I'm suggesting that this organization is terrible with injury timelines and we never know who's coming or going. I understand some of it is privacy and maybe holding your cards close to your chest. But even something like day-to-day or week-to-week. Any type of communication from management on injuries would be great.
He has shown year after year he can’t play with the big boys, if he is not replaced as soon as this season ends Dario is admitting this team is far from his number one priority. Coaches, players and fans deserve better.
You're right, sad but true. There were several times when Walton made a poor decision to pass and then watched while the defensive player skated away. Just watched and skated slowly behind the play. Musty as well. No motivation whatsoever.My niece lives in southern Ontario and was at the game in Brantford last night.
She doesn't follow the Wolves closely or know who any of the players are.
Her take was that 88 and 22 looked like they were just out for a skate.
Imagine that!
Our two leading scorers, basically disinterested, and not making any effort.
Sad state of affairs.
It's actually disgusting to see how Walton is coasting around the last several weeks! In fact disappointing. If he's hurt then rest him if he's just playing poorly and not making an effort then sit him. A message has to be sent if that is the case. The effort from the first half to the second is not even close.
I remember someone saying 10 or so pages ago that Walton alone was worth the price of admission, and I had to agree.
I would agree with #22, but not #88. I thought he had a strong game last night and is starting to show the offensive skill by jumping up on rush. I love that they made new D Pairings. Roberts/DeAngelis and McCoy/ Roberts. I think over time they will only get better.My niece lives in southern Ontario and was at the game in Brantford last night.

I don’t care if he scores 150pts this season, the lack of effort (anywhere on the ice), turnovers, lack of D play in own zone will turn off any pro team. The kid needs to be severely re-directed and show Wolves’s fans that he REALLY wants it. REALLY want to play a complete 200ft. game. If he comes to that realization Winnipeg has a great prospect, until he changes his ways he’s going no where (maybe school). Same goes for #13, pls just make D play a priority.
I'd hope he's not an OA option, he's just an an OHL caliber hockey player. For that matter I think Roberts wouldn't be without his last name and family either. Defense won't be pretty next year.
Reality is it's likely between Coughlan, Pharand, Ewels and Roberts for OA. Remaining options would be Molnar, Street, Digi. That's without any other moves and really we don't have many assets to bring in others OAs
Hopefully they don't feel they have to carry three, I'd rather see Coughlan and two spots used for younger players during the rebuild.
Depends on training camp, whoever they draft in April, only a max of 3 of them can make the roster. 4 of the OA candidates will be gone, our 3 existing OAs will be gone and Chucky will be gone.
Well put, you can add Delic to the list of 88 and 22. What you are seeing in the second half of this season is lack of discipline, over playing the top six leading to a lack-of confidence in some players especially Blonda. Coaching staff is following the direction laid out by the GM and rubber stamped by the owner who still thinks his GM can do no wrong. Dario does so much for this community time to start doing the same for the hockey club.
Musty should be just as dominate as a Lardis etc and he plain isn’t! Walton unless suffering some personal issues should be downright embarrassed of his play as of late. No way Pharand is a number one pick and some of the others are “good” and that’s it. Team suffers from lack of finish, opting for high risk plays near the blue line and globetrotter like passing rather than keeping things simple, getting in shooting lanes and directing the puck at the net as much as possible. Much better effort but let’s face it,Krawchuck was the only reason the game didn’t get away. I believe I’ve been justifiably critical but I’l tell you one thing the kid is a gamer.
