Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

HEYES HAY PICKELL

GOODBYE

 

[TrustInPuck]

First sweep in franchise history for Kingston, Round 2 we goooo

 

[frontsfan67]

What a series

Quick work of the wolves. Looked about as dead as their wolf on the wire

Now to see how barrie fares against the ice dogs

 

[panarinsbread2]

What a gritty win but time to relax and get ready for round 2!

 

[beastintheeast]

I agree.

Willis, Uronen, Pieniniemi and the powerplay have been pretty much invisible.

Switch up lines for third I hope. Change it up keep the hay, Heyes and Pickell line together as well as the 4th line

Is it that they are invisible or is it partly at lesat that Sudbury is keying on them and they need to change the way they play the PP.

BTW who would have thought NB would win a game against bRANTFORD.

 

[ottsabrefan]

Congrats to the boys!! Awesome job! Never easy winning in Sudbury. On to Barrie!

Go Dogs! Stretch it out a bit more at least.

 

[frontsfan67]

Poor wolves swept 2/3 last years and

Last time swept was to the eventual OHL champions. Let’s hope that trend continues!

 

[frontsfan67]

So much for Sudbury in 4, 5, 6, 7!!

Maybe in 9

I think almost everyone thought Mcivor would steal them a game to be honest

I’m still trying to figure out what’s more annoying…
That stupid howling sound they play 200x in the arena or the fans in their thread here.

Yeah but 6 goals against Leenders McIvor stealing a game is one thing but 6 goals is something. I expect them to get blown out next game but then again that could give them some confidence and make McIvor a little better in nets.

That is sort of what i am worried about with Sudbury. If Musty and Mews decide t ut the team ontheir back and get the right bounces it could be difficult.

That’s a kid that can shutout any team in this league when he is on from what I have seen of him.

3 sweeps in 3 years, Petes swept us 1st rd two years ago and NB in 2nd rd last year

Sorry abut the comment I missed the Tuesday game. They deserve credit for a good series now they ge to rest because Barrie is going to be tough.

Enjoy the light skates and keep sharp and healthy.

Beast that fronts team wasn’t great at all. This is arguably the best one they’ve ever had or top 3 at the very latest. This fronts team maybe would sweep that other fronts team you’re talking about.

TYhe 2015 playoff team had

Sam Bennet Calgary Florida
Lawson Crouse Utah

Juho Lammikko Florida​

Spencer watson AHL but built for OHL team
Roland MCKeown AHL

I am not sure that it would have been the best team but it definitely had star power and McFarland for a coach.

As Kingston junior teams go there have beena lot of gret teams with star players I would not rank this team in the same boat as them.

You weren't arund for the M Center teams so really need to look at some of those lineups.

that’s some tough choices! Probably the howling since the fans I can understand being swept!

every game they played eachother this season was a 1 point game…actually surprised BFD went up 3-0…now hopefully they can win game 5 and save themselves another trip North.

Congrats to the Fronts on their Rd 1

The team that lost to Peterborough was in the 2014 playoffs, not 2015. That team was led by a bunch of exceptional 17 year olds, but this is a 19 year old league. I've been following this team closely for 31 years. This team doesn't have the star power (which is why I think it's lacking some respect from opposing fans) but I've never seen a team as organized and deep as this year.

Wolves in 8...goodluck in the playoffs Fronts fans!

 

[E27914]

Coaches poll was released, a few Fronts mentioned:

McGowan #2 Underrated
Burns #2 Hardest Worker, #2 Penalty Killer, #2 Defensive D
Uronen #2 Best Shot, #3 Hardest Shot
Battaglia #T3 Best Stickhandler, #2 Best Shootout shooter
Hay #3 Faceoff, #3 Defensive Forward

Back to business - it's go time.

Interesting Hay is listed as #3 in face off in the East. For the season statiscally he was #1 with 57.5%, Ethan Procyszyn was 53.7% and Patrick Thomas 52.8%. I will chalk that one up to Hay may not have been as well known in the East as he was in the West for FOs. Pano Fimis was stellar in face offs in the West at 63.2%

Fimis had 210 more FOW than the next highest. That seems to me a lot.
Thomas, Procyszyn, Hay finished 5,6,7; Guindon #2. Procyszyn quite often erases the opposition from immediate play after face- offs. That may have had as much effect on votes as FOW%.

He had to deal with 47 shots and made some eye-poppers - the bigger surprise for me was the 6 goals. That young team has had trouble scoring goals all season.

 

[zaluty]

Not sure of the schedule for the next round yet but if they play at home Saturday or Sunday, they should introduce the two first round selections to the crowd and let the picks see and feel what it would be like here.

BTW who would have thought NB would win a game against bRANTFORD.

Despite regular season and finishing first, as someone unbiased to that whole conference, I have though from midway through the season that Brantford is the weakest of the top 5 in the East. They were just more consistent. At their best on best I would pick any of 2-5 against them.
