Those players turning 19 will be in their 3rd & 4th year playing against a new crop of 16-17 yr old rookies & 3 max [current 19-20 yr olds (OSH currently has 12)]. So yes, the Petes will be much better simply because they will be loaded with 19 yr olds.
.....and thats what makes it awesome, if Petes can win some games vs Gens in this series and next year it'll help with the rivalry right now its a tad one sided is allThere something wrong with the Oshawa fan base they hate us with a passion? They fill the rink when the Petes are in town, there big mouths are every where yelling insults all game long? their immature little video making fun of what is a Pete on Friday , then Sunday there video whack a Pete were tasteless, and rude,classless organization? Its one thing if there doing it to other teams but have never seen it only against Petes? Historic brawls, coaches fighting Petes player in hall ways, no wonder big bad Generals are so brave at home ?Even the front office group try to create hatred toward our fan base? Grow up!
Best save I have seen in a long time. Kirky was not happy about that one!That was a good response. Every player was finishing their checks. Robertson. SDA, Denault. Top to bottom, everyone. We put pressure on the Generals defense and they coughed up a lot of pucks and lost a lot of board battles.
I said before the regular season ended that this was a bad match for Oshawa because if they want to finish off Peterborough it's going to cost a physical toll and high emotions where beating the Steelheads would have been a cleaner slate for them heading into round two. We're 3 games in and you can already see the physicality of the series and how Oshawa, despite being older and bigger aren't matching that intensity right now. In the first two periods they spent more time arguing with the refs after every hit than they did focusing on controlling the puck. It reminded me of how we un-wind the 67's and get their skill players off their game and frustrated.
Salinitri and Fraser had an exchange in the 2nd period and after that, Salinitri wouldn't go into a corner when Fraser was on the ice knowing he was going to get mobbed.
Gotta give Keyser props for the biggest save I've probably ever seen. Not sure if it was just my angle I was seeing it from, but man he robbed Kirk of a no-doubter.
okRelax. The videos were cheesy and probably entertained the kids in the crowd like they were aiming to. I remember the year after the Gennies won, the Petes did a bandwagon cam for any Gens fans in the crowd. It's just the game ops crew getting paid to do their job, entertain the crowd and fill in commercial breaks.
Now the new scoreboard in Barrie only shows adds now.While Barrie was laying a beating on Sudbury in a playoff a few years ago, the scoreboard featured a colt with a wolf over its knee giving the wolf a lickin’; freak’n hilarious once you got past the taunting
That was no steal, well earned. Petes looked like a different team, I think mindset has a lot to do with it. Looking forward to watching more of the series. Excellent job by the TV crew as well.The Petes had a jump in their skates tonight and were positioning themselves much better on coverage. Jones was solid. But in the end it was skating that won the game. I liked Cermak and Spearing tonight and of course Paquette. Fraser showed up. Let's see if we can steal another Thursday.
That’s great Zebra I think for some reason their team just decided to play a full game with some physicality for once and it paid off and fans appreciated the effort I think even if they had lost that game fans would have appreciated that effortYou know what?
Last night I actually JUMPED IP and clapped when we took the lead -seems like everyone in my section stood up and clapped !
Haven’t done that since 2006
They played hard. Our rink is smaller only by 10ft on paper but looks way smaller then that. Petes played a physical desiplined game and in a tighter rink seemed to make a big difference. Watching warm ups it looked like there was only room for one Max two sets of players passing in the neutral zone. At tribute it looked like you could put 4. Hope the boys can play the same way Thursday and really make a series of this. With that said. Let’s back the rink Saturday night and shut the gens fans up! It’s not a series till you lose at home! GO PETES GO!That was no steal, well earned. Petes looked like a different team, I think mindset has a lot to do with it. Looking forward to watching more of the series. Excellent job by the TV crew as well.
Good for you man. Nothing like the jump. It’s not something you even do consciously Absolutely euphoric (by the way I just found out the word Euphoria is from the Greek for having a state of health) Makes sense to me man. Light it up....and then watch the game. Hope it’s a another win tomorrow.You know what?

My guess is he’s just not comfortable without it yet? Because he is old enough to not have to wear it.I've probably missed this somewhere but why does Hutton still wear a full cage?
