People see it, it's whether the frugal owner will do anything is the biggest question. Hire/ promote Dylan for the remainder of the season and hope the hell he can turn this shit show around.

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.
 
so far the n bay line is scuffling........as a Batt fan i dont like to see...they are terrific players/citizens
 
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.

Go Colts Go

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

If Barrie loses both games on the weekend is it the end of Marty has a coach.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
Marty blew this one tonight keep playing your 4th line and 3rd pairing D vs the other teams top 2 lines and your going to get burned

Actually can’t believe they tied it and won it the kids deserved the win coaching has to get better late in games tho can’t be playing the entire team

I missed the great comeback as I had a conflict and had to leave the game half way through. First half of the game Steelheads were pretty much in control of the game and Sam kept the Colts in.

Awesome to read that they tied it up late and scored right away in OT. That one will build some confidence, resiliency, and character.

Keep it going Colts!

Oshawa has had a hard time with Barrie and Brantford. I think Kingston has a good chance to lead the east.

First goal against, D Pairing 3 was on for a goal against but not their fault. Handsor had his guy and Passmore defending the rush. Hemming and Gardiner both puck watching & Stewart chasing the puck instead of grabbing trailer. 25 goes to the slot uncontested and scores. I guess Passmore could have been more aggressive on his gap defending the rush but IMO the puck watching is what caused the goal.

Second goal against was PP Bertucci and Aitcheson were on with Beaudoin, OVS. But I guess if 4th line was on with Handsor taking the penalty that lead to the goal might be what you're referring to...can't see that in the replays.

The boys pulled it out though and that's what's important. Onto the next.

No they weren’t but the OHL guru seems to think that a team can compete for an OHL title playing 9 forwards and 4 D. Jimmy should quit his day job and and go all in on hockey he seems to have all the answers.
The team is on a nice run and they are getting solid minutes up and down the lineup which is what they will need if they are going to have any chance to compete for a title. Different kids every night chipping in.
