In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerI am so sick of losing to London and that @$$hat Hunter that I could puke. Want to make a statement that this team is a legit contender? There's our opportunity. Let's go run these guys out of the rink right from the opening faceoff and deliver a statement win...Going to be an exciting weekend. We definitely need to win Friday against the Gens, and going to OT with London would be nice.

Let's not forget about Oshawa!

In all fairness, Oshawa is very forgettable….
Some big news today.
MacKenzie is on the roster as the starter this evening vs Oshawa.
I suspect he wouldn't get back to back starts... but then again nothing surprises me anymore with the goaltending starts this year.
Absolutely we need him healthy. He's our wildcard in the playoffs. O7r stellar defensive stats in the first 30 games or so was in large part due to Mac. Would be very surprised if he plays against London.If I had to guess, a higher priority is placed on tonight’s game. However, if you are going to bring a goaltender back from injury, Oshawa is a less difficult opponent. It may make sense to give him this start from that perspective as well.
Regardless, let’s hope he shows no significant rust and is not playing tentative in any way. We need him to remain healthy at this point. Further down time could get more serious.
The Petes are a tough example. The Petes, in general, learned how to play. It wasn’t until the first round series against Sudbury where it looked like they finally had confidence. It wasn’t like that team ever dramatically needed to change its lines.All too often teams over value games this time of year. For Ottawa securely in a playoff position the emphasis needs to be getting every one healthy and establishing 3 solid lines. Riding the top line to victories does nothing for the group as a whole.
Games against Oshawa and other teams ahead of them in the standings is about educating themselves about what each does, how they adjust to Ottawa's play and game planning for how to beat them in playoffs.
The Petes last year didn’t out skill Ottawa, in fact Ottawa won the last 3 regular season games. The Petes figured out how to play to beat them.
OHL is always slow to update their standings - does this jump us into fourth?
