Ontario Reign 22-23 thread. Nothin' lasts forever, even cold November Reign

[funky]

toying with the idea of driving to ONT for tonights game...tickets at window easy enough? assuming they arent selling out regularly?

I bought tickets two weeks ago at the window. Only half the arena was filled. I checked online at the available seating first.

Hard to tell if it will be tougher or easier being a weekend because of the holidays, but I agree should be fine, check online first

went to the game...got two tickets in lower bowl for $25 a pop and ended up in 5th row. Was close, tight checking game Reign were on the wrong end of. The instigator to Moverare was the weakest call ever given the AZ player dropped his gloves first and started throwing.

Byfield has a skill of being able to bring the puck into the zone at will...problem last night was he(and others on the Reign) were very hesitant to drive the puck to the net. They were content to try and play a perimeter game. You can see the size and skill....but would have liked to see Byfield be stronger up the middle and more net drive.

Was a super close game....cant fault Reign per se- they just couldnt net the GT goal. Spence & Bjornfot both NHL level players....they are logging tons of ice time and both make great puck decisions. Teams play again tonight at 3pm so ONT has a chance at redemption. Other than the loss- Reign games are cheap affordable and fun game day experience.

Haven't gone to a game in a couple years, but always enjoyed it. Definitely got to make it out sometime this year

MoMo may be out a game or two.

He's playing tonight.

He's playing tonight.

And they called up Allard instead?

f***ing Blake man. I'm starting to get really obnoxiously annoyed.

Byfield goal was even better today

Seems like the 2 kids are heating up which is obviously great to see. I pray to the Old Gods and the New that they keep Turcotte uninjured because when healthy he's the type of player LA could really use in the future.

Well for once they're actually playing the top prospects in the roles they're expected to have at the NHL level. Imagine 2/3 of your first line and power play one unit being comprised of career AHL players. Absolutely idiotic that's what was done last season.

Surprise, blue chippers being played as blue chippers instead of bottom sixers with no PP time are starting to show out

If only there were some way we could have imagined this wacky scenario

I cannot believe what I am about to say.

Vilalta is having incredible game today…

Looks like Byfield and Turcotte are starting to feel like themselves again and love that they're playing with each other

Skill guys need skill guys, I don't see why that's so controversial around here

People forget that in his short stint with the big club last season, Turc was a corsi machine on the Dustin Brown line FFS. He's a perfect compliment for any line.

Do we know why Doty isn’t playing? Samuel is not the team enforcer.

It was Nate Thompson tonight.

He’s a difference maker

He is injured and will have surgery

 

[Mcsorley47]

Ok good, because I didn’t want to hear Blake sitting him out because he thought he wasn’t needed.

 

[ru4reals]

Another monster game by QB and AT. Really pulling for these two.

 

[Statto]

QB 7 pts in his last 4 games, it’s almost as if he needed a few games to get his strength back. That finish on the pp was nasty and the fact he even tried it says a lot. Great to see Turcotte finding his game too.

 

[Schrute farms]

I think Maddon was more excited for Turc scoring than Turc was lol. Great to see with his teammates.

Heck of a goal. Hard NHL level shot. But also with great placement. Good things happen when you don't shoot into boards or the goalie's chest. He clearly has high NHL talent & skills. Just the big "if" on staying healthy.

Once QB is back to 100% from his illness and weight loss, dude needs to be up and 3C. Although, i don't want to see him rushed back before he's 100% and ready for 15+ minutes and the daily grind.
