Peterborough Petes 2023-24 Season Thread (Part Three)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Absolutely stunningly stupid but again...

Verner worked all summer with Rye and Johnston.
“Easton had to go anywhere and everywhere to get ice-time and whether they loved it or not I certainly appreciate the fact he did whatever he could to get games in and be around us as much as possible. There’s a certain amount of loyalty that comes with that,” said Verner. “We’ll give Easton every chance to prove himself here in Peterborough.”
I don’t get the he had to go anywhere and everywhere to get ice time part. It’s not like there wasn’t ice and skates everyday in ptbo. Was it just there was other goalies at these skates who were better? Confused by that part where was he driving to get ice time lol

Mistake imo cutting DLS but not surprised they’d keep 2 Peterborough goalies ahead of him. Would have liked to see him in an exhibition game at least. Verner staying loyal to his ptbo guys not a shock.
Look how well the local loyalty worked for Dave Reid. I can appreciate Rye and Johnston putting in work and sucking up to the coaches but the best player available needs to be taken over the local kids.

Is he referring to last season maybe? He played games for other teams or backed up other teams.
 
Hello everyone, I attended afternoon scrimmages and the maroon and white game I’ll add my thoughts On players

Fitzgerald is a beast , hard to find much fault , love his compete and his feistyness for a kid so young and fearless will take abuse in front of the net! Beautiful pick

McCallum love the fiery compete, good player , fun to watch , love the squirrely edge

Taylor I really think could take a big leap this year and a nice breakout season in the cards…has great offensive tools, I think I read above sometimes he loses focus or lackadaisical on a backcheck and I hope that attitude is just in scrimmages with the boys
Overagers other then Melee who they will clearly keep and should I am worried about.
I don’t know if they offer much other then 3rd line checking ability….Lefebvre, McIntyre
And I agree with above comments above about Quinn Binnie. Infact, it’s a great mystery how and why he is in the camp.
Perhaps trade the goalie and try and get a overage forward who can atleast contribute offensively and lead…
As some of the young guys I know their defence is crowded I really like what I’ve seen from Marrentette and Genc Ulic
Liam Ladds looks good and Gowan displays some nice talent made a heck of a nice breakaway pass at the game yesterday nice vision
One guy that got cut that I would of gave a bit longer look and better then some they have kept longer would be Aiden Al Joundy
Liked his offensive IQ , plays a smart game
 
Also want to add im
Sure he will make the team and good enough to be on it but man Faulkner needs to work on his speed he had bunch of breakaways where the defencemen would always catch up or he would get a Mickey Mouse shot off…
As for my overager post , not knocking lefebvre or McIntyre I just don’t know how you can keep both. They both play a checking game with limited upside offensively
Melee, McCallum are gonna need support with less pressure on Fitzgerald being so young this is a very young team get an overager that can help fill the net and contribute offensively
I don’t have much confidence in McIntyre or lefebvre filling any net
We shall see….keep whichever one can lead better or better with young kids maybe lean to lefebvre with his playoff championship experience with Petes

Maybe the Petes get a F in return for Sztuska when they deal him… I still think he’s going to end up in London just like simmer did.

Mason Johnston signed, DLS cut.

Training camp is utterly meaningless. Future Petes walk ons take note.

The Turcotte thing is even more baffling.

We're really going to lose Turcotte so we can sign Ben Sherwin?
