I like the signing. Big goalie and he was really good for Mississauga Rebels
6-1 and not even 30 shots against Purboo yet ... Looks like another loss... This time to the 10th place team.
Man you know a good goalie when you see one.
I can't even watch the rest of this. So sad.
poor ceci was a victim of bad D with oshawa tonight as well...you're right a bad D night certainly makes their goalies look terrible!Yeah good goalies never have bad games in their rookie season. Good call dude
Dylan Wells is one of the top 2 goalies in the OHL and he just gave up 7 goals on 19 shots like 2 nights ago.... And he isn't a rookie. Bad games happen, especially when the D isn't good

easy to say make this comparison at this point..last year when mcmaster had a good rookie season with 25pts dont think anyone was questioning this particular comparison. however to be fair, at #13 i think he went a tad high for me...where he played is irrelevent unless you just wish to take all local guys it depends on whats available when your pick comes up..every team has a northern guy thats sees as much local as any team scout on north bayDamien Giroux had a 3 point game for the Spirit, has 17 points on the season ,he was taken in the 3rd round #44 overall. His 17 points is more than McMaster #13 overall & Forhan #33 overall combined for this season. Its not like Giroulx played on Mars , he actually played MM in Sudbury , so then played games @ West Ferris Arena. Do you think anybody from the Troops could have taken the time to scout 5 min from their home rink ? FYI .....Giroux is on the NHL draft list to boot.

62 shots against and 12mins on the PK will do it lucky to only let in 9...crazy timesHunter Jones....... Yikessssss
Is this you justifying to yourself or everyone else as to why you didn't renew?........I guess. Can't blame why the people are staying away.

I don't have to justify my non-renewal. Any good knowledgeable hockey person would know that the team would be very weak after the two good first years we had here. Don't forget those players were drafted (and reported) when the team was in Brampton, not North Bay. It will be a number of years before this francise gets another contender (if ever). The people that continue to go are only paying with hopes that Abbott keeps the team here. Myself (and a lot of others), could really care less. But why throw good money out the window and watch garbage hockey. I have a lot of other better ways to spend $600.00.Is this you justifying to yourself or everyone else as to why you didn't renew?
Or explain why some continue to go?

Stan just can't produce good hockey. Look on other teams forums, they all say it. Battalions are boring to watch.
Offense is not feared by any team, which makes it easy for other teams to rush up and cause chaos.
Is there talent on the team? Yes. Are the kids being positively motivated? No.
Every body wants out. The team is a sinking ship. It is unfortunate because I do see potential and like some of these young guys.

Chronic complainer...went to the finals and you were complaining. For someone who is not a season ticket holder, go to games, or care if the team leaves town, you keep showing up on the forum as if you have a vested interest.Oh Boy, Don't look now but we are overall the last placed team. Not another year like last year. Let's just concentrate on trying to make the playoffs........I guess. Can't blame why the people are staying away.
Explain to me what 'good hockey' is. The only time I've ever seen other fans complain about 'boring hockey' is when our team was preventing their stars from creating offense. We haven't had an effective defensive team in years due to lack of quality personnel.Stan just can't produce good hockey. Look on other teams forums, they all say it. Battalions are boring to watch.

scouting after the draft is done is always way easier
For your information, I have been going to the games that I want to see. If they catered to the requests season ticket holder's made, they might get more of them. But that's another story.Chronic complainer...went to the finals and you were complaining.
