North Bay Battalion 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[frontsfan67]

You don’t seem to understand that where Wakely would play would determine the return. It was not Kingston. Oshawa was not ready, and really not able to make that commitment. Barrie was offering (potentially very good) spare parts, not six or more (2-4) picks.
I can say with confidence that I watched [(at least)] double the amount of central division games that you did last season. Moses did not warrant top six minutes with the colts, or top 9 minutes with that team by mid-season. And TBH, I would have preferred J.Newton over Moses.

Just admit you were wrong dude. If you think J Newton is better than Moses you need to actually watch a game

I said I would (prefer) J.Newton. He is a centre; and at this time a better body checker, and defensive player.
If you disagree with that, it is you that needs to watch a game.

7Pts in 45 games last year. Moses on the same team had 25 pts get off the drugs

Interesting career change.

3 points for “4th liner” Shamar Moses

Battalion definitely deserved to win that one

I think it's time to move on from Therrien. Can't keep his emotions in check. Let him be someone else's 'little sparkplug'.

 

[190 is almost 206]

Emotions run as high as his turnover count.

2 points and -8 in 5 games don't inspire a lot of confidence when combined with all the other stuff.

Recently Adam Dennis made the comment that it would be the team's objective this year to surpass what was achieved last season. While it's still early days, we don't seem to be getting the vibes that his objective has a realistic chance . I've been a sth since day one, and it doesn't take long to get an impression of what we have player-wise. Considering the current roster, does anyone else see this team going far, or am I just being pessimistic?

The only true centres are 18 & 16. I very much doubt NB goes beyond round one. I do like the make-up of the team for next season though.

Personally, clinching a playoff spot would be considered a success to me. If that happens, I don't see them going past one round.

18? Jacob LeBlanc a true centre?
Typo?

Is it normal for GMs to lay out their plan to rebuild? That just sounds like a manager voicing his confidence in the team in front of him. Odds are this team doesn't did the playoffs the next two seasons knowing the teardown we're likely to see leading up to the deadline. Losing Romani for the duration didn't help their chances either.

J.LeBlanc is the D. Andrew has played centre, maybe 50-50 actually; and I thought pretty well in games this season.

Then why did you say that 16 and 18 are our only true centres then say that 18 is the D?

Because no one has committed to him (A.LeBlanc) as a full-time centre; and the battalion use Procyszyn, Pazii/Laird/LeBlanc, Carey, Richter as their four centres.
(Jacob)LeBlanc is a defenceman. Andrew is LW/C. …18 & 16 are the ages of the true centres I was referring to.
