This is just a continuation of the Norris-Jones thread...

Carry on.

so putting all the smiley faces aside and the "Go NoJO Go, we love yous", how has he played in his two games with the Salsa? The Salsa website is hopeless for keeping up to date...but it looked like when he went in last night, he let the game get away from him (and the team)...weren't the Salsa up 3-0 and 4-2?

anyone know?

he didn't start last night. He started Friday and finished the game saturday.

Not great 4 on Friday including 1 PP and 1 SH. Last night he went in relief and the Clippers went home 8 - 5.

ACTUALLY, i was at the game Friday night in Nanaimo, it was 2 Power Play goals, 1 short handed.

NoJo played awesome too. Even Nanaimo fans thought he played very well. First game in 6 weeks, he did pretty darn good. He gave the Salsa a chance, but they could only get 18 shots on goal

this is a carry over from the last one, to the person that said they give the edge to Riddle.

They stated that Riddle has stuck with one team etc.

Just for those of you who dont' know, Nojo stuck in Langley for last year. Then was moved to another team so he'd be able to play more games.

I think Ryan has put himself into a good position being behind Stanton in Nanaimo, a real good goaltender. Ryan will learn a lot from him i'm sure. But he is 20, what happens next year? I don't think Ryan has proven he is ready to be a starter in the league, and Bill Bestwick of Nanaimo has what seems to be very little patience. So that being said, Ryan may be in the same position as Nojo was, if he is moved to bring in an older, more experienced goaltender. Or Ryan may stay on as the back up in nanaimo for another season.

My point being, Nojo stayed in langley for the year. Then was moved. Things change.

Also, I wonder when nojo will play his first game with Peninsula? anyone have any inside scoop?

All of your points are good ones and Riddle may find himself in the same position as NOJO if he pushes to be a starter. I can't imagine Bestwick going with Riddle based on this years performance. But I can see Riddle as the back-up for another year. Maybe NOJO should have stayed in Langley for another year.

NoJo should have stayed in Langley. He would have gotten 30 games this year.

Hopefully Ryan can learn from Cam's mistakes.

Please see part 3 for some reason.
