An argument i’m hearing from some barrie fans was he was to much rough and tough game and not letting skilled guys do their things. He always wanted those 6’5 or bigger guys. He wanted gritty guys. Why do you think he agreed they needed more scoring. It was cause the players he was drafting weren’t the big offensive guys. Foudy is one of the few guys that aren’t the banging gritty guys.

Barrie has been top 3 in PIM for six straight seasons, 3 of those #1. That is not on Rychel.

... and the other set of numbers? Can't really ignore those to suit your point, sorry.

Just checked online for tickets. West end is sold out. East end is sold out except for top few rows. Most of the rest is scattered singles, doubles, triples, and a few quads. Best count was, aside from the east end, less than 100 remain total.

Did they have a large giveaway :)? Seems like a good bump from the average.
Either way better atmosphere when full. Better optics for a National televised game as well.
Dale passes on a Your Welcome from LK ;)
Ohltg post regarding shuttles n bus seemed reasonably priced ( cheap) . I just know personally Id get frustrated waiting to leave the game afterwards :)

Windsor just keeps on winning. You are what your record says you are. Always believed that.

Ohloutsider was right. Dale will lean on his top players alot in this one (and almost every other game lol)
Shouldn't see the 4th line much at all.
Shut down McM goes along way to getting over on London. Any thoughts if TL will play a shut down group against McM line or if he will go best on best.

Enjoy the packed house.

Windsor does keep winning and I'll be happy to be wrong if they keep it up.

Letowski will likely roll four lines to start, usually does and has been effective when he does. If things go sideways or the game remains tight getting into the later stages you may see the bench shorten but while the fourth line doesn't see the same minutes as the rest they usually see regular ice time.

While there needs to be a focus on McMichael Windsor's bigger focus has to be on playing there game, strong forecheck, minimizing turnovers and worry about what they do moreso than what London does. The biggest issue is if they have a lead they don't sit back and wait for London to come to them. Start with pressure and maintain it through three periods.

The first time in a long time this team has played in front of a full house, for most the only time in Windsor and hopefully if they come out with a big game and solid effort throughout sixty minutes they see more of them. Windsor has a deep team but lacks that superstar draw. They can get it done when the effort is there but they need that team effort to keep the wins coming and if they do then hopefully they start to see a few more fans coming out on a regular basis.

This is a game where they can show they made the right decisions and make a statement to their fanbase as much as anyone else. Go out, play their game and they can still keep up with anyone.

Back ends looked rough. Rafkin being out worked on the power play, and IMO Karis looked lost through the first 40 minutes. Made a big pad save and stopped everything off the chest, but he seems to be out of position quite a bit.

I know we’re good in the third period, but if we’re gonna win, we need the best third period we’ve had this year.
