Ottawa 67's 2023-2024 Off-Season Thread (Part 2)

Not sure where MacKenzie was tonight; Michelone in instead.
Our 4 missing boys will make a big difference when they get back from NHL camps.
Standouts tonight:
- Houben was really visible. Big guy who can skate (a bit if a little clumsy still). Now when the coaches get some video to him and teach him to finish his check *every* time he'll be good.
- Eshkawkogan has the poise and skills already. He should be good this year.

Mackenzie was at the rink. He was signing autographs for kids pregame along with Hilton and Dietsch on the football field.

While the game was sloppy, it was good to see some of the young guys. I agree that Eshkawkogan looked very good - I was surprised at how “ready” he seemed. Amidovski seemed a little tentative. Ekberg looked good at times. Horner on defence was not my favourite…much prefer him on the wing now. Lots of no-shows across the rest of the roster tonight…very forget-able. Barlas and Yanni were pretty invisible and Whitehead I mostly noticed for the wrong reasons. Korbler was almost invisible.

It's been a little while since Horner played Defence. You would have to give him a couple of games to adjust to the position.

I have a feeling that 67's are playing Michelone as a showcase so that they can either trade him or MacK.

Is Conway still in camp?

I have to wonder if MacK is not being played because he is either injured or they are afraid of him getting injured.

Houben is a big boy like Hilton, and it is going to take a little time. I know Hilton was not at the B camp long, but I am sure he learnt a lot.

Ekberg
Whitehead
Dever were the face off winners

I think
Ekberg is going to be 1st
Dever 2nd
Whitehead 3rd to start the year.

Flip a con but either Sirman or Mayich need to be gone early so that pairings can be set. Also i am sure the OA players will not like sitting in the stands.

Do we have enough players in camp and at the NHL to have 4 lines??
