Gaymes needs to settle down a bit.
Either at fight limit or over now. Suspensions will be coming if he keeps fighting.

Win!!! Nice breakout game for Nesbitt. Really elevating his game this year. We outscored our deficiencies but that won't happen late in the year. Hate to say it but Froggett is looking really suspect. 5 goals on 20 shots does not cut it even as a backup. I'd give him another couple of starts to see an improvement.

They're not all going to be pretty but take the two points and the lesson. I'll post more later but best wishes to Cole Davis on a full recovery. He took a crosscheck to the neck and went down in the second period; trainers, doctors, and stretcher all came out. It was an eerie, scary scene. We'll see when information comes out.

Spits get another win. Third period was not pretty but credit to Owen Sound for not giving up. not every game is going to be a dominant performance for all 60 minutes, this is a competitive league. Belchetz is close to breaking out. He hit the post and had a great pass on his assist. Really like Hicks, he is going to be a great d man. Spellacy also had a nice assist.

Newlove is ranked for this upcoming draft, he should be with the Spitfires, he is already signed. We definitely have a ton of goalie depth now.

Nesbitt was rated as a B (2nd,3rd round) but if he continues to put up points I think he can go in the 1st round.

Niagara in town next, should be a good one, expecting a crowd of about 5,500 - 6,000.

Per HC Greg Walters post-game - It's not Davis' head, looks like an upper body injury. They're still waiting on reports and don't know a lot right now. But, they don't think it's as bad as it looked.
More of a freak play then anything else on the Davis hit saw the replay and there was contact no doubt but the contact was more high chest then the head area and the momentum spin him into a bad angle. Or at least from the replay it showed that.

If he was in open ice and not along the boards likely would more knocked the wind out of him then anything.

Never I nice thing to see a player get hurt on any team but odd plays happen and players get caught in odd positions Davis happened to be the unlucky player who was on the receiving end of bad circumstance.

It didn’t look aggressive or like there was malice, I’m surprised he got a 5 and a game. Davis kinda leaned down into em, he got his hands up and didn’t really drive him into the boards but kinda followed him until he went down. Agreed, freak play. Without the game misconduct on a player being stretchered off maybe the refs are worried about guys trying to police the game themselves. It looked like a hockey play that just kinda went weird.

Stick was up by the back of the neck, hopefully Davis is alright, maybe a rib injury? Watched from home and it didn’t look like he was holding or grabbing at anything specific.

Tough break too, just got back from an injury. Feel bad for the kid.
