The dedicated scouts will make the trip up to Owen Sound to keep an eye on his progress. The lazy ones will check him out on the OHL Action Pack, but there's nothing like seeing a performance live.

Thing is most people especially on twitter are talking about Dudas like this was some sort of break out game.

No.

He's not scoring 2 goals every night but that game was classic Dudas. Never takes a shift off. Always in the action. Fights hard every battle.

With Analytics being a bigger part in today's pro game over things such as height, I hope he doesn't get over looked. He should be a top 100 pick. Hell top 2 rounds dare I say.

First time in over two months the Attack get their top line back, and suddenly they can't stop the puck again .
3 shots, 3 goals . Two SH , ouch.

When you're playing 4 or 5 forwards on the PP, those shorties are going to happen. I think they had 2 real D (Philips and Lyle I believe) out there on the first SH goal, but they had the 5 forward PP unit out there on the second one (though Guzda would likely want that one over again).

Phillips was beat on the first SH goal. I think he was the only D out. Lazer and Sushko were the trailing forwards trying to get back. But you are right this is going to happen with the 4-5 forward pp units. Back to back though, sheez, come on guys.

Lafreniere backed right into his net on the 7th goal, what ever happened to challenging the shooter?

I went to bed before this goal at 6-4 :) . To me the replay shows him well out but then starts to back up too early. My thought is his timing is a bit off coming back from injury and into the game. Foudy is fast. So is Formenton, wow.

If Olli was ready to play why not start him in London. That place is a killer on young goalies.

Our d was in tough against London's speed on the counter attack, a combination of playing too far up and lack of speed on the retreat. Otherwise the Attack held it to the Knights. Some nice goals both ways. Raaymakers was stellar.

The first line's chemsitry was not the best last night. I am sure it will start to in the next few games.

You're right, Seb. He did in that game what we've seen from him all year. I loved that he rose to the occasion in that SWTP game. That's the mark of a good player. You have a high-stakes, pressure-filled game like that and you bring out that kind of performance. He'll be a good one for whoever takes him.

Another thing he does right is that he always keeps his feet moving. I've seen him draw a few penalties this year by keeping his feet moving when he's got a player grabbing/hooking him from behind. Those are the types of little things that he does so well.

Regardless of what happens with this Attack team down the stretch, it's been a pleasure watching Dudas thus year.

Last night's game was a pretty solid effort all around, IMO.
Oli played well in the net, making the first save and not allowing many second chances from rebounds.
The defence played well for the most part but I did notice a few times that guys are jumping into the offensive play when they maybe should stay back and defend more, letting the forwards do their thing in the offensive zone. I don't mean never step up and try to contribute into the offensive play deep in the "O" zone but know when the time is right and know who your partners are out there before making those judgement calls to attack deep.
The forwards all contributed to a well balanced attack against the Storm last night. Our first line played a lot and looked to control the ice more and more as the game wore on. They need a little more of that magic potion from last year and look out, they may once again be the top line amungst all first lines throughout the entire league. The second line had their feet moving and created quite a few scoring chances as usual. Sushko looked a little riled up last night taking 2 penalties that were questionable calls. The third line last night scored a big goal and looked like they are beginning to gel. The fourth line looked very good, great speed and tenacity on the puck. They also drew 2 penalties against the Storm which is a good sign when playing limited minutes.
Keep up the good work and climb in the standings boys!!!

Looks like Lyle is out of the lineup tonight and Russell is playing D.

He dressed as an extra fwd and never saw a shift.

Incredible win, considering they played 5 D, and we're short handed 8 mins in the 2nd.

The fourth line didn't see much action but got the important first goal.

Huge win last night for this squad!!
Boy, we are seeing now the effects of trading away that depth on the blueline (Beamish) for an extra body up front. Running really 4 Dmen last night for the most part. Big efforts from Friend, Phillips, Cameron and Bourque.
Asking Chibber to play more minutes on the back end may be a little much for the 01. Let's hope Lyle is not out long, hopefully day to day.
Awesome to see this team be a threat to score even when short handed, 2 tallies last night were huge.
Another big goal from that 4'th line, energy and effort are paying off for them!
Another big game on the road now in Guelph on Friday.

I was starting to think it was a bit quiet on here last night.. everyone must of been mesmerized by there new bobble heads lol Great win again by the boys. For those counting we have now won 5 of the last 6 games since that horrid trip north. Everything seems to be clicking better now. I personally think having Ollie back and having confidence in your tender make a world of difference. Just wait until we get Durzi back this team will really be motoring. Lets hope we can keep it up . The depleted D core sure worked there buns off last night and got rewarded. Cameron had a fantastic game.

IMO, the officials in the last 2 games in Owen Sound have been the worst I've seen in years. Wednesday game against Barrie was brutal. Yes we deserved a few (from #9), but the missed calls from a high stick to Gadj and a head check on Hancock with a ref right there OMG.
I've seen better ref's in minor hockey and these refs are trying to make the big leagues.
Great win. the team looks like they are finally getting their swagger.

I have been really impressed with Cameron's play of late. He never takes a shift off, gives all he has and is very tenacious on his check. Needs to work on his shoot but moves the puck well. Good to see him get some recognition last night for working hard.

The team has certainly been on the upswing of late OL has kept the team in games and given the guys a chance with a little luck coming down the stretch this team could slide into 7th come playoff time and get a matchup that's more what I believe to be fair to the youthfulness of Guzda in net for a 1st round matchup.

The team certainly been on a good roll of late with wins both at home and on the road. With a bit more confidence and luck hopefully the team can continue the groove against a Storm team that the guys have had an up and down season against thus far.

Another two pts. Hopefully Friend can go tomorrow. Another uncalled high stick?

By my count that's three in the lat two games. Time to send game tape into the league ?
Gadjovich, Hancock, now Friend. Targets?
