Your lineup would assume that Sirman would be back at D (which I don't disagree with BTW).
But I wonder if that is what they are going to do?
And if he does go back, seems he would need some games in to get refamiliarized there before the playoffs?

Seems to me Sirman would have more of an impact as a defensemen.
But because of the surplus of Defense when Smyth is back, would they want to have as much depth as possible in the 4 forward lines?

Not sure which scenario is bets.

I'm also curious as to what Cameron's plans are for Sirman the rest of the season. Depends on Smyth I guess. I think he's best used as a defensman, although I think he's performed admirably on the wing. If/when Smyth is back and healthy and IF Sirman is moved back to defense, we would have (what I think is) a really strong top-6, with Mews and Marrelli healthy scratched but ready to come off the bench if someone is injured or isn't performing well.

Alternatively If/when Smyth is back, and when Barlas is back, Cameron may choose to keep Sirman at forward and use Mews as the 6th defenceman. Nothing wrong with that. Assuming Sirman is part of the 18-man skater group every game (which he should be), it would be a trade-off between dressing Mews or either Kelly or Dever. Every indication is that Cameron would lean towards dressing Mews I believe, leaving Sirman at forward.

Beck - Morrison - Gerrior
Pinelli - Rohrer - Boucher
Foster - Tolnai - Stonehouse
Barlas - Gardiner - Sirman

Mayich - Matier
Mintyukov - Constantini
Smyth - Mews

Scratched:
Kelly
Dever
Marrelli
Ewles
Horner

While I think your 3 forward lines are ok I have issue with Sirman.

He needs to be moved back to defence. As I have stated and unless you know differently we have o idea when or if Smyth is coming back and how long it will take for him to get in game shape.
Sirman has better skills if Smyth comes back then play him and Smyth together

As to which of the rookies play i think that they have to decide that themselves. by showing Cameron who the better player is.

I think at the moment you rotate Mews Marelli, Ewle and Horner to see who is the less of a liability

I would assume Smyth is close as he has been practicing with the team.

My very strong preference would be to see Sirman back on defense, but not sure if Cameron sees it that way. He's been playing Mews and Marrelli (and Ewles and Horner) regularly and they've been a defensive liability imo. Cameron could have easily moved Sirman back to help out against stronger opponents like NB or Pboro but he hasn't done that.

I would like the 3rd defense pairing to be much stronger defensively going into the playoffs. Having Smyth back will help (as per the post above mine, it sounds like it will happen at some point), and a Smyth/Sirman third pairing would put us in a very good position going into the playoffs.

I was informed by a well-known poster on this board that Mews can play forward. Maybe we see Mews at forward (4th line wing) when everyone is back and healthy? Or flex Mews and Sirman, and the other surplus defensemen, in the lineup depending on the opponent? Mews adds some value offensively in his ability to play the PP, so I doubt we'll see him scratched. Just a matter of where he can be sheltered in the lineup imo.

Does anyone know the prognosis on Barlas? I didn't realize he'd be out for any length of time.

Sirman and Smyth would be my choice for the 3rd pairing.

Mews is not going to play forward if he were it would have happened.

I see Mews Marelli Ewle and maybe horner playing for the 7th D and getting spot time in games once everyone is back.

it would be nice to be able to have players that can fill in for a game if one of the regulars gets hurt.

Don't know if you're aware but Mews played a few games at forward earlier this year and quite well...scored two goals in one game I believe. So not saying it's the best option but if they want him in the lineup it is an option.

If Sirman / Smyth are third pairing, Mews 4th line winger and used on Second PP unit.

Defensively, down the stretch and into the playoffs I would like to see that a lot more than the opposite (Mews at D and Sirman at F). And I have a slight preference for Mews over Kelly or Devers simply due to his ability to play the PP or take shifts on D if anyone gets hurt.
 
Should be 3-2, Windsor's second goal clearly was onside as seen cleary on the replay on the 67's tv broadcast, refs don't even review it, what a joke.

Well "doom and gloomers"...
Yes Gatineau handed it to us and was superior.

But in the OHL, 67s have won 9 in a row

I did not know he played forward but I still think that depending on who does what going down the stretch we will see Mews or Marelli as the 7th D in the playoffs.

Just came back from the game so haven't had a chance to review the play so I'll take your word for it the play was onside. However what I can tell you is the lineman 's arm went up immediatly to blow it dead so the play is automatically dead and although it may have been a mistake I don't think it's reviewable.

It was not reviewable... and it probably was not off-side.

I do like the review to the Boucher alleged hit to the head.
Penalty was called back, and it was deemed a clean hit, Finally a nice break for Boucher!

Blown dead is blown dead. The linesman came right over to tell the ref. I had no idea what was going on, but the play was weird and the players reacted as if the whistle had gone. We never saw a replay at the arena.

I agree about Boucher. All of the replays showed that it wasn't even a penalty. Very rare for the officials to review and totally overturn a Match Penalty. Up to then it was a pretty good game.

These things happen all the time. The impact on the game was minimal. The Spitfire coaches are probably more concerned with 50 shots against, 0-3 on the PP, and giving up 8 unanswered goals on a less than two periods of hockey between Thursday and Friday. I thought Windsor looked like a solid team and a great contender for the West Conference title if not the League, but in the same funk as Ottawa suffered through. I take it Wright is injured.

I was surprised at how bad their defense was. They seemed to be standing around a lot. 67s forecheck forced a lot of turnovers. Windsor had spurts in the O zone, but they didn't look like a top 10 team, overall.
 
Smyth must be close to returning...tonight maybe? Big article on the 67's site. Looking forward to having his size back in the lineup and on our third pairing.
