Not sure who's bright idea this was, likely management. But you hang your new 20 yr old goalie out on his first game??? Give your head a shake. No vets or not this will be another long seasons as the vets will all want out at Christmas. Stella couldn't rebuild a paper airplane I always enjoy coming on to this message board, especially after a loss ... a pre season loss at that. The sky is falling!!

Come back anytime, and you'll see the same thing, cause this team is no way near ready to compete. But you would actually need to know something about Jr hockey, so just enjoy your little fantasy world.

This team only figures to compete in 2 years (maybe even 3).

People are already preparing to sell off vets if anything. It was also a preseason game that nobody will remember in 72 hours.

People are already preparing to sell off vets if anything. It was also a preseason game that nobody will remember in 72 hours. The work ethic last night was simply not at the level it needs to be. (and not to say they were outmatched) If this team wants to be competitive—no matter who is in the lineup—they have to bring the energy and determination. You can’t expect results if you’re not putting in the effort. Telling the young rookies that what happened last night is acceptable sends the wrong message. The season starts now, and for most of these players, tryouts are over, they are on the team. Those who are still on the bubble should be the hardest workers out there, fighting for their spot every shift. What we saw last night just wasn't good enough. I really hope that performance was an exception in terms of the effort level we’ll see moving forward. Losing games is part of the process, especially when you're building chemistry and working with a young roster. But losing without putting in the hard work is unacceptable, especially for a team trying to develop its identity. Blow outs in this league is simply a result of not putting in the effort. Coaches, players, and fans shouldn't be able to walk away from that game feeling satisfied. Just because we might be ranked lower than other teams doesn't mean we throw in the towel. No team should ever bow out because of a ranking—it's about showing up and giving 100% every time you hit the ice. That's the mindset we need to instill moving forward. Results will follow if we bring the work ethic, but without it, we're going nowhere fast and teaching bad culture. Edit: I am not mad, more disappointed, I'm sure the players are too. It's a game to forget, but also to remember that this is a competitive league, and you can't take your foot off the gas. If i did not care about the team I would just shrug it off, but after watching 50 plus shots against last year, enough is enough. Just want to ensure that if players read this, they know that last night is not the way the teams identity should represented going forward. I will not comment anymore on this. I have somewhat calmed down, lol. On to the next game at the Station.

Relax. It was a pre season game with a depleted lineup so much so that one player was so ill they couldn’t participate
By all accounts the practices have been intense, players on fire, goalies making great saves and surprises lie ahead for opposing teams. Funny how one bad pre season game turns that all around!

My take on last nights game is not much different than others but I also try to keep things down to earth. Did they make a mistake in what players we dressed? Absolutely after seeing what CB was coming with. We were missing 3 top forwards and our 3 top D. We were also down an extra forward because of a late scratch. The D we dressed were numbers 4-9 and to be honest 2/3 are not ready. Goalies were left out but I expect more come regular season from them. There were some good from last night watching a few players but not much. It’s only preseason no need to get down on the team. Keep in mind these are kids 16-18 that played last night and will get better as the season moves on.

Preaching about work ethic and players knowing this and that is beyond silly. These are glorified practices to get players on the ice and promote the game in smaller areas.

The Sea Dogs are about to start their 20th season and in pretty much all of the previous 19, they have been on one end or the other of multiple blowout games. Every team in the league has blown us out at one point and we've returned the favor at another point. This is nothing new. It happens. Sometimes one team is just that much better than the other team.

And teams almost always dress a weaker lineup on the road than they do at home during preseason. I expect most of the available veterans to play tomorrow.

The most important things for this game are that everyone comes out healthy There's some food poisoning going around the team from earlier today It was not food poisoning from what I have heard, It was the fact that one player does not have a tolerance to gluten, and was told the meal was gluten free, however, it was not.

I expect a similar lineup today against Charlottetown (only hopefully with Yared).
That being said, Charlottetown isn't a top 10 team in the country so it should be a much better game.
