No he’s been a clown for a long time.

You’ve trashed Clarke, Othman, Wright a lot; some DMF issues to sort out?

They’re not humble kids.
Love Arnsby which I’m sure he played for that team?

And A & P Christopolous did too

Humble kids. So no I don’t have an issue with DMF sir.

And Schmidt, Thornton, and Arcuri (posts made about his character too sadly); incredible team.

A large portion of junior hockey kids are filled with arrogance

Someone is enjoying a memorable 50/50 draw from last night.

 

[Saggy]

I can totally agree with the clown comments on Clarke BUT you have to give the kid credit as he has been a target for the past two series and is still getting it done.

The kid rarely gets off the ice and rarely gets tired. I’m sure there is sone jealousy out there and his antics don’t help his cause but if he is not the best player in the OHL then he right up there

Hopefully Seattle has been keeping a close eye on Nelson over the last couple of games. He’s really seemed to start simplifying things and with that his defensive zone play has been outstanding and still creating offence and putting up the points
Keep up your great play young man.
I also often comment on the strength of Winslow being his play along the boards as he very rarely doesn’t control the puck in those situations. Of course the first time in recent memory happened last night when he was shielded away from the puck by Cardwell who found the streaking Clarke for his beauty backhand shelf job. Watch AW8 when the puck is along the boards, it’s remarkable how well he controls it, the large majority of the time.

Did you guys see that video of Clarke on YouTube? Point proven.

 

[The Green Tank]

Let’s hope this is over tonight! If they play like they did on Saturday it should be a happy evening. Great to see Mathurin back on the ice and looking comfortable. Go Troops.

Is a bus going down to Barrie?

Saw the fans lined up outside of the building getting ready to go about a half hour ago

I want an all "green" OHL final...
Finish off the Colts.

 

[SeniorJuniorFan]

Game sheet indicates continuation of 11/7 format: Tnias remains in and E-Pro21 remains out. I presume coach will stay with this setup for the balance of their season.

Love the outrage in the Facebook group over the Brandt Clarke taunting video. Could be it a bad look on the fans? Yeah sure of course but at the same time Mr Clarke is a 20 year old adult with a 3 year 5.3 Million dollar contract. (Witch he loves to brag about) If you can’t maintain your composure infront a OHL size crowd how are you going to handle yourself in the NHL?

Romani’s growth has been great. Kid has a really big offensive toolbox and it’s all coming together.

Needs to be physical

Doesn't get much praise for his work on defense but #8 Winslow has been playing some great hockey this past month.

This series with Barrie has 7 games written all over it. Goaltending should be the deciding factor.

Boom!

They will have to win a conference final against a very good maroon and white team for that to happen. The Peterborough Petes just eliminated the Ottawa 67s who finished first overall in the regular season, in six games

Regular season doesn't mean didley squat. It's the playoffs that count. Play good enough to make it then turn it up.

 

[Samee987]

Pretty even series so far. Pressures all on the home team now. The 'big boys' gotta step up tonight.

 

[belair]

Need to take advantage of the quality of depth this roster has over Barrie at even strength. Play a smart game and do what they can to stay out of the penalty box.

Too many one and done possessions in Game 6. Need to establish the forecheck and pound them on the OZ cycle. Do that and you'll probably get the PP advantage and that might be what decides this game.

Let's go Battalion!

 

[Otto]

I refuse to put this game on tonight. Every time I've had the Colts on this playoffs they have pulled some magical rabbit out of their butter and scored a late goal or won in OT.

GO TROOPS!

 

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

Feels like next to no life in this team through 1.5 periods
