Kinda like (Outwater, Sima, Podolioukh), VanSteensel, Romani, Procyszyn can’t get prime development TOI?
The difference is we have had a top 5 team in the OHL both this year and last. Butler had some tire fires and still refused to play highly offensive skilled players in top 9 or either PP.
From what I saw he demanded defense be a priority (not terrible teaching) while punishing any attempts at creative offense. The game has changed and he hasnt, bad hire IMO

Let’s not forget players like Brandon Coe that completely changed after his departure
 
A lot of straight legged passengers out there tonight, coach needs to smash a stick at intermission. Wake up
 
Good game, felt NB got the benefit of some fluky bounces and the questionable 1st goal. Also got the benefit of playing Windsor with out its #1 and #2 center and best defensive d-man. Hopefully a preview of the OHL finals.

Yes you’re right. I also think the lighting affected the Windsor players as well.

North Bay with another bounce off the dasher behind the net. Same thing happened to Sudbury on Sunday. Obviously North bay players know that and use it as a sort of a design play when they have lane to the net. So they purposely miss the net knowing that the forward will pick it up on the other side. Good on them for using home ice to their advantage.

we also had #5 det draft #11 tbay draft and #9 Dal draft missing so things were equal
 
Not sure missing #1 pick Shane Wright who has played 9 NHL games would classify it as equal...
Probably not, but next man up right?
Ertel has been #1 RW for most of the season. Arnsby is the C that plays against the top line, 1st PK, and every defensive zone face-off in the final 5 minutes.
The battalion were not at full strength. I’m not sure if the battalion have played 2-3 games with a full line-up this season.

Wright is a bust my friend.
He probably only wants to play bottom teams so he can pad his stats.
Again, what makes you think he is a bust? Do you have any numbers to back this claim up?

He had 3 points in 8 games with the Kraken (playing only 5 minutes per game). Had 4 goals in 5 games in the AHL. And has 11 points in 6 OHL games, that's a 124 point pace in a full OHL season.

Listen you believe whatever you want.
In my opinion and many more who are in the business are saying the same thing. He is not a game changer for Windsor.
