Peterborough Petes 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 2)

[Generalsupdates]

Stillman's suspension of 3 games seems excessive. Is that normal for an instigator.? But he should have held back a bit earlier in the "fight" but he kept going at the London player. Which is probably the rationale for the three games.

No judgement call from the league involved here. Instigating in the final 5 minutes is auto 2 games (been given 4 times this season) and removing the opponents helmet in a fight misconduct is auto 1 game (been given 2 times this season). I agree with those above tho, get rid of the automatic suspensions. Base each incident independently based on intent/outcome not just a blanket decision

 

[Wolfman Jack]

There wasn't "no call" Leonard got a cross checking penalty

After the fact. The arm took a long time to come up lets just say Otto.

Arm certainly should have gone up earlier, but Stillman wouldn't have known when the arm went up as his back was turned

Sure but I am not wrong

Cool beans bro. I look forward to watching the beat down on Thursday.

 

[OMG67]

Good for Panwar. Maybe if he played like that when he was with the Petes, he might still be here. Good kid, and again good for him. He had something to prove and he did it.

Maybe he wasn’t a 4th line centre after all?

To be fair Panwar was on the Petes third line. But I always liked him on the Petes, was a valuable player, good skater and unselfish.

 

[Section5Petes]

Yeah Panwar was never bad on the Petes. He just never showed this type of offensive capabilities and ability to control the game. The argument was to get impact OA’s and we did that. Whether Panwar (and even Lardis) took off like this or not, I don’t care and it doesn’t matter because when we needed them most to do this, they didn’t perform

I agreed but that was when many posters were placing him on the 4th line and didn’t want to get rid of him. I am ok with a 3rd line OA.

I think much of the issue wasn’t with Panwar, it was witht he inconsistency throughout the lineup. A lot of line juggling.

But, we have to remember that he is also now getting first line minutes. Donovan is turning out to be a very good contributor winger with him and Lardis in Hamilton. I’m not overly surprised at the success but I am surprised int eh level of points production, especially against good teams. I think over time we will see him settle down to around a point per game. This is likely just a hot streak on his part.

He wouldn’t have gotten the kind of ice required to satisfy this type of point production in Peterborough.

Donovan is a dman not a winger. Patrick Thomas is on the wing and is low key performing very well.

Yes, in the second half

 

[Square Corners]

Yes, in the second half

[Section5Petes]

Well who plays Niagara the most? Theres your answer lol

Petes play the IceDogs 3 more times, North Bay and Ottawa 2 more

 

[Section5Petes]

Petes gameday! The last time the IceDogs were at the PMC the Petes won 8-1 in front of a near sellout crowd of 3862 on January 14th!

In a wild twist, the Gens (after selling) have more goals per game than both PBO and OTT lol. Although the Petes get to play Niagara tonight, so that will likely change after tonight

GPG 4.00
1 5 (KIT)
2 4 (ER)
3 2 (PBO)
4 2 (KGN)
5 9 (WSR)
6 2 (KGN)

Petes nearly got goalied again. They need to finish better. Still not completely in sync but they did have 65 shots.

Curious thought experiment I had tonight - the Petes are deep in the playoffs and are in a tie game, who are the top 4 D you want out (no bottom, this is meant to be a positive).

For me:

1. Zanetti - and his return obviously what sparked this. Just very good at both ends.
2. Mayer - the only other guy I think you can consider a real two way defenseman. Good offense, made the interception and pass that put tonight's game away for the Petes in his own end.
3. White - hopefully at some point he's top of this list and I thought he was really good tonight but full body of work in Peterborough this is a sell out for offense move with some risk.
4. McCoy - almost the opposite of White, he's not scoring or setting up the winning goal but they're likely not giving it up either. His plus- minus (bad stat generally but not necessarily for this scenario) would maybe say he should be higher.

 

[Newbie Observer]

If goaltending doesnt improve, this team will struggle. Hamilton and again tonight, simpson lets goal in from board side and again over his glove hand.

 

[snipes29]

Why is Mayer always on the first PP unit? I’m sorry but White is a lot better offensively.

Cause Wilson is a moron

Othmann Hatty baby!! Kid is heating up.

I'd have to agree......
I've been impressed with McCoy's play since the Xmas break - very composed when handling the puck and more consistent overall.
White is an absolute game changer - what a skater! He creates so many offensive chances and quickly puts the opposition on their heels when he has the puck.
Mayer is solid at both ends.....with White as an offensive weapon on the back end there is less pressure on Mayer to attack; he just needs to pick his spots.
Zanetti is rarely out of position and is an all-round great Dman.

Here's a question though.......If everyone is healthy do the Petes dress 7 Dmen for playoff games?

The 7th Dman and 12th Fwd won't be playing many minutes come playoff time but dressing a 7th Dman makes more sense IMO.
If there is penalty/injury trouble on the backend they don't lose too much by bumping Gauvreau into the top 6 and this saves the big ice-time Dmen from getting worn out if they are forced to go with 5 Dmen.
Also, all of these Dmen played in last years playoffs so they at least have some experience compared to the 4th line guys.

 

[NorthernVoice]

I think yes, they didn't bring in Gauvreau to sit in the press box and I can't imagine any of the others being a healthy scratch.

11/7 is becoming more common and on a top heavy forward team like this makes a lot of sense.

Maier isnt on the first unit. Hes on the second with Beck and Avon. However, if White has just come off a shift prior to the powerplay, Maeir would play on first unit as White would need a rest. Are you this hockey dumb not to realize this or are you just a Wilson hater? all your post are negative, Why do you even go to the games then if so disgruntled?
