With such a limited number of players, can they afford to put Mack into the lineup, or is this going to be Nelson's big test?

It's going to be a long weekend if they are only 5 d and 1 goalie. Then again the good side is that Milly and Boyd are going to see what the team will be like if they trade Pinelli.

47 shots tell me that we have the offence; we just need to figure out how to finish, which is really exciting to see.

Good effort again tonight. Say what you want but this team works. So do the Petes. Taylor is looking really good. Rye was great in net. Fun game to watch considering it was a basement dweller game!

Mews with three points. The kid is really pushing the offence.

Considering they had 47 shots they had very, very few high danger chances - this is a hardworking team that has no finish. We squeaked by the worst team in the league…but a win is a win, and as pointed out by OMG it was at least entertaining which continues to be the silver lining in a tough season standings-wise.

I thought Amidovski might get a little more ice than he ended up with tonight. I thought he looked ok. Whitehead looked good in really limited opportunities. Foster seemed to take most of the night off, and Korbler continued to be a bit of a black hole on the first line. Mayich, Esh, and Mews logged a ton of ice which will be hard to maintain across 3 in 3 this weekend if Marrelli can’t return tomorrow.

Definitely tough to play MacK and sit an OA right now. That is why I am surprised they were unable to rope in a replacement. But, with OS and Brampton both having two goalies out of their lineup at the Team Canada tryouts, maybe it was tougher to access one.

Part of me wonders if Boyd is holding out hope that he can get a buyer for Stonehouse. With the Christmas break coming up, he may have decided to hold on and see what happens. Does anyone know if MacK is on the road trip or is he back in Ottawa

I think we really need to bring up Bonomo or another D to fill the hole unless we are going to move Horner back for the weekend

Marrelli is only out sick. It could just be the one game.

I am not sure what the issue with the goaltending is. There doesn’t seem to be a supply of available guys out there this year like in past seasons. It could be he is waiting for something to open up for MacK, or it could be Stonehouse but either way, it seems he is waiting for something to open up. I think he is waiting on acquiring the capable backup. Then he can resolve the issue.

Stonehouse hasn’t been as impactful as he should be. He really needs to get on a team that can get him the puck in front of the net. He is drawing his fair share of penalties which is good and he is a distraction which is good. But, since he broke his nose in practise and has been wearing the face mask, his impact hasn’t been as noticeable.
