Any one got any updates from tonights game .
Pointstreak stuck on Pre game .
Maybe Lindsay should have been made to host their "home" games somewhere that has internet access and is less than 2 hours travel for the other team ?
Something stinky in Fish land .
Maybe they will do us a big FAVOUR and update between periods ?
Congrats to the Preds on winning a hard fought battle against a good Muskie team.
Kudos to the Lindsay Muskie ownership, the fish are vastly improved.
The head Coach of Linsay showed his immaturity, and his baby ways by leaving the game at the conclusion without shaking hands. I believe he took the puck with him...lol
.....or maybe he was headed off to find the pointstreak operator to try to badger him into adding "phantom assists"......Oh, sorry, that was Mr. Clayden. I had heard lots about this fella, now I've had a chance to see him in action. Maybe we should just go back through the entire season and give #19 an assist on every goal just to "help us out here"
By the way, even though we lost, I found the series very enjoyable. Good hard hockey without really any chippy stuff.
I have to say that the Lindsay team is vastly improved over the last part of the season and provided the fans in Port Hope and Lindsay a well played and gutsy performance in this series. Im sure they will be a force in the league next year. Good series! Cya all next year

Hey Muskie1, phantom assists are all over the leauge !!! but of course there is always a way to blame Tim Clayden isn't there !! when will it stop!! Maybe a day will come where someone will say he actually say he did a good job building a hockey team..... which he did, did he not !!
I'm sure Meyers problem wasn't with the players. No doubt would have been very uncomfortable to shake hands with Clayden. Some would say he was hung out to dry on his own a few years back.
"If they had won the series I would bet he would've been out there shaking all the hands he could."
It's always a lot easier to be gracious when you win. Let's give Brett Meyers the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he does not do the handshaking thing neither before nor after games. Maybe he thinks that is for the players.
I know when I coached I did not shake hands, win or lose, with anybody but my own assistants.
That way, I could never be accused of being a sore loser or an ungracious winner.
It really is, for the players, as I see it.It is their show.
Of course Clayden has built a great team, they've been around the top of the league for years, and I for one enjoy watching them. I had never met Tim before last night. In all the time I've worked along side our pointstreak operator I've seen lot's of players come by the bench and try to scam extra points. In every case the answer has been "you go tell the ref, have him tell us, and we'll make the change....no confirmation from the ref...no change". Clayden made it very clear last night that he wanted nothing to do with the ref, when the operator made his point clear that he wasn't making a change without consent, then Clayden sent a trainer along with our operator to speak to Hancock.
I guess what I found strange is that when I entered the office Tim was very animated in trying to get the kid to add extra points for # 19, Justin didn't say he wouldn't add the points, he just said he couldn't without them going down and talking to Darryl first, but Tim wanted no part of that scenario. I don't know what he was afraid of, I've always found Darryl very approachable, even if I don't always agree with his calls.
I understand that "phantom points" are all over the league, but I can assure you that for the last two years they haven't come from Lindsay home games. Maybe, RBC, instead of critisizing my post, you should thank me for trying to help oversee that things were done properly.
As for the coach leaving without shaking hands, that's not the thing to do in my mind either, but Bret has been nothing short of excellent with me and the other game night staff, so I have to assume that he had his reasons, whether it's what I would done or not.
Best of luck in the rest of the playoffs, I intend on making it down to the "Jack" at some point to cheer on our "Lindsay born" players.
TC does, indeed, advocate for his players, very well. Whether it is appropriate, is not for me to say. I would guess that he thinks so.
You are a classy gentleman and the Muskie organization should be proud to have you in their midst.
Your kind are too few in this league. Hope you can get down to Kingston as well.
The Muskies had a great run and you can feel as much a part of it and they.
It was a shame that they did not draw Peterborough to play against. What a match up of Matucci coaching against his former team of which he was such a big part of as a player for years.
And the Preds could have drawn the Eagles, with whom they had great difficulty all year, playing against.
If only, we the fans, could pick the match ups, huh?
