Quick Question, when I was scrolling online and saw the Saginaw trades and before the eventual McNamara trade, people were discussing that McNamara was as good as gone because of the trades and had some kind of issue with players that were coming in (Hay, Willis, Bishop) or that he was a poor locker room guy. Any truth to these claims?
According to a couple players they weren’t upset at the news of his departure.

McNamara was a bad fit for this team. This is the same reason Saginaw got rid of him when they went all in. He’s a distraction to the rest the players. I hope Windsor can be a good change of scenery for him to start fresh
 
Switching up the forward lines today

Battaglia-Guindon-Soto
Miedema-Hay-Uronen
Willis-Hopkins-Heyes
Clark-Wright-Pickell

Looks like Sudbury gets Musty back today too, should be a good game.

The Battaglia-Hopkins-Soto line should have been our go-to line these last couple of games since they should have already had loads of chemistry together and they've just not had it, really invisible. Not surprised they changed it up and I'm happy to see it

They’ve been invisible since November imo. The odd game they’ll be amazing but most they fly under the radar. They needed a change for sure.
 
That PP should've been the perfect opportunity to get back into the game after another slow start right after Willis gets them on the board but it instead it's a SH goal and another two goal lead.

Betts might be the answer..
I have liked him more than vaccari the whole year. would much rather have him backing up schenkel(once Schenkel figures out his problems) as the future franchise goalie of the fronts over vaccari who is 19 and hasn’t improved since his rookie season and also may not even be back next year. Hopefully fronts trade for an 18 year old goalie next year and have them back up Betts.

What a horrible game it’s been for the fronts.

Can’t wait until about a week or two from now when they’re clicking as a group and not playing down the whole night.

When Ottawa plays us on the 22nd I predict that’s the big game that makes us go “holy crap” until then this is hard to watch. Before today 5 or 6 short handed goals on the year… today? 2 already and our starting goalie let up 5 in 22 mins after 5 in half the game yesterday.

Definitely not playing to its potential so far but very very early and I’ve been saying don’t judge them until a couple weeks later

I'm sorry but these announcers are clueless... So many mispronounced names, called Mann "Tony" then correcting to "Tory"... Saying they acquired McNamara and Manza...
They’re absolutely horrible. Have always been homers and clueless. I watch the games on mute in Sudbury.

Penalty shot after he already got a clean shot off on Betts and wasn’t far ahead? Williamson was holding the guy for god sakes. Luckily guy shot it 10 feet to the left of the net. Confusing move by the officials just like the penalty shot in the Soo.

Absolutely embarassing. I missed the first 5 minutes of the period and apparently I missed a lot but at some point we need a save. I thought the McCoy goal in the first was stoppable but i can't comment on the 4/5 goals.

Betts has had absolutely zero chance on any of those goals and it probably could've been 9 or 10-3 if not for Betts.
All the facebook fans losing their minds already 😂
Ahah the never ending source of entertainment

I'd like to believe that us still not having had a full real practice together is a valid excuse. But giving up 10 goals is something you can't practice out, that should never happen and it's embarrasing
 
Hopefully schenkel can shake off whatever he is going through I still have belief in him and maybe he can get into a groove next weekend.

Just need to get some practices in and adjust, get some rest and hopefully the team will rally and get it all figured out.

with that being said we got 4 out of a 6 possible points which is not bad but you take what you can get, and also throw this embarrassing one away and get ready for next friday.

For what it's worth the much of the team is / was sick : Sudbury Wolves feast on ailing Kingston Frontenacs, snap Fronts' four-game winning streak
