Sudbury Wolves 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

[billoink]

Musty is on a different level of late, Blonda has the foot speed of a Ryan Ellis, this kid is going to be elite. Team is so pumped right now and have the confidence if they face Barrie or Oshawa. Sent both teams home with a message.

Whatever this team is doing on game day they need to stick with it. Eat the same, drink the same, where the same clothes whatever it is don't stop doing it. These past 4 games has been something I thought they were not capable of considering how they were playing month pervious. Koodos to them for showing up and proving us all wrong. Nothing further needs to be said they all did their jobs.

I have noticed and that’s one of the reasons I said I think he can do more. If we see it I’m sure Barney sees it. He just chooses not to play him more for whatever reason.
He's one of those players that you have to be aware when he’s on the ice. Definitely a fan favourite has his own cheering section at that barn, and I like that when he throws hits they’re clean, and for the most part he stays out of the box playing as physical as he does. Playoffs are around the corner and he’ll be the type of player that will benefit the team with his style of play. That’s if they play him

Well said.

Outside of more consistent play Wolves should really be working to clamp down on penalties down the stretch heading into the playoffs. 3 of the top 9 penalty minute players in the OHL are on the Wolves, that won't end well in the playoffs.

Absolutely if the team is really united, and the players really do play for each other. There really should be no room for hurting the team with stupid penalties.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Can't explain it but it feels like the team plays much better in front of Marshall

I was thinking tonight he might be the better goalie.

Great game for the wolves...not quite sure what to think about the refs. Clinched a play off spot now..

One person in section 13 was taken out in handcuffs. Took the police quite a bit to get him to voluntarily leave. Was hoping to see him ride the lightning but alas he finally cooperated.

This person had mental issues and kept calling 911. Not a danger to anyone in the arena.

Love the lines and D pairings. Everyone contributes. Everyone knows their role. Way more north/south Fast hockey. Smothers opposition.
No turning back. No pressure to move up. Just stay with the game plan and be disciplined. I saw a bunch of men today beat the Colts.
Kids are growing up.
So proud of this group!
Congrats

Just to highlight the unpredictably of OHL hockey, in the depths of a bad slump I tried to talk some posters of the ledge on Feb.23 by writing we still have time to turn things around.
We were running Paps out of town and criticizing everything and everyone associated to our team. Well, well, well. Here we are in the playoffs and coming off a 4 game heater against some of the East’s best teams. I hope everyone is feeling better now.
Enjoy the ride Wolfer fans… they need our support and positivity.

What a game! I don't want to jinx anything but it seems like the Wolves have found their groove again. Marsh is on fire between the pipes, Mews + Roberts both seem to be improving, the young guys on the roster are playing fast hockey, and even Musty seems to be buying in.

I ended up bringing 5 people out to the barn yesterday afternoon. The team seems to play better in the old barn.

We're headed to the playoffs!

listening to Coughlin interview after the game the Wolves brought in a Leadership Coach and spoke to the team. It has helped the team according to him, interesting.

Musty has been HIM the last 4 games. Super impressed with how his game has really changed for the better for the team. He's always been a very high end calibre player, nice to see it finally all coming together, both offensively and defensively. Shows what happens when your best player is bought in. Keep it going boys ! Was at Wednesday and Fridays game and watched Sunday on TV, can really see fans being more engaged again and getting hyped for a playoff run.

 

[djscooter]

If the wolves need inspiration they just need to look at the 06-07 team that went to the finals. Team underachieved a lot of the year, bought at the deadline, and put it all together when it mattered in the playoffs. Still need to see it for a bigger stretch then 4 games before I believe it, but it's certainly a move in the right direction by the players.

 

[billoink]

Our last two games against Barrie and Oshawa could very well be a preview of who we will meet in the playoffs. Both these teams will have a different outlook on the Wolves. They realize they better be on their game.
