I thought they did a great job as well. No check that, yeoman’s work which tend to get a touch stale after a while

16 wins in a row!
6-0, Medvedev with the SO...Take that Petes...that's for Trevor Cann (no, I'm still not over that trade, lol!)
Petes are one of the weakest opponents that we've faced in quite some time...that's why I don't like Van Bommel taunting their bench. It's like a UFC fighter celebrating a knockout over a senior citizen. Just don't do that.
Much tougher opponent tomorrow night.

Maybe a response to the taunting by McIntyre after that fight with Woolley?

It's a crime when Aboflan is scratched in favour of Boulton. Aboflan brings a lot to the table along with his toughness.
I didn't realize Matthew Jenken was Noah Jenken's brother (not listed on their Elite prospects pages). They would make a decent third pairing.

Looking at the team as it stands currently it’s a championship caliber team. I really don’t think any additions to the forward group or goaltending are needed. If any additions are made it would be to add two older defensive D men to take the minutes off the current top four. But if no changes are made that would be ok as well. Defence is a team game and the current roster is capable of being defensively sound while providing ample offence.

If he was trying to taunt anyone he did a pretty poor job of it as he was facing away from all the Knights players and facing the crowd.

Great, now LDN is going to be posting about trading for Jenken as much as he does about McCue.

The Pete’s acquired Jenken from Flint for a 3rd, 6th and conditional 5th (not sure the condition). This guy would solidify our bottom pair, he’s 6’4 200 and he’s an 05. Would be back as an OA next year which would be ideal to have some size/experience as Bonk will be gone, but Dickinson also might be gone.

I like Aboflan on the 4th line. He was coached by Zack Rinaldo... likely had something to do with him ending up in London. I also really like Read on that 4th line. He could possibly be in the top 6 next season.

Hawrey-Read-Aboflan would probably be the best 4th line in the league. One thing I've noticed about Read is that he's always attacking the middle. It's certainly no accident he's put up as many points as he has.

You are absolutely right, he is like Zac Ronaldo. Great comparison. We are spoiled to have the depth.
When a guy like Arrowsmith is struggling to make it into the lineup and is automatically on the second line in Niagara that tells you something.
Tonight will be tough, need to absolutely start on time. We are up against a championship goalie, and considerable star power in Kingston.

He taunted the Pete's bench...?
Why would he be looking at the Knights players if he is taunting the other team?
No doubt Abo is better than Boulton. He plays a clean game and has that physical presence needed.
Read doesn’t stop working - doesn’t give up on a play.
With the suspensions and U20 tourney invites coming up, it’s nice to have some depth. Question is, does the D have enough depth to hold the fort with Bonk and Dickinson away?

Need is a strong word, we have 7 D on the roster. So, you only need to call up one guy and I personally would like to see what Mitchell can do in some games while those guys are away.
So, they don't need to make a trade for the sake of making a trade. If they are making a deal, it needs to be made with purpose.

Because he thinks we are one man short because Dickinson and Bonk will be gone….
Woolley - Brzustewicz
Jenken - Fagan
Spencer - __________
As someone mentioned, I fully expect that Caleb Mitchell will get the call up and fill that spot.
