Hiltz, Kowalski and Kazymyra are 99 birthdates as are Young and Cruise Pyne is a 2000 Brown (good leader), Olson, Velazquez are 98s That’s an enviable crew moving forward, especially considering the offensive contributions of the “99 line”

I've wondered all year why they haven't had Levesque here. Gone through phair, Weersink, McLennan, chan, and mccloskey but never brought levesque up. This is a team that brought phair in as backup when he was 16 and was eligible to play another year of midget. He could be a starter next year so why not get him ready for this level. It certainly didn't hurt Phair to lose that extra year.

Let's see if the Wings can rebound from the 2 losses to the Bruins two weeks ago and come out with a much better effort. I think they need a to split the home and home to stay in the conversation for the division,fan buses going both ways this weekend as well, nice to see this rivalry getting spiced back up!

I think if the wings can get a solid showing between the pipes this weekend they should be ok... that was the weak point last time them two meet IMO.

3rd straight game they haven’t shown up vs the Bruins. These games haven’t been competitive .

They still haven't figured out they need to finish their checks and get in their heads and throw them off their game

They can hit everyone in sight , but if your goaltender is going to give up 5 goals / game , it really doesn't matter. I think the focus may be on pushing for that #5 seed , as likely a #6 seed gets you a 1st round matchup with the Bruins. While that would definitely be buzz worthy , from what i've seen , it would also be over quick. Highly disappointing for the Wings once again with a chance to make some noise.

The only positive to a weyburn vs estevan first round is that both teams make good money as low travel and you would think you should get lots of fans out. Best case is weyburn can possibly get 2 wins before they are out coached once again like they have been so many times this season already.

Pretty sure the Wings will find themselves in a Best of 5 after their performance this weekend. Thursday night notwithstanding, the goaltending isn't good enough. Considering the number of possible returnees , that has to be the #1 focus of the offseason , as there is potential for the Wings to be very dangerous in 18/19. I just can't make a case for them making any noise in this year's postseason.

I just can't make a case for them making any noise in this year's postseason. [b Man weersink was really good in nb! This is what flyswatter said makes a good goalie in another thread and I think he is spot-on! A few characteristics I look for: 1) Focus - holds off the initial push by opponent; doesn’t get scored on right after his team scores or right after an opponent goal; capable of long periods of shutout hockey; can steal games; no weak goals; his team always has a chance because he rarely gives up more than 3 and never gives up more than 4 2) Lazy - rebounds below the goal line or not at all; catches everything, absorbs the rest; second saves are not needed 3) Skating - great edges in the crease, great footwork outside the crease 4) Calm leader - you know he hates being scored on but he will never show his team up when he is 5) Smart - recognizes and understands opponents’ systems and anticipates plays 6) Positioning - knows where his net is and can keep the angles covered when moving laterally; pucks never hit the middle post If you've spent any time watching Weersink, you will know that he doesn't fit many of these characteristics. Often gives up early goals, many of them right after Weyburn scores. Lots of weak goals, many of them scored in the middle of the net. He gives off rebounds like crazy with many of them coming off his glove. I've lost count of how many games he's given up 5 goals. Battlefords was an exceptional game for him but that is not the normal. The next night he gave up a 5 ball. He's not consistent. Weyburn needs better tending to go the distance.

Is interesting though, teams giving up a possibility of 3 gates in favour of a Best of 3 , if indeed that's the case.

I would like to see them get away from survivor series and just take the top 8. Seems like a waste of money for the bottom 4 just for a best of 3

I have no problem with keeping 10 in the playoffs. I'm told a home playoff game is worth 20,000 to the Red Wings bottom line when is all is said and done , and that's with a good crowd , not a great crowd. I know it's different for every team, but if that is a starting point, i'd rather see the teams try and make a few bucks. That's why a Best of 3 shocks me a little.

10 in play offs would make everone a little bit of money but for some reason the sjhl thinks that you make more money playing less games!i am an old man could someone explain that to me ?

Quite the classless display by McCloskey last night. On the Bruins second goal, he makes the save but slides into the back of the net. Though my eyes didn't actually see the puck in the net, it was virtually impossible for the puck to not be in the net. Goal light comes on, the refs discuss for a couple minutes and determine the goal to count. McCloskey then turns around and is pointing and screaming at the goal judge. Then in the following minutes, any time he makes a save and gets a whistle, he turns around and yells at the goal judge again as if to mock her. Hopefully this young man matures, and when he does I'm hoping he can look back on some of these actions and realize just how childish they were.

While it wasn't likely a "classy" move to mock the GJudge the Wings have had zero breaks both on questionable goals and success against the Bruins He probably will look back on it and learn that those are character check moments. But he's also 19 and facing a bunch of pressure individually and team wise I'll take those mistakes in front of about a million more a player could make Saying all that , hopefully the Wings can get healthy enough for Friday to claw out a win No Hiltz, Woodliffe, E Olsen, Young has really hurt the top end and put even more pressure on the young guys to produce Had their chances last night !!! Not sure how the Bruins goalies keep coming up with these performances against the Wings?!

I think I was 3 the last time I saw a ref let a goal judge make a decision. They are 99% tradition. But to all who do actually sit there by themselves when their friends and family are partying without them... thank you.

In Melfort back in the fall Weyburn scored and the goal was waved off by the referee. While Red Wings celebrated Melfort went down the ice and scored. Officials conferred with goal judge and counted Weyburn’s goal and disallowed Melfort’s. Huge turning point as Mustangs had absolutely dominated until then but went in the tank for the rest of the game and ended up losing something like 7-1.

Another good point but when u review the video that one was definitely in and bounced out. Also it was in Melfort and when a GJudge says a visitors goal was in ...it likely was I understand this one was more a question of where the puck was in McCloskeys equipment when he slid into the net? Not sure how a GJudge sees that from behind the net but I wasn’t there either and couldn’t find any video Sooooo I guess we defer to the Officials discretion It worked how it’s supposed to ...unless yur a Red Wing!

Really the only beef the Red Wings could have with the call here is whether or not the play should have been blown dead because the referee lost sight of the puck before the goalie ended up in the net.

Sure. The rules do state the play is to be whistled dead if the officials lose sight of the puck. 1. How many whistles do you want in a game. Every time the puck gets caught in a skaters jersey for.01 seconds and when it goes high in the air and they lose sight? Your answer is NO. But I'm just guessing. 2. There are 4 officials. Do they need to verify if all or none lost sight on any said play? Again you say NO. But I'm still guessing. It is a rule to be used with logic.
