I thought Petro looked good back there and Ethier also looked good. Not only was this a 3 in 3 but a tough one. Bus to Erie on Wed play Thurs,bus to St Kitts on Fri play then bus home and play an always tough Storm team at home.
Ethier is a really interesting player to me. We haven't gotten to see him much but he skates well and seems pretty comfortable handling the puck. In the pre-season he showed off a pretty good looking shot too. At 6 foot and 187lbs he's not small either. I'm really intrigued with what he can do next year when there will be some more opportunities.
I liked what he did last night.
Maybe Gabriel Smith gets a game this week with Sam out .

That would be nice to see as well. Gives Sedley a few extra days to rest and heal while getting Smith a turn to see some game action. They have some extra bodies on the back end so it would seem wise to not rush Sedley back and have him healthy for the stretch run.

I could be wrong but I think the suspension was for being over the fight limit which has an automatic 2 game suspension which would explain why it was posted so quick. That was McGuire's 6th fight on the season. The media release wasn't exactly clear but I don't think it had anything to do with the hit.
Teams have the opportunity to appeal to the league if they feel there should have been one applied to prevent suspension. I think in this case it was a good non call. The fight didn't happen immediately after the hit but a few seconds later after play had continued and both combatants squared up. Nobody was truly "instigated upon" in this scenario i don't think.
Yes it was reported by Mark McKelvie , 2 games for exceeding fight limit
I watched that game. McGuire dropped his gloves before Hookey.
Ahhh, they didn't show it on the replay, just assumed the other player instigated since it was after a McGuire hit. Thanks for clarifying.
sIm sure i saw mcguires gloves fall just as the reply stopped, before hookey, but thats what i saw. but if they didnt show anything on the reply (i disagree but dont care enough to argue) how could you be so sure either way.
I agree with the above poster, the Ethier kid played ok. But something that bugs me, and alot of coaches do it, is when you put a kid on the ice who has played 3 games, why put him out with the 4th line? Don't you want to insulate him a little. As i predicted, you guys were fortunate to beat two bottom feeders, but came up short against a good team. Half in at this point is what it looks like to me. No good half inor half out

What I meant was that the camera on the replay did not show the start of the fight or how it transpired at all. I was not arguing.
Edited as you're also talking about the video viewing. I didn't catch it but easily could've missed it.
ethier is a defenceman? he didnt play on the 4th line, he played 3rd line d but was mixed and matched with vets. according to instat he played just under 9 minutes, his most common partner was steen and jordan.
He was paired with a veteran d man, of course they have 6 d. Thanks for letting me know that, great information! I meant playing with the 4th F line. Why not insulate him and play him with the top 1 or 2 lines.
huh? you mentioned ethier and a rookie who has played 3 games then playing on the 4th line?????
are you talking about another rookie, you only mentioned one in your post? the attack dont have any other rookies who have only played 3 games.
I said you put him out with the 4 th line, as in he is playing defense with his d partnert, while the 4th line on the ice with him, totalling 5 players. 3 of which are the 4th line. not that hard to understand is it? Just if I was a coach, I would do more to set the kid who has played 3 game up to succeed
ok then, if thats the angle your going at, are you sure that happened all the time, i have the data, and im not sure that it says that.
go ahead and look at the data, i have it too, we can compare, but i'm sure the trade deadline is so close your employer will be looking for your opinion on possible trades instead of you combing the chat rooms with idiots like me
