Sudbury Wolves 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 5)

[Isaac Nootin]

Very happy with a 2-1 OTW against the Petes. Points don't really matter right now in my opinion. Let's just stack some W's and finish strong.

Only matters if it comes down to positioning in the standings and if you'd prefer to play Kingston or Oshawa.

Though other teams have a say in that as well.

MacDonell and Misa not adequate?

No, I think the steelheads have weakest centres of all the playoff teams in the conference. Misa backtracks very well I think, but he, MacDonell, and Karmiris are too many physically challenged centres unable to adequately defend their position at this time for one team.

The two announces in the game last night were a pleasure to listen to, so much info about players and Barney, Pharands sister being a goalie heading to Clarkson, Musty his dad was a goalie and his sister is an elite goalie. They were so informed and kept a rather boring game fun to watch. Guess we will have to wait on a update on Musty, will probably rest him no matter what tonight,

Was definitely a nice change from listening to Gary Beech mess up names, or tell us what he had for dinner two weeks ago.

They also mentioned Walton may be NCAA bound

I like that depth players are being given a chance to show what they can do as the stars. We're gonna need everyone come playoffs.

Edit to add; Blonda back in.

How long before Marek announces Musty is done for the year?

If the rumors on the street are true Musty, Mews, Villy and Walton all gone for nothing. All the talk of recouping the assets next season is out the window.

Paps will have not knock it out of the park at the draft this year because no more 2nds or 3rds until 2029 with the exception of 1x 3rd in 2027.

On the plus side we can offer Chovan and Nemec all the ice time in the world.

Yikes. Does anyone know exactly what we've got for draft picks over the next couple years?

Thanks for the picks! Much appreciates.

Here's what Ben had to say on the Musty matter;

No worries working on something roster wise for the wolves in a similar vein

 

[djscooter]

Where's the peanut gallery at. I guess Ben Leeson is lying to us and all these players missed a team meeting too?

Wolves will also have their ‘26 -2,4 picks unless Hage reports.

Musty love is hard with you.

Musty love is hard with you.

Just tired of people reporting rumors from random facebook posts. No different with the latest Walton/Villeneuve stuff, there's enough bad news and mediocrity from this team reported by actual reporters, we don't need to drag in random facebook rumors as well.

funny how you didn't hold up this standard last year towards Coach Ken Mackenzie.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Well, I like to have some more updated news on Musty and hope he’s at least back for the playoffs because without him, any chance of a playoff upset is even slimmer than it is now.

I wish people would just let the season run its course and then deal with the off season stuff. The Sudbury Wolves and every other OHL team will be facing players with options leaving to the NCAA based on the new agreement. The OHL impact will be felt next season while the USHL and other leagues felt it this year. But the positive thing is the draft won't have as many non reporting players. So let the season play out and stop the speculating.

Two shifts in and I'm already reminded why I liked Doucett so much in camp. He does so much, he's physical, he has an active stick already created multiple turnovers. Still not sure why they kept Dean over him, but maybe all the extra ice time Doucett got will work out better for his development.

Chucky is doing it all alone out there yet again.

 

[djscooter]

One of the worst periods of the season so far. Only bright spot beyond Krawchuk has been Doucett, they need his physicality in the lineup every night.

 

[Wolfman Jack]

I really didn't think they had that bad of a period. Some coverage miscues but I thought they were working hard considering who is out of the line up. Doucett sat a couple of players down on his last shift including Barlow. Gotta love the confidence from the young player. Wolves with a bit of luck could of had a goal in that period.

The commentators need to simmer down on the penalty shot call. Pharand made a great defensive play. And easy on the Oster save when Coughlan it the side of the post. Homers for sure I get it but acknowledge the Wolves are playing without their top 5 players tonight. Musty, Villy, Delic, McCoy and DeAngelios.

Can Zulich get us a blimp for the playoffs

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

This is the type of game (being short handed) that should benefit Chucky. Some older guys are already defeated and going thru the motions. This needs to change quickly. Send a f@cking message to the Gens. Show you are worthy to wear the Wolf on your chest and you deserve a spot on the playoff roster…
