The OHL Thread 2

[CharlieGirl]

Sorry to VCX this thread.

Anyone have any insight as to what Anthony DeAngelo did to get suspended twice in a season?

Racial slurs against a teammate was one. Not sure about the first one.

[J'accuse]

DeAngelo was fucked over by a shitty fucking teammate. He didn't even say anything remotely racist.

[Cao]

he probably called one of the russians a ruskie or a commie

[J'accuse]

Nope

That's the first I've heard that. I'm surprised the team suspended him then.

They didn't have a choice, Branch, the Sting, the league. They were all put in a shitty place by an absolutely awful family/player.

Wow, that sucks then.

What about his first suspension?

[J'accuse]

That one I don't know about. The eight game one though, it was BS.

The Ontario court judge who imposed a publication ban in the sex assault trial of Windsor Spitfire Ben Johnson is to decide Thursday whether the ban will continue.

Justice Micheline Rawlins imposed the ban Monday after the first witness in the trial began testifying. The witness, according to the Crown, was called to tender what’s referred to as similar fact evidence related to Johnson’s alleged conduct.

Johnson, 20, is charged with sexually assaulting a young woman on Jan. 13, 2013 at the Krooked Kilt, a bar on Wyandotte Street West.

Johnson was arrested in March 2013 after a second alleged sexual assault in the washroom of downtown bar Mynt...

Abuse of officials were the other two I believe.

[CharlieGirl]

So, Sarnia is fucking stupid.

The Sarnia Sting have taken forward Pavel Zacha (6'3, 203-pounds) with the first overall pick in the CHL Import draft.

Sarnia was advised that Pavel Zacha has a professional contract in Czech Republic for 2 more years and has no interest in playing for them.

So yes, Sarnia just wasted a first overall pick in the import draft. Morons.

[J'accuse]

$$$$$$$ they feel they have the resources to pull it off but LOL.

[CharlieGirl]

Meanwhile, Fiala is dropping like a rock. I'm wondering if teams know something about his eventual destination, or no one talked to him because he was supposed to go to Quebec.

Missy takes Leafs first rounder, Nylander. Not sure if he's going to report either. He's also AHL eligible, so the chances of playing for the Ice Dogs has to be slim.

David Pastrnak taken by the Belleville Bulls... he was a 1st round pick of the Bruins in the NHL draft & played at the WJC with Czech Rep (also AHL eligible).

[J'accuse]

Fiala probably doesn't come over, Nylander's agent is mad the Steelheads took him.

[J'accuse]

Love Oshawa's pick. Hope he comes over.

[CharlieGirl]

Love Oshawa's pick. Hope he comes over.

Kitchener's pick is already at the Aud, so I think we're pretty safe. Apparently Landeskog talked to the kid before the draft as well.

[J'accuse]

I saw that haha, good ol' Lando. Apparently Zacha might come over, they were trying to get Sarnia to trade him.

[Cao]

so who knows who kyle pettit is and has seen him play?

please confirm my thoughts that this 6th round pick was a total waste.

[CharlieGirl]

Does he play in Erie?

Pretty sure I've seen him play, but I couldn't tell you about his game whatsoever (which might be an indication...).

[Cao]

He is Erie's 4th line centre.

Yes, my team has scouts that are THAT stupid.

[J'accuse]

Ummmmm, about THAT. Zacha commits.

[CharlieGirl]

Ummmmm, about THAT. Zacha commits.

LOL - guilty. At least I'm not alone.

[J'accuse]

No his agent Walsh was being a real dick about it.

Omemee Ontario, home of legendary local journalist Scott Young and his good for nothing layabout son Neil.

I know that many teams do this but I thought that it would be nice to share this and appreciate the things these kids do off the ice: http://www.mykawartha.com/sports-story/5210663-peterborough-petes-deliver-messages-of-encouragement-for-students-in-omemee/

That stuff happens a lot but we don't hear it. It's nice to see something positive about junior hockey players for a change. Thanks!

Charlie, was thinking about you last night as I listened to the latest Junior podcast. Have you heard it? It's relatively new. I really like it. It's a weekly podcast by Jeff Marek and Sam Cosentino talking for an hour or so exclusively about the CHL. Good interviews, stories, analysis, rumours, draft talk, Mem Cup etc.

Last episode (Dec 17) was especially good with interviews with Roger Shannon, Moncton Wildcats (Dir Hockey Ops), Paul McFarland, Kingston (Head Coach), and Gare Joyce, Sportsnet Writer, on his 5,500 Kilometre road trip with the Thunderbirds from Seattle up to Saskatoon and throughout.

Production level is a little hokey but I highly recommend it for you. 5/5

One of the elementary schools in Omemee is named after Scott Young. Neil performed there during my buddy's graduation ceremony but not for mine.

Loser

Thinking about CG

[chicpea]

Thinking about CG

I am glad at least someone can read between the lines here.

We are on the same wavelength, mcpee. Always have been.

[mcphee]

In all fairness don't we all mcpeas

I can only speak for myself and who knows for how long ?

[mcphee]

Choose life friend..pee sitting down.

I do. Easier to read. Takes longer than it used to, but enough of my urinary woes

[CharlieGirl]

Wow, don't check a thread in a few days and you find out things you may not have wanted to know! LOL

Lots of silly trades going on - not so much the trades, but the returns. I really hope Hiebert gets in on it (he got a ton in return for Pederson) - Bailey would bring a king's ransom and I suspect Iafrate would as well.

[J'accuse]

The Pederson and McCarron trades will set Oshawa back like five years. At least. But, they may win the title this year.

[CharlieGirl]

Bailey to the Soo... waiting to hear what's coming back.

Oozes skill... if anyone can get him to play with fire 100% of the time, it's Keefe. Watch out league... Bailey should become a beast.

[J'accuse]

Probably many 2nd and 3rd round picks.

[CharlieGirl]

Probably many 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Rangers acquire Miller, PLY 3rd '15, SSM 2nd '16, 2nd '18, cond 3rd '18 for Bailey

I'll take it! Next up... Iafrate is my bet.

[J'accuse]

I'm surprised Oshawa gave up such a huge package for McCarron and Mermis. What they gave up should have been reserved for Domi. That's why Twohey left. He didn't want to make future sacrificing moves like that, Rocco Tullio did.

[J'accuse]

Ritchie and Boland are off to the Soo.

[J'accuse]

And now DeAngelo on his way to the Soo too. They've acquired Bailey, Ritchie and DeAngelo to join up with Nurse, Tolchinsky and McCann. Interesting moves by the Greyhounds. They're really going for it.

[CharlieGirl]

Lots of movement today, with a few headscratchers thrown in there.

I'm not sure I understand Paterson to Kitchener, but Kitchener's goaltending has been a major weak spot since Gibson, and perhaps Paterson mentoring Carty will help in the long run. Not sure what happens to Greenfield though. I fully expected Iafrate to be gone from Kitchener. Since he's staying, I want Troy Smith to start using him the way he should be -- he's one of Kitchener's best (and snarliest) defensemen and should be getting first unit PP time.

Still a few more deals in the works, from what I understand.

[CharlieGirl]

So... Flint is really a thing now.

The team name will be up to fan voting... c'mon folks, give us the Flint Stones!

[VLoo]

Like... Flint, Michigan? Isn't that place poor and dilapidated? How are they gonna support a team?

[CharlieGirl]

Like... Flint, Michigan? Isn't that place poor and dilapidated? How are they gonna support a team?

Yeah, that Flint. That crime ridden place where you wouldn't send your 16 year old under any circumstances. That Flint.

And I have no idea...

[TGR]

It's all up to Tim Thomas and Michael Moore.
