How could they not with so many game breakrs? That’s true. Should we all meet up for a pancake breakfast when we Attend the parade in Bathurst? This parade will be after lunch. chsb likes to sleep late.

....I forgot to mention: That will be if they play every game like they played last Sunday.
However there will definitely be a sharp increase in offense. Galipeau will have that impact.

I could see this team getting to 250 goals for on the season, maybe they get a little higher if they beat up on some weaker teams. I don’t see guys points per games improving drastically, if at all, in fact it’s more likely that the point totals for players decrease. There’s only so many goals that can be scored, while the additions are going to add some offence, there’s only so much that’s going to be realistically added. I am not gonna defend what I wrote above, but I will surely pretend that the Titan will score at 4.50 ppg from now to season end. That would give them 270 goals for the season and that is very conservative.

Yeah they’ve improved, yeah they’ve got talent and will beat up on weaker teams but I do not for a minute think this team is going to score 4.5+ goals per game the rest of the season. I would bet good money on that fact, 270 goals is not a conservative assessment. That’s a rather aggressive one.

Wait long enough and he'll hit every number. And still be wrong.

I fully expect the Titan to possibly score on average 3 goals a game, that seems realistic, 4/5/6 goals a game on average is actually quite a bit and I don't remember the last time a team scored at a 5/6 goal per game pace

The Islanders scored at an even higher pace.

There’s teams every year that score over 4 but to expect the Titan to score so many right now that they get to 270-300 goals is a stretch given how many they have and how many games are left. As a competing team I’d hope they’d be closer to 4 then 3, I think they’ll fall right into that 3.8-3.9 range when all’s said and done. Over the 2nd half of the season.

I Don't see how you can say the Titan have now a weaker offense than last season's 2nd half when they scored at a 4.50 ppg average. That would bring them to 270 goals.

4-4.50 might be realistic but to say 5/6 goals per game average, that's a bit much

Play like last Sunday, our toughest player is now gone for two game,and it was not good for Veil, We will not beat Mooseheads, or Isles without toughness and coaching. This is Xmas , not year end. Offensively we have definitely improved,on defense, Ivan will be our differance with Galipeau, Dobson should improve on his defensive game, he is great on the offensive side, and Holwell is not given the credit he has earned over the last year and a half, the team is great on the offensive side, goaltending, not proven yet, and toughness, not a matter of size, but into the corners, in front of the net and at the blue line will determine how far we go. Behind the bench will determine what we do.

Behind the bench will determine what we do. Speaking of that, it was determined a staged fight by the refs In my mind this means that the fight was ordered from the bench with the Coach fully knowing what was the situation with Viel's cumulated code penalties. I find it appalling that he could request his Captain to fight knowing the consequences. IMO it had everything to do with a Coach that was put on notice and who unloaded that weight on his Captain. You are right in repeating the importance of good coaching.

It would appear that the fight was ordered from the other PEI coach. When they were facing-off you could see and hear Hunter yapping at Viel and he continued yapping even after the face-off.
