2-2 after 20. Windsor up 17-7 in shots, I believe. Not a great start but they're really pressing the net and trying to create chances that way.
For whatever it's worth - YourTV has audio that's going in-and-out while Beller sounds like he's broadcasting from under water on AM800. I'm guessing it's internet connections or something on Brampton's end.

Well still nothing on the CHL app. Disappointed as I can't watch tomorrow, apparently turkey with family is more important, lol. On to Monday I guess. Hope it's a good game to watch.

Its back up and running
Organization is a dumpsterfire (not the team on the ice). The Arizona coyotes of the OHL, I will give it 5 years at most and they will be relocated again. That organization cant get it right in Brampton, it just wont work, that building should be sold out in the GTA. really no excuse in 2024 with the broadcast, get your shit together and put the game on tv. everthing should have been tested well prior to puckdrop.

Something to do with his arm/wrist? He went off in pain.
I get the attendance; it's always been like that in the GTA. But, the TV/internet issues shouldn't happen.

3-3 after 40 isn't a bad game at all.
I don't know what MacDonnell said or did to Cristoforo at the end of the period, but if Cristo is throwing a solid right and yelling back...

Well the game is competitive. Their hanging in there. Seem to dominate and then get dominated. Christo standing up for himself, that is a pleasant change.

Agreed! I can see this team moved to Hamilton when all the construction at the Hamilton arena is done. Steelheads have a great team and it's really sad to see all the empty seats here tonight
Always good to have a quick start for 3rd period.
Windsor was ready to play.

I am not surprised there aren't many fans, the Battalion built a fan base and community in Brampton and then moved to North Bay and now that community is expected to be fans of a rival team who took over their town. It's weird man.
Nice game from the Spits, I loved the Spellacy goal. He just took it to the house at top speed with no regard for the goalie's or his own health. Good games from Protas and Woodall among others. Costanzo could have been better on some goals, but he did make a few key saves at various points.
Its a great sign when a team plays this well from behind, they just keep grinding away. The fish were supposed to be hot stuff but they just got dummied on home ice in convincing fashion. Bowler is going to go for it this year isn't he? You saw the article in the Windsor Star, we're going for it now for sure.

Think he might have had his chain snached off his neck, nice to see some snarl forsure from him. Lots of things needed to round out his gme and a little grit is needed. He was solid tonight other then the third Brampton goal where he was lost in the crease.
Some things to critique and tidy up but ultimately a solid gritty win and will take the two points and head for Pennsylvania. Joey was solid enough to get us the win tonight and that's all you can ask for some games, solid Steelheads squad over there.
Hope Brampton can figure it out, but gotta preach to the masses there and has to be the right ownership and gameplan to work in that area. Horrible broadcast camera, happy thats the only time the Spitfires will be in Brampton this season.
Hope to see it continue tomorrow, i know in past teams Walters likes to run his starting goalies for lots of games, which im not against it if its working. Wonder if Froggett gets the nod tomorrow. Need to stay on top of it and not get complacent after a great start, this is the time to pick up lots of points in the standings that could be needed down the stretch.
Solid Game!!!
GO Spits!!

Big win tonight!! Gotta keep the momentum going into Erie!! Tough barn to win in!!
In the Star article, Bowler not saying for sure either way since it is early, but just the fact he is addressing it already hes definitely seriously thinking about it. The article kind of surprised me of mentioning they have the assets to go after Musty who wants a trade. Odd there was a whole paragraph on Musty. Hummm
Got to be careful not to disturb the mojo they have already with the team.

Can't see them going after Musty. More of a drive up the price for other teams so they run out of Amo by trade deadline. It's a Hunter trick.
What a big win against the #1 ranked squad in the CHL. Scoring 7 on them displays how potent this offense is.
Walters needs to put Belchetz on a line with Spellacy. Not sure why he has Garden on the line with Spellacy instead.
Spellacy was a beast on his goal and on the Morneau goal. Protas continues to stand out. Yes he is scoring goals, but I believe his hockey IQ and vision are his best strengths.
Well they just beat Brantford and Brampton, two contenders. Another challenging one tomorrow. Erie won't be happy after blowing one against North Bay. Then we have Oshawa next. Possibly the most daunting span of games all season.

I agree about Musty have zero interest in acquiring him from Sudbury.
As for tonight's game against the #1 rated team in the country nice bounce back after being down 2-0 before the 10 minute mark of the 1st,scored same number of PP goals as them though none with a 2 man advantage like they did,scored a shorty by Morneau that was huge wound up the winner,too bad Davis missed the last 2-1/2 periods,thank goodness for depth,should mention the PP is now #1 ,in the league at 37%, but what's interesting is that Windsor is 17th at home on the PP in 2 games played but 1st on the road at 50% wow.
The PK took a hit though now are at 10th in the league
Spits now have 38 goals for after 6 games and 17 against,amazing they averaged 6 per game in exhibition in 5 games,now 6 games in regular season its 6.33 per game,and remember Greentree missed game 1,Spellacy and Potras missed the 1st 3 each.
Costanzo now averaging 2.39,5 wins in a row and a save percentage of 925.
Last year he finished 5.08vave,won 10 games all year 39 games played,this year 5 games,5 wins,quite the turnaround so far.
There is no quit with this group,it's not an old team by any stretch but very promising moving forward
Impressive to watch
Keep it up boys no foot off the pedal.

With Hicks out of the lineup tonight, it seems to support the idea that there is a limitation on the number of 16yos that can play. I realize that there are certain exceptions, but none applied tonight.
We may know by tomorrow if what u wrote is true as I don't expect Davis to play tomorrow at Erie,so either 17 year old dman Adrian Manzo dresses or does Hicks dress as the 7th D to go with the forwards expected to play.
