Hopefully nothing comes back to bite us and we can roster a full squad on Tuesday.

I don't think there will be any suspensions. (Unless they review the hit on Missile) The refs were basically handing out misconducts to get the players off the ice.

True. Not even one fight. Just a lot of roughing up each other.

Not sure I've seen a Sarnia game where I haven't wondered how on earth Letang was picked to coach the world junior team not that long ago.

Surprising choice indeed

His in game line changes only made things worse for Sarnia today. I'll never get over him not playing Rehkopf more last year.

Noticed they had Dirracolo line up on the wing for the draw following the cross check.

You're missing Pridham in the 05 fwd list. It's 17 plus Cameron

Correct…updated.

 

[EvenSteven]

I think we’ve used 23 cards to date.

Bilecki has used an A card.

Unsure on Schaubel. Under the new rules, I believe we have to be down to 4 08’s on A cards by Jan 1st? He’s appeared in 6 games. Once he hits game 11, I believe he’ll be on an A card. This may be why they are holding his starts back? To hold off on using an A card on him til they have to? In the event an 08 or two unexpectedly reports? If games he’s the backup count, then he’s the 24th A card.

Headrick hasn’t played a regular season game. Hasn’t used a A card yet.

Anstis hasn’t used a card yet.

Cameron is not on an A card.

 

[EastAveRangers]

I think the question would be, is Haeden Ellis worth even using a player card on? He isn’t a top prospect. They have Evan Headrick coming back at some point. Avry Antstis is nearing a return. Mattheas Stark will be back at some point. Eduard Sale has an outside shot of being returned. Point being, there isn’t room for him. I get it, he’s an 07 which is what they’re trying to build around. But if he’s adamant on the NCAA route, he wouldn’t even be sticking it out in the OHL anyways, so what’s the point?
