Good game tonight. Outplayed the gens just unfortunately oster stole them the game.
I noticed in the second period when the gens scored 2 goals there were FAR too many odd man rushes. You give any team let alone Oshawa that many odd man rushes and they’ll capitalize.
Battaglia is gonna put up a lot of points this year (as I’ve predicted all along)
LOVE Pieniniemi. He plays like a real pro. As he gets more used to North American style hockey I’m sure he will get even better and better.
Griffin on the gens is gonna be a big breakout player this year I predict. Not sure how many points he will get exactly but if he plays like he did tonight- it’s gonna surprise a lot of people.
Thought it was interesting both delisle and bedkowski were playing today(rumoured to be going to Owen sound for Barlow)
My point was not if he can score. It was the fact that he has any quality that is going to be watched and wanted by the top teams . He will also not be cheap.
He’s gonna be very expensive for (hopefully the fronts) any team obviously. However one of the most important aspects of a trade like that is pushing the depth further down the lineup.
Guindon for example would be on the second line I assume then Hopkins/mcnamara line 3 as the centre.
Helps even out the scoring more and when they play teams that aren’t as deep(like peteborough) there will be even more of a separation skill wise between the bottom 6 than there is now.
