If you like outdoors , a visit to Harrison Park on 2nd Ave East, the south end of Owen Sound for a walk, toboggan hill, and the Harrison Park Inn for breakfast or a meal.

Tipsy Fox Restaurant on 10th St West is a new sports restaurant with a diverse offering .

Drop by the fan club booth at the game and say hi

A very good 2nd period .

Once again lack of shots 4 in 1st and 3 in 3rd

Perhaps all the people that refer to the fan that keeps yelling, drop the puck, should be yelling, shoot the puck!

Valentine's Day is Friday and a number of the local restaurants are doing special evening events that require a reservation so could be a challenge to find a dinner spot without reservations.

Couple of my personal favorites:
Mudtown Station

Parkwood

PARKWOOD Restaurant

Coffin Ridge is a cool spot to visit just outside of town if you're into that sort of thing

Coffin Ridge Boutique Winery

Overlooking the crystal blue water of Georgian Bay, in the shadow of the Niagara Escarpment sits Grey County's first winery, Coffin Ridge.

St Andrew's has a break in the schedule this weekend. I suspect we see Dec recalled for the three games over the long Family Day weekend. As well as they've played, I think you have to leave that top line intact with Mbuyi - Delisle - Hookey instead of looking to reunite the Mbuyi - Dec - Zurawski kid line. I'd try McDonald - Dec - Zurawski and then keep the third line of Cormier - Crawford - Nansi.

I'm pretty high on Easton Mikus and wonder if he should get more of a look in top 9.

I'd like to see him and Varosyan both bumped up a line, think they've steadily improved as the season's gone on but our lines have felt oddly sticky this season. Speaks to the balance and relative depth the team has up front, but I definitely agree that there's more to squeeze out of guys like Mikus if he's given the opportunity.


Also, totally unrelated, but going to be a pretty proud moment for Attack fans tonight as Binnington is the starter for the senior men's national team in an almost best on best tournament. Hope he does great and can be in the mix for the Olympics next winter.

Rough start for him to the season but I've liked his progression over the course of the year and I like what we've seen of late out of him. I think he's a great bottom six guy with the energy and physicality he brings. I think he could be a solid third line option. Have to think the coaching staff has liked what he's brought of late too as he has been getting some more ice time and was recently slotted on the third line.

I'd like to see Varosyan flipped with Waddick for a look on that second line for a few games and take a good look at what he can do in an elevated role. The skill is there with him. With the Attack headed towards a high import pick it would be nice to see what he is and what he might be to decide if you upgrade on both imports in the draft or if there's enough potential there to bring him back. Varosyan's late birthday would give me pause on dropping him for another piece. I think it's headed towards the Attack upgrading on Bleicher as he seems to be the odd man out on the blueline though he may be a tradeable asset to another team as I think he's a decent enough player. For me, if you have a top 10-ish pick in the import selection draft that's too good to pass up.

You are preaching to the choir here on the import situation
