I seen Simpson before game .. didn't appear anything wrong .. it was his Birthday also yesterday .. maybe just a day off present

Kitchener fired their head coach today.

I honestly think he is burnt out and needs a reprieve.

We have run him into the ground

I would rest him the rest of the weekend. Give Sztuska Hamilton and Rye OHL debut Sunday vs Guelph or go Sztuska back to back

Can’t really gamble a game by starting the 16 year old 3rd string goalie with where we’re at in standings.

Then go with Sztuska back to back. Need Simpson healthy with nothing lingering

Sztuska has been good enough where if the team plays well they should beat Hamilton and Guelph with him in net

 

[Section5Petes]

Rob Wilson on Hometown PTBO with Pete Dalliday. This past Monday, all the players went out to Wilson's house for some team bonding

 

[Bra Wavers]

same lineup today.......maybe Page slides in for McCue after warmup?
Simpson backing up Sztuska.......he will likely get the start at home tomorrow afternoon vs Guelph

Hamilton got thrashed by Kitchener last night.......
Hope the Petes can get up early and then crush their will to fight back at all.

Lol

Agree

 

[snipes29]

Lol being out worked again by lesser team ? Again stupid penalties hurt this team and Wilson does nothing? What a joke

 

[Section7fan]

Soft goals are killing this team.

 

[NorthernVoice]

What does it say that Lardis and Panwar are superstars for Hamilton and Hayes and White are "fine" for Peterborough?

Look behind the bench?

 

[User13452]

This team should be competing for at least third place but instead they’ll be fighting for home ice and could possibly only be 6 points ahead of the 8th place team after today which is just sad. It’s too late to fire Wilson but this team needs a wake up call big time

 

[Section5Petes]

This is the Peterborough Petes. We have to come to that reality. Way underperforming based off talent but this is who they are

Wait until next year they’ll be lucky to win 15 games

I will say, as a Hamilton fan, it's so situational. They are playing so much here. More specifically....

1. White was always his best playing behind Staois. Less is more with him. Great skater, lost in his own end.

2. I love Hayes. Just need to find the right C for him. Him and Morrison were money. That's the OA package deal I would have wanted.

The more you watch White, the more you say wtf.

Trading Lardis and Van Volsen and then falling this flat probably assures that if this team doesn't make the conference final at minimum (which is hard to see at this point), coach and GM should both be gone.

 

[Zebra]

We just need to settle down here folks

The third period is going be a great comeback !

Quoting you but this question is mostly for Petes fans... Has Hayes played with any centre but Beck? When everyone got here it was Othmann-Beck-Hayes which doesn't work and now it's Melee-Beck-Hayes.

I know it's limited a bit by Robertson/Beck being the obvious top two centres and Hayes being a top line player (and Robertson having existing chemistry with Avon and Lockhart) but maybe it's time to move Avon back to centre or give Hayes a shot with Robertson.

Wilson’s gone that’s pretty much already decided (barring a miracle playoff run) Oke should be but won’t the board of directors love him his job will be safe if I had to put money on it

Othmann, Robertson and Hayes was a line from the London game until the Kingston game (4 games). Hayes had 8 points, Othmann had 5, Robertson 10.

No one seems to be able to do much unless they're playing with Robertson.

I’m curious if the push to go wild at the deadline came from higher than Oke because Oke has never been one to mortgage the future and has always been vocal about only completing big trades that help now and in the future.

You think Dave Pogue, Dave Lorentz, Rod McGillis etc were telling them to go all in? It's possible but I think Oke and Wilson collectively decided this.

And going all in was not a bad thing at all especially acquiring the names we did, its just tainted right now because of this current play
