Haven’t won games and this weekend they dealt with the blowout but for the most part I have to credit their ability to stay in games.Disagree. The arena isn't that bad for a town of 18000 people. Great fans there that back there team. Money doesn't grow on trees in small communities.
Watching Erie play in Kitchener I was impressed with their team. Not that easy to play against. It won't take them long to get back into contention.
They don’t have the high talent and they young so it’s far too difficult to get key saves or key goals when needed. But the effort has been there.
I don’t think it will take too long either. This entire team is back next year with the exception of Fellows/Headrick who I don’t think they will really miss.
Golod/Fowler have clear top line talent. Poddubyni/Gritz have have 2-3rd line ability. Sproule needs to get stronger so the jury is out on him. And we know now that they are getting anywhere from 1-4th overall pick. Add in a top 12 Import pick and you have 7 forwards that can ALL be on the roster for the next 2 years if you don’t trade them away. And they all have or at least should have top 9 talent. The question is who becomes the star talent? That’s where Golod/Fowler/and 2018 OHL and Import draft will be huge. And the big question of Kyle Schroeder who hasn’t committed to any college yet and would immediately slot into the top 9 with top 6 potential. A big offseason of drafting/developing/signing. HUGE. If the guys develop and we sign the guys in our system.. this team will be up towards the top again in 2/3 years
