Not sure what to say about this comment....real senior hockey world??123 wrote:In my opinion here is the problem for the Cats. We really didn't know what we were going to get since there's essentially no competition for them here. I've said before and Evan and others will remember. There's 4 groups in NL
4) Bell Island, CBN and Southern Shore
3) Northeast and St. John's
2) Gander, Corner Brook and Clarenville
1) a mile ahead Grand-Falls
Take an all star team from groups 2-4 and they might win a game in a best of 7 against the Cats. I wondered in the real Senior hockey world what type of team that Cats were to be honest. To me they answered the bell and just got beat. No explanation for the 3rd period though. They got wore down...maybe?

Well if he doesn't want to return he'll be good trade bait. He can decide not to play but he can't play anywhere else without a release or trade.Genosniper81 wrote:Apparently AJ wasn't all that happy about not playing a single game! And he won't be returning next season.
I think you'll see a lot of players retire or move on before next season forcing the Cats into a rebuild.123 wrote:PurpleandGold wrote:Not sure what to say about this comment....real senior hockey world??123 wrote:In my opinion here is the problem for the Cats.

Right now there is no competition for the Cats in NL Senior hockey and that's as plain as the nose on my face. I'd bet my bank account that in late March or early April 2017 they will be raising the Herder again. The real hockey workd is where they will get real competition. I'm sorry the CWSHL is indeed a great league BUT there's one team well ahead of the pack compared to the others. It's not even close. They played perhaps 40 games this season, give or take, and lost perhaps 7.
Unless he plays out East. Would not be surprised to see him in a Cee Bees jersey next seasonwtf100 wrote:Well if he doesn't want to return he'll be good trade bait.

Lack of competition hurt them. When the chips were down they couldn't pull out the win.123 wrote:PurpleandGold wrote:Not sure what to say about this comment....real senior hockey world??123 wrote:In my opinion here is the problem for the Cats.
