I would say it's fact we are playing a bottom team and he's gonna have to start playing more games and IMO more then just celler dwellers too if he's gonna be ready by next year.

I agree with everything you say except that sounds like a prediction to me, albeit a pretty good one.

What I meant was if this has actually been confirmed by a reliable source.

Cellar Dwellers are perfect opponents for Passingham to play and get his feet wet in this league................ let him get a feel for this league and build some confidence before you throw him to the wolves. You don't want him playing a contender and get lit up breaking any confidence he gained. Even if he plays next season you can expect him to play the weaker teams for the most part.

I didn't say Halifax ;D

I think this will be his last game of the year barring any injury he's playing cuz we don't have Mayer and Fullerton tandem today or if Mayer is here he is getting the day off.

I'm sure the plan next year will be to play him against the weaker teams I have absolutely no doubt about that one.

Drummondville are the Sea Dogs of old. On paper this should be a white wash. Shoud be an opportunity for everyone to play and work on things like PK and PP. 8 - 2 Dogs.

So if that is in fact the plan next year to play Passingham against weaker teams then why would it be any different this season?

You said you wanted to see Passingham play games against teams other then cellar dwellers.....................

Killer that's all he's played is the last place teams he's gonna have to play more then the bottom 2 teams all the time if he's going to be an effective backup

Now I'm not saying he'll have to play the top teams next year but also against some of the middle of the road team yes he's gonna have to. I know it's not gonna happen this year but I just think he's gonna need some more games like the game against Val D'or maybe or Shawinigan those types of teams.

Passingham will get that all next season if he proves his worth, He would be playing at a lower level this season if not for fear of loosing his rights once he was released from our team.

Drummondville stuggles offensively to the point where you may have given them too much credit. 10-1 Dogs.

They may not hit 100 GF this year.
