Thunderbirds 2024-25

5 goals in 10 GP. Not too shabby. That’s gotta be up there in terms of rookie goal scoring I would think.

DVO’s gonna be nice when he’s ready

That was a great shot by Dvorsky. It was an old-fashioned Saturday nite barnburner in Springfield. Sylvegard is the Swingin' Swede.

See it all here. By the way, great job of editing the highlights. Director's Cut.

You see 5 goals, but he has to control his turnovers. They are Kyrouesque getting too cute and fancy. One led to a breakaway and a goal. He needs more time and maturing his overall game.

The no look backhand passes are great if his team is paying attention. Otherwise, they are just major turnovers.

if that’s the main criticism of Dvorsky that’s a good sign that he’s getting more confident with the puck and trying to make plays instead of deferring. Though I haven’t seen him a play full game in Springfield like Perry…

Yeah, the maturing of going from juniors to pros will happen, a reason why he's not ready yet and shouldn't be an option to fill the hole we have at center right now. Hopefully he's ready around the trade deadline when spots will likely open up.

I’m guessing Schoeneman gets called up as he has probably been the most consistent.

I doubt we make any moves.
Leddy should be back pretty soon.

Oof. Springfield is getting absolutely pelted. Top line with Peca and Alexandrov has been horrendous.

Edit: That flipped quickly

Dvorsky with another goal, empty net though.

Dvorsky with another goal, empty net though.

It says more about the fact he is closing out games. Like it.

Yeah, still not a bad thing for him to be out there at the end.

Thunderbirds played an excellent game against a much older experienced top of the division team. There was just no room to skate for either team. I really like the Skinner-Loof pair. Not perfect, but hard to play against and not afraid. Dvo and Kaskimaki along with Sylvie continue to get better together. I think we may be undervaluing Kaskimaki. He can really skate and is very responsible defensively. I see a lower lines top notch PK guy. A more skilled MacEachern. Dvo again needs to clean up the passing. It is frustrating. Then again he is winning and keeping more pucks in board battles. He doesn’t get much time and space either. The other team knows to watch him.

So today, the T birds royally sucked. Ellis kept them in the game like a rock star. No one was exempt from a crap pass that let to a stellar chance the other way. It was that bad. Last minute…holy crap! Light switch came on and they tied it. They did not deserve a point at all. They got smoked.
