We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Yes.. But I'm also 99% positive he was putting on a show for Ridly's sister
Nice to see Ott getting some secondary scoring, finally & also nice to see that the kids have finally arrived. Pinto & Greig just keep getting better & they are just getting started. Also nice to see Batherson have a big game, he's back to being second on scoring on this team after having no puck luck for what seemed quite some time. All of a sudden the goaltending is good, the defence is playing well & the forwards are scoring again. I just wish they would have picked up a tough guy at the trade deadline to have when required. I expect that MacEwan & Gilbert will be around when they need them if the going gets tough in the playoffs.
Yes been in the Belleville lineup for a couple weeks now I believe.
Had to have been something mental that was affecting his play. With just a tiny bit of tenacity he completely transforms his effectiveness.
Nice to see Drake getting some puck luck, he was all around it for a while but couldn't find the back of the net, probably something small injury bugging him. Even through the slump he was still one of our top pt producers & he is back to second leading scorer again. Ott needs him to be at his best.
That is 2 out of the last 4 games he has shown that desire to make a play, even without the puck.
When he is aggressive on the forecheck and moves his feet to get involved, good things happen.
The backcheck on Laughton, was a personal fave from last night. If he starts bringing that every game, he will exceed PPG the rest of the way.
This is definitely a motivator. However, I do think that he and Cozens simply have massive chemistry. The Cozens addition is a stroke of genius by Staios and staff.
I think this is a half truth.
He was playing the "wouldn't it be terrible if I gave away the puck and made a lot of oopsies and you had to trade me to a cushy American city" routine, but then he saw that Norris got dealt to Buffalo and realized that teams other than Dallas, Vegas, and Florida are allowed to acquire star players.
because nothing makes you more appealing to teams like Dallas, Vegas, and Florida like making bad plays and giving the puck away - all on purpose to boot.
