Barrie Colts 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

100% need to get everyone involved need more from #81 #25 #71 especially from what I’ve seen

I would for sure add 15 and 19 to this list. it appears as though we were sold on a product of a line that is just not doing anything.

For sure but at the end of the day the playoffs are the only thing that really matters. Right now tho that doesn’t look real promising but who knows. #15 has the skill but is lacking physicality so I definitely think there’s a decent possibility he returns next year unless he wants to play ncaa. And if he returns next year that trade looks a lot better for Barrie.

He will return- no way he is ready for AHL. I don't see how that line turns it on and dominates come playoff time but we will see. 53-29-21 are the guys for us they have to carry it.

Agree but I think u need to change the lines need more than 1 line going maybe give hemming a top center id maybe try
71-29-28
19-81-53
21-25-15
85-84-whoever u want 91-27-74
Then D id go
12-77
8-86
74-88
Gotta try different things to find something before playoffs need to get 3 lines going every game.

I would continue to go 11-7 with this team to be honest. Gives marty a chance to get Jelsma or Hemming an extra shift every once in a while and not like anyone really deserves the spot. Plus I think Armstrong has a chance to gain some confidence and be a good player. He has the talent he just needs to get more comfortable.

I think especially with Bertucci out he definitely has to move to one PP unit instead of trying to spread it out. I would go 28 and 77 on their one timer sides with 86 up top 53 in the middle and 29 in front. Especially if 81 is suspended.

Yeah I agree with the 11-7 when the full team is healthy for sure unfortunately 19 81 have had majors in the first and second periods of the last 2 games then your down to 10 forwards. After forward 11 on this team there ain’t much left in terms of depth. Would have been nice to pickup a true heavy weight forward that wouldn’t have cost much but I think Derbidge is a good lockeroom guy so Marty kept him.

Yes it is an issue when someone gets kicked out but they should have better discipline than that. 91 actually had a decent run of games a while back before the trade with some injuries when he was up with 29 and 53 but I think it was just due to him playing with our two best forwards lol.
