Will Clayton be back for tonight's game? Anyone know?

WJ

He’s not listed on the scoresheet so I’m saying no.

north bay lineup posted with no #6JT not listed. Wonder if he is healthy scratch after bonehead play last night

As mediocre as Walton has been lately, pharand just continues to be so much worse. How is he am NHL pick...

Does Sudbury know how to play hockey without trying to take out the goalie?

He wasn't in the crease and got tripped by the defenceman. What game are you watching? No idea what they are even reviewing and how he got a penalty there. Garbage reffing as per usual.

Does Sudbury know how to play hockey without trying to take out the goalie?

Does North Bay know how to play without diving? Some questions we'll never find out.

 

[djscooter]

watched the wolves run McIvor multiple times this year. Must not be able to practice crossovers at the rink, bad ice from all the cameras shooting bad tv shows

Maybe ask the North Bay defenders why they hate their goalie? Mind you asking them to skate and turn at the same time is already a big ask for some of them.

Feels good to experience a win again. Really liked our bottom 6 forwards tonight, they played really hard and fast! Nice to see DiGi using his body tonight.
O’Dell is really solid and an unassuming DMan. The guy Eats pucks. Zili#16 is smart but I think we have better PK options. I like him more and more each time out. Congrats on 1st OHL goal. Blonda can fly and is a treat to watch.
Only when it looked like NBay gave up was Delic line productive. Shift length was often too long and I tense up when they play in own end. Circles and lost coverage. For once i’d like to see #22 be the first back checker on this line. No intent or interest in back pressure. Overall this line needs to limit turnovers and win some puck battles. They absolutely need to focus on keeping a high forward in Ozone to support D.
Harsh? Yes. But if they can some how play some D Ill forgive all the turnovers in the OZone.
Big win! Villy is a beauty. Musty has sick edges and smooth mits..

Hopefully we can get this same level of play against some contenders soon, always fun to put up 8 regardless.

The trick now is score 8 against NBay Friday night and go back to playing shut down D on Sunday afternoon.
Overall our D game was better last night. When we keep overall shots in mid 20s the kids have done their job.
With Clayton back any day now, it’s nice to see some depth in the lineup. 4pt game on Sunday. Huge Game.

Papineau has built this team to be a contender against the bottom four sadly. The team jells when things are going right as seen in Villys play last night. What concerns me is when we are down team and coaching staff go into panic mode. Team has to accept the fact we are finishing 6th or 7th at best and playing everyone is a must to gain confidence with all the players going forward. Coaching staff cannot allow individual players to finish out this season with padding their stats. The potential for a first round upset are there, let’s hope preparation is there to.

And with only 4 games again teams not in the playoffs. we likely need to go 17-6 to have a chance at home ice.

Tomorrow and Friday are both 4 point games. If we lose both Brantford ends up 13 points clear of us, if we win both we close to 5 points.

We also will see what happens tonight, Kingston, Oshawa, Barrie and Niagara all in action tonight. Barrie has had quite a few 3 point games lately which doesn't help.

It looked like the boys did not have much energy throughout most of the game. It is troubling that the players were winded after getting a full week off. On top of that, Musty and Walton were looking like they didn't want to be there! At least it seems like they figured it out. Here's hoping they keep going.

I think the energy was fine last night. I think the wolves peaked early in in the year , now most have caught up and passed us in the standings. Think NB was missing players last night? The game was close for the most part

Like last season trade deadline, accusations made, has not improved the team. To add they lost draft capital. Multiple 2nd round pics, again

I think it's time to have new set of eyes from the GM's position.

Lastly, however the season ends, the should move Walton, Pharhand, in the off season and make Villeneuve the team captain.

Fun player to watch. Can play in any situation, plays hard, brings it every game, and scores. No brainer for team captain next season. Give Coughlan an A.
