But they weren't good enough to get that, in reality.
Yes it was very surprising to us OHL fans and more specifically Spits fans but you are what your record says you are. They weren't good enough.

Temper expectations? He played 63 games last year 41 points +10. He has 3 games to play to score 4 points to tie last year PPG. However, there is a -47 plus minus deficit from last year. Last year he did engage some physicality. If you cannot see that he has seriously regressed this year is being blind. Not to be sharp but the increased ice time playing with our top players and 1.5 minutes of every PP, he should have destroyed his point total even if he didn't improve his defensive approach. Neither has happened. I must be blind, except all the scouts see the same thing. 74 was our 1st round pick. Woodall was a 10th rounder with some bite, same size and can meet 74's offense now, but with half the OHL experience. Is Woodall a total stop gap defensively, no. But I believe he projects ahead of 74 long term. Bad 1st round 06 pick by Bowler, hpwever congratulations on a great 10th round pick.
There are sites where you can get info n stats, can't remember where, sorry. And it's not the plus/minus 80s stats some really on selectively
.Christo is what he is. And could be a very important piece on a back end as a 3/4 yr player. Seems like he is being asked to be more than he is currently, due to the roster make up. He isnt a #1 now.
Having said that the tire pumping by a select few who have an interest in always shinning positives Hasn't helped him with fans. He was touted as in same league as Dickinson.......that's what selective stat watching does.
Again I think he could be a very very good OHL player on a team with a make that compliments him. If his head is on straight as far as not getting frustrated puts in the work and uses this year as a learning experience he will be worth holding onto. Kid has skills, just isn't a 5 tool player.

Eyes 
on the Pete’s vs Ice Dogs in Peterborough tonight. Hoping the Pete’s win which would allow them to pass the Spits in the standings and put us in line for 19th place.

Costanzo in goal. Manzo out. Abraham back in. The rest of the lineup is the same, I believe.
Joey is the only reason why soo is not up a ton after 1 period
Joey really strong period thankfully. Is it just me or is it despectful for a player to shoot the puck into your own met after a goal? 74 has done it tonight and 3 times in the last 4 games

Shooting the puck into your own goal after you're scored on? Nah, I've seen that dozens of times over the years and nobody says a peep about it. Now, shooting the puck into the other goal after you scored? Much different.
An expected start tonight - quick goal, but then Soo takes over. Costanzo playing like a rock with 20 saves so far.

Your goalie is playing great, I don't like it regardless of the score by any player. Shoot it down the ice ok. In your own net. NOT

I don't know if it's Cristoforo or not. Nobody has said anything regarding player, fan, staff, etc. I just hope they're okay, regardless of who it is.
With that said... props to Nesbitt for standing up for Gaymes in a tilt with Evans. He'll get the instigator but that's worth it.
Yes 74 had a medical emergency, stop calling the young man 'Charmin'.

Spitfires' Twitter confirms Cristofor had a medical emergency during the intermission, is being taken care of by medical staff, and will not return to the game. Say what you want about the kid but I really hope he's okay and wouldn't wish that upon anyone.
