Struthers and Walker?

 

[three dog night]

Niagara native McMaster two goals in the game winner

 

[belair]

Flu maybe? Get McMaster on that LW now though. Four points for both him and Brazeau.

Kyle Jackson????Hamilton////when///for what/who

Kyle Jackson 2018 4th round draft pick?

Edit: sorry 3rd round pick, 4th player selected by the Troops

 

[The Prophet]

McMaster -3 tonight , 13th overall
Forhan did score tonight .....his 1st point , 33rd overall
Damien Giroux , + 6, 5 points tonight , team Captain ,5th round to the Wild ...44th overall....
Giroux played minor midget for Sudbury , and played lots of games at the West Ferris Arena, so it wouldn't have even taken a road trip to see the kid.

Very, very disappointed in the play and effort by #21 this whole season. It looks like he doesn't want to be here!!

Sad to see, although is that maybe just how he plays? Soft and long stride, smooth skating players usually get labelled as that they do not give a crap.. either way was expecting him to be a main source of scoring this year. Disappointed thus far.

Coe is not even 17 yet; and, behind Brazeau on the RW depth chart. Justifiably, Brazeau is getting all the prime minutes.
Coe & McMaster should look better as a 2nd line if/when the inexperienced D play more comfortably.

Doesn't mean he's not lazy though....

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing War, what is it good for Absolutely nothing say it again

Nice road win in a tough building

 

[OHLfan200]

Soo fan here. Definitely thought Purboo deserved 1st star today, he played amazing!

I picked the 3 stars today but I had a couple of drinks too may I guess lol

 

[too_long]

Nice weekend for the boys..with a depleted line up. Go Troops Go!

 

[hardclimate]

Brazeau may not be a signed player but that was certainly a pro-style goal in OT.

 

[belair]

Good lord how does this kid not have an NHL contract?

C'mon Battalion fans...be fair. You all seem so quick to point out the negative every week but when there is something positive to write about, the keyboards, save a few of you, are pretty silent. The team goes on a tough travel 3 in 3 road trip to Michigan minus some key guys (Walker, Stuthers among others) and come away with four of six points. The game they lost, with a third period collapse, was tied after 40 minutes. Kudos as usual to Brazeau and what appears to be a revival by McMaster. The d-crew tightened up and I am sure Calves aided that area. Solid weekend for the Troops.

Me bad...plus the stellar work by goaltender Purbou who, based on the Soo thread, played GREAT!! A strong backup to CP.

Absolutely!!!
A road trip like that with a depleted lineup could be the turning point these guys need. Honestly, how many have them a chance in the Soo after the 3rd period meltdown vs Saginaw.
Good work guys, looking forward to see what Thursday brings.

To be fair, I wasn't in the Soo, Sag or Flint . I try to make comments from my views at the Gardens . Thought they could beat Flint (worse team Canada) and they did , the 2 points in the Soo are a bonus.

 

[Battaion Fan]

I think this was a great weekend for the team. Just to get out of town and to bond with each other. I hope Walker is back soon too. It sure would be nice if more people went to the games though.

Purboo is by far a better goalie than Propp. More consistant, plays the angles better and doesn't panic. He should be the #1 goaltender with Propp as the back up. Purboo will get drafted whereas Propp won't. IMO

 

[INTENTIONALLYOFFSIDE]

^^^^Maybe they should trade Propp back to Owen Sound, I am sure Attack would do that in a heartbeat.
