Given that and workload on Parsons, Rangers may start the BUG (Schaubel) in net since Kitchener plays at 4pm Saturday in Brampton

That would be nice. Schaubel has been pretty good for you guys too though right?

 

[East Avenue Bully]

He's been good and he's been green at times. Kinda worried since it seems like weeks since his last start, Parsons been getting all the net time as of late.

Last weekend was a 3/3 Fri/Sat/Sun with one of the games in Barrie, where Schaubel played hockey. Parsons got all 3

Nice to see a bunch of Flint fans in OS , altho I suspect many are players families.
Spoke with a lady who came from Flint, first time in OS !
I trust her journey home was uneventful .

Both McCue and Kurowski scored for their new teams which was fitting .
McCue was succesful in getting under the skin of every Attack player .

Nolan Collins to Penn State.

Yeah, we knew that a month ago.

Yeah, we knew that a month ago.

I saw that on the OHL’s site and thought “What the hell? Get with it OHL.”

Really didn’t expect them to get 3pts this weekend so anything against Kingston tonight would just be a bonus. They could really use Collins back. I wonder what’s up with him?

All I know is I think Connor Mallon has taken over as the worst official I've seen all year. Holy shit this dude sucks.

Bender sucks.

Hay is a little baby.

Looking at the standings I think it’s pretty far-fetched to believe they can close 9pts on Saginaw with 18 games remaining. Erie? Maybe but unlikely. That would put them as a 5 seed and facing Saginaw anyway who I don’t think they could beat in a 7 game series. Although Day always plays his best hockey in the playoffs and Oke has been pretty bad this year for whatever reason. 6 seed would have them facing Kitchener who they’ve beat but also got blown out by. 7 seed will have them facing Windsor. Probably a sweep. 8 seed, London. Sweep. It’s a first round exit regardless. I wish they would get the kids that are going to be here next year a little more icetime so they could develop. Having that 2008 hole where Zurawski used to be is going to hurt. Especially when he’s ripping it up in the next couple years.

I wonder if we’re looking at a no Collins, Thibodeau, McCue weekend. Won’t be easy if they’re missing their top 3 players.
