It's crazy that they just keep rolling without 2 of their best players.

6-0 with Lardis out. I think I've said it in a previous comment, but since Christmas (and especially the trade deadline) they have been incredibly structured.
Love the current D pairings. Chen was good enough when Roberts was out.
The Vanacker-O'Brien--Lavoie line has been awesome.
Egorov with 2 solid starts in a row.
They're really playing well. PP still sucks, really miss Lardis there.

I have to give Noah Roberts credit. I never thought that I would get to a point where I would be comfortable with him as part of the top 6, but he has really cut down on turnovers and has done a good job with Okitundu on the third D pairing.

He has been playing alot (too many) of back to backs so Egorov can have the easier games when they are on the road.
Whole team looks gassed.

Yeah Ive really like Drobacs game this year. He played really well last playoff vs Colts, hopefully Bulldogs can get egorov in there more. He did well last night in relief

Personally I didn't think it deserved a suspension. He does need to use better judgement though. The outcome could have been a lot worse.

Reffing was pretty suspect the whole game, for both teams.
Was a little surprised Xhekaj went at VV like that. Arber was at the game, (near me, what a big human he is) so maybe he had an extra jump tonight.
Anyone know how many fights Florian is at now? He may be at or over his limit.
7-1 with Lardis out. PP is so so bad though.

Will be hard to match the intensity of yesterday. The quick turnaround is probably a good thing.
We'll see how Drobac handles the back-to-back (I assume it's him today).
Edit: looks like Egorov today. Hope he keeps it going.

No idea. I didn't know that was a thing either.
Big start for Egorov today. If he can get some confidence and prove to be viable for next season it would be huge for the Bulldogs.
It would also be important this year to because they can lighten Drobacs workload.
It makes sense to rotate goalies today. Huge game in Oshawa tomorrow night.

It's 4 boarding penalties. No idea if it resets after a suspension.
Egorov has been good lately, but all on the road. I think he's going to be fine, they are at least handling him right.
1 weekend, but if they can get through it well, it'll feel huge.
Roberts is huge liability on our D. Constant penalties, kills any momentum we can get. It'll only get worse as games get harder.

Other than the penalties yesterday and today, I think he's been pretty good lately.
I don't like him paired with Chen, but options are slim with Protz out.

The last 2 games he has been bad, but overall he has improved.
Not a fan of Chens game, but he is a forward convert so hopefully next year there is some improvement.

It's almost unfair to Chen to say that my expectations at the start of the year had him fine as the #7, and now that the team is actually where they are, he's a big concern.
Any injuries on D and this team is in trouble.
What's going on with Testa? Started hot but has cooled off after his injuries. Still battling an injury?

IMO, he's not playing with skilled guys and isn't working as hard as the guys he is with. Too many little pokes at the puck hoping for a good bounce instead of forcing himself into good results.
