Random Thoughts:
Luca D'Amato legacy game??
Gens continue to own Kingston, and more specifically Nolan Lalonde, this season.
I really do think the game changed when Ritchie threw that bad hit on Gage Heyes and nobody on Kingston stepped in and stood up for him. At minimum it's a chance to get to fight Ritchie (he would've had to after that hit) and you get one of the best players in the league off the ice for 7 minutes, but also showing you'll stand up for your guys. Yet they did nothing and KGN very soon after that fell apart. That's one of those little things that quickly becomes a big thing when you don't play the game the right way. On the other side, Burns with a shift where he keeps taking late slashes/hits on guys and O'Tool immediately jumps on the ice and the fight. Does he do it too often? Yes. But the intention is clear and helps form the identity of the team. Couldn't believe nobody on KGN stood up for Heyes, especially with Ritchie of all people throwing the hit.
Gens now just 1 point out of 1st in the conference, and have played 1 fewer game than Kingston.
How are a member of the Canada brass and watch that game, against the 1st place team in the conference, and not say yeah we definitely need Beckett Sennecke on the WJ team?
Keep refreshing your phones tomorrow Gens fans!
