Why move any of them without seeing what we have first.

Opportunity cost.

We can field a pretty good shootout squad with Savoie, Quinn, Tage, Olofsson, Rosen, etc.

 

[Chainshot]

Had an assist earlier, just picked up a short-handed goal.

He can definitely shoot the puck

 

[Chainshot]

9-14-23 in his last 14 games (since the start of December) is a nice uptick in production from his slow start. Doesn't hurt that his linemate Benson has 11 goals and 30 points in that same span but they work really well together.

Ooof.. that D on the goal

He is looking at Canada's World Cup team and looking to get on the pitch -

Watched the entire sunday game vs Calgary Hitmen.

Savoie by no means had a bad game; his whole line just didn't do much in general. Lot of forcing and sloppy passing.

3 games in 3 days this weekend. Ends up 1-2-3.

I'm only in the first period of today's game.

 

[Chainshot]

Two more assists tonight thus far. Ice up 4-2 on the Blades. I have had an eye on it.

Benson's goal to make it 4-2 was amazing.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

If anyone sees a headline that says "Savoie injured," don't panic like I did -- his brother is the injured player.

 

[Chainshot]

Beauty goal on a feed from Lambos and Benson, makes up a bit for Benson's turnover that put Brandon up 2-1 a few minutes ago.

He won't get an assist, but he is partially responsible for the Ice scoring their 4th goal, winning the draw and connecting the play to Zloty, who feeds Benson, who finds Geekie who finishes the play.

Him and Shipley in a scrum behind the net on the next faceoff after Pasternak gives Benson some late shoves while he's down behind the net.

 

[DustyZ]

He seemed to be pretty good in the faceoff circle from what I remember in camp

 

[Chainshot]

Wins the puck battle and feeds his linemate McClennon net front -

 

[Chainshot]

The Ice are such a wagon - on a night when the "top line" with Savoie in the middle has amounted for 1 goal on 7 shots, the Ice "other" lines have put up 7 (3 and 3 for each of their other scoring lines and 1 from their 4th line).

 

[Chainshot]

When the boss talks about hard skill -

 

[Chainshot]

Draws back to even on the night as a Winnipeg PP ends and McClennon scores before the Hitmen player could get back into the play. Savoie driving the lane again was the "other" option if McClennon missed the puck.

 

[Gabrielor]

Finishes 1-1-2 +1, on a high event evening (7-6 win)

next game Saturday vs the Oil Kings
