Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just signed his first pro contract....he probably was trying to win the game all by himself....he is only 18 so growing pains will be happening for a few more years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since 82 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Everyone has an off day in the office sometimes. He seems like a high character guy, and I'm sure he'll file this one where it belongs and cone back strong next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Dipietro TSN interview video link I can appreciate how much he wants to play for Canada, but I think he placing a lot of pressure on himself. Not to mention how the media tends to hype up that particular position, must be extra taxing on the mind and emotions of a young kid. Hope he can just relax, enjoy himself, and play solid like we all saw from him this past year. IMO he is the better goalie of the 4, pedigree wise and experience in general.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just based on his character and aura about him that he carries, makes him a leader already on that team. Hunch is that not only are they leaning on him to stop pucks, but to be a culture carrier of winning, and competitiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time DiPi makes the jump to the NHL, Demko will be in his prime and will be a great mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 What is this sorcery? If true, perhaps to keep Demko in Utica to start the year, in the event they move Nilsson? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think that would be a terrible mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the internet, anyone with an internet connection can "write". The overall quality of reporting is in the toilet imo, including sports news. That is the only thing that the racist, sexist, moronic, blue haired, ignorant buffoon trump is correct about. By the way...has he died yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2018 From OHLProspects (Brock Otten): http://ohlprospects.blogspot.com/2018/08/31-teams-in-31-days-vancouver-canucks.html?m=1 1. Michael Dipietro - Windsor SpitfiresAnyone who reads this blog knows how big of a fan of Dipietro I am. He's one of the most competitive netminders that I've ever seen come through the OHL. He never gives up on a play, is always talking to his defenders, and just flat out hates to lose. He's a gamer. Mentally, his focus is terrific too. If he gives up a bad goal, he always seems to straighten himself out and shut the door. Very rarely do you see the wheels come off for him. His confident level in his abilities is evident. Given the state of Windsor's blueline this year, and the young team in front of him, Dipietro was sensational this season and that's why he was named the OHL goaltender of the year. His athleticism is off the charts good. And given his lack of elite size at a position that demands it now, it needs to be. Makes a lot of highlight reel saves moving post to post, but also has a good glove hand and does a good job of controlling rebounds and limiting second chances for an unconventional goaltender. The next step for him will be refining his movements so that his positioning is better. Can get beaten high, especially in close when he goes down too early. As he moves through the levels, players will look to exploit that lack of size and he'll have to find ways to make himself bigger in the crease, rather than just relying on his athleticism and anticipation. Next year, Dipietro will return to Windsor and he will have a good chance of repeating as OHL goaltender of the year. Whether he finishes the year in Windsor will depend on how well the team starts the year. If they find themselves in the middle, they may look to deal him to get assets back. I would also expect him to be Canada's starter at the World Juniors. With another solid year under his belt, he has to be considered one of the top goaltending prospects on the planet. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
