Butler might onto something with the big defensemen. You don't need three pairings of 6'4 pylons, but size on the backend does make a team harder to play against. During Erie's 50 win seasons they always had at least one horse on the blueline. Donnay, Macdermid, Cernak or some combination depending on the year. Even the Oshawa team that beat Erie in the 14-15 finals was pretty big on D. The key will be not stifling skill in the pursuit of size and strength. Not a bad message from him to start all-in-all.

Looking forward to Erie Blades night on Saturday. Surprised that a couple ex Blades who live in the area won't be there. Especially Pierre Legace whose sons Jourdan and Evan played for the Otters.
 
Missing 3 of our top skilled forwards tonight:

Fimis, Molnar, and Bressette
 
Lockhart celly was bad karma. What a cancer he was in Erie. Sure he’s developed with the Petes, but he was never a decent teammate.

Well I don’t blame him after spending all that time in Erie… easy to see why players struggle there as it’s rebuild and no direction year in year out. No wonder he asked for a trade, anyone in the right mind would do the same to get out of that mess.

Except literally everyone disliked him and most of the problems started with him. He’s classless and not a team first player. There’s a reason he was “boo’d” every time he touched the puck tonight. When he scored, he went up to the glass middle finger up and told fans to “f off”.

Maybe he’s changed, but it’s highly unlikely.

Well unfortunately for Otter fans, in Peterborough we see a different side of Lockhart. A team guy and one of the major contributors to our team. Easy to see he actually enjoys where he is now with the Petes and knows that Erie was literally ruining any chance he had at progressing his hockey career further. You can boo him all you want but I’m glad he got out of there before it was too late

You do realize the Otters beat your loaded up Pete’s last night right?

He enjoys where he’s at except he got beat by his former team who is almost last place overall. He didn’t look any better last night compared to when he was in Erie. He probably didn’t progress here because of his poor attitude and lack of character. He’s a me first player and not a team first player.

When your a pisspoor teammate , a Lockhartroom problem , and don’t play to your potential and don’t produce up to expectations -is it really Erie’s fault ??

Cmon Section5Petes - maybe you tripped on one of them there rotten 4x4 pole building support posts holding up the Peterborough complex !!?? That was your go for it team you’ve assembled ??

You guys got spanked by the worst team in the league / enjoy getting bounced early in the playoffs .. and having that cancer on your squad ..we already forgot who he was talk about OVERRATED …

When Flint played Erie 73 times last year he was my least favorite Otter. I had a screenshot saved on my phone of him skating into the corner, hands raised celebrating a goal all by himself while play was still going on ready to go just in case I got into a heated debate on the Otters forum. You could SEE the attitude from the stands.

He was our least favorite Otter as well. Chances are if it became a “heated argument” we would’ve probably agreed with you.

He just lacks class. He doesn’t understand how to be a teammate.

Haha. The 2019 draft. 1. Shane Wright 2. Brennan Othmann 3. Connor Lockhart. and THEN Brandt Clarke, Mason McTavish. Oops.

I don’t think Clarke was an option for either of Erie or Flint.
The Petes gamble on MacTavish was equal to Saginaw taking a chance on convincing Perfetti imo

Gibbons is back and playing well in net!

While no one could have predicted the Lalonde disaster in net this season...

Had our coaches been able to predict the future we could have gone with Lalonde and Gibbons while skipping out on the Downey trade and we'd be in a similar spot we are in now.

One has to think one of our 3 goalies will be on the trade block before next season.
 
I think I heard he was under concussion protocol and could be back this week depending on his progress.

A quick check of stats must be off here :

LaLonde and team Erie have played in 90 reg season games over the last 2 seasons so far .. LaLonde winning 34 of them ..

That’s 37.7% .. can that be right ?? Because that is absolutely pitiful if true
 
Molnars family is in town.

Kulakov has a custom made shirt with Ondjre’s face on it. It’s clear the imports have each others back.

No Cohen. He’s injured. Gilmartin didn’t say exactly what the injury is.

I’m tired of always losing, but I’ve been saying that since post 2017. Nothings changing.
