His first OHL game last year he played D, maybe he had recently made the transition when drafted. But regardless, he played D prior to the OHL. So he’s an emergency option.

My father hung me on a hook once....once.
Wooley being on the second pair scares the bejeezus outa me. But, maybe he can step up. For me I'd have Brzustewicz but what do I know....Hunter knows his stuff so trust in Dale.x.com

Just a random scout assessment I found, it says playing D three years ago, so he must have made the change the year before his draft year.
“Now, a centre- wing, O'Reilly was playing defense three years ago, and is making the most of the opportunities he is receiving in London. Not the fastest skater, he does possess strong edging and excellent stick handling. Playing centre of the second line (behind a first line destined to be NHL top selections), at the start ion February, he has amassed 15 goals (45 points) in 51 games. Not at all adverse to going into the tough areas and recovering pucks in those battles. His development as an offensive threat is impressive, but not as much as his commitment in the neutral zone and his defensive zone, where he tracks back hard on the puck and does a good job in one on one coverage. NHL scouting requested he be one of the players to be on the CHL Prospects game as there are so many indications he is developing at a steady pace.

After the effort last night I think the core four is no more.

That's what I thought. I remember him being drafted as a forward.

For sure down 1 defenseman and possibly 2 for the rest of the series/ playoffs... not good. Hopefully Jenkins and step up and be steady

A femur....that's crazy serious and requires surgery....usually even a fractured femur requires surgery. Was talking to my buddy in Ortho at the hosoital and confirmed this info from him. I don't get how he's mobile with that.

We may not have any more card(s) to fill.
We're fine with what we have, could have used another 04 defender with playoffs experience, but we do have some young bodies that are eager to pick up that experience as well. Depth can never have too much of, last season Brochu got hurt and our inexperience behind him could not hold the fort, hopefully this year if we lose one senior D our young ones can successfully replace him or them if more than one.
But I did have a good guess, didn't I

You can never have enough for sure but as long as the "Bigs" stay healthy (Dickinson, George, Bonk) they play darn near 50 % of the game anyway. The past 2 sweeps are even more valuable now .....
Time for the Masai Ujiri approach. After several seasons of adding to compliment the core and falling short he moved one of the core. The rest is history.
Agreed, Femur is no joke. Been in that spot dealing with one but not on ice ( thankfully with an advance paramedic. ) Kid wanted no part of stretcher either. I get it, and have been in similar situations on ice where kids ignored best practices lol. I'm stubborn also
so hard to blame any1 here. But should have been mobilized immediately. Tough SOB with a high pain tolerance I'm guessing. Depending where it is, which leg and how it is situated can be excruciating pain til traction if needed.
Tough end of the season.
Edward......hope he, family, whoever get whatever assistance they need.
Shoulda added Sam D solid rush from his own end creating the opportunity ( and the start of Dionicios melt down when he blew coverage. )
When it happened I kinda flashbacked to Ryan Pottruff, practically the same place on the ice. Was hoping for a better outcome for Alec as at least his foot was pointing in the right direction as he came off but not to be.Agreed, Femur is no joke.

LOL for sure our time will come but it’s somewhat refreshing not to always be the team taking questionable penalty calls at the worst times? LOL again guaranteed this is an outlier and not the new norm!!
The way London plays they should be getting more penalties. Looks like the OHL has decided who is going to win this series.

He's still playing on a bum leg.
Ohhh it has to be right....haha. The Knight are playing a heck of alot more disciplined tonight and for good reason.
He reminds me a bit of "Bigtow"
or whatever the kids name was on the Rangers defense last round?- Status
