Peterborough Petes 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Section5Petes]

Any Petes suspensions anticipated?

I would hope nobody would be suspended after last night but you never know with OHL Officiating

 

[Fastpace]

Pete's hockey team has shown their fans some great times in the past. With fans patience, those times are coming back to Pete's hockey land again. Give it some time.

Was on Taylor, but the saddest part of that is that it was like 2 inches in front of the ref.

No idea how they managed to talk themselves into a match penalty on McCallum but that was pretty brutal, guess they couldn't let him finish the game, would have risked him beating them in the shootout again.

Elbow to the head will be called a 5 everytime and let’s be honest McCallum doesn’t have a great rep with officials in the league between him and his brother I’m not saying that should factor into the decision to call it a 5 but he plays on the edge so anything close they may lean 5 and a game but from the replays it looked like a clear elbow to the head.

No McCallum tonight. This league is something else...

I don't think anyone was worried about it going to a shootout last night.

It wasn't even called a penalty initially on the ice. How does that hit end up in a major penalty/5 minute Knights power play and Wooley's brutal hit on Cameron.... also results in a Knights power play!

Woolley threw a big clean hit versus the Petes player getting his arm up into the head on his hit. Probably why one was a 2 game suspension and the other wasn't.

McCallum doesn't come up higher with the elbow than would with any normal hit, Nurmi is head down, turning, staring at the puck. From my view in person, it looked fine, watching the broadcast back one angle looks like it could have been high and the other doesn't to me.

But I guess as we know from the last WJC that Canadian players aren't allowed to hit non-Canadians when they turn (Celebrini) but the non-Canadians can when they "turn" (Beck). (this sentence is 95% sarcasm)

I don't think anyone was worried about it going to a shootout last night.

No one was last season in London either. It wasn't last night but it would have been hilarious.

The game was already 2-0 and it felt like your guy was trying to get some momentum back when he threw the hit.

I don't know if it deserved a 2 game suspension but a player on the Knights just got 4 games for a hit from behind while other hits from behind have been getting 1 or 2. So I don't know what's going on with the suspensions sometimes.

I didn't realize that was an issue, but can't really deny it could have helped do that.

If I'm not mistaken, the two games is automatic for when it's called a major head check.
Speaking of variance in suspensions, though, McIntyre gets suspended for a slew foot without using his foot, but Barlow blatantly (with the stretch back of the leg before the kick forward) slew footing Partridge in Oshawa at center ice, and it's not even called a penalty.

Because one team was the Peterborough Petes and the other was the London Knights. We all know the league always favours the Knights in most situations.

Getting absolutely dominated in the third

Getting absolutely dominated in the third

And quite frankly a good chunk of the entire game

That’s fair could be a lot worse Johnston made some big saves although I’m sure he’d like that third one back

 

[Ryan Christensen]

Johnston was great that third goal probably was fatigue
