Peterborough Petes 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 3)

Simpson pulled score is
6-1

 

[Section7fan]

Just sad. Not much else to say.

Hopefully they come out with some passion on Sunday.

 

[Newbie Observer]

Can't be in a hole in the 1st.. First couple of goals were not strong. The backhand and the top shot from above circle, has to have those in a tight playoff game. Even the shot off the draw.

They will. Heart and passion will be there. Not going down without a fight. So close to the finals, they will be ready. Have to be

Actually seeing some push back right now -

Petes are not done in this series. 7 games in a series for a reason

 

[Newbie Observer]

Tough with two regulars out. Now third guy. Have to only win once in NB. If its 7th game so be it.

Suspension for Gauvreau?

 

[Section5Petes]

Suspension for Gauvreau?

If I was a betting man, I would unfortunately have to say yes

 

[2023]

Gauvreau 5 minutes and the game
Further suspension no doubt

Best result for the kid

Kick rocks

What’s all this about Maccallum slew footing Bloom at the buzzer ?

I never saw that -did any of you ?

In the NB thread they are saying Lockhart was mouthing off to the bench all game etc
I never saw either -

After the buzzer at the end of the 3rd, bats blueline, doubt it was on camera but the refs caught. Only mouthing I noticed with Lockhart was post altercation with DD31. Unfortunate result with Gauvreau doubt he had intent on that one

 

[Section5Petes]

Gauvreau listed as indefinite on the OHL website. No Melee and Gauvreau for the foreseeable future. However, getting Stillman back the tide is going to change. #GoPetesGo #PetesIn7 #PackThePMC

Exactly it. It wasn’t that North Bay was “better” tonight but we simply did not have puck luck whatsoever. We easily could have had 5+ goals. 3-4 posts, rolling pucks, everything. Not trying to make excuses but this was not our game and no need to panic whatsoever. 2-2 and I still feel very good about our chances. Petes got this

6-2....now it might be time to panic....

Petes starting to look like Barrie....when losing..

This may be hyperbole but...is game 6 the biggest game the Petes have played since 2006?? You could argue the 2014 playoffs when they came back from down 3-0 to Kingston. But that was round one (and was incredible!). Even in 2016 (I think?) when they made it to the conference finals, all the series were sweeps (Petes swept rounds one and two and then got swept by Mississauga). So I really think this might be the biggest game they've played in a long time. I expect a good one. More like the first 3 than the last 2.

If they can get the win tomorrow, a game 7 is the most unpredictable thing in sports. Anything can happen. History and stats don't matter. I just hope they come out strong tomorrow and push it to 7!

It's an interesting dynamic for Game 6 given that North Bay has all the momentum right now and the Petes have their backs against the wall at home with Stillman returning. I assume that Stillman will want to go full tilt to make up for his league-imposed absence the last two games (rather harsh imo). He just might take the rest of the team with him for a crazy Game 6 ride.

With the heart they've shown in the playoffs, I expect they'll come out flying tonight. I just hope it's enough. The crowd should be great, again.

Jonathan Melee has a broken ankle and is done for the rest of the playoffs no matter what happens. Tough loss. Has the true heart of a Pete

Is he top 4 pairing?

3rd line winger

Melee is a key role player with lots of hustle and scores the odd goal. We will miss him.

I saw the play very clearly in front of me in which he was injured. He went in hard towards the puck on the boards and he and Christopolus met shoulder to shoulder and Melee went off balance awkwardly into the boards. It was a "hockey play" as they say and in this case, Christopolous is a heavier guy than Melee with a low centre of gravity so it was like Melee was hitting a tank.

Whatever happens -I love these lads for all their heart and never quit attitude

These boys are true Peterborough Petes

In my opinion the Petes have been in every game this post season with the exception of game 5 in North Bay. I’d even say they were the better team for good parts of those games. Where they weren’t it was largely due to their own unforced errors, although there were certainly some stretches of the Ottawa series where you could see why the 67s led the league this year. As long as the Petes team that has been in every game this post season except for one shows up, I like our chances in game 7. Go Petes Go!
