Kiss my you know what......Im not a troll there punk.....All I said is for him to say this is the greatest day of my life..is a little bit nauseating......and Im not hiding behind anything...im a north bay fan and proud of it,....dippy.....

and Battfan I am more than willing to discuss hockey anytime you want

 

[yanksrule*]

Battfan or stormfan..

As well if you truly loved the battalion there is no possible way when Guelph scored two goals in the last minute of game three like you jumped so high that your knees hit your stomach....??????? cause the guys that play on North Bay are guys you cheered some for four years....you would have handled it much differently....just saying... these boys left not because they wanted to but because they had to...big difference

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

OK guys..enough is enough. It's one thing to bust a guy's chops a bit..but relentlessly badgering a guy does nothing but cause animosity and gets you labelled nothing more than a troll. Consider this a sweeping comment and warning. I know Batfan personally and have even busted him with rib shots a bit(as a friend) but there comes a time when enough is enough. Drop it.

Phanatic I don't know if my following post will be deleted but I just want to add my 2 cents.

I don't know anybody personally involved but when you're a fan of a franchise that leaves as an individual you feel awful. I don't think it's necessarily easy to turn around and root for a rival whether it be Mississauga, Barrie or Niagara. I don't think Cleveland Browns fans who lost their franchise those fans started rooting for the Baltimore Ravens, in fact I know they didn't there was a lot of hatred and vitriol towards the Ravens and owner Art Modell.

There's no reason why BatFan or any other fan should feel an allegiance towards North Bay, they are still the "Battalion" but in name only and there's no reason why he should root for that team if he doesn't want to. The faux outrage because a former Battalion sth because he wanted to switch to Guelph is ridiculous.

Good post Rayzor.

Good post Rayzor.

I have already said I have no problem him cheering for Guelph, but it is the non-stop nauseating posts about it being the best day of his life is quite funny.

Ignore them then. No need to comment EVERY time he posts. He explained his reasoning..if that's not good enough..then it's not him that has the issue.

I said one time it was ONE OF the happiest moments of my life.
Again for somebody who isn't married or with kids and this being my biggest passion I think it was a fair statement.

I'll admit, I'm in the same boat! I was ecstatic when they won, just didn't get around to posting it. I've always enjoyed your post game posts and never even thought twice about who you cheered for last year (yes I was aware, but could care less).

Hah, I feel the same. First time one of the teams I cheer for has won a championship. It felt incredible.

 

[aresknights]

Enjoy, Storm fans. (all fans) It only happens every so often. (or never for some franchises)
Nothing wrong with lovin it.

Appreciate the posts 888!

My friend and I had seasons tickets in Mississauga from day one. We 'endured' the selling of that team and stuck with the Majors when they moved in. I had no problem changing allegiances and cheering against a team I'd supported for ten years...they were no longer my team. We both agreed though that if the team in Mississauga were to leave or be sold again, we would leave for Guelph. Once Melnyk sold the team and the name change to Steelheads was made, we dropped our seasons tickets and became Storm ticket holders. I wasn't prepared to support a team I could no longer identify with, so I chose a new team to support. It doesn't hurt that in two years in Guelph, I've seen something I never saw in 14 years as a Mississauga fan...an OHL Champion.

Again...I'm sorry to be late in this post, but I completely understand how '888 feels.

 

[battfan888]

So the Edmonton Oil Kings are on deck for the Storm this Saturday.
Personally I think Guelph matched up better against the smaller more offensive run and gun Winterhawks.
Edmonton is a big defence first team with good goaltending.
Not saying I don't have faith, I have all the faith in the world in the Storm but considering how the North Bay series went Edmonton could give them fits.

Regardless I'm happy the Storm are here, I've got a great seat Saturday, can't wait for it.

Now tonight we find out if Mondays opponent is Val d'or or Baie-Comeau.
Go triple OT!

 

[Knightnight]

I have 8 seats for Guelphs Monday game.
set of 2 another set of 2 and a set of 4
2 in section 104 row c seats 13 and 14
2 in 104 row l seats 13 and 14
the 4 are right near Londons bench

Pm if interested

Would you rather face all those returning players the Winter Hawks had back from last years team that were in the cup final. Not me.

Edmonton has 8 returnees from the 2012 Memorial Cup, seems like 6 half dozen of another if you ask me.

The Winter Hawks have 15 return player from last years team plus a few other players with experience from other teams they traded for. That is why I would not want to face them.

 

[Duke Guy]

Since Edmonton knocked off Portland wouldn't that make the Oil Kings a stronger team?

 

[battfan888]

It's about who Guelph matches up better against.
The Storm had a harder time with the shutdown defensive battalion than they did with the high flying run and gun Otters and Knights.

Val d'Or wins the QMJHL title tonight. They blew a 3-0 3rd period lead as Baie-Comeau tied it with 2:30 to go but Mantha pulls a Guelph Storm and scores the 4-3 winner with less than a minute left in the 3rd for the title.

Edmonton on Saturday
Val d'Or on Monday
London on Wednesday

Discuss.....

 

[Duke Guy]

Guelph 10 North Bay 1. I like the Storm in these defensive battles. LOL

Duke ,I was just stating that Winter Hawks had many more returning players then the Oil King had. And that would make them just a difficult to beat. Go Storm Go.
