Protas back to Windsor

Bowler said it during the intermission yesterday. Jeez you really didn’t watch the game did you?

Wasn't some saying Lemieux should be sent down lol

Yep, during preseason, I didn't see enough from Lemieux and thought he'd benefit from some time in LaSalle. Last night, he showed what he can do, which was vastly different than preseason. It was night-and-day and I'm proud of the kid for finding that extra gear. Let's hope it continues.

Could change mind again next week...

Oh trust me I know. I counted I think 4 in a row from him yesterday and I’m not even a spits fan lol I can only imagine how frustrating this is for some of you guys hearing this guy blab on and on

When I see everybody responding to "show ignored content" I know what's going down.

What’s the deal with this new commissioner? We going to get some fighting restrictions lifted? Because if Saginaw and Kitchener games say anything… we’re already running low on chances to drop the mitts. Lol.

Not that this needs to be a fighting game, but I feel 5 go’s in 68 games is fitting for some guys, especially with the helmet-on rule.

Otherwise the whacks start to get excessive. I’d much rather see guys go, then guys start hacking away on NHL prospects, with mid-level officiating that may ‘miss’ a two hander across the wrists

London bringing in the Boulton brothers who weren't out there to play hockey is the reason for this lol. Feels like every team in West brought in a tough guy, or two.

Flint plays aggressive & mean. Windsor is huge. Sarnia wants to play with snarl. London always does. Kitchener brought in big guys because they got bullied last yr. Erie brought in a tough guy. Owen Sound always plays gritty in their barn.

Been a ton of fights already. I'll say I enjoy it because it makes games that are a bit boring more entertaining but it also worsens the talent pool having goons on everyone's 4th lines & it creates what happened in ur game yesterday where it's just utter chaos.

Who's the Erie tough guy? Da Silva?

I don't mind having one or two guys who can throw with anyone, as long as they're disciplined. Windsor's got Martin, Gaymes (who can actually score), and Winegard (who's on the bubble), any of which I'm okay with. Last night's game was a combination of a lopsided score and a team standing up for each other.

Yah within 10 minutes he was ejected in their opener lol.

Those 3 disciplined?

So what you're telling me is there isn't a correlation to exhibition and regular season.

No, I'm telling you I didn't see enough in preseason to think he warranted a spot but he showed far better last night and impressed me.

A slewfoot is a helluva intro lol but I don't blame them for bringing him in. This conference almost needs it.

Why?

 

[Teflon]

Pretty good way to start the season! Lots of positives. Lets keep it reigned in tho, still many players coming back from camps and injury/sickness. Team is certainly going to attract more attn from other teams. Dont appear to be an easy mark any longer.

So funny to see London in everyone's head lol.
Are you saying it's a case of follow the leader

Oh wait this the Spits board....Bilke was coincidentally a huge reason the fight limit got lowered as far as it did. Fought more than Boltons together x 10 lol. And was a fan favourite for many.
