[OHLTG]

You did? Partial quote, well done lol.
Dig deeper. Its easily accesdible info tonprovide context.
The analysis will hold more value and be more revelant

Did you want me to quote the entire post when I just needed a part of it? Sorry for saving space? lol

Show me where to get the "strength of opponent" stats online. Just leave a link here or send to me in PM. I haven't seen any so would be interested.

Refs r a bit confused this game

Typical ohl.

Turned spits game on in the 3rd for the first time in awhile and realized i don’t listen cause of Bell. He needs to go. Pavia needs to be the guy. He can actually call a game seeing things from both sides. Bell made it sound like Peer was just killed. From what i’ve read it was a shoulder on shoulder hit. I’m not sure how some tolerate him.

4-1 Ottawa... but far from Onuska's fault. A real goaltending battle.

Another loss. I am starting to doubt that this team is a legit contender. They can't beat the other top teams, and feast on the bad teams. They are now 1-4 in their last 5 games against a #1-4 seed with the only win against Saginaw (who's not really a #4 seed anymore). Also 0-4 in their last 4 games against a top 4 seed from the East.

It's also quite sad to have Wright out for load maintenance against a team like Ottawa. Ya they'll beat a horrible Kingston team on Sunday but that's nothing to celebrate.

In my view they need to beat London AND Sarnia next weekend to show they are a legit contender. My guess is Wright will be out due to load management for Thursday and Onuska will be in goal. Time for management and the coaching staff to look like they want to win games instead of starting backup goalies against top teams.

Quality scoring chances against also should be considered as well as opponents.
Agreed thou a goalie can get a W or L in spite of individual performance but basic/simple stats need context.

This is olin redponse to other posts.....notvthe one quoted.......As far as Wright goes I get the frustration but the goal is PO success not reg season. They are set as a top 2 seed.
And when they traded for him the org. knew Seattle would be the ones making decisions IF an injury happened and unfortunately it did. I can't blame Seatltle for wanting to be in control of the process as TG n others have mentioned. Ya pay a big price ( i think the cost will be more accurately sssessed in the off season) ya roll the dice.
He is a big investment. I think Razor might be correct with the plan was caution, play a game, rest n evaluate and then play it by ear.
His long term goal isnt Spits success unfortunately, it's NHL success. I hope he is back n healthy soon thou. He will help the team.

I think you are blowing unicorns out if your butt.

He will only help the team if he’s on the ice, and so far he’s only contributed marginally.

Not watching but how is a 4-1 hockey game a goaltending battle? I sometimes wonder what you are watching?

 

[windsor7]

Maggio continues to be targeted by teams.
Not much of a push back from any Windsor players.

I'm watching Onuska make 41 saves, many of the acrobatic variety. Even the Ottawa announcers are saying he's been impressive.

 

[windsor7]

That 6 goal shouldn't count.
Not like it matters in a blowout

 

[OHLTG]

Props to Savard for arguing it. From the replay, I can see why it'd be tough to get up when the 67's player is between your legs.

6-1 final with 50+ shots for Ottawa. Windsor has to figure this out. They're too good to be losing like this.

too many passengers.
They should win against Kingston and everything will be good again. Wont it...

 

[spits]

Does anyone notice how inconsistent Brett Harrison is? He has some good games then completely disappears for multiple games at a time. Since that hat trick against Flint, he has done absolutely nothing, 1 point and a -3 in his last four games. Almost forget he is even playing. He needs to be better.

All of a sudden this team can't score goals. 9 goals in their last 4 games??? They'll beat Kingston who is playing 3 games in 2.5 days but can they beat London and Sarnia? Probably not.

Exactly! Magg is 100% all in every game and his teammates need to rally around him.

The Spits alow the opposition to own the front of our net. We go near the other teams crease and it's flies to shit. Forwards lazy watching players skate in. Multiple occasions 1 67's player skates dead center through the neutral zone and our 3 forwards swipe with their sticks like broomball. Onuska played great considering the seige of 50 plus shots. PP dead again tonight but at least there were less drop passes. They knew they could and did bully us every opportunity. Word is out on how to play this soft team. Ouch. I'm not confident even against Kingston now. Next week is even worse schedule with Knights, Flint and Sarnia. Need to right the ship if possible.

The schedule for both goaltenders has been posted on here previously. You are on here every day. If you vant appreciate that stats should be viewed with context

The schedule/opponents of each goaltender was posted on here previously. And the strength of competition was one sided early in the year and thru the mid season. If you missed it it is easy to look up on the OHL site or the Spits site.
If you choose to not want to apply context to simple stats I can't help you.
If you are interested look back thru the threads or look at who Windsor started in goal and who they played. Pretty simple.
And use your eye test on quality scoring chances. It's simple. Or take the Legendary approach n be selective.

This team isn't good enough for a deep playoff run. IF the scoring dries up like it is now, they get blown out of the building. Allowed another 50 shots tonight... just brutal. Can't see them beating London or Sarna in a playoff series.

For context, ya the entire post and what prompted my response was revelant lol

London wins again, after tomorrow, London will be 4 points ahead. That about does it for any thoughts of 1st in the conference, meaning Sarnia in the 2nd round and a quick exit. Hey, maybe Wright will be out of load management protocol by the playoffs.

 

[DetSpitsFan]

Geez Dionicco is arguably our best center right now. He is amped up or maybe the team thinks playing 3D on line may help. Obviously Savard is not happy with a few.

Rodwin Dionicio, the best defensemen and forward acquired by Windsor this season

The Wright stuff is frustrating to me. Hope he’s healthy but was this all disclosed before the trade? There was no “oh he hurt his ankle moment” that would typically justify the quantity of time missed in Windsor. If this was a pre existing injury, maybe there is no second part to that deal.

Hope he’s good for playoffs, but I think this team has to figure out stuff before then. I’m fine with guys slotting up and down but it is a bit too much of a mashup for my liking. Plus when this team wins, they’ll string together 7-8 in a row. Unfortunately, when this team loses, they do the same thing just to a smaller extent. 3-4 Ls in a row.

As long as those don’t happen against one team, in one series, we’re okay. However, I’m starting to grow concerned (not just with the recent two games)

Bit premature to crown London, their next 8 games are on the road, and no gimmes...tough schedule. Next home game is 3 weeks tonight.

London plays a great defensive game and always seems to win the close games. I think in 4 of their last 5 wins they were actually losing in the 3rd period and came back to win. They never lose in OT either. Windsor can't win low scoring games. Oh and London has the best road record in the OHL.

Load management = Coming across as chicken shit.

Totally agree. Spits are still right there. LK will/should still have a hiccup for sure. Door is still open.
