I've been watching it closely, both for my fascination towards the bridge (I look at the cams multiple times a week) and this situation lol

You sound like me with the US lock cam. I can sit and watch boats go through all day, especially the cruise ships.

I can spend hours a week watching Earth Cams. It's so fascinating seeing what's happening around the world in (relatively) real time. Then I get into "where specifically is this cam located?"... and it becomes a game LOL it's the geography part of me.
 
Right now they’re looking at about 10 hours through Canada instead of the 5-6 through the US.

If they didn’t want to have to travel down to Windsor on Friday, Spits shouldn’t have lost and the Soo shouldn’t have won Monday night.

They got a full day off for travel… they might be using it.

Because it’s the O, I could see something weird like Game 5 in the Soo, Games 6/7 in Windsor if it’s agreed to by both clubs.

Soo may have a tough time selling tickets on 24 hours notice and if the Game tonight favors Soo, and I’m Windsor, I’m saying no to that proposal.

Just speculation. But both teams would take the 10 hour bus route, neither would have an advantage. With everything I’ve seen and heard from some friends in northern MI, doesn’t seem the best route to go, regardless of the Mackinaw Bridge
 
Heart wrenching loss in OT. Thought the spits played an overall solid game all things considered with injuries. Costanzo was solid and can't blame him for that loss. Top line was still playing good but just not enough depth to get the job done Monday.

I wish there was a little bit more transparency with injuries but not like the old days. Any ideas of the severity of these most recent injuries?, A couple guys out is manageable for the first series or two but now there is alot of guys we need in this line up . Only so much these young guys can do getting thrown into the fire.

As for tonight, I hope that loss was a kick in the ass this team needs to come out angry and on a mission like they did in games 1/2 and hopefully get that 3rd win and head home up 2 games and not with this series tied.

Go Spits Go!!

Just travel 5 hrs after the game stay overnight and finish the trip tomorrow. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Another question to ponder. The police havent been notified or included in this. Purely a civil suit. No ones shared the lawsuit with those that can inflict penalties resulting in jail time. That is very odd to me.
To answer your question. As per the Star, the police were contacted by the complainant recently and the police decided not to pursue any further investigation. The same London lawyer representing the WJC case complaintent who received undisclosed settlement is representing the complainant in this suit. Humm. Seems odd no local civil lawyers available to file such a suit? Not saying an assault did not occur, but I am skeptical of new allegations that occurred that long ago. Alleging you were drugged and proving it 41 years later is crucial. Saying you didn't drink much at 19 at a party I find laughable. I remember when I was 19 and my girlfriend was 19. More like who passed out first to be honest. We all saw the Probert documentary story how he was underaged sleeping with his billet? Isn't that statutory rape? Again not pointing fingers towards the victim or the players or the liklihood probably happened. Why is it about $$ and not putting assailants in jail for a crime they may have committed. Times have changed and so are the expectations to proper behavior with the me too movement. Definitely overdue. I do feel bad for the rest of that years roster with having to cope with being suspected and had no part of it. That's unfair as well.
 
Light Lineup again tonight.....boys really need to tighten it up !!

No Christo, No Spellacy, No Mertherian, No Belchez.

Let's get the W and get home boys !
Incredibly Soft. It's playoffs. Play thru injuries. Whatever aj and christo have going on had better be serious. I don't want to hear the rest up for the next round bit either because we all saw what kitchener did to us 2 years ago there might not be a next round.

Exactly, Two years ago that was a disaster. Hopefully Walters isnt giving his buddy the head coach on the Soo a gimme.
 
SOO are catching a major break here with these injuries. It said Spellacy and Cristoforo were 50/50 on playing tonight and I guess they are not quite good to go. Doesn't sound serious considering both played the entirety of game two. Cristoforo was shaken up on a dirty hit but he stayed in the game.

If they don't have them back for game 5, they could be in a bad spot. Stayed healthy all season and just before playoffs, several key players, including #1 and #2 defensemen, sustained injuries.

What dirty hit?
44 can't handle any hits by opposing players.
 
I believe I heard Beller say Cristoforo was going to be out for a week? ie. He'll be back later in the series? IF it's his head, hopefully it's nothing serious. That's not something you want to mess with.
 
Morneau and Garden are the only forwards right now playing with any type of energy, which is concerning. I know Costello, Stewart and Brockelhurst aren’t likely to win us the game, but we gotta get them a couple shifts just to give Greentree and Protas time to recover.
 
Windsor was all over the Soo in 1st period.
Goalie saved them from Windsor having a big lead.
