The Greyhounds win 7-3 over the 67s. OHL game summary here.
Ottawa line up:
1st Bickell, Petruzalek, Kaspar
2nd Todd, Talbot, Hulit
3rd Akeson, Bonello, Mancari
4th Ouellette, McIlvene, Lahey
Defence pairings:
Colbert, Joslin
Wharton, Beard
Aitcheson, Van Herpt
Staring goalie Guadagnolo. Healthy scratches were Alphonso, McGinn, Wharton, and Reid still out with the injury.
General impressions:
This was a very bad game for the 67s – the worst I’ve seen this year. They had no jump, no energy, no second effort, turned over the puck constantly, allowed odd-man rushes, had no defence in their own end, could barely get the puck out of their own zone at times, etc., etc. They were 0/7 for the PP. Granted this was the 67s’ 3rd game of the w/e, but the Soo have also been on a multiple game road trip (this was their 4th game in 5 days). A terrible showing by the 67s. The only players that stood out were Guadagnolo, Talbot, Hulit, and Todd.
Impressions of the 67s:
Guadagnolo – I don’t understand why the team cannot play when he is in net. What is up with that? The defence were terrible in front of him today. They’re more of a liability on the ice, as they block his view of the shooting lanes. Do they expect him to score the bloody goals as well? C’mon guys.

Talbot, Hulit, and Todd continue to work hard. Definitely the hardest, best working line for the 67s. Talbot had a hard hip check at the end of the game, so hopefully nothing serious will result from that.
Impressions of the Greyhounds:
What a fast skating team. It was so nice to see a team that could skate, and puck handle, and pass! Players that stood out to me were Pitton, Kennedy, Desjardins, Jarrett, Tuma, and Staubitz. I mean, the whole team looked good next to Ottawa, but these guys I noticed for their quickness, their forechecking, their puck handling, scoring, their ‘bigness’ (Tuma), their PK work, etc. Good on them. They deserved to win. They looked like they were playing against their little brothers, the 67s.
Soo line up:
1st Pitton, Kennedy, King
2nd Thomas, McInerney, Lawrence
3rd VanderVeeken, Desjardins, Jarrett
4th MacLean, Puntureri, Leszczynski
Defence pairings:
Tuma, Smith
Staubitz, Jarram
Cuthbert, Good
Staring goalie Cech. Scratches were Day, McKinley, Lalonde, and Carter who is at the Canadian World Junior selection camp. (Can’t imagine how much worse the score would be if Carter were in the line up . . .)

Parking – lots of it.
Ref – Carroll. Had some bad moments – for both teams. Like against Ottawa with Bickell’s ‘boarding’ which wasn’t, and against the Soo with Kennedy’s non-goal which clearly was a goal (Carroll did reverse the call, and rightly awarded the goal.) Otherwise, typical.
