With all the goal tender issues since smitty left, you gotta wonder how Colton Point gets drafted to Erie and the Troops don't draft him ?
Played midget right in their back yard @ West Ferris , a good 6 min drive from Master Butlers office. Not saying he ever would have reported , but at least take a damn flyer on him from round 10 to 15 . Just another head scratcher from the scouting staff ( or lack) of it.
Hockey Canada thinks he is top 4 in all of the Country. Impressive !!

I have no issues with boring hockey if we ultimately end up with the W. We don't have the horses to play the run and gun game against that Steelheads roster. I'm amazed they're on a seven game losing streak with the talent they have.Without a doubt, for 2 periods, the most B-O-R-I-N-G, midget calibre hockey game I've seen in 5 years!!! 1 shot on goal every 4-5 minutes. I was heading for the exit after 2 but settled for a bag of popcorn.
WrongFor some unknown reason, I feel NB ends the SSM streak tonight.
Yes they played a good road game against a good home team Sime played awesome for a little guy he played really big they almost tied it up in the 3rd until the empty netterWrong but a decent effort. They don't have the horses to match the Soo but the game wasn't totally out of reach.
Always amazes me how the teams in the West division never really have a rebuilding year. They are competitive year after year after year. While the East struggles year after year after year.
Frustrating nonetheless. IMO it's your job as a GM to coax these guys to do what's best for both them and the team. If Amadio was traded, he was going to a Memorial Cup contender. These deadline deals are intended to be beneficial for the player's development prior to going professional.Coach Butler is often berated for not making the trades that some fans think he should be making but as he explained on his Cogeco show last night, players can have a no-trade clause in their contract with the team. As an example he said that in the past he received frequent offers for both Jake Smith and Mike Amadio but that both players exercised their right to refuse a trade, saying they preferred to stay here. So, while he takes criticism for not moving someone like Cam Dineen, it could be that Cam just doesn’t want to go.
No No I’m from in town just a shame for our fan base to have bad apples like this, could only imagine what a visitor would think...as soon as I hear a loudmouth...I move....not worth the aggravation...I suspect you are a visitor just following the team on a short road trip/afternoon, holiday game...there are normal fans but I have heard near the bench there are some idiots....score would not put you in good humour either...
Great game by the troops, shame I had gotten stuck infront of some piss poor fans who felt the need to consistently curse at the steelheads, my little brother did not need to hear Owen Tippet being called a “*****”. It’s shame that people treat kids playing for their dreams like this.
