Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
Osborne is good at developing defencemen. MacDuff, Allan, Thivierge and Ferris to name a few.It's his defense first team.
D man Adam Barron look good in last years playoffs. Hope he's back this year.
Welland always puts together a very competitive team at the start of the season.
But it's during the season they don't keep up with the other top teams.
The other teams are bringing in guys to improve there teams.
But Welland rarely makes moves. Same thing at trade deadline.
I think of all the miss opportunity's this team has had over the years.
How much better if they would have added a scorer or two a d man to help the PP.
It's got to be frustrating for there fans.

Welland's Owner is Cheap. He was Cheap when he was in Thorold and he has done nothing in Welland but run the franchise into the ground. He should have got out of the game a long time ago.

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
He's far from being one of the worst owners in the league. Cheap, really? A lot of team's have cheap ownership in this league.Canuckalhead wrote:Welland's Owner is Cheap.

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
You guys say that the owners are "cheap" but you guys don't understand the behind the scenes of how much money they spend on the players they get every year. School/gas/equipment/transportation/billets. You can only spend so much money when your not making any money from it. Not to mention a lacrosse team that has expenses in the hockey off season to (in Welland atleast). You guys just see oh there not competitive they must not be buying good players well how is that the owners fault? Sounds like a scouting problem to me the owner normally doesnt know how good players are they listen to scouts.

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
First of all, I defended him. Second, every team deals with the expenses you mentioned, so that's just a cop-out. He is in fact very careful with his money, but calling him cheap is kind of insulting, as he's done more for his team than several other owners ever have for theirs.GOJHLfan1 wrote:You guys say that the owners are "cheap" but you guys don't understand the behind the scenes of how much money they spend on the players they get every year.

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
Was not really towards you it was just in general. I mean your right that the other teams do as well but theres a few that have more resources then the others as well. This is not the NHL the owners are not millionaires.Port hockey1 wrote:First of all, I defended him. Second, every team deals with the expenses you mentioned, so that's just a cop-out.

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
Has Welland won a Championship with Louie as the Owner?? Did Thorold win a Championship with Louie as the Owner??? The fact is he has put himself as the GM of the hockey club. It's up to the GM to bring in players along with his coaching and scouting staff. What does Louis Savona know about the game of hockey?? His Lacrosse teams are also a joke. He is cheap and always has been and that's not up for discussion, that's a fact!

Re: Welland loses top defensemen from last year
No they havent but they have had there chances. Were 1 fluke goal by Jimmy Sheehan off the back boards away from the Sutherland Cup 3 years ago.Canuckalhead wrote:Has Welland won a Championship with Louie as the Owner??
