pretty entertaining game, id say chatham owned the first half while the Vipers tried to make a comeback but did it too late. Chatham definatley has Lasalle's number.

Listened to the game on the radio. Sounded like a very entertaining game. Chatham radio does a great job. Enjoy their broadcasts very much.

Nice win by the Maroons especially with the potential of having some distractions about Hopkins leaving the team. I’m sure the coach addressed the issue with the team prior to the game.

The LaSalle goalie must have displaced the net 5 or 6 times and no call. Can anyone explain what the rule is?

That's 2 captains in 2 years that the Maroons have lost. And I sense some hostility from Roeszler in the Chatham Daily News about it.

Yes the net was kicked off on 2 goals..... yes the fans in chatham were pissed as this isn't the first time this reffing duo has let this go on as we saw with london in last years play offs but it is what it is and we cant change that all that matters is the boys kept playing and got the win.

As for the hopkins deal im not saying sh** until its a done deal and announced.

Losing our Captain sucks, but I guess it could be worse... We could be in Strathroy's shoes.

[brad 36]

hes not gone as of yet for sure and even if we do loose him hes going to where he gets another year to play cant blame him for that.

[flyers2011]

Strathroy would be the worst possible situation to be in right now, and ive heard more then Blenheim interested in Hopkins, will be interesting to see what happens.

[brad 36]

there was talk before the season of him going to caledonia as well hence why im saying lets wait and get the official news before jumping the gun
