Yes Spits win a period against the Knights. Now we will see what the rest of the game brings.

Hunter usually does make changes.
Some just don't...

Solid period for the Spits. Toms penalty was a WTF. Old days hitting the puck before the skate was never a tripping but not nowadays. I really liking Gaymes tenacity.

Yes also impressed with Gaymes,15th round pick in 2022 same year as Greentree,Davis and group.
Expect him to be a full time player next year.
Spits nice success with 15th round picks,Morneau the last good one

Gaymes is making a case for a spot next season.

Bring in an OA D and maybe an OA F if there's an upgrade on Morneau, for a reasonable price. Abraham is your OA F to start.

Our 05s would have been good if we kept them. Miedema/O'FL/Ride >> Struthers/Greenwell/Toms, which is essentially who replaced them this season.

I don’t know if I’d say good, but better, yes. But Struthers and Tom’s are 04’s. I’m content with the trades we made for them, even if the Wright acquisition didn’t lead to what anyone hoped. At the time, fine trade. Not having Meidema now? Meh. Whatever. Pretty sure if we wanted OFlaherty back, that’s an option next year. Might be better than the other 05’s we’ll have, before any trades

I agree, I’m curious does anyone prefer Smith to Morneau? Neither I think will have breakout OA years.

For some reason I forgot Gaymes was an 06. I’d love to see a larger sample, but in his little time on call-ups, I’ve liked him. Again, small sample, but he came into tonight matching Winegard in points, in 51 less games lol.

Both should be gone.
However what team wants them??

 

[windsor7]

74 lazily comes back in the d zone just in time to see London score in front of him.
What urgency lol

 

[TheGremlin]

Well at least they had 1 really good period.

This is an angry London team against a Windsor team that can't hang with them.

When players play soft..

Agreed - Winegard should have put Leonard on his butt in front of the net.

I wonder who's responsible for that? Ironic the Savage's are great business people but have interests in 2 sinking ships with the Spits and Sens. Don't worry you won't hear anything from them though.

That's 1 goal.
Someone else plays soft all game long..

 

[OHLTG]

Windsor might (likely) lose this one but they're not giving up. I can appreciate that.

Chalk up another moral victory. Get that car flag out.

Windsor most likely is a 2nd thought to them..

 

[Cherrydon]

I'm sure most have noticed 74 has a habit of pointing at a opposing player as in someone should cover him, the laugh it is his man to cover that he is pointing at. Constantly does it. Quite humorous

He should just stop all the bad habits and just focus on playing defense.
Charmin soft..

 

[ohloutsider]

Greentree looks tired or maybe nursing any injury? I feel for him missing that empty net chance!

He's getting double covered most of year.
Teans know if u shut down the best player better chance to win.

 

[windsor7]

U just can't leave Cowan than wide open

 

[OHLTG]

4-3 London but not as bad of a game as I anticipated. Windsor didn't quit, stayed disciplined, and gave London all they could handle. Heck, Cristoforo blocks an empty netter to prevent another 5-goal outing. Props to him for that.

Onto Saginaw tomorrow.

 

[Cherrydon]

Costanzo held them in it, great effort. If they played that hard every game we wouldn't be in last place. Hopefully, that's what we see all next season. Had london scared most of the night in a must win for them. Good job boys!
