Generalsupdates won't say it but it's our defensive play in our own end,thank God on some nights we have Keyser in net.Oh and finally, again what’s the Gen’s glaring weakness in your estimation?

Thanks, from what I’ve seen I agree. Anyway something I truly believe is undervalued regarding the Wolves success this year is their defensive play (yes aside from Ukko). Seems way ahead of schedule considering the median age of our D. Have to credit the coaching staff but look at yesterday. Despite eight PP opportunities against, they limited the Dogs shots and chances and outshot them 44-34. No one talks about that.Generalsupdates won't say it but it's our defensive play in our own end,thank God on some nights we have Keyser in net.
Good point, it’s a developmental league after all.It junior hockey no team is perfect.

Just happened to come across this today. Is this probably a one-off thing? Or is there going to be a broadcast issue for the rest of the season? Seems weird that the Gens are directing questions and concerns to Rogers TV Durham rather than saying there will be no broadcast for today only and that they'll be back for the next home game.
Has an ankle/foot injury and had a walking case on that was taken off last week,Don't know if he will see any games this season but I sure do hope.Anyone know why Lleyton Moore hasn't suited up in a month since the trade to Oshawa?
As sebjhockey mentioned in the Rangers forum, a Rogers employee had told him that Rogers is scaling back coverage this season, ranging from 2 games (that would otherwise have been broadcast) being scrapped from broadcast up to 10ish for a team like Ottawa. Next year it's supposed to be 5 games being scrapped for teams like Kitchener. I assume the Gen's are redirecting questions to Rogers because this is 100% Rogers decision.

Wow. I hadn't heard of Rogers cutting the number of broadcasts from some teams. That sucks for fans across the OHL. I wonder if Cogeco would want to swoop in and take over broadcasts in any of those regions. Also seems odd that Rogers would cut the number of broadcasts while they are tying to promote CHL hockey on a national scale with the Canada/Russia Series, Saturday CHL Showcase games, Top Prospects game, and the Memorial Cup.As sebjhockey mentioned in the Rangers forum, a Rogers employee had told him that Rogers is scaling back coverage this season, ranging from 2 games (that would otherwise have been broadcast) being scrapped from broadcast up to 10ish for a team like Ottawa.

Why is Franche not playing? He was out in the warm up but then listed as a scratch for tonight's game. He has missed quite a few of the recent games.
Tonight's game got a little sloppy after the 1st period. Thankfully Michael Little decided to make his presence known with a dumb check from behind late in the 3rd.
My one pet peeve is the lack of support with this team. That hit on Keyser got no response from anyone. I get taking the high road and settling for a PP, but our powerplay is pretty awful some nights so its not like were guaranteed to make them pay on that (which we didn't). When it comes to someone who's as important as Keyser, I would like to see some sort of response. Don't want to set a precedent that its ok for teams to get rough in his crease.
Who do you want to go after Paquette? The Gens don't have a Sean Allen who isn't a great player but is there to fight, it's not how the league is played anymore. For Serron Noel to go after Paquette just to face wash him. Now you don't get a PP, Paquette doesn't care because it's not like he just got beat up and now your NHL 2nd rounder is off the ice for 2 minutes. And I don't think Keyser would be thinking "I just got run over but thank god Serron rubbed his face after". The response is to score on the powerplay. It didn't happen on the Paquette one but look at the Little hit. In previous years Sean Allen jumps Little after that hit and it's 4-on-4. Instead the Gens tell him he's an idiot and then score the game winning goal on the powerplay. I promise you that Little having to skate back to the bench with is head between his legs and feeling like the biggest clown in the arena after the McShane PPG is far better than a Gens player face-washing him after that hit and getting 4-on-4
Ya I understand. It's just tough to see Keyser down on the ice and Paquette casually skating to the penalty box.
It feels like its Walters who preaches not to get involved in that kind of stuff. I'm sure if someone ran over Jones, Fraser/Little/Merkley would be throwing punches. For the most part, the Gens ignore a lot of the extra circular stuff. Fraser spent the game chasing hits and hacking at everyone that made him look bad. You would think someone would eventually retaliate with a slash back, but Walters has the whole team ignoring that stuff.
