This has to be my favourite lineup all year so far. And in my opinion it’s our best. Looking good so far. SOG are 2:1
Parsons looks sharp tonight.
Dickinson needs to be benched for a game…..he must love desserts the way he pumps out those turnovers.
Sim is this seasons mvp so far, and is getting better.

Medvedev is fighting the puck. Rebound control has been below his normal standard. Hes reaching at the puck instead of letting it come to him. Still one of the best 17yr old goalies to come through the organization.

Scoring is also a problem when we play windsor/ kitchener. Nicholl/ o'reilly, Cowan i think should've either improved on from their stats last year or at least kept pace but I've been a bit disappointed in them this season thus far.

Nicholl has already doubled his numbers from last year. Not sure how much you expect from him. I have been beyond happy with his play this year. Sam will likley surpass his point total from last year but I thought he'd do more but not hating his play. He's an absolute workhorse. Easton.....no comment.
 
Not playing our best hockey of late, but we'll return to form.
Important 2 points...I don't think we'll relinquish first overall.
Cowan extends streak.
Remember Ariel, 19 teams are looking up at us.

A much better effort tonight. The offensive finish (and PP) need some polish and the defensive turnovers need improvement but a good game overall. There are other teams in the league that are very good too and winning won’t be easy. Facing difficult games at this time of the season is a good thing. Hope it’s nothing serious with Julien.

Fatigue is starting to show for Bonk, Dickinson and Cowan.

They’ve played A LOT of hockey over the past 2.5yrs. Lots of mental mistakes causing numerous turnovers.

They honestly could all use a week off. Call it an injury or something. Just need some load management before the playoffs we all know how good they can be and they need to be fresh for the playoffs. We definitely have a lot of talented players who are hungry to get in the lineup.

Btw very impressed by the physical play of Woolley and Halttunnen. I hope they can teach BMO to also hit a bit and utilize his size. In reality for most of these kids adding the physicality to their game will bode well for them in the pro ranks and perhaps open up more doors

Awesome goal by Woolley. He has good hands for a big man. He’s an under appreciated Guy back there cause he’s pretty much a defensive D and he plays a mainly unnoticed game (good for a defensive D). I love what he does back there. He’s a valuable part of this D core and will be heavily relied upon next season.

Good point, and I think Hunter will manage their ice time when we're close to clinching conference, maybe even insert Fagan and Spencer into the lineup.

Windsor/London X2 the last week of the season. I could see both teams resting players for those games if both are locked into the standings which does look like that will happen. Now if there is a tight race to the finish there could be some fun games. Be safe.

Fatigue comes from players like Cowan playing nearly a full 2 minutes every pp until he gets his point. They also spend alot of energy on trying to ensure Cowan gets a touch before they take a shot on net. They bypass opportunities and that has to wear them down with the extra focus on Cowan's potential point.
