Douglas gets 1 game - back Sunday.
Edit - Allen gets 2 games back Thursday.
Spits struggle with Flint. They do need a win though, 6 loses in a row is hard on the team psyche. Need points, any points at this stage. Erie is not rolling over so if the Spits want to play any extra hockey tonight will go a long way to helping that. If not then a high draft pick it is.Win tonight!!! Go Spits Go!!!
I understand the rule, I just don’t like it.
Two guys wanted to go, they went.
No instigators, not following a big, no third man in, didn’t start a line brawl... just two guys fighting. 5 Minutes and 5 Minutes is what it should be.
From a “safety” standpoint, I find it better for two willing guys ready to go, stepping out of the box, off the bench, at the drop safer. It’s not pushing, shoving, helmets pushed up, off balance let’s drop the gloves now.
I find it more dangerous when there’s a scrap in front of the net, someone gets a face wash, someone gets put in a headlock, then they fight on impulse, leaving more room for the helmet to be in the wrong position, falling awkwardly and concussion.
I miss the early/mid 2000s so much.
There was something special about guys dropping their gloves at the drop, taking off their elbow pads, setting their helmets down and just going. Yada-yada, the games changed, it’s not the same, they can’t do that anymore. I know, I know. But it was fun! And the OHL attendance was better than too
Quit trying to guess. It would be easier to guess the Lotto numbers. LOLGoing to guess that Piiroinen gets the start. Incze will get SSM on Sunday.
Might want to buy that lottery ticket - I think this is a good guess.Quit trying to guess. It would be easier to guess the Lotto numbers. LOL

If I had to place a wager, I’d bet Incze starts in Flint and if we win he starts in the Zoo tomorrow, and for the last two games. Best shot at winning is tonight and we must concentrate on that. At this stage, IMHO you won’t see Kari unless of injury, illness or a game gets out of hand.Going to guess that Piiroinen gets the start. Incze will get SSM on Sunday.
On the other hand, why not play Piiroinen in the one game where he could do well? Frankly, if it was up to me, it'd be Kari tonight, Incze tomorrow, Kari on Thurs (Flint), Incze on Fri (Sar).
But teams seem to put top guys in box if they aren’t PK guys just in case there is that off chance there a scoring chance coming out of the box.Who cares who plays net, especially when there is very little focus on playing well. TL puts his top scorer to serve a penalty in a tight game????? Just like the coach approaches these games, who cares!!!!!
Like I said, my guess is Piiroinen in net...
Does it concern you that you and TL agree.Like I said, my guess is Piiroinen in net...

Why is Piiroinen an automatic loss? lol
