Belchetz is a shit kicker, we learned that in week one when he was bullying guys out there and putting 4 goals up, aint to many guys tossing him around at his size.
Going need a solid third, first goal here is big. Need lots of shots, and Costanzo took off where Froggett left at and we need Joey to have a lights out third here. Hope Walters and the Coaches gets this team prepared for this period.
Hope its not too too serious for Froggett, feel for the kid. He has been heating up and looking like a legit OHL goalie.
Big third, need the first goal!!
Go Spits Go!!!

That is why you don't waste picks in a year they are not ready to win. Stay the course.
London's tenacity on pucks is incredible. That's with 4 of their best players out. The Spits lazy chips towards the middle in their own zone resulted in 2 3rd period goals. 1 by 66 and one by 44. Greentree's one timer needs serious work. Our 4th line was fine. Looked like a Londonl line with tenacity of Gaymes Garden and Lemieux. The top lines juggled from last night did not work. Froggett held us in the 1st until injured. Kid seems to excel with big game pressure. If Belts is hurt we are in trouble. Do the Knights get Barkey back for tomorrow? Tonight should have shown the fence that sitters that next year is a go year. Sell wisely and get things in order for next year. 
% Greentree is back, likely AJ and possibly Protas with some luck with the Caps. Go Spits tomorrow and take back that loss.

Keep in mind, despite missing those WJ players , they still had 8 players drafted by an NHL team playing in this game. Their depth is crazy. Best roster in the country. Spits are the younger, more inexperienced squad.

A few things...
- Per Windsor Star, Froggett has a lower body injury and will be evaluated on Saturday. Not expected to dress. LaSalle plays tomorrow, Georgetown does not, so... who knows. My gut says Windbiel but that's just a gut.
- I don't think Windsor played a bad opening 40; keeping it a 1-1 game and shots 25-18 is respectable. They weren't used to London's speed or tenacity, though. You can hear about the Windsor/London hype all you want but playing in it's a different matter. Was there some intimidation for the new guys? London seemed eager to prove that they didn't need their WJC guys to beat a contender.
- Two goals in two minutes to start the third killed anything Windsor had. I know they've talked about how they're confident and can come back but I also know that Walters has said that, if they get down a couple or three against a contender, it's darn tough to come back. This was a shining example.
- Hopefully Belchetz is okay. He didn't look bad after the fight but maybe just precautionary. By *no* means do I want him to go looking for scraps; they need his offence and size on the ice. However, if stuff happens, he can certainly handle his own and isn't afraid to throw.
- Same goes for Froggett - hopefully it's nothing serious. Leg/knee injuries are a pain to deal with; I have them myself. He was playing well, which impressed me, so we'll see what the result is. The good news(ish) about the injuries is that they have one game left after tomorrow before the holidays. That's lots of time to rest/heal up.
- Looks like a solid crowd for Saturday. Tickets are mostly in the upper east end so 5,500-6,000 isn't out of the question.
- Friday was a rough one and everyone knows it. Props to London for taking care of business. That said, Saturday's Windsor's chance to go "we're still here." Any intimidation, any shock factor towards their talent, etc. is long out the window. Come home, play the game they know they're capable of, and take a split in the home-and-home.
- With that said, I'm still very much in the "buy light" category. The west is still very wide open, save for London at the top. If Bowler goes out, spends a bit for a veteran D and maybe an 05 F that can help next season, you can win the division and hopefully get 2-3 rounds in. That goes a very long way towards any run next season.
