North Bay Battalion 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)
- Thread starter nelli27
- Start date
Thought the McCallum slew-foot might warrant a suspension too!
Impressed with the big boys on D. Also, nice set of wheels on #20 Smith.
Without Wakely and Nelson, does Romani even get 35 this season?

Romani scored 58 last year. Don’t think he increases totals losing that talented line. I’d predict 45-50 unless he goes to another team where he will have better linemates(I’d expect OVS will be gone if someone offers the right package) and wakely is done with NB.
Also expect Romani to be invited to team Canada camp. May not make team but should get invite if putting up numbers after last year
I guess the always popular slew feet are now exempt from additional discipline. PBO had 1 infraction and SBY had 2, apparently the Match Penalty is deemed adequate. I wonder what the difference is between a Match Penalty and Game Misconduct. 2 games for J.T. seems a bit low given his history. Maybe the repeat offender clock gets reset at the beginning of each season.
Wolves forwards Daks Klinkhammer and Blake Clayton will not be suspended despite their ejections for slewfooting in Sudbury last night. Penalty carries an automatic two games unless overturned on review, which was apparently the case.
From the Wolves forum. I will assume that McCallums was also reviewed and overturned. Which begs the question, " why take 5 minutes to review it in the first place "??

It's too bad about Wakely - he was a popular guy with the old-timers in my section.
190 is almost 206

Absolutely, but I don’t blame him one bit for wanting something better for himself, he’s done everything our team has asked of him in his 3 years with us. He’s got nothing left to prove to anyone with another season in North Bay with an average team.

From what we seen so far in preseason and tonight in Barrie Charlie Larocque is the real deal in net fellas. Nice to see.

You guys always seem to have pretty good goaltending. Has the goalie coach been there a long time?
just hired , but dont forget that Adam Dennis was an allstar goalie in his career
