Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[OHLTG]

Listed up front with Martin and Garden on the 4th line.

He’s a fine 6/7 D Man. Gaymes is a far better forward… I’d put money on Manzo is too.

Somethings up.

Yep, Gaymes has missed a game or two since mid-November and Manzo's been in 32 of 38 games, including nearly all of Dec/Jan. It feels like something is brewing.

Interesting about Manzo. Don't think he is hurt. Involved in a trade to be announced tomorrow?

Makes one wonder that's for sure.
Wonder if it's the same with Gaymes,I would have had 12F,D today after going with 10F and 8D last night.

Both r replaceable

Sorry he is in Saginaw, Erie has no chance this year.

Erie is likely to be in that 4-6 range though. Erie has played Windsor well this year. I think the opinion would be different if Schaefer was playing the next few months. Spence Terrance Fimis Alfano are all real good players.

 

[OHLTG]

FWIW, Gaymes and Manzo both listed as healthy scratches.

The Niagara team is so good I'm surprised they have even lost a game! At least that is what the announcers are telling us.

 

[ohloutsider]

Newlove looks mechanically sound. Just got to get use to the speed of the game and the quality of the shots .

 

[BoogieB]

Impressed with Newloves rebound control. Absorbs the shot and does not give up the rebound. I think he deserves to be the backup if we don't land a tender.

Each team has a certain Homer's..

 

[OHLTG]

There's a confidence with him. You put him in a random OHL game, you'd never know he was a rookie.

 

[Teflon]

Manzo is from the Soo…. Gibson?? Maybe Nesbitt and Manzo for Gibby??

I'd be annoyed if they moved Nesbitt for Gibson. Nesbitt has to be for a stud that returns next season, and even that's stretching it.

Watched him in camp. This was my first ever camp. He seemed to be the best goalie out there. I was shocked when they sent him down. I can only imagine where he would be now with a half of a season behind him.

For u? Doubt it.

I don't blame them for sending him down. He was great but Froggett was right there with him and earned a chance to show what he can do.

Doesn’t make sense for Nesbitt to play this one if Manzo’s sitting/on the move.

Honestly, I hope there’s a bit more to the Mitch Young rumor. Yes, that same star power isn’t there, but it helps now with Defense depth/physicality while filling 1/2 open OA spots next season. Makes sense.

 

[ohloutsider]

Is Mathurin hurt again? Not seeing him playing.

 

[DetSpitsFan]

I love Greentree, but man, how many times has he been all alone and not been able to score on breakaways.

Flores is playing really well, too. He did similar stuff in Windsor.

 

[ohloutsider]

Morneau has missed the net 3 or 4 times tonight. Him and Spellacy need to get more practice shooting at the net. I would not be upset if Morneau went and Abraham stays.

 

[Teflon]

Eichler isnt doing himself any favors!!! Damn this team needs D help in a hurry!! Yea Tree has been brutal all alone. Numerous net misses across the board, other than Protus.

Agree. Manzo and Nesbitt only 07's on the roster beside Newlove. Manzo is replaceable not a huge deal, but that will leave a big hole if both 07s are moved unless more 07s are attained we have a poor 05 and 07 crop based on number's.

Morneau has missed the net 3 or 4 times tonight. Him and Spellacy need to get more practice shooting at the net. I would not be upset if Morneau went and Abraham stays.

Maybe botb are going.

 

[windsor7]

How many clear cut breakaway can Windsor have and not produce??

Spellacy with another missed net.

Maybe sat for other reasons..
