When you're still a topic of conversation the day after a game you didn't even play in just five games into a season you might have a target on your back.

I've gone years without attacking players and being careful in my posts. I've worked with kids in the O and their is still.one in the league now (with LK) if anyone is referring to any of my posts let's please discuss it.
This is getting painful to read the site.

5 games. 3 Wins. 1 Loss. 1 Shoot Out Loss. First place Midwest Division. 2nd Place in the Western Conference. All without Easton Cowan.

Most Successful GM and Coach in the league to further develop the players

And fans are complaining?
Complaining? No, activity discussing who is the odd man out when Cowan comes back it's as simple as that. some people on here want to make it about bashing a player because they clearly are bored with their own existence.

That would be a minority of fans, a minority that considers the OHL a Playstation game and that LK need to go 68-0, and/or every period while have the 6 best D, 12 best Fs and 2 best Gs in the O and trafing forvthem all lol ( yes I exaggerate....mildly ;))

Great start to the year. And agree with your post about good start we should appreciate.

I’ve never seen you do that and wouldn’t think that anyone is referring to you. I make a point not to single players out either. I have criticized parts of the organization (example - scouting being average) but that is a criticism of adults, not kids imo. And I do realize that London is a good organization overall that develops players, coaches players well and tries their best to do right by the player. All good stuff. However, If it is frowned upon to criticize any aspect of the team on this discussion board, that’s fine. I just don’t see the point in posting anymore. I would absolutely not want to be contributing negatively to anyone’s mental health. Cheers.

Really encouraged by this weekend.

NB - we had to have a team early on show us how it’s done and what level we need to get up to. Poor puck management and you could tell people haven’t gelled chemistry wise yet.

Guelph - really happy Barkey has finally broken through and figured out how to play without his twin in Cowan. It will only help his confidence and development. We really need Gazizov to be consistent this year. It will take time but he’s a wildcard. Also, really like Jackson Edward pinching in occasionally for offense. I think that will really help.

I'm guessing he'll be back by mid week

Are we allowed to discuss this?

Not sure if saying he isn't ready for the NHL crosses the line of some :) But I'll go for it anyway, yeah I think he will be back sooner rather than....
OK I'm done with this now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere that teams have to declare their cap compliant teams by Monday. So maybe cowan gets sent down then?

No lol you had to move the bodies out you took a shot at Copeland and it's been a miss so far didn't look good tonight.


You can call it ridiculous all you want but you're falling inlove with a player that has fallen down the depth chart and hasn't looked good in preseason or season so far. If this team wants to win a championship you can't have passengers who don't pull there weight.
Move Copeland for picks give him a fresh start and restock the cupboard.
London should trade Juan Copeland to Peterborough for a 5th or a 6th round draft pick. Rob Wilson has a history of taking underachieving players and turning them
Into top offensive talents. He did it with Emmett Sproule and Connor Lockhart.

Alright let’s turn the page on this “critizing players” chat. It’s consuming alot of people on here.

Looking ahead we have a 3 in 3. Gonna be a good test. Peterborough gonna be the most entertaining of them. Let’s smoke them out of there own house.

Kingston is one of the surprises that shouldn’t be a surprise at all. Just beat Ottawa and looking good. They will not be easy especially with Ludwinski back.

Sarnia will be a good test because they will work hard and have a bit more rest then us. Time to put on the work boots cuz skill isn’t just gonna win us this game, it’s Will and working hard.

Was it Dale that said this to Rick Nash??

I heard he's already passed through waivers so doubt there's a trading partner.

That isn't the most updated since robertson was sent down. I asked around and people seem to think he will be sent back by 5 today
Ah okey ! I checked the list earlier this morning and again after 2pm it seemed to have change from the earlier version, but I see now they still have a lot of cuts to make. T.Y.

Don’t under estimate the Petes. They still have a good team with a lot of talent with Owen Beck Connor Lockhart, Sam Mayer, Donovan McCoy and Connor Smith leading the way. Jax Dubois, Jonathan Melee, Brayden McCallum and Sam McCue have stepped up and have lead the offence. 1st round draft pick, Carson Cameron is playing like a veteran. They have a solid defence and good goaltending. They are a very confident group coming off their OHL championship win.
