Why would the Titan need to scare you?

If you go to the predictions section of this board, you will read that just about the majority of people see the Titan as a #1-2 or3 team in the East.

Not hard to be ranked #3 with all the mediocre teams in the division.

Also there's only 8 teams

With all the mediocre teams? I'm sorry, but the teams in the east will again be stronger then the teams in the Telus this year, just like last year.

But maybe Rouyn will save the Telus' face and win them their first President's Cup ;D

The biggest thing in the East might be that several teams are going to field very competitive teams this year. (sorry off topic a bit)

[P-O]

St-John
St-John's
Cape-breton

I don't think these club will compete at all.


Moncton
Lewiston

They will be average team


IPE
Bathurst
will push it

Halifax leads the pack




While in the West

Drummondville
Val D'or
I don't think these club will compete at all.

Shawinigan
Chicoutimi
Baie-Comeau
They will be average team


Rimouski
Québec
Gatineau
Victorivaille
They will push it


Rouyn leads the pack

No doubt that you have very little clue about the Eastern teams:
If we look at St-John's, here are the first 3 lines:
16 Graham – 14 Welcher – 21 Guilbault
27 Fillier – 4 Allard – 10 Kempe
9 Adam – 24 MacDougall – 22 Layton

and their defense:
44 Brennan – 7 Dubuc
11 O’Keefe – 3 Stanley
2 Beaudoin - 6 Pomerleau

Add to that Pilmeier in goals and you got a team which will play at least for .500

If you look at Saint-John, here are their first 3 lines:
# Payton Liske
# Chris DiDomenico
# Jordon Knox

# Ryan Sparling
# Steven Anthony
# François Gauthier

# Francis Guerette-Charland
# Matthew Stoddard
# Keven Guerette-Charland

and their defense:
# David Stich # Alex Grant
# Yann Sauve # Pascal Amyot
# Simon Despres # Jeff McNeil
# Anthony Pisano

and goaltenders:
# Travis Fullerton
# Robert Mayer

That is definitely a team which will flirt with .500 also.
If you compare these two with your bottom feeders in the West, Vald'Or and Drummondville, these two teams are miles ahead.
Now CB might or might not deceide to sell the farm...
If they don't, they will be better than anticipated...around 50-60 points.

Face it, there are no weak team in the Eastern Division this season!

Moncton will be a little less strong as last year IMPO....
around 75 points.
PEI will be above 80 points, Lewiston also.
Titan should be from 85-90 points(even without Bartos) and Halifax will be at the top...

I don't know if all these points are possible(probably not) but that is the way I see the East and don't fool yourself, there will be no free lunch for any Western visiting team.

[P-O]

I am sorry but I can't see how both St John's 3rd line are any good...

Guerette Charland as a 20 yo is the best exemple of how weak they are.

I don't think they are .500 club.


I don't see the Titans at 90 points without Bartos.

Somebody beer bet this pro-quebecer here that the Eastern Division teams finish with a better head to head record than the Telus.

I am not a pro Québecer.

I think Halifax is the best team, I am just saying there are 3 mediocre teams in the East.

Are you pissed that I said you're franchise suck?

Do I need more arguments than 3 first overall pick in a row?

As for the head to head record I think it'll be pretty fair.

[thebee]

Hahah, I thought this thing was supposed to be about Bartos .. not about which teams are gonna be the best ..

When a junior cycle is 4-5 years, 3 first picks overall can do wonders building a team up

This is the last I will elaborate in this topic on that, but you do look dumb with your assessment of the Eastern Division.

Now you know how some of us feel when you make your "assessment" on the Titan team every year.

How is my assessment of this year's Titan dumb?
I predicted 2nd in the East and 1 on 3 posters predicted that so far.....lots of dumb people if it is so!

I predicted that they would beat you guys last season....remember?

The fact that they did not deliberately convoke the media to a press conference and that they answered naturally to the questions asked enhances my belief that they were true in their answers.

I have to agree with chsb here. If the team knew what the issue was and Bartos was coming back no questions asked, Couturier would not be making it look in the media like Bartos doesn't give a damn about the team. He was visibly irked at Bartos and the situation.

It may work itself out and he returns, but it's pretty obvious he's rubbed some(players and managemement) the wrong way, even if he returns, they may have to move him to clean the room.


...and whatif, don't bother replying with your usual jibberish, I don't care.

Now that really hurts as I thought that with this new Board setup there would only be "love" in the air.

Now you can understand where I have been sitting in respect to your posts for a few years now......and I won't even take your comments personally and I won't forward them them on to the Mod.

It is good to see "new (handles at least)" on this board and it does NOT need you insulting them and chasing them away just because they don't agree with you. Thanks "the bee" for your thoughts and carryon! Some posters are a little touchy from below when everybody does not show them the "respect??" they feel they deserve just because they are older than ADAM and EVE.

I agree that I also believe that the Bartos situation will work itself out to the Titan satisfaction. Some Euros are now signing with Euro Pro teams(younger guys). If in fact that was what Bartos was attempting to do and does not sign, then hopefully he will continue as a Titan . His teammates will understand and may in fact have a clue about what was going on in the 1st place.

Some poster did mention the TJ article....we do get the TJ paper up here and the writer of the article was from Bathurst so it is not the 1st time the info was seen. Do you get the Northern Light or the Acadie Nouvelle? The latter is the best of the papers as it has Titan info year round DAILY while the TJ and Times are weak in their Titan articles.

Well your breakdown of the two divisions sure as hell makes it sound like you favor your Quebec teams/division as stronger than ours. Thus pro-quebecer.

I didn't even see you post anywhere that the Sea Dogs suck so nope. Not pissed at all. I just believe our division is better overall this year than yours.

You're a pretty defensive little pro-quebecer aren't you? Want to bet on the head to head division records? I'll bet you.

And to stay on the Bartos subject....our division will have the better record, with or without Bartos returning. ;D

and all this has what to do with Bartos coming??
