Sudbury Wolves 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[djscooter]

Not sure what's more entertaining watching the Nathan Villeneuve being permanently in the penalty box or watching how clueless these refs are to how the penalty serving rules work.

 

[cub]

these refs. are horrible.

 

[agillarda]

Wow Lombardi really looked hurt on that hit from McCoy to come back and fly into the offensive zone on the PP.

These officials are a bunch of jokes!!! McCoy most 4 minutes for boarding if that.

Unreal!!!

WJ

In all fairness Villy didn't miss a shift on Wednesday when Leskovar got a 5, and even got a goal and assist during the pp, also felt like he played the majority of it.

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

Has Trump cut back On CHL Broadcasting rights? With 35% tariff we only get to watch 75% of this game.

First time I’ve ever watched an OHL game where both teams are playing against the Refs. The Refs persist on making this game all about them…

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

25% Tariff. (fat thumbs)

 

[djscooter]

Roberts should be dressed in orange, an absolute pylon out there. Mews too. Jackson was a better defencemen in every way outside of ability to take dumb penalties.

 

[djscooter]

Great game for Marshall, only faced a handful of shots but most of them were very high quality.

Though Henderson was great, as was Ziliotto(shame he's gone after this year).

I guess good job to the wolves, they showed up for about 25 minutes tonight but still came out with the W.

Wasn't disputing that. Just hope McCoy is back just as fast as Leskovar. In Bramptons case they probably hoped he did get two games because he took several penalties in the North bay game. I personally think he's a liability for Brampton heading into the playoffs.

WJ

Unhearled player for the Wolves tonight. O'Dell blocked many shots and was steady back there. Nothing flashy but protects the home. We need 4 more of him to be honest.

Give props to Musty for blocking several point shots in the last few minutes in the game.

WJ

 

[Wiserbud]

What happened to pull Krawchuk?

 

[StingUpdates]

He has deserved all the flack he's gotten thru the years, but look at Musty blocking multiple point shots at the end to hold the lead! That's gotta fire the team up big time. Shows great maturity as im gonna guess he didn't have 10 blocks combined his first 2-3 years & he got 2or3 there.

It was a good grind out win for the wolves. Guys were sacrificing their bodies and that was good to see. They’re going to need more of that going down the stretch. All the penalties they take is worrisome though because that could cost them come playoff time playing against a good PP team

 

[zoomieking]

Wow if we’re feeling somewhat good about losing 7-3 this season might as well be over, missing a few players or not.
Also am I living in a parallel universe or did Barney say something to the extent that we are trending in the right direction!? What is that 3 wins since the deadline? I’d hate to see what he would consider trending in the wrong direction. As someone mentioned for a team that takes so many penalties outside of Street (who should have been given more ice time long ago) and maybe Coughlin we are pretty soft as most penalties are lazy or stupid and not the result of strong physical play. Not sure what to make of Barney now or the rest of this season but I wouldn’t be surprised if we were out in four or five. As far as finishing six or seventh to me neither would have much bearing on that outcome. Fully prepared for three losses on the roadie.
Any update on the missing players?

I said a few posts back that I think Street could do more than they’re letting him. They let him against Brampton and he had a great game. I’d actually like to see him play with Coughlan or Villeneuve just to see how that would go. Or maybe it would be too physical of a line and they’d take too many penalties lol.. Or try him with Musty. Street separates the man from the puck and that would give Musty more room out there

 

[cub]

pulled out this win very fortunate with the penalties that were taken, credit to killing them off.

I noticed Roberts now on 3rd pairing which I thought it was a good move.

Looks like Krawchuck has a nagging injury, be curious if the Wolves bring a backup for next game. Marshall played great, hopefully he can get back to his old form and gain some confidence.

the McCoy ejection to me was a joke hopefully he is back next game.

 

[billoink]

Probably bring up Vandenberg again OA room now with McCoy suspension.

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Surprised no one is commenting on Walton. Really disappointing effort and appears not invested. Musty showed leadership last night. Grabbing the puck for the new kids first point and blocking shots. Paying the price to win. Hope he carries the same moving forward. They definitely need it. Villy taking retaliatory penalties after the whistle has to stop. Take a number and put your effort on the pp. Make them pay that way.

Hope Chucky isn’t out long term. Not sure why the Wolves have not signed one of their drafted goalies over the past two drafts. There is at least two that were drafted quite high. Another two later with some good reviews. Other teams have recently signed a young goalie I think we need to sign of our picks really soon or risk having to draft another one using a high pick again.

As for McCoy that was the softest major all season. Refs were sold on Lombardi’s walk to the dressing room only to return next shift full stride.

What else can be said about Walton? And Pharand, for that matter.
They've both disappeared, at both ends of the ice, since the trade deadline.
No offence.
No defence
No effort.
Can't understand why Barney continues to give them the icetime he does....

 

[Lycanthrope]

Most of your clarity exists on the nightshift it appears.

WJ

Maybe because there’s 13 hrs diff where I’m at

 

[Lycanthrope]

was that really a legit penalty didn't look bad to me? I didn't think 5 min and misconduct warranted, I need to look at it again

Think you saw it right the first time. No way was it a major. I think it was refs in training night.

It's definitely a weaker call, but there's no reason to forearm someone into the boards like that. Best case scenario he's getting a 2minute minor and putting them two men down anyways. I'm not sure what changed with McCoy from last year to this year, but it's really been a step backwards, I thought he'd be in contention for being one of the best OAs in the OHL this year.

Certainly not leading by example.

I’m pretty sure most are noticing Walton is a shadow of himself. Can’t imagine what’s up with him but he doesn’t look like he wants it nearly bad enough. Certainly has contributed to the slump.
