Battlefords offensive depth is too deep. 14 players with 10 or more goals. ( most in league). need to keep puck out, but I think they will win series.

MEL would be the team from the bottom 4 I would least want to play if I were BAT.
Neither team is the same as last year!
MEL in 6 max IMO!

Should be a great series. To me it’s a coin toss. Hard to picture Kian Bell finishing SJ career with a first round loss. On the other hand Melville plays so d**n hard and suppress offence very effectively.

I think this could be the first round upset.
Stars have some fire power but Doug will have his boys playing tough boring D that will frustrate the Stars. They'll start pressing and the Mills will pounce and take advantage of the mediocre D and Goaltending for Battleford.
Money men will be money and take it in 6. If it goes 7 Stars will take it at home.

Better lose the bad habits quickly or it’ll be a first round exit! His one is to close to call!

Melville in 6. Why not.... watched them a few times the past few weeks and i love their game right now , it's a ferocious forecheck , playoff ready IMO. I'd say Melville in 7 but i'm not sure they'd win a Game 7 in in NB. Best 1st round series of the bunch i believe.

Melville has been hard on the Stars all season, winning 3 out of four games. Out scoring the Stars 15-14 so very close that way.
Will be a great series but the Stars had better be ready to play as a team.
Looking forward to watching DJ losing it on the bench when something doesn’t go his way. Fun times! 🙂

He sold the  out of the initial hit, then bounced off his teamate and with his apple on th 4th goal he was obviously fine. |

Hits to the head, is not something to take lightly…

If you watch the video, you can see that it's actually Bell's own player who whiplashes after the initial hit. The hit was not a 5 major penalty, only because the player sold it.

Mabins hit around the 16 minute mark has zero head contact , so are you considering the play at the end of the game “lots of cheap shots” & “hitS to the head”

Doug’s teams are no joke in the playoffs. Especially if they have some grit. Sayy th what you want about Doug flipping out …. But he gets screwed over a LOT…. As shown again by coach of the year award. Not sure what the league has against one of their best coaches but he ends up in the ty end of a lot of calls. I’m the end I think battleford will win but they won’t come out of this series without wounds that’s for sure. Best series of the first round for sure. |

Doug trying to fight the refs in the parking lot after a game a few years ago might have something to do with him not getting any favours from the refs 🤔🧐 |

League has changed the penalty to 2 minutes hit to the head and a 10 minute misconduct. Staying down like that has always been a pet peeve of mine, I don’t like it! BS play in my opinion. A question I have is, why was Bell on the ice in the last two minutes of the game with a 2 goal lead? He was a target all game. Who is calling the shots on the bench? Should be a good game tonight! Looking forward to Doug loooosing it! 🤪 |

It was 3-1 at 18:22 of the third period. Should have kept him on the bench at that point |

Gutsy win by the stars, bad penalties at end could have cost them but they held on. Will be tough down south, Melville plays a good hard game!

I am not piling on in a hawks thread I am making a relevant comment on an unrelated topic. Doug’s team are not an easy out in the playoffs and they are proving it …. Unlike our bag of dirty laundry that was hired. You want to let the fire go out then leave it cuz I have plenty of gasoline …. |
