Watching the Zammy clean the ice between periods is more exciting than this hockey game. Hopefully we find some legs for the 3rd

Great work by Ekberg on that 2nd goal…. I don’t think he gets a point but he set all of that up and made that goal happen.
Ekberg has been playing well all night - drew three penalties in the first too (not that our PP could do anything with that). Ekberg-Whitehead-Amidovski has been maybe our second best line all night and has been rewarded with regular ice time. It is the most Amidovski has played all year I think. Hopefully they keep it up as it is nice to see them playing effectively. Dever’s line is mostly sleepwalking tonight and Barlas’ line is just playing ok.

I think the boys played almost as well as they could today. Our stars showed up to carry the load: Mews, Pinelli, Stonehouse, Mack, and Mayich. Eckberg good too. The rest were trying to chip in. We are a .500 team currently and we are having success due to superb coaching.

There's been a lot of crapping here on DC but the only reason we are here and this consistently "good" is because of DC. His job is to take whatever resources he's given and to coach them to win games. I'd say he's done that.

With better resources he'd do better. That's up to Boyd. If we weren't so good for so long we'd be picking higher in the draft. Maybe Boyd should allow the team to suck more for 2 years and we'll get some big skilled picks. I'm not sure he has that choice. If he has, maybe DC isn't the right choice of coach for the next phase.

From a “team preparedness” perspective, DC is a really good coach. That isn’t the issue. The issue is whether he has the traits necessary to connect and develop ALL players. Other teams are starting to gear up and “catch up” to where DC has had Ottawa for the last 6 weeks. OS is a five game below .500 team that has already sold off Barlow, have Konnor Smith injured and are on a 3 game in 4 day roadie. This should be an easy Ottawa win. It wasn’t.

Boyd is a good GM. He drafts well. He has made a lot of solid “seller” trades for players that have requested to be moved. He has brought in some pretty good elite players in buyer trades as well. His test now comes in bagging some NCAA bound players and get them to delay their start date for College by one year so they can play through their 19 year old season. Let’s see what he can do there.
