Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

Leave that for Martin, Eichler, Gaymes, or maybe Greentree (captain defending his team). I appreciate that Belchetz can fight but it should be one of those "break glass for emergency only" things lol

Seriously? Let one of them step in when a guy half your size n isn't a fighter steps in a challenges ya cause the player that started it wont or couldnt?
Perfect time for Belch to show up IMO. Close game, top. 2 teams, your teammate took a shot at a LK ppayer to get em going......perfect time for him step in. Injuries happen but I get him wanting to fire up a mostly listless squad that evening.
None of those players u mentioned wanted to go any1, n in fact one of them took a late run at a LK that led to the fight, instead of the player standing up for himself.
But ya iI do agree he shouldn't be an enforcer with his talent but he will eventually need to fight someone with pedigree to earn league respect as not soneone to mess with. VB wasnt that kid lol.
I for one am a fan of the player ( Belch ) from what I'm seen.

Belchetz needs to show at this level and eventually the NHL level that he is not to be pestered with. Parking in the crease like he does and should be will bring challengers. His overhand rights like a jack hammer last night made me think glad it was not my mug he hurt his hand on. No thanks if I'm the competition lol.

He will.need to pick someone else to get that respect. But I do applaud his taking the challenge and winning it easily n handily
Just don't think it sends a message league wide. Not yet but good start.

Actually, the fight last night will help Belchez's reputation. A player of his potental and size with a tough reputation gets left alone. Gordie Howe had a reputation as a fighter, but the league didn't challange him.

For sure. Not crowning him heavyweight champion but most may think twice for awhile.

Martin's used to taking dumb penalties

Howe was knew how to "break some rules" too. That helped his rep a lot
Completely different decades now..
