North Bay Battalion 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[The Green Tank]

You got a good one in Adam Dennis!

I agree LDN. Hopefully he sticks around for a while. I believe he is under contract for another 3-4 years. He completely turned the franchise around.

I think he is well respected in the league

Just off what he’s done this year with the rebuild and the trades… amazing. The guy can also pick a star goalie like no one else, DiVincentiis, McIvor, Lisson…. We’re lucky to have him!!!

Great game against the bulldogs, looked like a win until JT stopped paying attention on the powerplay, quit skating, let Brantford get in our zone to the puck, then got pissed off threw a hit and a cross check took a penalty and lost us the game. How this kid keeps getting PP1 time over the rookies is beyond me. One of the best skaters on the team yet looks like a turtle the MINUTE the puck leaves the offensive zone. Manzo looking good tonight, Vaughan with a nice goal, Carey with pep in his step disturbing the peace as usual. Carey/Cali/Vaughan/Moses/Greer PP1 going to look amazing in 2026

Moses?!? Laziest guy on the team.

Moses?!? Laziest guy on the team.

It’s something he needs to work on, but I do find his skating style and physical build makes him look slower than he actually is. For me it’s the consistency that’s the issue. Personally I’m most excited about Vaughan and Greer. I think Greer in a higher role will be a point per game Dman, and although he’s small he’s got a high hockey IQ and still shuts down plays. Only 16 so maybe he will grow and put on some weight. Next years team should look a little more polished. Powerplay needs major adjustment though

Moses?!? Laziest guy on the team.

He certainly wasn't playing like that in the prospects game. So he does have the ability to step up. Coaches should be addressing this.

JT6 healthy scratch???

 

[190 is almost 206]

JT6 healthy scratch???

Looks like Therrien, Laird and Enright, all of whom took emotional penalties in the 3rd last night. Sending a message that needs to be sent

JT needs it, and a lot more of it. Enright/Laird would’ve been valuable in this game…. Oh well

Is this new?? A 2 game suspension is that game +1

* – length of suspensions where players have been ejected prior to the 10:00 mark of the second period are assigned with time served in the game of occurrence being given consideration upon determination.

JL18 should have his ice time cut in half. Always out of position

Greer continues to prove he should be on the top pairing and PP1…. Another goal and generating more offense than anyone else on the blue line. Vaughan and Carey look good again too, Carey needs more ice time.

Great comeback, great win, great game! Hell of game by Pazii

 

[190 is almost 206]

Great game all around and the icing on the cake is seeing Brantford putting a beating on the powerful Wolves down Hwy 17

 

[Samee987]

Reyth Smith scored 27 goals last year as a 16 yr old in Potown.....how?? Major disappointment this season along with Pazii.

How come #18 & #27 never rotate out of the lineup?? p.s. Princeton called, they said they don't want you now!

I don’t think you can say Pazii is a disappointment, he missed most of the year with injury and he is one of our best play drivers. He’s not a goal scorer, he’s a playmaker. We need finishers, which we don’t have. Pazii with a goal scorer would be a very dangerous player. He’s one of the hardest working guys on the team and one of the best sets of hands. I agree with you on Smith though, hasn’t translated well to the OHL.
