Nope, he and McDonaugh are both playing college hockey.

No, definitly not ready. He is still playing college hockey!

Lucic will not be an easy fight for BGL. Milan is 13-1 in fights but hasn't faced anyone strong.

If Ryan would use his frame, I'd be more nice to him. That is his strength, but he hasn't thrown more than three good checks a game. A Dman his size should throw at least 5 hits a game.

I totally agree with Obyrne being sent down, but who do you call up? Belle?

Haha, what was the funniest thing they said?

Good shootout!! Still though, we have not played a full 60 this year other than that one Sens game and that Leaf game at the start of year is hard to count. Get ready for Saturday boys, and BGL warm up them fists

Good game, good action. I liked it when laraque wanted to get Bass off of Begin, but Begin solved his own problem, win Stevie B :) :ghg:

Laraque

:ghg: 2 hours!

Laraque should be in. You can't bench a guy a whole week and expect him to be in game shape, get him ready for saturday.

I think they pass way to much, but if you're saying for accuracay then yes, we need to work on that. As for puck control, that and physicality and overall defense are the three things we need to improve on most IMO. Physicality won;t take long to adjust, but the other two will. And I'm not talking running guys, or creaming guys into the boards when I stress toughness, I just want them to finish checks, our D especially.

Colin, great analysis.. Your post definitly sums up our team right now. Here would be my lines for Ottawa: Koivu Tanguay Lats A Kosto Lang Diago Kosto Laps Kovy Laraque Begin Dandy I know it won;t happen, but I would take a loss in exchange for a bigtime shakeup. Get the message across Carbo, or take a seat!

I like our foundation. We don;t need to trade away a player because of a slump. If we do however, it would have to be for a Dman, because we are getting ripped apart back there.

Okay, makes sense.

We are am embarrassment

Carbo may have instructed that but it could also have been a different coach or the players themselves.

O'Byrne is the worst, IMO. 18-8 in shots in bad, Price is playing great, hope we get one on the PP. :ghg:

Yeah, Kovy won't get a message by getting sent to the top line. Scratching him is to harsh but putting him with Kosto and Laps or something like that would.

I totally agree about the Komo comments. But, if you make players take off their helmets before they fight, I think more injuries will happen, by hitting your head on the ice after a takedown, or more punches to the head. It should be a players choice, I know Iginla likes it, but I don't think BGL has ever done it.

Yep! Couldn't agree more

Why did shortcat leave?

Oh, i can't stand Brind'Amour :puke: But I love those uniforms as well.

I agree, for Laraque to play it depends on the opponent. If it's a chippy team like the Boston, Philly, Sens, or Rangs or others than put you have to put him in. If we are playing a mild team, I would like to see a more speedy energetic 4th line with some offence.

He's definitly got the build. Also, Nogueria is also up their for age, so Lesner can hold that belt for many years if he's got it in him.
