Windsor Spitfires 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 2)

[Knownothing]

Evola makes solid recommendations… BB makes the decision. Often they arent in lockstep! This year MAY be different. Player MUST have a high compete energy with an edge, team desperately needs that.

Agree fully, high compete is essential

CHLTV also.

Not listed on chltv. The draft is scheduled to be on but not today's press conference.

Edit- there is a link from their website so hopefully that works.

 

[Knownothing]

Is there a link on the Spits web site? Can’t find it

Never mind lol

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Cogeco channel has it, as well

Nobody is live blogging while watching the stream? Can't skate and chew?

If you have not watched the same episode of BBQ in the park 10 times over you don't know what you're missing

just another fumble,
are we blaming the coaching staff for this?

 

[ohloutsider]

So does it start at 11:45 or noon? Seems to be unclear on what time? BBQ in the park, lol.

A certain poster in this thread will blame Cristoforo no doubt.

 

[windsor7]

On at noon it looks.
They made sure cooking show was priority though..

 

[StormWatcher]

It's a great day....................

Bowler doesn't speak well on the microphone..

6'5", 230lb, 2008 born Belchetz.

Excited to see it, and I imagine that size could play an immediate impact even if he's not lighting up the score sheet right away.

 

[windsor7]

Great pick.

 

[Houndzfan20]

Bowler doesn't speak well on the microphone..

Did he say dan sisca did a great job with the oakville blades program? Doesn't he coach Vaughan?

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Alright. A power forward winger who can play any way. Need a good skating, two-way defenseman, and a centre, at 22 & 24.

The season ticket buying day can’t come soon enough!

He struggled thru it

Bowler pretty much alluded to tanking the team which I thought was interesting. I guess you never really know with how tight lipped things can be under him, but it makes me wonder if that was the plan from Day 1. Was Smith appointed just because they knew he’d fail and they wanted a reason to push him out after a decade? 3 picks in the Top 25, doesn’t often happen by accident, makes me wonder how big of a picture he’s looking at.

I also look at Belchetz at 6’5” with him being the potential 3rd tallest player on the team, behind Winegard and Martin. Who are debatably two guys that are here just because of their size. Someone at that size with the skills to back it up, has me excited to see him on the ice. Doesn’t really seem like there’s much concern from him or his family about reporting to Windsor. When the other options are likely Sarnia, who haven’t seen much success and Niagara and their debacle, any top 4 pick ending up in Windsor I’d imagine is happy. Even if they did have a bad year on the ice and fired a coach.
