I cannot figure out why Wineguard would be placed in the forward position. He is definitely not a forward. If you wanted to move a D man up why not one of your more offensive defense-man.?
If the guy is not fitting on the team it is time to do something, but this moves does no justice to the player or the team.

Well the 30 minute Spits showed up. Glad for the 2 points. Eichler tried hard to throw it away. Way too loose when we are holding a lead.
I thought Spits goalie Newlove looked good in his Ohl debut.
With the odd line up selections we seen tonight and the healthy scratches one can only conclude there is a trade in the works. Too bad, I thought Gaynes, Lemieux, Garden was a great energy line. They are all young but formed a very good line.
Onto trade talk. Heard a couple days ago that 05 non-drafted D Mitch Young could be a target. Make a good OA candidate next year. Good size 6-2. Scores same rate points per game as Cristoforo. Likes too lead the rush which we have too much already from our 06 D. Difference is he is a hitter as well. Colorado gave him invite this year to camp. Defensively an upgrade to Woodall or Cristoforo while still maintaining the points. 11 goals last year. Has 25 points in 32 games this year. Bowler liklely talking to many teams it seems as he should
Maybe Gaymes is moving but Garden and Lemieux aren't going anywhere being 08 rookies. Garden sits 1 of 3 games so maybe resting h I m mentally during this 6 in 9 stretch their in. Winegard in lineup last few games but very limited time is maybe to see if Bowler can add him to a package to move him on this year or in case Erie acted up.
Proud of the play of Newlove,put in a tough spot and succeeded gets a well deserved win starts his career with 2.26 goals against average save percentage of .895 ,stopping 17/19 shots now 1-0.
After a terrible start down 3 -0,team didn't quit was the better team next 35 minutes, let the lead slip away got it back on a PP that was struggling the past few weeks,great goal by Belchetz he now has 7 points in his last 4 games and tonight his goal was his 1st game winner as a Spit had the score stayed 5-3 game winner would have been Abraham 's.
12 different players picked up at least point, in fact 9 of the 10 forwards dressed had at least a point,only one who didn't was Morneau, Nesbitt had 3 assists to lead the team,Greentree had 1 and 1,so did Christoforo, while Protas had 2 assists.
Nice to see Mathurin back in,he and Christoforo were outstanding, and Mathurin finished with a + 3,as did Christoforo, wasn't happy with Eichler especially in the 3rd.
Tomorrow I would dress Garden and Gaymes against Niagara giving us 12 forwards and sit Eichler and Winegard.
Spits have now won 7 straight,
tomorrow will be interesting against a rested Niagara team.
Wonder who starts tomorrow for Windsor, he know was there though it was 3 years ago now.

Nice to see the team rebound and win so a loss was not attached to Joey. The 3 in a short period kills GAA though
I heard the same. Would be a nice addition and most likely not very costly. In my humblest opinion we need to really strengthen our D to take on the likes of London. We can score with the best of them , but our D is soft.
In the last 6 games in which Windsor is 6-0 Greentree has 8G,8A,16 points and Protas has 6G,10A,16 points as well.
Should note in the same stretch Abraham has 4G,8A,12 points,Davis has 6 and 6,12 points,and Nesbitt has 4G,6A in the same time frame and like I mentioned before Belchetz has 7 points in his last 4 games 2G,5A,team tough to stop when scoring like they have.
Last 6 games Windsor has scored 40 goals and have allowed 21.

Those are great numbers but look who they played. The Soo 2x last place team, Flint, Guelph in a rebuild year, and perhaps the toughest was Erie who Windsor should beat handily. Not to discount the great efforts and surely is a confidence booster but lots of hard work lay ahead if you want to win the west.
Actually Windsor has won 7 in a row,I didn't include the 1st win a 3-2 game over London after losing in London the previous game 4-1,Yes London was missing 3 guys that night at Team Canada's camp,and Windsor was missing their best defensive dman Mathurin but London still had 10 drafted by NHL teams in the lineup that day and Windsor had 3,just mentioning for context.
I agree about the energy line at the bottom, but since Outwater has been out, I feel Lemieux proved he can hang with the top 9.
No suspicious scratches tonight. Maybe they were finding a way to get Winegard in for his efforts to drop the mitts the other night. But I agree, he’s not a forward, doesn’t really have much to offer up front other than size.
I like Gaymes when he avoids the stupid penalties. He gets his moneys worth out of 75% of them, but here and there, he’s starting something out of nothing in a time we don’t need it.

We will need to move roster players to improve. It is just the nature of the beast.
Mitch Young’s an interesting one. He plays Top 2 minutes in Sarnia. Imagine he’d be a good fit on the second (or third) pairing here with Walton, and I’d bet on him having an OA year.
Wonder if a Young acquisition phases out Eichler. Both are a bit physical, decent size but not huge. Young’s better and higher offensive output too. A non-import upgrade, that could then free up an import spot with maybe an 06’?
Exciting time to be a spits fan. Excited to see where the chips fall, kinda hoping it’s all done soon enough for everyone to be in the lineup Friday. Maybe I’ll take a roadtrip.

Interesting stat Windsor 1 of a few teams who have used 4 goalies so far this season but the only team to have all 4 over 500 record
Costanzo 23-5-1-1
Froggett 3-2-1
Windbiel 1-0-0
Newlove 1-0-0
Costanzo 23-5-1-1
Froggett 3-2-1
Windbiel 1-0-0
Newlove 1-0-0
Young would be taller than Hicks by 1 inch and 2 in on Cristoforo Woodall Eichler Manzo.

Move in Young for Eichler and that opens up a spot for an actual good import.
Noel Nordh maybe? Emil Pieniniemi?
