Windsor Spitfires 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 6)

[Earlofpoundcake]

Savard said the Onuska and Costanzo are battling to see who gets the game 1 playoff start, it's still not clear to him? LOL.

well they failed this challenge

 

[OHLTG]

Ugly games are going to happen on occasion. Finish this one strong, avoid injury/suspension, and move on to Wednesday.

 

[spits]

Maybe a conditioning problem
U still have to play defense regardless...

Conditioning problem, um what?? Playing your top guys 30 minutes a night because of injuries is incredibly exhausting. They have been doing this for 3 weeks due to the barrage of injuries. How can you possibly call it a conditioning problem? C'mon now.

Blind faith..

 

[spits]

Blind faith..

Ok... at this point you are just trolling man, not worth the time.

 

[OHLTG]

Was it conditioning last night when they won 3-0? No. This is a team that's having an out-of-sync game, sketchy goaltending, and ready to head home. It's not fun to watch, but it happens.

When blinders come into it..

 

[OHLTG]

Dionicio makes it 6-2.

 

[windsor7]

Windsor with a little push back.

 

[ohloutsider]

Clearly Marc sees Onuska as the goalie he wants ready for the playoffs. I sure hope this does not backfire on him.

Well not like we didn't warn him!

 

[TheGremlin]

good new is the Flyers took a 2-0 series lead against the Vipers. Could be down 3-0 after tomorrow.

If Onuska struggling getting up then why is he still playing. Savard making sure he gets hurt good ?

It should be Joey in playoffs.
They don't have another option.
Which leaves the team handcuffed a bit..

 

[OHLTG]

Hard to tell if Onuska is frustrated, tired, or dealing with an issue... but he's not his normal self.

 

[spits]

Spitfires continue to see very little power play time. They spent a grand total of 8 minutes on the PP this weekend.

The team playing differently when O is in goal. Not the same gumption.

 

[windsor7]

Thank goodness that's done..
London lost.

 

[OHLTG]

8-2 final.

On a slightly bright side - London lost, too.

 

[spits]

Thanks to Flint for beating London. Best it's all meaningless if Savard continues to play a certain goalie. Why do I get the feeling Onuska is starting Wednesday and Friday?

Safe to assume you haven’t seen the games or read the lineups and noticed the Spits dressed 7 signed forwards lol

I seen it.
Lots of injuries last couple years.
Windsor issues...

Ok if O isnt hurt ill eat crow!! Same nagging issue looks to be awake again. Better have another one ready. The strength and conditioning coach needs to go. Frequently injuries are caused by poor body readiness. Total let down tonight. 55 shots allowed is inexcusable to that team. Lots of blame to go around. Need a sit down with O, Savard and BB. This needs to end for all to get past it. You also gotta realize players have certain “stipulations “ in contracts, maybe some hands are tied?? I dont have any knowledge of O’s team contract but it might answer some questions. Ill say this, without serious intervention this team could be in trouble very quickly.

 

[ohloutsider]

13 goals allowed in 2 games. There is no confidence left in his game or the guys in front of him.
Spits with the injuries they have can't really play catch up hockey. Game has to be close for them to have a shot. Going to be tough to not fall to 3rd. They have 3 tough games left and need 3 points.
Still won't be shocked if Onuska gets Wednesday to have a chance to prove he is number 1.

Stat guy back tomorrow so we should get the numbers.

You make it sound so dire lol. The injuries are just bad luck, the conditioning doesn't appear to be an issue at all. Any team in the league would struggle with 7 OHL forwards for almost a month straight.

Regarding O, simply start Constanzo, and problem solved.

Have you watched the last 10 or so games? This many injuries is not bad luck. Conditioning is quickly becoming an issue, playoff hockey is far tougher, 7 forwards for a month, you dont think weve got some worn out players?? Simply start Joey? Great but your ok with 1 guy? Always hope im wrong but my experience says otherwise but yep i could be wrong. Time will tell.
