Peterborough Petes 2023-24 Season Thread (Part One)

[Bra Wavers]

Great game by Sztuska - saved 40 of 44
Nice having Beck and Smith back in the lineup. The chemistry will come.

The Wolves looked good last night and will only get better when Musty returns.

There goes our perfect season!

Now a week off - enjoy Thanksgiving then get ready for Michael Simpson and the Knights, coming to town next Thursday.

Smith didn't play, he just sat on the bench the whole game. Why do the Petes dress guys that obviously aren't able to play/not have 18 skaters who actually can play.

They only have 18 skaters available to them at the moment with Quention Page suspended and Liam Ladds and Konnor Smith injured.

Pulled the old "Shawn Spearing" dress and not play move......too bad it didn't work.

What happened to Nathan Leek? And don't we have affiliates available?

What happened to Nathan Leek? And don't we have affiliates available?

What I believe it comes down to is not wanting to use/waste player cards on players until the player picture is a bit more clear. Depending on some trades which may end up netting 2-4 new players coming back (including '06's and '07's), the team wants to make sure they have the space. With Beck, Pagé and Smith now back, one of Faulkner, Cadorin, Binnie, Partridge would have to sit as well. Also NHL/AHL Camps are still taking place and you never know which Petes could still be sent back (Robertson, Avon, Stillman) even if the chances are slim.

Why are the Petes ranked so low in the OHL Power rankings? They dominated Ottawa and now have Beck and Smith in the lineup.

Look at the Petes lineup, there's some solid players. I have a hard time believing they are the 16th best OHL team on paper.

does it really matter that much?

 

[Section5Petes]

With Quinton Pagé officially back from his suspension, lines could look something like this for Thursday's game against the Knights:

23 Jonathan Melee	26 Jax Dubois	29 Braydon McCallum
14 Quinton Pagé	16 Owen Beck	18 Connor Lockhart
12 Sam McCue	7 Chase Lefebvre	20 Tommy Purdeller
28 Brennan Faulkner	11 Brody Partridge	9 Joseph Cadorin

2 Samuel Mayer	15 Carson Cameron
6 Konnor Smith	25 Brayden Velliaris
24 Dylan Woulds	19 Donovan McCoy

it will be a nice change, dressing a full lineup of players AND playing them all!
I do hope Gaudreau to Flint happens soon to clear up the OA situation.

There full now with Kressler back

Totally doesn’t matter -
I don’t think we were ranked in 2023 either and we all know how that ended

power rankings are generally forecasts based on what is now expected.
The Petes are up from pre-season even though losing to the wolves down from pre-season. I think the Petes started low as most expected the Petes to re-tool. And most probably still expect the Petes to re-tool.

Look at the Petes lineup, there's some solid players. I have a hard time believing they are the 16th best OHL team on paper.

I’d be shocked if we don’t see Bowen given the opportunity to start against his former team and face off head to head against Simpson.

Flint no longer has room for any additional overages. As overage player, Braeden Kessler was been assigned to them by the Toronto Maple Leafs. The only teams looking for overages are Brantford, Sarnia and Ottawa.

I’m curious regarding Beck. Is that the pseudo top line? Why wasn’t he give the C? I think he’ll be considered for captain Canada at the WJC.

That combination of the top two lines was how the Petes posted it last week with Beck but he was the starting line and is the #1 centre. Beck, Lockhart and Mayer have an 'A'

 

[nelli27]

I'm back... Go Petes!

 

[nelli27]

I'm back... Go Petes!

Take a hike... Go Knights! Sibling rivalry.

My fave Petes fan -easily the cutest too

[armchaircoaches]

Terrible reffing

 

[dirty12]

Terrible reffing

Yeah.
Great interference by Simpson to draw the goalie interference penalty on Melee though.

 

[LDN]

Pete’s still got it

Like seriously a very tight game
