Peterborough Petes 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[User13452]

I thought the PP looked more effective last night as well. Cameron has really improved at walking the line and getting low shots through to the net, which in turn opens up some nice passing opportunities. He also working the "sling shot" zone entry better than most of our D in current memory (by which I mean he's not forcing the drop pass every. single. time. like so many do, if he sees the opportunity to carry it in himself, he's taking it). If he can continue these positive steps in his development, hopefully he can somewhat rebuild his NHL draft stock.

They are still rolling out the 1A/1B power plays so far but I wonder if at some point we see something like:

Unit A
Point - Cameron
Shooters/Side Wall - Taylor, Fitzgerald
Bumper - Young
Net Front - McCallum


Unit B
Point - Matejicek
Shooters/side wall - Melee, Bryant
Bumper - McIntyre
Net Front - Addy

----
but maybe that's largely me wanting to see what that Unit A would look like and then also having a safer veteran unit.


I noticed Crombie's celebration as well, I thought he might actually get an unsportsmanlike penalty but in typical OHL fashion, instead of calling the actual penalty, the referee went over to him and told him not to do it again... I thought the officiating was worse than usual in general last night (Reid, so no shocker) but not in either team's direction or any way that impacted the outcome of the game.

Officiating was equal. If they reviewed Parish’s hit he would have got 5 and a game for a clear elbow to the head

Wonder what the condition is. Interesting for Brampton I thought they’d aim higher for a OA but maybe this is just until the deadline I know they’ve been dealing with a lot of guys in and out of the lineup probably needed a body and will see how he fits first

Him playing a game for Brampton

The problem I have is they made a panic move in a nothing season to bring Bryant in when they could have kept those picks they gave up to get him and kept Lefebvre.

I guess we’re accepting a loss before the game even starts tonight.

Bowen kept you guys in the other games we played this year. However it is junior hockey so anything can happen. Realistically Kingston should win by 3-4 minimum

I’ve basically assumed that for 21 games now hard not too lol

True lol expect a loss every game. If they win then it’s always nice to get surprised

I’m sure the starting goalie selection fired the boys right up. Great way to motivate this group. So happy we kept this brick wall over Lee-Stack.
