6. Ottawa (61gp .. 73 points)

Guaranteed that is our wonderful Gms call would certainly add to his ridiculous decisIon making.

I think we will land up playing Mississauga.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Think it’s fair to say I’d rather we didn’t. Goes without saying though that any team we play will have better goaltending and that’s a big advantage by itself.
Anyone going to the Bay?

better get your tickets almost sold out

 

[Wiserbud]

Anyone read any social media group chats about Krawchuk??? Anyone? Anyone?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Thanks just picked one up. Looking at the standings. Hope we stay away from Ottawa. Could be a dark horse.

We have to play a team we feel we can score 6 or better every game, what team is our best chance of achieving this?.

 

[howlman]

Let's hope they all prove us wrong. It'll either be from the faithful "I told you so" or the alternative being "enjoy that delicious crow". Here we come playoffs

 

[AKADonovan]

I think we will land up playing Mississauga.

If the boys don't get there poop together soon, they may not even have home ice advantage in the first round.

 

[armchaircoaches]

As long as we stay ahead of north bay we get 2nd seed

 

[CTrain10]

Normally I hate the Barrie Colts. Tonight? I thank the Barrie Colts!

 

[CTrain10]

No Delic definitely hurts, hopefully Vandenberg bounces back. Let’s Go Wolves!

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Why is Delic out? Man this team can’t ice a full line up ever.

[djscooter]

This team's inability to play 12 forwards and 6 d-men is frankly embarrassing from a "contender." Where's the depth, the prospects, etc?

Dvorsky, McCallum and Musty combine for 7G 7A, +16, so Ken splits them up today.

Makes sense.

It does make sense today as Delic & Villeneuve are out
