Was out snowmobiling a couple of weekends ago with some friends I haven't seen since my early 20s. One of them let me know that a kid I coached in Bantam hockey had a son playing for the Kingston Fronts. Seems the kid and his Dad shared nick names so GO HOPPY! Seems like he is on a real tear for you guys recently hoping to see his name called high in the upcoming NHL draft. Neat fact on the team Tyler's Dad played for that I helped coach was NHL player Todd Harvey. It was Todd's last year of minor hockey as the next season he went on and played Junior B in Cambridge and then onto Major Junior in Detroit.
 
The goal is to win the conference and create better first round matchup. However it’s realistic the fronts may fall short with a tough schedule. Looks like Brampton will finish 5 seed . I really don’t want to finish 4th. Where do you guys think the fronts finish .

I feel bad for whoever finished 4th and has to play Brampton round 1 they could be finally putting it together. They remind me of the Petes when they were inconsistent during regular season but put it all together during the playoffs

Ideally we manage to grab 1/2/3 spot, as playing Brampton in the first round is an unsavory proposition. Realistically we will be in really tough to get 1st as not only Brantford had our number this year, but they are rolling like a machine right now. I'd like our chances more vs oshawa with our post trade acquisitions all in the line up. I think Hay brings an element of shutdown/pest centre that can help keep Sennecke/Barlow at bay a bit. A healthy Willis means you have 3 lines that can score and skate well. I think Bishop playing with Burns was giving Burns more freedom and comfort.

I agree and you never want to play a goalie like Ivankovic first round. Especially the fronts with his career stats vs us.

First game:
30/32 saved Win
Second game:
38/41 saved Win
Third game:
30/32 saved Win

That was all his rookie season.
Then this season he has only played us once but:
28/28 saved Win

Total of 133 shots and 126 saves.

Combined 0.947 across the 4 games. All 4 wins obviously.

Yeah don’t want to play him. Same with martone who seemingly lights us up every game vs us.
