Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Fastpace]

Great game considering the 3 in 3 scenario. Nice to see the pp wake up, but the pk took a hit. I said it yesterday that Spits play better on an aggressive pk and not as well when they go stagnant. So last night they dropped into the box and just stood there, wallah 2 goals against. I really hope somebody on the staff figures this out as special teams can be the biggest factor in winning or losing games. Enough negative Nancy stuff, lol.

Nesbitt is becoming a fav of mine. Not only playing better in the offensive zone but much more engaged in the D zone. He was right in the scrums in front of the Spits net. His size is a big help there.
Sorry for some haters but I really like this year's Christoforo. It has been a total turn around from last year. He is now starting to use his body and make some hits. At least he is attempting to play better and try stuff outside his comfort zone. It's a development league, give him some credit. I would prefer to have him over Parekh and thankfully we do.

Costanzo has also had a much better year. Top 5 goalie in the league. Not sure we saw that coming. Better D play in front of him has helped but he is still making timely saves.

2 players I'm hoping more from is Abraham and Woodall. Both are playing OK but not the improvement I was hoping for.

The 4 rookies have been great. Really can't ask for anything better than what they have shown so far. I'm a big Hicks fan but the other 3 have been solid for first year players.

Never had Windsor sitting in 1st place 1/3 of the way into the season on my dance card but I'll take it. Puts alot of pressure on Bowler on what to do at the deadline. I still think the goal is 1st in the division and prep and experience for next year but Bowler should have a feel for what is in the cards for next year and that should drive his decision on this year.

Just like any good GM this time of year, the phone bill is on the rise. Lots of rumors and speculation out there. Trade deadline is only about 6 weeks away so stay tuned.

Be safe.

Maybe, but combined with the full knowledge of junior hockey, common, I don't believe you !

Costanzo starts, surprised to see they are sitting Eichler. Maybe a message in that?

Too early for a trade..

Eichler, Gaymes and Winegard scratched.

 

[ohloutsider]

Eichler, Gaymes and Winegard scratched.

I think this is 6 games in a row now for Wingard?

 

[windsor7]

Windsor caught a break with bad spirit goaltending too with back up n then his back up.

 

[DetSpitsFan]

Yeah, think that’s 6 games on Winegard. Weird seeing Eichler scratched.

Thought the same about Oke Though… I’m keeping tabs on Saginaw, if they bite and start selling.. makes thing interesting

 

[windsor7]

Neither backup from Saginaw can stop the puck.

This is why you dress Martin.

 

[nelli27]

What did Parekh do to receive a match penalty?

Cross check to the face of Martin.

Saginaws HC is a piece of sh_t! He’s instigating much of these shenanigans!! Refs are losing control tonight. Cheap shots and late hits are brutal. Hay isnt much better.

 

[windsor7]

Sharmin talks to the refs a awful lot more than he needs to..

I like your post to say thanks for the reply, and not because Martin got smoked. Hope he's ok.

Martin's fine, when he got back up went after Parekh. Willis jumped in to interfere. Parekh can't even fight his own fights that he started. He will have hard time at the pro level with this crap.

Hay is a gear box, hiding tonight behind the fishbowl

I like the way Walters is responding to this play by Saginaw. Still putting out his number 1 power play unit. Beat them on the score board is the way to get even .

 

[windsor7]

Refs should start throwing players from both sides out. Not hockey.

 

[ohloutsider]

Spits with their 18th win. Much different year than last year when it took them all year to get to 18.

Guo should get a match too! 2 handed baseball swing at Nesbitts head. He missed thankfully.
