Surprised after his training camp play they couldn't trade him. Would you agree?It's pretty close, yeah. I wouldn't be shocked if Morneau is in there somewhere.
BTW, sounds like Greenwell has been sent to the Quebec Remparts.
Bowler no partners..Surprised after his training camp play they couldn't trade him. Would you agree?
So who's wearing our letters this season?
C - Greentree
A - Abraham
A - Spellacy
A - Mathurin
A - Cristoforo
Does this look accurate? Missed the first game so I don't know who was wearing letters then.
Missed assignment by defense.That Froggett save is a save Joey usually doesn’t make. Saves like that is what could win a game or stop the bleeding or keep a team from getting the momentum. That being said he should have had the first goal.
I might have missed a post but where are Windbiel and Garden playing when not called up since they can't go Jr B?Lemieux was the 2nd pick and was signed and he stays all year. Auto A card. Cannot be sent down to B or traded as he was not a 1st rounder. That is why Davis wasn't signed initially and the year before Manzo. Second picks ( not necessarily 2nd round) stick if they signed with the OHL club. Both 2nd picks overall by the Spits signed with Lasalle so they could be sent there. Nothing new here. Just this year with 6 signed with 2 being US born players makes it confusing and highly rare. Garden, Windbiel, Belchetz, Lemieux make the roster based on rules. Belchetz and Lemieux are the 2 regular roster spots and Garden andvWindbiel are the 2 allowed wild card roster spots. 4 total 16 yr olds as per CHL rule book. Hicks and Brocklehurst are Canadian born so they can be sent to Jr B. If Windbiel and Garden were Canadian, Bowler could have assigned any of the 4 to Lasalle etc.

Cristoforo still very soft play on ice..Christoforo with 2 assists so far after 1 period,5 points in 1st 2 games so far,last year he had 0 in his 1st 2,2 in his 1st 4 games.
Nesbitt with 2 goals so far this season after 4 periods of work,last year he had 2 after his 1st 18 games.
Well he wore one after the deadline last season, he's probably likely to wear it this season as well. Unless they decide to give one to morneauNo A for Christoforo
Defense??Windsor still struggling in Sarnia. Spits let that one slip away. At least 1 point.
Just how defense has been.The overtime goal is odd to watch on replay. I'm all for Dmen pinching, in the right situation, but Walton and especially Eichler were near the blueline. Davis and Nesbitt are near the crease. How does that happen?
You don't like to give up a three-goal lead. But, they had won six-straight, been playing very well over that stretch, and still get a point out of it. One of those "that hurt, didn't it? don't do it again" games. I almost wonder if they were looking ahead to the home opener?
Froggett played well, though I think he should have had the second goal. That looked like a bad angle 5-hole one to give up. The first one was bang-bang, not great but understandable. Second was not great. Then you have a breakaway and Eichler not getting his man, followed by a scramble in OT. I think he played well, just needs his linemates to tighten up defensively.
Get back at it on Saturday. It's looking like 5,500-6,000 crowd, which will be very nice.
is he injured?According to the OHL site, tonight it's C Greentree with Abraham, Cristoforo, and Mathurin having the As. However, Mathurin is a late scratch.
I think in some respects they will still be paying the price of last year. A lot of the same D and yes you hope they improve. You just hope it happens sooner rather than later. This is why Abraham taking 2 minor penalties in the 1st game and a 10 minute misconduct last night matters.Disappointed with Eichler out of position and running into another out of position Walton on their OT goal pretty bad when Davis was the closest to shopping the puck and boy he did try
