Did it cost us a 4th and a 10th because the picks are in the future, so they're less valuable?I see the Gens have added a 5th obtaining Hamilton's 5th from Sarnia according to the OHL Media site. Also, any thoughts/ wishes for their selections tomorrow?

I'll most likely get overly excited for whatever kid they take so it doesn't really matter to me. I have preferences but I have no idea how it'll play out so I won't try.
I'd love to be a big hypocrite if they got someone like Vukojevic to report when I love complaining to myself about London.
With the win tonight the Gens are guaranteed at least 3 more home games this year.
I just have what the scouting services tweeted out but keep in mind they don't really expand what each players downfalls are (except first 4 picks i talked to a scout about). If you want me to post what they said let me know but I don't want to clog the timeline if you've already read it all.well that was ugly, they sure as hell did'nt show up for that one!!!
any info on our new drafted players!!!
I don't remember reading 'next coming of christ' anywhere. But saying that he won't be a solid addition to the team next year (if he comes) is ridiculousI'm curious what the fascination is with Deboer.
Is it because his dad is an owner and an NHL coach? Look at his numbers:

Until you actually see him play I wouldn't be so quick to hang a 'next coming of Christ' on him for next year.
Can't really disagree with any of your opinions. I think the size thing will come as guys like Noel Ennis Antropov etc are all 2000s and will beef up along with the crop from last year. Positives Ennis will be a stud. Studnica looks like he can take it to another level and Krastenbergs is a great 2nd Euro pick great shot. Listen they are being beat by a way better team that has experience speed skill. When Cirelli MVS and others were traded I expected them to drop down to 5 6. If the east wasn't so weak they would have. I feel they are playing scared to make a mistake which leads to mistakes and they look mentally drained. Remember most of these kids have never played this much hockey before. As for coaching I don't think Jones is bad and don't think team has tuned him out on purpose. I go back to mentally drained. If Brodeur can play like he can they may win another game but I'm pretty sure this series is over and that's not a bad thing. As far as crowd goes I blame the Generals ticket office for not doing any group sales and deals etc. Tuesday nights are not good but nothing you can do. I suspect a pretty low crowd for Thursday with the Leaf game as people will need to watch the only 4 playoff games they get. All in all not throwing in the towel but overall a pretty good season. Thoughts?Mississauga is the better team but they should be concerned with Mancina. He's an average goalie. Mississauga has more speed and offense and should be winning the series. Obviously with the Generals moving out all their top players they were prepared for this but are hoping for good times in the future.
The concerning parts I'm watching is really lack of hustle, finish of checks or any real physical play from the Generals. Another concern in this series is the carelessness with the puck thats happening too often. I have been at every game and there doesn't seem to be any urgency. I'm not sure if there is a disconnect with the coach but the players don't look like they are listening to any direction from the bench.
Total different feel when DJ Smith was here, even the two years before the Memorial cup team.
Just my opinion but this team seems to lack in leadership on the ice. Maybe its because they are young but the players with the letters on their jersey don't seem to be the rally the troops, get in guys faces or lead on the ice. It just seems they are going through the motions.
As a fan I was a little disappointed with crowd last night. I guess being mid week and on same night as Blue Jays home opener didn't help but really same energy there as in Mississauga last night which is embarrassing.
I have a feeling there might be a few changes after the year. This team needs to increase their size, skill, speed and get back to what the Generals were known for in previous years.
Just my opinion
