Slated to be 3rd shift; Delic-Villeneuve-Goyette is more like line 1B. I actually like the potential of it. I’m a little more disheartened that I cannot see today’s game now. Replay I guess.

Interesting. I would gladly swap Konyen and Walton though. I think giving Walton some ice time with the top guys would be good for him and he'll block well!
Let’s just worry about winning the damn game and not what player is with who n what line there on
3rd missy goal… Musty doesn’t leave the ice with his line mates.. Wolves ice the puck as he is huffing and puffing. He has to stay on for the faceoff in our end and guess what happens? Missy ties it up. 
Blaming Musty instead of Pryce who made garbage stretch pass is hilarious.3rd missy goal… Musty doesn’t leave the ice with his line mates.. Wolves ice the puck as he is huffing and puffing. He has to stay on for the faceoff in our end and guess what happens? Missy ties it up.
Villeneuve and delic are a hell of a lot of fun to watch together.
Game still has a bit to go but this atleast feels like one of their better defensive outings, really limiting the shots on net.

Lenders may want to ask his team to play D instead of shoving players into him
For a guy who is usually under the radar, I thought Yearwood has had a hell of a game.

Mississauga was flat after the first. Good overall game. I am always amazed how Goyette keeps producing with whoever he plays with. He made plays to the net and a hell of a pass to Delic. Like this line a lot.
Giroux kept it simple with good low shots and Pharand my boy driving the net !!! They were really good with McCallum.
Pretty good game all things considered, lots of the same old problems existed, but the defence looked really solid. We'll see how the lines work out in the long run, was clearly some miscommunication from the changes, but it's expected in game 1.

Good game to watch...still too many long shifts...vondras started off bad but settled in...Made an absolutely tremendous save with one minute left. Id be surprised if it doesnt make the save of the night on the ohl website.

Agreed. Also like the lines. Nice balanced attack throughout the game. I found todays game there was a conscious effort to have a high forward most of the time, this allowed to have our D pinch down hard on the walls in the OZ. Very good. Although I think he is the best player in the O, Dvorsky had a tough game. Plays died on his stick today. He’s allowed an average game, it’s rare, but teams might be figuring him out…
Loved Pryce, Collins, McCoy, 3rd line, Goyette.
With a few exceptions, bench management was very good today.
Upwards and onwards!!

Keep these lines intact. Giroux looked good with Pharand and McCallum, and love the potential with a Delic Villeneuve Goyette line. People are way to obsessed on here with "No.1 line" and "No.2 line". We want to be able to roll 4 strong lines. Nearing 20 games remaining until playoffs. That's what it's all gonna come down to here. Whether this team can unite and sacrifice (put egos aside and play mature/smart hockey) and do what's necessary to win and go deep into the playoffs. Whether one of Vondras/ Vandenberg/ Krawchuk can answer the bell when called upon and give this team good enough goaltending in the big moments. Some guys can just thrive and elevate their games come playoffs, and others not so much. Won't be long until we truly see what this team is made of, whether Papineau did enough with this roster in a "go for it" year with trying to build a contender and the decision to appoint Ken MacKenzie as the teams head coach. Go Wolves Go

Didn’t say it was strictly Musty’s fault. Not thinking that this contributed to the goal and not thinking that his extended shifts are a problem is a hilarious.
If it was only him, I'd agree, but there's a half dozen players guilty of extended shifts and he seems to be the only one ever mentioned. Coaching issue

I am starting to believe Paps did not go all in at the deadline because he could not get a sufficient upgrade in any deal that made sense for a goalie and realized he was snookered.
Once he made the Vandenburg move, we had to know he wasn't giving up more assets for another Goalie. If they wanted Gaudreau they would have had to make that move in December.
I thought Goyette played a really good game, some complained he got in a fight, I think it did him good and lit a little fire inside him, I liked the lines and really hope it's not all different next game, really hoping the coach can see that.
Regardless of if it was a smart decisions or not, it was nice to see someone on the ice care when one of their teammates get taken out for once.
