Aboflan over Boulton is probably the better lineup choice. I have nothing against Boulton but I think Aboflan is the more skilled player. But each have positive impacts to the lineup.
I just noticed that Boulton did have trouble keeping up with RVB and EVG as they are both speedsters.i do think Abo is a better skater. They’ll probably rotate them and Noah Read as well in and out of the lineup. All are capable OHL players. I just really like what Abo brings to the table
Owen Sound can max out at 78 points and Guelph at 79 points, that is not factoring in games against each other, just max points from games remaining. So, we are 2 points from clinching a playoff spot.
That is the big reason Erie is one of the only teams that scare me in the West. Erie is vastly under performing and they have arguably the best goalie in the West if you do not look purely at the numbers. I think Erie has the better team top to bottom than Kitchener player wise, but Kitchener just seems to be able to play well above their means. Maybe good coaching does that??
Did that happen on Friday night against Erie? I got to the game late. Work related matters.
No, but the tariffs were not official then. It happened tonight at the Sens game and will no doubt gain momentum. Personally I don't have an issue with it per se, I don't think the anthems should be played at sporting events anyway unless it's international competition. But booing when kids are singing is wrong. Unfortunately that won't stop people.
A smart move for now would be to suspend singing the anthems for a while but that’s not going to happen. Teams will have to announce to respect the singers and take out your anger and frustration in a different way in a different place. For example check the label and if it says “made in the USA” put it down and purchase something else. And put your travel dollars elsewhere. But please don’t boo children during a special moment in their young lives.
Ok, for starters he is way off his pace for goals from last year. For a guy with a great wrist shot, he should have more goals. It’s what you expect from an OA who isn’t a physical player. He has very little physical presence and in fact any bit of physicality and he often slashes or uses hit stick against the other player. Ever notice how he carry’s his stick in scrums and when the whistle goes? Straight up in the air…it’s a tactic to keep guys away from you.
According to the OHL website it’s three. 46 vs 49. (It’s two between LDN and Spits 47 vs 49)

He’s a decent skater for sure, but he quits on plays too early. Watch for it. He floats quite a few times a game.
These are the things I see, this is why I have the opinion that he could and should be doing better. He has the talent.
Hes not going anywhere but if his play doesn’t improve then I’m sure ice time will reflect it. He’s had some flashes of brilliance over the past couple weeks. I’d love for him to hustle more and shoot more. Everyone will benefit.
Hopefully FP didn’t read this or the tears will flow because I expressed a negative opinion.
Although Nelli did say Bruz needs work on His defensive game, and there was no outcry of horror so maybe it’s selective protectionism.
Anyways, there…you wanted details, you got it. And to quote the famous FP….”IMO”

Massive game. Games vs Kit, Win, Bar, Osh seem to mean more these days
