Sudbury Wolves 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Wolfman Jack]

What have I been saying!!! These coaches have got these players developing at a rate we have never seen in years. The defensive awareness have given teams limited scoring opportunities and have frustrated them on the PP. Don't mind seeing them grind out wins in this fashion. Low scoring tight checking games. I'm curious how the opposition coaches must think when they play us now. Never have they seen a Sudbury team playing this style. For years they have had their way in our zone. To date those games are far and few between.

As for the goalies they finally have support from their forwards and that is limiting scoring chances or breaking up plays in the red zone area. Can't be happier with the development and style these young players are learning. Clayton, Henderson, Dean and Doucet are quite young. This experience will translate into very strong vet players.

So much to look forward to this season. I wish the fans will come out and support this young and exciting team. Including the bench bosses who are constantly engaged in the game.

Musty who!!!

Seriously, with each passing game the error of Musty's decision grows. These boys are disciplined, dedicated, playing 200 ft., and working as a team. It really is a breath of fresh air, and any fan will be pleased with the season, regardless of finish, if they keep playing this way. Love it.

Not enough being said about our goaltending: Chucky, Chucky, Chucky!!

No doubt about it, he played well last night. The more I see Henderson and Clayton the more excited I get. I’m gonna have fun watching them over the next couple of years

I still can’t get over the play coming from Coughlan. 8 goals already this year, and hasn’t taken many stupid penalties. Yesterday after getting punched by Ride, saw the arm was up and was just laughing while they brought the North Bay player to the box. Not sure what changed with him but he’s been impactful in a way I didn’t expect!

IMO, he has matured more both physically and mentally. Physically it has helped him with the scoring and the mental side of it he’s thinking more before he acts. Obviously nobody is perfect, so I still expect that he will have lapses and take the odd dumb penalty, but I too have been blown away with the strides he has made so far over the course of this past summer.

Also kudos to the coaching staff as they appear to be having a wildly good impact on this team!!

GO WOLVES GO!!

When CG attended Main Camp late summer his skating was noticeably better and at a higher level. He obviously put the work in during the off season. Congrats Chase!!

With his great play on the ice and his role in the next season of Shoresy, i'm thinking Coughlan is going to be a fan favourite.

 

[Between The Goalpost]

Should be a good game today. Don't want to get too cocky but the matchup is looking great for the Wolves!

Wish I wasn't working so late or else I would be in the stands!

What's with the new ugly sponsorship patch on the front of the jersey. Do we really need more ads? I don't think I've seen other OHL teams with sponsor patches on the front of their jersey.

Someone in another thread mentioned that Quentin Musty had demanded a trade and was wondering why he did so? Is it just a case of "I don't think this team will be any good so trade me to a contender" or something else?

What are the crowds like notice no attendance figures in last home game on the box score.

Was wondering the same thing with the dogs. Is it due to folks not liking the owner or losing over the years? I remember you guys having good fan support

Likely that yes also if rumours are true that he wants to play in Erie- it’s only an hour and 22 mins away from his hometown of Hamburg New York so maybe he wants to play closer to home as well

 

[I Loveallsports]

Finn with the start. Bruce stays in the lineup. O'Dell out. Klinkhammer hasnt played in weeks.

Probably didn’t help increasing the ticket prices but looks like tickets sales going good for Barrie and your team visit next weekend tge fans who show up are due hard core fans and the arena been loud

So he wants to be closer to home? That gives me an idea:

Is Klinkhammer injured of just a healthy scratch?

No idea but, can't see he would replace in lineup. He's a 4th line player. We have rookies holding their own on that line.

Good stuff. Wish you luck.

 

[djscooter]

We jinxed it with Coughlan. What an absolutely boneheaded sequence.

Veterans on this team need to do better. Another dumb penalty, this time Delic.

What in the world is going on in the barn?!

Beautiful couple of minutes on the offense and all their hard work results in a goal!

Lots of time left.

Marshall wasn't on his game tonight, 3 shots straight passed him. Two from Pinelli

 

[I Loveallsports]

Not a good start Fri and today. Came back to bite them

Def need some added offence, which I'm sure they're looking at. Some of these youngsters can use some junior B time. We'll see.

So with Chucky leaving the game, good time to ask where is Gaulton?

I have seen him at the games seems like he's just a healthy scratch. A healthy scratch with no where to send him. Espanola and Cubs are already stocked with goalies.
