Tough loss to The Ed but there were some positives to take from the week. Not the least of which was a sterling NHL debut for Elias Pettersson. #IceHL

0-2 start after dropping a forgettable matchup to @MattyMammoths by like 50 points. Up next are the Seattle Aviators #IceHL

Disappointing showing from our defensemen so far...Hopefully Pettersson isn't out long after an impressive start for the rookie...MAF's huge shutout vs PHI was really nice to see... #IceHL

Congrats to Seattle Aviators on their week 3 win. Even most of the week, but a 60 point Saturday from Seattle left us in the wake. #IceHL

Don't think we've ever started a season 0-3...Depth is clearly an issue...Trade Block is open... #IceHL

Feels good to finally get a W...Keepers came through as top 3 scorers this week...Complimentary scoring was much better too...Pettersson makes his return from injury #IceHL

Back to back wins...Pettersson named NHL 2nd star of the week (38pts)...consistent scoring from forward group...still need more from our defense...chance to get back to .500 this week vs. North Carolina Nighthawks #IceHL

Streaking with 3rd W in a row...back to .500...3-3 looks pretty good after an 0-3 start...Duchene with a big 7 point week (2-5-7)...Heiskanen getting good TOI and now top PP in DAL with Klingberg out...@Beasts71 our week 7 opponent #IceHL

4 straight and we're over .500 for the first time this season...Fleury shutout vs ANA...Duchene and Malkin 5 point weeks...Pietrangelo 15 BS...Ready for Washington Sentinels to bring it in week 8 #IceHL

230 point total for the week is our season high...72 point Monday got the matchup off to a great start...5 players hit 20 points, 1 with 19...Casey DeSmith joins the team while Matt Murray is down...5 straight wins has us at 5-3...looking for 6 in a row vs Houston Hellcats #IceHL

5 week streak comes to an end... Klefbom led the team in points...Pittsburgh struggles coinciding with Malkin's scoreless week...Fleury managed a couple wins...not nearly enough to match Houston Hellcats 210 points...@MattyMammoths is our week 10 opponent #IceHL

Back in the win column...EP40 named NHL first star of the week...MAF with 3 more wins...Tkachuk, Heiskanen with solid weeks...Klefbom's production has improved since Hitch took over in EDM...Petro and Duchene injuries hurt, but we'll go hard vs Helsinki Lynx 🐈 anyway #IceHL

Young guns finish the Cats 200-170...Tkachuk, Pettersson, Chiasson, Petry 20+ point weeks...Wins from Fleury and DeSmith...Malkin and Tarasenko a bit sleepy lately...Duchene return immanent...Matchup of 7-4 records this week vs. Boston Colonials #IceHL

Just noticed its a matchup of the brothers Tkachuk this week. Matthew v Brady for the Baby Walt Cup. #IceHL

Tough stretch for us going 0-2 recently. Close one vs Boston Colonials then a blow out by IceHL Steelcats...need to break the streak against a tough Alaska Huskies squad...Injuries have hurt, but really just not getting enough production from our top skaters... #IceHL

TRADE ANOUNCEMENT: We managed to get in a deal before the deadline with IceHL Steelcats. We welcome long time target for the Archers, Logan Couture, and thank Matthew Tkachuk for his efforts, and wish him well in Hamilton. #IceHL

So glad I could get young Walt back on track by trading him away.

A .500 season and just missing the playoffs is definitely a disappointing result, but finishing the season with 3 straight wins has given us some solace. Congrats to Houston Hellcats on their emphatic championship win! #IceHL

We managed to draft much of last season's core. Malkin, Tarasenko, Pietrangelo, Couture remain Archers for 2019-20. Disappointed Pettersson isn't back though.
