Windsor Spitfires 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 6)

[hockeylegend11]

I'd imagine Woodall would have been brought up if Dionicio was suspended. I don't know if he'll still play or not, esp given LaSalle's schedule.

Well he play tonight but not tomorrow vs Sarnia,would be 4 in a row,that's not allowed I believe, hence why Davis and Stewart appear to be out.

 

[windsor7]

Well nice to see Donicio will not be suspended after last night's expulsion from the game proves one the on ice officials got it wrong,with Dionicio 's past if they were correct a suspension would have been dealt out,it was not a head check and video clearly showed that it wasn't.
Nice break London got on that play,Windsor's best Dman since the trade deadline,defensively and having 29 points in 23 games since arriving, 3 players,including Abraham and Harrison and Dionicio point plus per game players and the team's best defensive D Sobelev out huge factor Windsor didn't get 2 points in the game last night,London didn't have btw any point plus per game players out,or 2 D-men in their top 3 missing, just role players big difference out ,2 of them,Sim and DelMonte.
Factors are different then excuses,hockey people know that,most London fans dont or wont acknowledge it
Moving on.

Windsor lost.
no need to list the excuses.
They need to be prepared for tonight.
short memory hopefully.

The league got it right upon review. It was debatable to even be a 2 min but definitely was never a 5 min major. The game last week 5 was called in the Peer hit and was retracted to no penalty on review. That is what should have happened last night. Players putting themselves in a dangerous position by choice should not be rewarded with calls that look bad on initial impression. He turned to the inside, off balance and head low and not even looking in the direction his body was going. Crunch came no malice by Dionicio nor raised elbow or jumped up in the hit. Player looked like someone who ran into a parking meter. Blame the meter lol.

I never count shootout losses as losses and never will.
Factors are not excuses.
And the league doesn't count them as wins in the category ROW's either and that can be an important distinction which you fail to grasp.

always something when they happen to lose...

Not why everyone blaming the refs on the 5 min major. Sometimes the position they are standing at makes it look worse. They probably just called a 5 and figured a review would clear it up. It isn’t the refs faulty the tablets kept freezing up if that’s actually what happened. If there was an issue with tablets that’s just something else that doesn’t work well at that arena. Some complain about the 2 5 on 3’s london got. The only call i thought got messed up was renwick getting slashed by cowan and getting a penalty for something that happened like 5 sec earlier that wast being called.

I'm not blaming the results of the game on the 5 min penalty. It is however 5 minutes in a key game we couldn't use offensively. The penalties were lop sided though visually both teams had a equal number of infractions that were called and many non-calls. Yes the Spits need to play more disciplined. Sometimes calls go against you because your overall effort looks lacking or lazy which can set the refs mood in their heads

I didn’t mean to imply that penalty is why they lost. Just that if they didn’t have a replay to look at it kinda makes it hard to change. Some just make it seem like because it was London it why this stuff happened.

 

[OHLTG]

Carson Woodall is making his OHL debut tonight and will wear #24.

 

[TheGremlin]

Looks like Onuska starting, Martin in the lineup, sobolev is back. No Jodoin, abraham, harrison. Going 10 F and 7 D.

 

[windsor7]

Onuska starts

 

[DetSpitsFan]

Good game to give Onuska the start, glad Joey got the go yesterday and likely tomorrow.

Excited to see Woodall - Our 06’ group has been impressive so far. Low expectations for now, but curious to get a look at him.

Thrilled Sobolev returns and hopefully Jodoin’s healthy soon. We could use the body in the front end while 3 of our Top 9, stay out of the lineup.

For what it’s worth saw Abraham and Harrison hanging out pregame Thursday. Both seemed in good spirits and didn’t see any notable injuries (casts/crutches/slings/etc). Hopefully they return soon.

Do you hold the same standard when posting other teams records?
If so, good.

 

[Generalsupdates]

No suspension for Dionicio. So the league is saying there was definitively no head contact as Dionicio is a repeat offender so if it was even close, he probably would've gotten games.

 

[RayzorIsDull]

If so, good.

Spits are undefeated when scoring more goals than the opponent.

Spits are winless when they give up more goals than the opponent.

Stay tuned for my March Spitfires Newsletter.

careless dumb turnovers
defense standing still
onuska saved their bacon a few times already in this game.
Lots of time to turn it around though.

 

[ohloutsider]

Can't get the game. No power here. Updates appreciated.

 

[TheGremlin]

Well shots are 17-7 for flint after 1.

Not surprised.

 

[SpitfireHabs1]

Flint just wants it more so far, out willed and skilled so far. Onuska has brang his A game so far which is good to see because there could be 3 or 4 in the back of our net if he wasn't!! Let's hope the boys reward his good goaltending with a way better last 40 or The firebirds are going to take the 2 points from us, hope the boys didnt think this contest was a walk thru to the big match tomorrow.

 

[punch1943]

SPits trail 1-0 after 1st. Onuska playing very well. Could easily be 3. Zip

flint up 1 to 0 after 1.

 

[TheGremlin]

Not surprised.

Not a good start to 2nd. 29 seconds in it 2-0

 

[windsor7]

Peer looks to have something wrong with shoulder.
leaves ice.

 

[spits]

The Peer injury looked serious, might be down to 8-9 forwards tomorrow night, likely another loss.
