Butler looks like h e wants out judging from Friday game
Too bad (again) about attendance which (except for an occasional blip, i.e.: Military game) seems locked in to the 2200 announced, 1700 or so in the building. Despite a sad record, there have been a number of recent home games where the entertainment value has been high (shutout win vs. Win., 1 goal losses SSM and Nia., last night vs. Kit.). Beyond the obvious, a winning team, I wonder if there is any way to bring back 500-1000 who used to attend regularly.
Troops out shot 38-23 , and if you ever have watched the shot clock @ the Gardens , you would know that the clock really favors the Troops , its almost comical , and not very accurate at all, it would seem that Butler himself has the control in his pocket.
Here's the point....how the hell does Sime get over looked as a STAR last night ? he probably had close 50 shots.
No chance he's available. Local kid, undrafted and producing at an insane rate at 19. That's our captain next year.Would take Brazeau in a heart beat in KW. who do you want in return?
The Battalion don't have the horses to go on a run this season. Dineen's a great kid, but these are the guys you move to build your future roster around. Last year the Generals moved Mitch Vande Sompel to the Knights and they grabbed Ian Blacker, one of London's top prospects--two 2nds, one that brought them Nick Wong--and two 3rds. I'd be expecting that kind of return. You trade him regardless of whether we're a playoff team or not.I'm certainly no hockey expert but there's no chance in hell that I would trade Dineen. He's as good a playmaking d-man at this level as I've ever watched and the d-unit would be so much weaker without him. On a team that struggles for points like the Battalion does, the offer for a fan favourite like him would have to be outstanding. Of course, I wouldn't have traded away Liberati either and last year's team sure could have used him.
Look who is on the point for powerplays. Hard to great scoring chances when weak links handle pucks like grenades. A forward on the point should be tried for powerplays.Butler said yesterday was the worst game they played all season
It's been 4 1/2 long seasons without a power play. What gives ? Obviously they don't work on special teams.
P.S. Barrie wasn't much better
With Butler as GM not a chance, he still thinks he can win this year. Further we have enough players like Grondin , big, no skill & slow.Do you think NB Would ever take Grondin plus some picks for Brazeau from Saginaw?
Bruce should've been traded two years ago when I said so.Butler's only chance to recoup anything major with this bunch would be Dineen. I don't think Mckenzie will bring in anything substantial especially the way he's been playing. Bruce is another one that could be moved but who would want him and what would the return be.
I agree. I was never a fan. Only his size got him drafted. Even the Hatcher brothers made the NHL. I highly doubt he ever will.Bruce should've been traded two years ago when I said so.
