Peterborough Petes 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Wolf on a Wire]

That seems plausible, but it appears as though 7 of the Petes forwards see 18-22 minutes TOI each game.

But who is race car #8 and 9? Of the seven you mention, where is the split between 18-22? Sitting in the garage 4 more minutes than than race cars getting most TOI may cause some friction in the pistons.

Meelee & Dubois. Purdeller and/or LeFebvre get more opportunity when there is injury or sickness.
I doubt the friction over a few minutes. There are 7 players getting top six minutes plus a few more for the most effective that night.

Thanks for the insight, I don’t pay that much attention but always felt for the Pete’s to have long term success in the playoffs every player would have to accept their assigned role and play for the team and not themselves. From what you report, this is happening.

Here is the top 7 in bold. The third line is rolled consistently like lines 1 and 2 with Melee and Dubois being relied upon on the PK units as well. It is a very solid rotation of EV, PP and PK the Petes have and time is definitely found to mix and match as well as get ice time

Avon-Robertson-Lockhart
Othmann-Beck-Hayes
Melee-Dubois-Stillman
Pagé-Lefebvre-Purdeller

6-9-1 on the season against the top three teams in each conference. Wins and losses don’t tell the whole story of course but a significant losing record against the top 6 teams, on the surface, wouldn’t suggest the Petes take those games any more serious than others.

I know you are trying to find a silver lining and of course overall effort regardless of outcome is definitely a silver lining but that needs to translate into wins at some point. Petes are getting close to the playoffs and have three big games remaining on the schedule. They gotta bury the weaker teams and win at least two of those bigger games heading into the playoffs. They have to position themselves mentally to get into a head space that suggestst hey are with the top 3 and not part of the second pack.

You seem so concern with the Petes why is this? Lol

Just my preference, I would have Meelee-Beck together

I agree and since the deadline I wish we would stick with these lines:
Avon-Robertson-Lockhart
Melee-Beck-Hayes
Othmann-Dubois Stillman

That lengthens things a lot more and thats three scary lines, which no team can do

I have an affinity with the colour purple….

Haven't seen the Petes play since they acquired Avery Hayes. Tough to judge a 20-year-old solely on numbers.

Know he was in the Leafs' development after last year's Memorial Cup run.

How has he fit and does he get a training camp invite this summer?

Avery Hayes in my opinion is the best among all of the acquisitions that the Petes made this season. He is always an offensive threat when on the ice and plays a smart game. Small but savvy. I really think that the line of Beck, Othmann and Hayes is starting to get it together. One more comment in the Petes recent loss to Kingston in overtime on Thursday night while playing 3 0n 3 Hayes was out with Stillman, that I didn't understand as Stillman's offensive ability is very limited.

Lol its maroon

Maybe that’s why I have a love hate relationship…..

With Hamilton's win against Ottawa today, the Bulldogs leapfrog the Petes in the standings and now sit in 4th, with the Petes now in 5th. 63 games played for Hamilton and only 61 for Peterborough

The OHL referees are aweful zero control in games . Malliuox for London turns his stick over slashes a Battalion player on break away empty net no call ? 3 fight occur seconds after.

On that, we can agree. The officiating may be about the worst I’ve seen across the league in decades. Almost like they make calls based on knowing they have replays available to “get it right.” I can’t count how many times this season we’ve seen 5 minute majors called on silly plays and then them being reduced to 2 minute minors. It is like by default they call the Major and let the replay reduce it. The only problem is, if the replays aren’t all that great, they don’t get reduced Leaving these 5 minute majors on The board.

I’d like for the plays to be called accurately so replays are great in that regard but it seems like they are being used as crutch, not a safety net.

The Petes are trying to play playoff style hockey - give up few goals and score enough to win.
Sadly it's not working all of the time and it has hurt @NorthernVoice in his battle against @OMG67.

Here is where we are at with 2 weeks left.....

North Bay 99 goals with 5 games left
67s 96 goals with 5 games left
Petes 89 goals with 7 games left (including 1 game vs NB and 2 games vs 67s)

Thats a really interesting spinzone that lets the offence off the hook big time imo. The team relies on shots from the outside far to often which ends upwith a lot of shots but very few good ones. Calling hat playoff hockey isnt true

I believe the Petes should be working towards better scoring chances too.
The offence never really did take a lot of risk though, you could say the Petes have attempted to play playoff hockey all season.

 

[Bra Wavers]

No Avon, No Spearing, No Dubois

It's odd not knowing what's up with these key players not playing. Why is the team so tight with information?

The Petes have teh skill to score goals based on their skill. They also have teh age/size to score goals based on that. For some reason they dont double down on either. Dont know what there offensive identity is really

Maybe they should give mccallum so more ice every time he’s on something happens

Twice this season the Attack has had 5min major and game misconducts called. Both cases they were overturned, the next week !
Both could /would have had major implications in the games outcome.

Petes had one stretch where 2 tgames in a row they got a 5 minte PP for a slewfoot and neither one actually was and got overturned. THen the next game i think we got a 5 minute PP that they ocerturned the next game

5-2 win tonight worked hard sztuska was great .

 

[Zebra]

Maybe we should start Sztuska against North Bay

NB knows Michael Simpson but they don’t know Sztuska
