Sudbury Wolves 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

Sure would be nice if the wolves had their top defensive D and captain going into double OT... Playing 3 lines and mostly 4 D, I worry about their energy as this goes deeper. Kingston definitely has more capable depth.

Dump and don't chase strategy did not pay off. I think we need to get the brooms ready sadly. Kingston just wants it more. Nice sucker punch on Musty during the Kingston celebration too.

Win Tuesday and it’s not over.

Wolves have showed up for a total of 1 period through 2 games. Need big changes if they expect to win. 35 shots on net in a double OT game. Team just does not have the offensive talent. Their passing is a mess, they can't enter the zone with possession. They look like a team who has not even practiced together.

I hope they can do better Tuesday. The positive is Krawchuk kept them in it when the rest of the team disappeared. Some of the younger guys like Henderson, Clayton, even Kearns showed well.

Slight glimpse of what Kearns will be for the next 3-4 years. Will be a beast. We can never deal him. That's our future toughness on the backend. Clayton for not playing for so long have to give it to him. Henderson still young and plays all out. Need more from Chitaroni but I think he's still hurt. Molnar and Coughlan and Pharand have to more their feet more. They look slow. Musty did what needed to for the first game back and even committed his body blocking shots. Walton and Villy got on the scoresheet and can't ask for more. Mews played well in his own end today. We just have to find a way to control the boards down low and keep possession of the puck for longer than 3 seconds. As for Chucky he will stop some big chances but we know one softy will always happen each game. Especially when are constantly defending in our own end. But I will take the effort that's all we can ask for from a team that was decimated by injuries to the playoffs. Missing Delic's speed in a series like this.

Lost concentration/ focus. Perhaps weary. The end game, stoppable puck.

With goalies it’s “when” you stop them that matters most. Kinda sucks. Played great and misses that one. As well as he’s played that’s two bad ones in two games. Regardless Wolves not generating enough. Good news I was even less impressed with the Fronts.

I thought Deangelis could have done a better job on the OT goal, should have met him at the blue line, Heyes had the puck from his own blue line. Im disappointed in his game he seems to have packed it in for me.

Could be over taxed. Can’t be expected to prevent a routine shot on net. Let’s hope Chucky is mentally tough because he’ll need to shake this off ASAP.

Confused…..what are “very specific automatic suspensions”
Click to expand...
From my memory things that are dictated as "automatic" in the rulebook, like removing someone's helmet in a fight, or fighting off a faceoff, etc. Where as a crosscheck to the face would be something that is reviewed by the league for a suspension and not automatic.

Once again, I could very well be wrong, but this is the best of my memory on it.

I’d be surprised if it’s not one or two.

McCoy is going to get 2 games for that. It’s what they want out of the game.

I have no idea why Musty tried to chase down Heyes after he scored only to get grazed in the face and play dead.

Some of the post whistle stuff was a bit embarrassing.
Sudbury when they started playing hockey and stopped running around looked pretty solid in the third.
Unfortunately I don’t think guys like Villy, Street, musty will be able to contain their emotions with how badly they are being outplayed.
Krawlchuck was amazing though.

All good points.

I think Kingston is a good skating team and their puck possession against the wolves has been pretty good. Specially in game 1. Perhaps that speaks to them having overall better talent upfront?
