f*** it. Get this guy a contract and call him up.

Not sure about calling him up as I have not watched more than highlights on this guy but he sure seems like a find. Someone to possibly get excited about.
Coming into the A i was excited to see what Petrov could become ....what happened there?

@McDNicks17 's post 207 says a lot. London is not like a typical OHL team. They run more like a pro squad, and when they have the talent that they do this year the role that O'Reilly has is actually very important. Their top line is incredibly good.
I have to agree with you. Though I tremble in my boots disagreeing with Oilcup with a bazillion posts and another guy with Moderator splashed across his Avatar (does this make him head Gladiator?) it looks as though from the 3 or 4 parts of games I have seen (am far from any expert on the London Knights) that someone specifically from the Oilers might have gone to the Hunters and said 'Develop this guys two way defensive game'. Not sure that the Hunters would even listen.
As an aside -- if we ever find the courage to fire Mr. Schwartz -- and i know he is not specificaly a goalie coach but Rob Simpson could do a lot of good in our organization.

People have been saying it for awhile, but there's a couple posters that get very defensive over the idea.
I think that's directed at me haha, but I still think it's easily a player issue more than a coach issue.

People complained that Chaulk needed to play Bourgault, Tullio and Savoie more. They leave the team and now they're on the 4th line, being healthy scratched and in the ECHL.

Talented players produce under Chaulk. I just don't think they've had all that many talented players down there recently.

Why end of season? These are some big developmental seasons for a few guys who the organization feels should be pushing for roles on the big club as soon as next season.

Doubt the team does anything in season in Bako and there’s probably a better selection of personnel available off season I would think.

Actually, no. It wasn't directed at you. I didn't know your opinion on him before.

But now that I do..HOW DARE YOU

I haven't been a fan of Chaulk since he was often giving BOTH back to back games to Pickard while Rodrigue, who desperately needed gametime, was often sitting from the bench. It's part of the reason why at 24, Rodrigue has still only played 100 games.

Not great with the Condors flailing. Need the Prospects to develop in a positive environment. We had good vibes when Vinny, Clouder, and Skinner were coming up. Who knows where Savoie's production could be with a better team.

I don't watch Bako so can't speak to the problem. Do they need to bring in more effective AHL vets? Get rid of Chaulk? Woody's probably bored, lets bring him back.
