Sudbury Wolves 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 5)

  • 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.

i know it's been a tough week but hopped on quick to congratulate y'all on a commitment from Blonda. i was very fortunate to have watched last years u15AAA soo greyhounds team and they were the real deal. grabbing a few players from that squad bodes well for the nickel city.

with the existing connections to the Chitaroni family and the u15 soo greyhounds from last year, I wonder if we will see Terry Chitaroni on the coaching staff in the future? maybe another chitaroni joins the roster after next years draft?

I believe he's an opp officer. Good pension etc. I wouldn't play with that. His other son would be a welcome addition. Rated high.
 
Does anybody else think it’s BS that we haven’t had any comments regarding the end of the season? To me, it’s chickenshit that you can’t bother to address the fans after such a horribly disappointing end to the season. Where are Mackenzie’s game four comments? We were sold a bill of goods, and they didn’t deliver at all. Watching the games on Eastlink is starting to sound pretty appealing. Then, if they’re worth going to see live, I might consider it.

I said goaltending would kill us all year and I still stick to it
Musty, blah blah blah, commitment to team, defence, blah blah blah leadership, blah blah blah, coaching blah blah blah, they may all have contributed, but it was the goal tending more than anything that deflated the entire team. That more than anything else is what did us in. I spoke to several scouts, including the ex GM of the Peterborough Petes and even some Northbay fans who were in total agreement.
Goaltending makes up for a lot. How many times did Northbay allow grade A chance against us? Are they complaining about their team defence lack of structure and all the rest of it? No because their last line of defence was actually able to be their last line of defense. l
Look at the amount of shots and the goals against average in the games. Pathetic and you could see the team had given up in the fourth game and I don’t blame them when you’ve got the first shot going in in back-to-back games and a total meltdown in the third game.
Well, I won’t be posting too often now I’m not that much of a fanatic that all I think about is junior hockey and I’m still on the fence as to what I’m gonna do next year. Swept by North Bay our closest rival and at home to boot. Absolutely shameful. At least my Musty bobble head makes for a good doorstop.

Does anyone really think that the GM and Coach will be exiting the Wolves' organization? All's quiet on the Wolves' front!! Ho hum..
 
If Dario is that gullible that he does not hold his Gm responsible for his complete failure leading up to the trade deadline especially ignoring the goal tending issues which were the worst combo in the ohl then it sends a clear message to the fans he is not all in. Allowing the the team with the most powerful offense in the east to go forward with that big a gaping hole in net is nothing short of criminal. Papineau HAS to be held accountable plain and simple. Dario and his reputation are on the line.

Give it a few weeks. There will almost certainly be a new coach. Depending on contract status,GM isn’t certain to be there going into the summer

Dario's reputation was gone, the second he returned Ken as head coach. He does not care about success of the team, it's all about penny pinching until he's in his new arena.
 
Not showing up for either a meeting or practise...hence he was scratched
Been very well known except for a few people on here that musty has problems off the ice.

When he’s on the ice though he is without a doubt one of the most talented in the OHL.

Playoffs will be interesting. Will he want a long playoff run or to get to the Sharks/Barracuda faster is a huge question and why nobody wanted to trade for him(also the very high demand)

May end up playing you guys round 1.
 
Brantford played a very discipline game and played well organized system, Wolves did not have much room to do much. Wolves did not have one PP, never seen that before.

Would have been nice to have Musty in this game, he has been playing very well as of late, and he can create in a game like this. I heard the same rumour.

I really like our new signing Kearns, he is big, skates well, he even created his one shot on goal, he dangled a few guys and got a shot off on goal. I think he can easily be put in the lineup now.

Chucky rough game, few weak ones got by him, he is really deep in his net should be challenging shooters more.

Walton and Pharand didn't have a good game either, needed to engage more in this game using their size, working harder in the corners.

Off ice issues are to expected when you keep a player who was a known problem last year, who made it known that he didn't want to be here but you refused to trade ultimately forcing him to play for a team he doesn't want to play for. Not sure what anybody expected. I am actually surprised he is playing as good as he is. That being said, he should have been traded, even with the lower value.
