2016-17 WHL Regular Season

[Royal Canuck]

Royals won a tight one against Kamloops tonight, Outhouse stood on his head.

Matthew Phillips was phenomenal once again.

Really wish the Canucks took a flyer on him.

Giants lose again, 4-2 to Seattle. Given how Ron Toigo operates, it really wouldn't surprise if Jason McKee is fired before Halloween.

I know it is early, and they are doing well, but I think having a coach that demands respect as soon as he walks in the room is a lot better than a nobody like Hollick who walked around like he owned the place.

5-0 baby.

Did you listen to the post game show? Morrison was on it and said it was nice to not get screamed at after every penalty. Post sounded like he stopped caring about Hollick.

Yep, I head that too. Players were on Pins and Needles last year. This year Matvichuk has instilled confidence, and he commands respect. 14 years in the NHL, Stanley Cup Winner. He was the best choice this team could have made.

Yes I heard that as well. Hollick holded grudges. You could see him behind the bench and dictate what kind of coach he really was.

Hollick lost the team after Xmas.

That's what I said too. He demands respect when he walks in that room. He won two championships with the Allen Americans and he's coached in the ECHL as well, so he has a lot of experience in how to win.

Damn, didn't think there we so many people from PG on here, good to see.

But I agree, the Cats look like a brand new team - and we don't even have Gabrielle and Harkins back yet, which will be a massive boost to the offensive group, and especially the PP even though it has looked great.

5-0 baby.

Harkins re-assigned today by the Jets.

Harkins re-assigned today by the Jets.

Yup, saw that on Twitter. He will be a nice boost.

 

[Deif]

Brandon beats Red Deer 5-2. Mattheos and Patrick are going to have a huge year together.

They both have 6 points (2+4) in 2.5 games so far.

 

[PG Canuck]

The beat keeps going on for PG. They have winless Vancouver coming to town, so they need to not take them lightly. They could be 8-0 by the time next weekend is over.

4-0 was already the best start in franchise history.

 

[dechire]

Despite the 5-2 final score the Chiefs were pretty badly outplayed for big chunks of the home opener. I'm still pretty concerned about the team's defense(they get trapped in the zone a lot ) but they did dig in for almost 2 full minutes of 5 on 3 to protect the lead so I guess there's some hope I really like what I saw from Ty Smith especially knowing that he has a lot of room to improve still. You guys will definitely want to keep an eye out for him whenever you see the Chiefs.

When do the CHL weekly rankings get released?

Edit: They're up now, and PG is first. http://chl.ca/article/chl-announces-top-10-rankings-oct-516

Count me as surprised. Even at 6-0 didn't think the CHL would put little ol' PG at #1.

 

[Rocko604]

Never understood the whole point of the CHL rankings.

 

[PG Canuck]

Make it 7-0

The first five minutes were stressful, then it got fun.

I think it shows the mentality of the team is in the right place. Didn't get rattled, kept on playing their game.

 

[PG Canuck]

The skill of this team is through the roof. Khomenko was a brilliant pickup and one of my favourite Cougars already.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

7-0! Wish I could make it to a game this weekend. Worked late last night then having early thanksgiving tonight. Oh well. Go cats go!

Come out Tuesday or Wednesday, against Everett. They're 5-1-1. Should be good games.

 

[PG Canuck]

Make it 8

Me think their first loss is coming this week. Everett looks good, and historically the back to backs have been difficult. The depth is really showing on this team, it's quite impressive.

Gabrielle is really showing his scoring touch, wouldn't be surprised if he gets 50.

Yeah Everett plays that boring, trap it down system (at least in past years) so I could see them squeaking a win.

Would be great to hit 10-0, which would tie the longest winning streak in franchise history n

 

[Deif]

Reid Duke returns to Brandon, which leaves them with 4 overagers. Papirny, Duke, Coulter and Campbell. Campbell likely on his way out.

 

[PG Canuck]

Everett ends the streak. Not surprised it was them who did it either.

They were the better team, plain and simple. Boy, do they ever hound you when you have the puck.
