Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

[Travis Bickle 77]

Always great to beat the dirtiest team in the league...The London Knights!! Beauty shorthand goal from Spellacy!!

Awesome F'ing Win

 

[LDN]

Must feel so great

 

[Teflon]

Great to get that win!! Just shows how important it is to play 60 minutes!
Do the knights just have to be the dirtiest in the league? Just a lack of class!! I could list the issues but why bother. Makes this old timer want to lace them up and wreak some havoc on that team of cowards!!

Just a question....where does the booing for Cowan come from?

Just a question....where does the booing for Cowan come from?

From what I heard, the initial booing was for Team Canada.

He’s a good player.

Didn’t think Joey looked that bad but third one was soft. Felt the goalie change fired em’ up.

Spellacy’s great, but if that puck doesn’t go over the glass.. we have a different tone, but maybe a less exciting game. What a game winner.

One of the most exciting games I’ve been to this season. I’d rather see this Spits team down by 3 then up by 3, but truly didn’t expect the comeback vs London.

Keeps the dream of 1st place alive, and Frogget’s shaping up pretty well. Lots of special teams tonight. Both teams with 2 PP goals, and the Morneau goal was basically one, then the Shorty.

One of those games that gets you excited for the next. Elliot’s first loss in the OHL, now 20-1. Good to be that 1, but also an impressive stretch on his end.

London’s got a quicker turn around with Kitchener Wednesday.

Rivalry game, and being “The” supposed guy for a failing team Canada WJ team… he got the hot crowd against him.

Undeserved IMO, and better reserved for those dirty players that make the nasty infractions, but hey, if the crowd can frustrate a team, I’m all for it.

If admission is being paid, you got the right to cheer, boo, cry or celebrate.

What a win, these Spits are dawgs out there. Down 3-0 and no quit. That 3rd period was great. Really dominated that 3rd and Elliot made a ton of beauty saves to keep it 4-3.

I thought Kennedy was outstanding tonight, really the entire defense was, held them to 1 even strength goal and only 6 shots in the 3rd. Not an easy thing to do against that dominant squad. Also it seems Walters knows when to push his guys and when to stay quiet on the bench. He was calm at times and rattled at others. He seems to be an intense coach, hehe.

I was surprised to hear the crowd booing Cowan every time he touched the puck. By the 3rd period when the crowd was really into the game, the boos got louder and Cowan had some giveaways. I think it got to him. I'm a Leafs fan, so I like Cowan. He is not the same this season though. Barkey is shifty as heck.

Morneau and Protas were solid as usual and really thought Nesbitt had one of his better games, he thrives in these types of games. Good to see Spellacy make up for his blunder with that beauty winner.

One thing that sort of sucks the rest of the regular season, they have secured the #2 seed and a slim chance they can place 1st. Games are important but when you already know where you are finishing in the standings, it sort of takes some excitement away.

I didn’t realize it was such a drought vs London, but makes sense with last year.

First time we beat the knights since March 23’ when we clinched First in the Conference on the road.

First W vs London while Greentree’s had the C

Technically, we beat them recently at home, unless you meant to add a caveat that London couldn't be down five guys due to the World Juniors in order for it to count.
