That’d be the only option and it’s a option howie wouldn’t do in my opinion. He most certainly won’t bring in someone and pay 2 coaches for the remainder of the year. I think he’ll let Marty ride this out and hope things turn around. Which they still very much could the roster is there. The start of the season for the colts was rocky aswell and it took until late October into November for the team to really start playing well and that could be the case here might just take time but the way there losing getting out shot by teams rebuilding is very concerning. This team shouldn’t have an issue getting 4 goals a night. If this ship doesn’t get turned around they’ll be a lot of kids wanting out next season that’s for sure.

I didn't watch the game but didn't like the lines that were posted. I can't comment on the coaching since I'm not around the team. I would say as with anything, it will take some time to find a rhythm and some chemistry. Let's hope they sort it out over the next few weeks and get rolling like the can. It's disappointing to see a box score that showed 2 colts on the game sheet for the other team. And a Vaughan Scrap to boot. He should know better than to take Derbridge off with him though...haha.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, I haven't seen Windsor play live yet this year. I hope the Colts show up stronger than last night!

The way I see it…teams should be made of parts that complement one another. Now I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, but this team is probably the most talented team in the league, and sometimes that doesn’t translate to success on the ice.
I hope we can figure things out and learn to play as a team, with everyone committing to a role.

When we won the memorial cup in 2015 the Gens made four trades at deadline. It took over a month for the team to get going. You guys are blowing it out of proportion in my opinion for no reason.. you have plenty of time to adjust. The colts have a great team. Better to hit this bump in road now then when playoffs start..

I agree 100%. Have to give them time and great point about hitting bump in road now vs. in March.
I hope to see 3 lines put together tonight with line 4 a true line 4.

I agree it takes time but to act like the colts are the only team that’s made trades and no other team has is not accurate every team has to adjust and find chemistry not just Barrie. they gotta play better and work harder for starters. No reason to get out shot and out played majorly vs teams with 1-2 nhl picks when u have 9 picks
Howie the owner will never fire him he won’t go find another coach and pay 2 coaches unless they promote an assistant which I don’t think will happen non of the assistants have much experience coaching so that would be a big risk. Just gotta hope for the best at this point.
Finally back to the lines the fans have been calling for 2 weeks. See if the colts can get a big win tonight. U win 1 and things can change completely. No Eliasson tn and Hrebik starts in net.

Much better game tonight. Thought all four lines were clicking. Hopefully this is a big confidence boost beating one of the top teams in the West.

Windsor was playing a bit short handed and their trendy didn't have his best game but I'll take it.
The 4min PK was huge and they scored right after that.
Nice for Romani to get on the board even if an EN.

Crisis averted. Huge win against a good Spits team. Let's get another W against the IceDogs today.
Great game this afternoon took a while but the team finally capitalized on some chances in the third. Nice to see Romani and the top line look great today. Jelsma got back on the board nice to see that line start cooking again. And if Hemming starts scoring like that then this team becomes very very dangerous. Good weekend hopefully this is the start of something special with this group.

Didn't catch all of the game last night as I was flipping back and forth between Leafs & Colts. From what I saw Hrebik played another solid game. He actually saved their asses at the end of the game. Boys looked a bit panicky protecting a 1 goal lead 5v6. At the end of the day they pulled it out. Looking forward to seeing a good tilt tonight vs. Brampton at the home barn.

Not their best effort; however; a win and they are now tied again for the conference lead. Hrebik with a steady effort. Sugar Ray Aitcheson with the take out of Wray and the Gordie Howe hat-trick. Never understand why someone would jump someone after a clean hit. To top it off OS was already playing a shortened forward unit. Carter George is so fun to watch.
Brampton in town tonight and the boys need to keep the effort up especially on forecheck and puck possession.

Barrie’s got 25 games left this year and there’s still 5 teams in reach to get the 1st seed in the playoffs which would be huge considering the difference between the 7th and 8 seed right now is 9 points with Brampton having 2 games in hand. With 25 games left the colts probably shoot for 20 wins in those 25 games. Which is a steep goal but it’s very possible with this roster. Even 17 wins may even get u tops in the conference but with so many teams right near the top u gotta think a few teams will start to get really hot and win most nights. Personally I think it’ll be between Barrie and Oshawa and Barrie will have the tiebreaker vs them because Barrie is already 3-0 vs them this season. Also 8 of the next 9 games are at home and 15 of the last 25 games this year on home ice a pretty favourable schedule when it comes to home games.
Great effort as usual for The Attack (youngest team in the league). 16th one goal loss...future is VERY bright for this team
