  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache.

I may be a bit old school but I'm not a fan of these" silly ". Jerseys. Especially when you put that ugly green in them. Maybe look better live but I had a hard time seeing the names on them. There have been some nice variations over the years but that was not one of them. I guess they do these for the little kids to like but I don't see them as anything more than a distraction to the actual game going on.

I had pointed out that I'm also not a fan of line juggling this late in the year and Walter's went with some new looks to start the game but once the wheels started to fall off he went back to some more " normal " lines. What's the point to try something new if your only going to switch back later in the game anyway?
Stop the line juggling up front and start teaching them how to assist in the D zone. Still tinkering with lines up front is not what this team needs. This team can score goals. They need/must learn to defend if they have any hope of winning in the playoffs. Rant over. Be safe.

Windsor squeeked out a win.
Really shouldn't have to say that with a 5 to 0 lead but they did.
Defense was average
Goaltending needs to be better.
Usual players got points.
Team can't move in standings. Need to play a lot smarter.
 
Ok the jerseys were the ugliest ive seen.
Team has an excellent goalie coach, and joeys getting every chance but hes not succeeding, something needs to give here. He should be mad, at himself! If this continues he doesnt deserve a spot next year! His glove is weak and his lateral movement is terrible, he often ends up on his ass, which puts him out of position.

That formula won't work in the playoffs. The 50 goal watch is on for Protas and Greentree. I forget Protas missed 3 more games than Greentree. Hope they both get it soon so we can "try" and tighten up for the real season coming soon. Oc course goaltending is an issue more than the D currently.

It's getting a little late. I would say the 3rd period was better but they were still undisciplined the penalty by Kennedy and especially with what happened in regards to Spellacy. I am still a little surprised they get dragged into this stuff. The game is really secondary when the standings position are pretty defined. Take the higher road, don't get dragged into something that may cause a suspension or even injury.

I didn't mind them up close but I'm neutral on the idea, otherwise. I agree that they have too many. There are likely reasons why, such as that CHL Kids contest (which will be worn on Thursday), but I'm hoping that they focus on really special occasions, or just the retro jerseys, next season.
