With MacK in net and the overall decent defence when they keep out of the box, they proved tonight they can remain competitive even without Pinelli. It was good to see them play without their crutch. They responded fairly well overall. Solid road game against a strong team.

Yanni with his best game as a 67 tonight. HE was under their skin the entire game, helped kill that final Penalty giving his stick to Marrelli and then dumping in front of shots. REALLY impressed with his game tonight.

Whitehead also with a strong game. He wasn’t trying to over-do it. HE found a way to contain his aggressiveness. Pots a SO goal.

I know I have said this a few times already but Eshkawkogan has alligator blood. The kid is unflappable. He plays with such maturity and poise.

Mews was better tonight.

Ekberg with two glorious chances in OT and flubbed both of them.

While this is a rebuild year, and the next, it's important to remember that these are also years of potential growth. We may not have star players yet, but that's the natural progression from our early years. As for Boyd and the drafting, I'm still on the fence. DC is learning, but I have some concerns about the older players' receptiveness to his learning.
I still think the sooner they trade Mews the better,

Boyd needs to look around at other junior non-OHL teams and see if he can find players that can play 3rd and 4th line so that they have the bodies.

I agree that mentor wise MacK is good but if we do not have the forward r defence bodies then we need to look at trading him so that we have enough players to ice a team. You can not go a whole season with only enough players to ice a team.
