I think Amidovski deserves a shot on the top line. Has all the tools. Also like the progress of Wilson and Carey.

Love Amidovski, only weakness I see if from the blueline to 5 feet inside the blueline at both ends.
Struggles in that spot to get the puck out of our end and if he’s going to turn it over at the other end it is in the same space.

Enright impressed me last night. Very solid on defense getting the puck out quickly.

It was a great move by the coaching staff to move him up at the expense of Turley. Enright is already solid and is only going to get better.

1 Charlie Larocque has the net. 17 returning D Tyson Rismond replaces Andrew Leblanc in the lineup. PBO’s 2nd W tonight ?? I have a bad feeling about this one.

Don't look now but Battalion are last in division and 9th in the conference and out of a playoff spot! Injuries are obviously a key factor but is it a sign of things to come?

This team was destined to be fighting for a playoff spot this season the second that they acquired Vilmanis and the Leblancs last January. Their season further looked toward that direction when they traded away 2 top OA’s early on. If they miss the playoffs our management will be disappointed but not entirely surprised.
Look at the East and honestly tell me who the Battalion is better than, Peterborough aside.
 
Local sth's will probably have more long evenings ahead but the last time the Battalion was wandering around the basement they at least came out of it with Ty Nelson. All a part of the highs and lows of junior hockey I suppose but you have to admire the year-after-year consistency of an organization like London. How they manage to do that I don't know but it would be nice to experience a long stretch of that here.

Five conference finals in ten seasons, one win and two 7 games is ok.
The battalion could be in the lottery and have 2-2nds in the next draft to develop in a timely fashion on a team that could be pretty good next season.

Speaking of 1st overall pick Nelson, how much different would the last 4 seasons have been if Fantilli had of agreed to play OHL???
