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

[Generalsupdates]

The potential is there, he’s constantly creating chances every time he has the puck, just needs to find some touch

Is he usually the 3C? And does he get consistent powerplay time?

lately on third line. The next time he is out on the powerplay will be his first.

He was on the PP late in the game when Chenier was off with the coincidental unsportsmanlike call. Yes indeed, I believe that was his first PP time of the season. Jackson, for some reason has gotten 2nd unit minutes all year.

Tonights game any thoughts?

5-3 Hamilton but hope it is reversed....our D is weak on the puck..our trouble all starts in our end...

I miss King!!

On the 2nd goal Pacey got beat hard wide on the wall. It continues to be the same old story. I understand hitting isn’t everything but if the guy is on the wall with nobody behind you and you have the position why not lay the body

Tonights game any thoughts?

Probably a loss unfortunately but P. Christo is back

 

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

Post game write up mentioned missing P.Christo due to suspension, Korpihalo due to injury but didn’t give a reason for Russell anyone know what’s up?

Lower body out hopefully no more than a couple of weeks

Updates are nice since we keep the team here for now.

Small sample size I know but to this point I don't see any issue with how Arnsby and PC4 have improved so far and both seem to buy in to the system.
Not many flourish under our system but the guys like Goodrow, Paul, Amadio appreciate how Butler developed them and all 3 seem to be enjoying good NHL careers. I don't think his theories are out of line, perhaps his delivery is the problem.

 

[Uncle]

Peters a breakaway + 2 crossbars so far, Rose also standing out. Overall playing a solid game, down 2-0 going into the third isnt ideal but they are very much in a game after controlling 75% of the 2nd period. They just need one

I think his style does well for a specific type of player and does nothing for any other type.

Purboo vs Propp tonight in KTown. Fronts up 3-1. Last place might be within reach.

Something like the good players who like Stan end up in the NHL and the good ones who don't play CIS?

The good ones who don’t never develop

The good ones who don’t never develop

Take Coe for example, I don't believe he would be any different right now regardless of which team he played for. Some can't be helped. I would never pin that one on Butler. I believe you will hear Arnsby one day while playing in the NHL credit Butler for making him the player he is. Similar to what we hear from the Goodrow's, Amadio's, Paul's and Brazeau's of the world.

Personally I disagree with your Coe take. Under a different coach I feel like he would be utilized completely different but that’s my opinion and I respect yours

 

[Olden]

Brazeau worked hes off.

Interesting:

With an average of 3,106 fans per game, it marked the first time in the 19-year history of Brampton hockey (Battalion for 15 years, and Beastfor four), that average attendance exceeded 3,000 fans per game.

Brampton Beast

Very interesting. Could be the team that's the problem more than the city.

Who would have thought. Wouldn’t consider ECHL much of a entertainment/talent upgrade over the OHL either

I wouldn't know because I've never watched it, but the ECHL is a professional league so one would assume the quality is a bit higher.

ECHL doesn’t have much in term of superstar players or anything. Might be a slight difference but it wouldn’t be huge
