I don’t mess with OS from December to March but from Flint even the drive to OS is good. Like 3 1/2-4 hours running up the coast with a couple great stops on the way. Then you get there and so far, it’s my favorite road game in the O. Love the town and the arena. Probably my second favorite road arena next to WFCU at this point.
Erie? Really? Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I remember a fan bus trip for a pair of weekend games in Erie and most of the Windsor fans were kicked out of the arena and waiting at the fan bus when the game ended on the 2nd night because the arena staff were all crooked. The only thing open downtown besides a pizza hut filled with homeless mental patients wearing tinfoil hats was an adult video store that had those booths in the back where you could watch a movie if you put some quarters in. Maybe it's not such a depressing post apocalyptic wasteland populated by morlocks now, but I won't bother going back to see. Scenic drive though I don't remember much of it because two girls got drunk and had a hair pulling fight that landed on top of me and sort of distracted from what was happening outside the bus. Those fan bus trips back in the day were something else.
Owen Sound takes a fan bus to Erie every year (we do a home and home dble header every year). We have ALWAYS been treated with the utmost respect by the fans and arena staff...it is our most popular trip....look forward to the trip this year again
That’ll be good for him. Very raw guy- a camp with all those great players will do nothing but good things for him.
I've always been super impressed by spellacy. Size, elite speed & physical. What's not to like lol. Would say with guys like him u do see it take till they are 19 for everything to click.
The more next season comes in to focus, the more pissed I get at the import selection. I hope all would agree that we needed a top end D in that draft. Ending up with a 3rd rd NHL pick, and a F when picking 3rd overall in the import draft is a big fail IMO. For example, Adam Jiricek was on the board when Windsor picked, a 6’3” R shot D, 1st rd selection by St Louis and the Spits pass. Sure they may not have had a connection to the agent but take the shot when it’s there. It appears Adam will play in Brantford FFS.
I can see that sentiment. I still believe this was always going to be the path. They had more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Easier to fix issues up front than on D. I would have been more confident if Bowler had decided to move on from Eichler and took a high end 07 like other organizations did in round 2. Keeping Eichler was the easy thing to do and Bowler did it. When the team improves and Eichler isn't an OA he will just pick another import. When Protas has a solid year Bowler he will be hailed by fans as a chl import draft merchant.The more next season comes in to focus, the more pissed I get at the import selection.

He will still have to make a few moves especially on D. Probably needs another top 6 forward as well. Needs to insulate this group in case Greentree makes WJs and misses 15 or so games.
Greentree is not making the WJ's. I don't believe he was even invited to camp.
