North Bay Battalion 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 2)

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

How refreshing to see Ryan encouraging the young lads on when we were down 3-1, and Scott & Bill settling them down when we took the lead.

Almost like the assistant aren’t afraid to open their mouths anymore. Ryan got one hell of cheer when he was announced as coach

This is more than just a game. Hope nobody around has to deal with long term mental trauma. Really hope for the best for everyone involved. Kid was solid against us

Tucker’s surgery was a success. He is stable and safe in hospital. The road to recovery begins.

Only one game but perhaps #5's best game in 2 years.

Overall, still some blunders out there but the effort and 'want' was there. I saw more slap shots in that game then I have over the last 5 years.

Agreed. Still hope for the pacer yet. And it’s not like the entire team was gonna change overnight. Still too much passing on the PP instead of getting puck nets. Lots of improvement however

A tip of the hat to Brad Chenier for his overall effort last night - scored a goal, blocked some brutal shots and drove for the net with an extra zip in his skating.

Last two games he has really been flying, imposing his will on games and really a difference maker. His stat line is telling of that as well. The OA market is saturated but I’d like to see him go somewhere and make a run at something, don’t really care about the return.

Came out buzzing with new music

nice to see a set play pay off, ice it on purpose and beat it there for a goal, have done it a few times now including last game.

Niki Korpihalo left the team to go back to play in Finland

One of the best of the season from big joe but couldn’t get the win for him. Many opportunities, especially on the power play which clearly needs some work but it is what it is at this point.. I like the idea of losing to bottom feeding teams around us in the standings though.​

I believe we call these good losses

Perhaps, but if the coaches are serious about trying to reel in a playoff spot, losing to the team directly above you isn't helpful.

I’m sick of the 8th and final playoff spot so I’m happy. Not sure the coaches should be trying to reel in anything at this point of the season...

We don’t want to make the playoffs

Fantilli a game changer

North bay acquires Cameron Lamour from Sarnia for a 11th round pick in 2022

 

[SeniorJuniorFan]

Career 4.39GAA / .858SV% - conditional 11th seems a bit rich. But it is probably better to have an older player absorb some of the beat downs and to let the Proulx / Wray combo play and mature at a lower level.
I wonder if this means C Cicigoi is done for the season.

Anyone know what his injury is?

I think it's worth the gamble, he has had a lot of injuries, mainly concussion issues.

 

[Samee987]

6.24 GAA - 0.836 save % ....probably severe sunburn on the back of his neck from the goal light... JK. Hope it's not long term.

Plenty of red in the crowd
