I am thankful that the Petes will get to salute the home crowd before ending the year. They had a strong second half and are showing huge strides for next year. I'm really looking forward to having the privilege of watching this team next season.

As for a little memo to the Petes fans. All of you should be on your feet at the end of Thursday's game, win or lose. They represent our city, and they have provided a lot of respect to the city, and to the maroon and white they wear with pride. The team should be given back the respect that they are giving towards the city by being given a standing ovation.

For the teams sake, let's hope they keep the game close, as we all know that the "loyal" fans in Peterborough tend to leave the games as soon as the 50-50 number is called if the team is being blown out.

PLEASE Petes fans, stay in your seats until the end. Even if Thursday is the only night you'll ever do it, just do it for the boys. We all seem to forget that they are just young men who are playing with a hope of a career someday. Let's give them the good-bye they deserve.

"Attention Ryan Daniels, please report to the Peterborough Petes net, thank you"..I know Missiaen has had a ton of shots this series and in all honesty has played pretty well, but the fact of the matter is he hasn't been able to get us a win. Daniels injury doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore, and I feel like we have nothing to lose by starting him, as a veteran he deserves to play in his possible last game of his OHL career. If Missiaen can't get the job done, lets try and change things up and give Daniels the go, he was playing rather well before his injury.

I was actually thinking this while posting my first post. To give credit where credit is due, Jason Missiaen is the reason the games have been so close. However, like you said, he hasn't been able to win games. Wether Ryan Daniels can or not we haven't seen yet, but hopefully we will. I also agree that he should play this game as it may be his last chance at an OHL win. If the Petes lose, his Ontario Hockey League career is over and he may not even have a say in how it ends if they continue to ride Missiaen.

I'm still sticking with my first post however. The main message at least. I hope the fans don't run to their cars, the boys need people to be cheering them on at the end. This game is as much confidence as it is ability. If they have confidence heading into next year with a year under their belts, other teams better look out for them. However, the only way to gain that confidence is by having people stand and cheer for you after season ending loss, and to know that there are still people who believe.

The Petes motto this year is "All In". All I can do is ask, the boys are "All In", are the fans with them?

If I can find a ride from Oshawa, I'll be there to support them, but if not, I'll be screaming my lungs out listening to the radio broadcast hoping they can hear me from here.

Agreed. I would start Daniels as well, even if it is only because it may be his last game.

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

who cares if it's Daniels last game??? I've got nothing against him, but the Petes don't owe him anything, this isn't a country club...he was brought in as a hired hand. Right now Missiaen is the future in net for this team. He's played very well the first three games and deserves this start. The Petes need to give him big game experience far more than they need to give it to Daniels. Saying he hasn't won them a game or that he "can't get the job done" is misleading. He's done everything BUT get them a win...there's lots of blame to spread around elsewhere.

...that being said, GO PETES GO!

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

I'm not saying that there isn't blame elsewhere, however many times teams play entirely different with someone else in net. And right now I don't care how much experience Missiaen could get in the playoffs hes gotten his chance. A change is exactly what this team needs, why give up a chance at a win just to give someone experience? Thats ludicrious and only a coach who doesn't care about winning would do that.

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

Playing Missiaen doesn't "give up a chance to win". Ignoring the "ludicrious" issues: the last game, the future, the playoff experience....I don't see how Daniels coming in cold, off an injury, gives them a better chance today.

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

Many OHL teams meet centre ice after a game, raise their sticks to salute their fans. I think this is a wonderful gesture, does anyone know why the Pete's don't do this ?

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

Agreed Petenik.

I don't get it. People wanted to make the playoffs for experience. Now that they made the playoffs, you want to take the goalie, who should be getting experience out of the net, in favor of a 20 year old whose OHL career in all likelyhood is over tonight.

For what?

Who cares if the Petes win one game, it's one game, you have to win 4, there's no chance in hell they are coming from 3 games down to win this series.

The only area in which the Petes can claim they've been better, or at least on par, is between the pipes.

Daniels will get over it, he'll be playing in a higher league next year.

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

I think the whole argue about whether Missiaen plays or not comes down to one simple question... who's going to be here next season?!?!

Daniels sure won't be, but I guess we'll see what Management seems to think when the time comes. If Daniels is in net it just further goes to show the country club type atmosphere that we all assumed followed the team around for years. Missiaen deserves it, if only because he's been in net the past 3 games, and if it wasn't for him, the Petes would've been blown out of the water in all three of those games (especially game2, that one could've gotten REAL Ugly).

My Recent Posts · (03/26/09

Game 2 could've been different if lets say Missiaen didn't mishandle the puck behind the net which resulted in a goal. I'm glad you all think Missiaen is a savior, however look at his stats he's 12-21, Daniels has been here less time and has played in a 1/3 less games and hes 11-11. Thats all I have to say. I'm done here, I'm glad you only care about the playoff experience, and winning four games after you're down 3 games doesn't happen very often but its not impossible.

Now that the season is over, here is the scoop on Tony Romano and why he was a scratch in games 2 and 3.

The injury he suffered was a concussion on a hit into the end boards of the PMC in the second last game of the year against the Kingston Frontenacs. It ended up leading to the game winning goal and a crucial two points but he never seemed the same after.

He played the final regular season game and kept to himself that he wasn't feeling all that great for that week. He then played game 1 in Brampton and realized it could be more serious than he thought. He called his father who told him that if he couldn't play, life would go on and he was held out of action due to this concussion. He played the game of his career as far as I am concerned and I am very thankful to have had the pleasure of watching this young man play at the Memorial Centre this year. Tony, you will be missed.

As for the rest of the team, that was one hell of an effort tonight. Going down 3-0 tonight I thought would have sent them packing. However, they stuck in it and with two clutch goals by Romano they were one bounce a way from sending this game into overtime as well.

I would just like to thank the Battalion fans for not being rude to the Petes and showing some respect by not bringing the brooms through the doors of the Memorial Centre. You guys are a classy bunch and I wish you all the best of luck in the playoffs.

As for the Petes, congratulations on what I would consider a good season boys. You now all know how much effort it takes to succeed in the playoffs and with this experience I can guarantee you will come confidence. As a very young team, the talent will come with the older you get and you will all grow. I look forward to watching all the games again next year.

Until next year, goodnight Petes fans.

WOW am I ever glad that the Petes made it into the playoffs just to get swept. Thank god for all the playoff experience that was gained. Last year we at least lasted 5 games and that was with Malette. I thought for sure this year with the the 2 hockey genuises ( Twohey, McRae) leading the team we would last just as long. Just thinking about next season make me nauseous.

I have to disagree with Petes Central. This was not a good season for the Petes. 99% of the time this team took too many nights off. During the regular season I cannot recall many games where this team played three good periods of hockey. For most of the season they played undisiplined hockey taking way too many stupid penalties. Were consistantly way outshot by wide margins on most nights. I never really did figure out what system they were playing. Too many vets didn't show up for long periods of time and were not held accountable for their poor efforts. They barely made the playoffs and any way you cut it, lasted the minimum four games.

I fear that the poor play by many of our vets will have rubbed off on our young players. There was no accountability !!! There was no leadership on the ice. The one bright spot was the play of Spooner. Hopefully the kid will have someone who can play up to his potential next year.
