I honestly think he is burnt out and needs a reprieve.I seen Simpson before game .. didn't appear anything wrong .. it was his Birthday also yesterday .. maybe just a day off present
I would rest him the rest of the weekend. Give Sztuska Hamilton and Rye OHL debut Sunday vs Guelph or go Sztuska back to backI honestly think he is burnt out and needs a reprieve.
We have run him into the ground
Can’t really gamble a game by starting the 16 year old 3rd string goalie with where we’re at in standings.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
Then go with Sztuska back to back. Need Simpson healthy with nothing lingeringCan’t really gamble a game by starting the 16 year old 3rd string goalie with where we’re at in standings.
Sztuska has been good enough where if the team plays well they should beat Hamilton and Guelph with him in netThen go with Sztuska back to back. Need Simpson healthy with nothing lingering
LolKitchener fired their head coach today.

Wait until next year they’ll be lucky to win 15 gamesThis is the Peterborough Petes. We have to come to that reality. Way underperforming based off talent but this is who they are
I will say, as a Hamilton fan, it's so situational. They are playing so much here. More specifically....What does it say that Lardis and Panwar are superstars for Hamilton and Hayes and White are "fine" for Peterborough?
Look behind the bench?
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.Wait until next year they’ll be lucky to win 15 games
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.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.
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 itTrading 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.

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.
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.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.
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.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.
