You could have stopped there.

2 forward three back sounds more like line dancing, but whatever. I got my answer. Thank you.

Carry on the enlightening discourse!
good to here from you grasshopper.. maybe you can pass soma that enlightenment to the other fellers here..we're only just beginning.. but remember now.. flattery will get you nowhere...
 
Getting back to the on ice product........ a terrible game to day in Mississauga!!!!

Very few players came to play today. Storm record now sits at .500 10 wins 10 losses and a +2 goal differential. Hardly what you would expect from a team that is suppose to contend. When you look at the roster there just seems to be too many players that are under performing. Chayka was a bright spot playing a solid game. I would like to see him get regular playing time with some PP time included.

Chayka...yes indeed
 
Initial thoughts are not good as I am not convinced that the Storm should be "going for it" this year. They should be protecting their assets as best they can. Pretty tough to see a kid get shipped out when there are players on this team getting significant more playing time and based on results it does not seem warranted.

As for scouting report.....my opinion is you are getting a big kid that skates well but has not developed a scoring touch at this level yet. He seems to work hard each game and with increased playing time and responsibility could develop into an excellent forward in this league.
 
Primeau... this IMO..is rooted way back in pre season..with a few other players and a SIGNIFICANT agent..expect more trade.. ..another brain STORM (fart).... you hada fine collection of young talent to develop..now lets see IF you can make the playoffs...wishing you well Mason..

Good to see at least one other person call a loss a loss. It is always frustrating to see hockey people call an overtime or shootout loss a TIE. All extra time wins are counted as wins. They may get a point for OT, but it is still a loss.
15 teams should not be considered over the 0.500 winning percentage in a 20 team league.

eggzactly..
 


I mean he'd warrant a large amount of picks, projected to be a 2-3 round pick this year.

If the price is right, otherwise he'll go to a top tier NCAA program. Michigan and North Dakota are rumoured.

I'd say either a good prospect, maybe even one of your goalies, or a couple of seconds and a third. I honestly don't think it gets done for less considering London has way more than enough picks to do this without damaging their future.
 
Primeau off to North Bay

Storm now own 6 second round picks over the next 4 drafts
6 in 4?..total?..beginning to sound if you look past the flash and hype:...this run to the top... is done... ..They just spent 4 seconds in one shot + thirds for a single basic + D....We shall see....

Guelph almost certainly gets back ‘19 conditional 2nd from SBY as Lalonde was not NHL drafted
 
an 8-2 win and not one post??? 6-1 after one , glad to see the rookies get so much ice time in the third. Hope McFarlane hits his growth spurt soon lol!
Been a while since we've seen such dominance in the dot- 52/75 faceoffs won.
Commiso 17-27
Kirwin 16/22
Hillis 9/13
Hawel 5/7
Poirier 3/3

Finally I hope Dellandrea is OK- he got nailed with a solid but legal hit -it looked like shoulder to chest which may have caused his chin to drop down and hit the shoulder pad.
