Notes from the rink tonight....
- Good on the Boys from Battalion country for standing up for themselves - lot of suspect and/or dirty play from Peterborough tonight. Petes have been exposed...they play well when they play chippy and physical but when NB pushed back, things changed in a hurry.
- Guys like Pazii and Proczszyn need to play more; they showed a lot more tonight than Arnsby did - who was his hot headed (and boneheaded!) self tonight. It's one thing to play with an edge -and when he's in control, that can be an asset to the team. Playing out of control - I don't care how much "sandpaper" you have, you become a liability. "Liability" and "team captain" are two terms that shouldn't be spoken in the same sentence.
- Romani and Wakely...fast developing into one of the best 1/2 punches in the league. You'll have to fight me to force me to say otherwise....
- North Bay has a problem I'm sure every team would love to have....an embarrassment of riches between the pipes. Robertson and McIvor need playing time to grow - McIvor in particular; he showed a lot when DDV was on the shelf. I'm sure neither one of those young guys is going to want to stapled to the bench for too much longer. How to address this to the benefit of everyone involved?
- 9 Defencemen currently on NB's active roster, If North Bay starts to sell, it's going to be from this group first.
- Mathurin not playing tonight; heard from more than one source at the game that he was sick and was scratched to allow him to rest.

I was wondering what’s going on with him too-hope all is well.
He is a tremendous player and I sincerely hope he is ok -
The Petes are first in the East, defeated NB in the playoffs last year and won tonight's game despite taking a series of incredibly stupid penalties and giving up all kinds of PP chances because they were/are a far superior 5 on 5 hockey team (who weren't much further ahead in each instance because the Battalion have a great goalie).
If they've been exposed, it certainly isn't by North Bay.
The better team won tonight, no question. Big fast team. I would say add a goaltender and they are right there. I'm sure the gong show tonight is not the norm. Definitely took it to the smaller NB team.
The Petes starter last night, Liam Sztuska, was leading the league in SV% going into the game.
Last night was not his best game, but three of the goals were on the PP.
That's the first time this season the Petes have given up more than 4 goals......but they still won the game
The Petes' goalie situation is just fine. IMO, Sztuska and Bowen one of the best tandems in the league.

Guess I haven't seen enuf of him. Then again Divencentiis didn't shine either.

I think That's very possible, especially if it reduces the number of picks also included. Sudbury is the team IMO. They have the biggest need and the right type of assets to flip. I hope :) The wolves need a couple of winners. I think O.Beck would be great fit for the ‘67s too. Cameron’s...

He played last night against the Petes
He played last night, which is why I was wondering. From starting to not even dressed.
It is not uncommon for players coming back from an injury to not play in back to back games.

Returning from injury. 5 hour bus ride on a back up back. He ain’t playing so why dress him? We also have a 3 headed goalie monster to take care of as well.

Just watched the Soo game and without a doubt, best game Ertel has played in 2 years. Put on a show for his Dad.

I agree. He was all over the ice. Hats off to Jacob T. He’s been great. That line was buzzing. Let’s hope they keep it up against Sudbury. McIvor looked excellent again last night.
Fri. night in SSM looked like a real character win for the team, flipping the script from 24 hours earlier, and doing it including a 5 hr. trip to one of the league’s top squads. Agree re: Justin Ertel. I think if he has any aspirations for pro hockey, he will need to deliver many more of these. Check his resume: 3rd rd. selection in NHL draft, played 1 season of NCAA prior to coming here (albeit a 1G season), so he has the cred. (in theory anyway). His back pass from the boards through the feet of a defender onto the Cap’n’s stick for a goal was magic. As was J. Therrien’s rush up the left wing with eventual centring pass to Ertel for his 2nd.
Couple of things jumped off the score sheet for me (and we can debate the value of +/- another time): Game score 5-4, D Ty Nelson 1A and +4; Cap’n Arny 1G 1A, +3.
In other news, ticket sales for Sun. look to be crowding the 3000 mark. I imagine we will see lots of blue, white and gray in the stands.

He made Virgilio look silly, who hasnt looked great since entering league, I remember there being a decent amount of hype?
DDV out, Charlie has the net, Mike McIvor will be backup. 12 T. McDowell makes league debut, Cajkovic remains out. 28 S. Forgione re-appears after an extended absence. For SBY, Musty remains out with suspension, looks like the backup to the backup will have the net.
About 1200 remain unsold, looks like attendance will be 3000 – 3100.
