We all know how these " revenge" games go, literally nothing will happen and they will just play hockey.
Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II
- Thread starter SoupNazi
- Start date
Both teams will be watered down a bit, it should favor Windsor. Keep the extra curricular minimal because we’ll likely have to suit up Martin & Gaymes.
Windsor at Owen Sound,not dressed Mathurin,Lemieux and Winegard, 8th straight for Winegard.
Garden and Manzo back in.
Costanzo starts for Windsor.

Costanzo starts for Windsor.
Knights will be missing Cowan and Bonk for sure, likely Dickinson and maybe Barkey, for those 2 games. I doubt Finland camp will be started yet, so likely Halttunen and Nurmi will play. Any Spits likely to be invited to Canada camp? Not sure when USA camp starts.

Hopefully nothing serious with Mathurin? Can't afford to have him out long.
Don't think any Spits will be at team Canada camp. More likely next year.

Question for anyone that knows. Why does the Rogers broadcast show the singing of the national anthems and why does Cogeco not show them?
Tuned in to AM800 pregame, According to Beller, sounds like nothing serious, just a little banged up so they’re giving him the night off.
Didn’t sound like there was much concern.
Maybe Greentree to Canada Camp? The rumors of Musty not getting an invite because he went the OHL Route makes me think Spellacy is too far down the ranks playing Canadian hockey to get the call. If there’s any truth to the reason being he turned down USNTDP…
He’s got the speed and size but just seems his hands need to catch up a bit.

No surprise. Don’t think he makes it because of how great the states is this year but if he does he’ll be a bottom 6 role. Great for him though. Next year I think he is on team for sure.
Greentree should get an invite.
Abraham was on the bench and ice at the end of the game, but he didn’t see a shift in the third, with Garden getting a good chunk of his minutes.
It does feel he’s underperforming but I didn’t notice anything warranted of riding the pine tonight. He’s drawn back his penalties quite a bit.
It does seem that aside from the Saginaw game with iffy goaltending, he hasn’t really been able to get going.
I feel like Morneau has passed him on the depth chart with constant hustle, and heavily increased productivity with Protas and Greentree

Maybe he is nursing an injury?
If the Spits could mirror Owen Sounds hustle they would be unstoppable. Glad they put it together for the win. Hard place to get any points.
Spits gained another 2 points on the division tonight with Saginaw falling to Brampton and the Soo falling to North Bay.
Both teams have two extra games on us, but the Spits are up 13 on Saginaw and 16 on the Soo.
Might be an interesting deadline. Can Musty even be moved if he’s injured. Saw reports he’ll be out through the deadline with his Broken Hand, that could change things.

Re Abraham you would think if he was nursing an injury and wasn't going to play you would think send him to the room can't confirm if his not playing in the 3rd was injury related,though admittedly he looked different the 1st 2 periods looked lethargic.
That being said strong effort overall by the whole group only allowed 2 even strength goals I will take it,especially with Mathurin out,interesting he has missed 3 games this year so far and the Spits are 2-0-1 without him,have allowed 10 goals but have scored 22 goals one of those 3 games a 12-2 win vs Kitchener, a 5-4 OT loss at Sarnia and to-nights game.
Protas,Greentree, Morneau line on fire lately,Greentree winds up with the winner his 2nd of the season in that category, should mention so far this season 12 different players have scored a game winner this season,Morneau and Nesbitt lead with 3 each.
Ironically Abraham despite being 4th in team scoring has net to notch a winner this season so far,9F and 3D have at least 1.
Even more interesting now in his 4th season he only has 2 career game winners rather surprised when I saw that.
All is not bad he has 5 PPG goals this season 2nd best Greentree leads with 6.
Spits after tonight are now 5-1 in their last 6,and 7-2-1 in their last 10.
Nice to see Costanzo continue his fine play thru these stretches.
