DON Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Be wacky if McCarron developed into a big center. Even if he ends up flippin burgers at McDonalds, he will be big. I know what u mean and am looking forward to see how he does in OHL playoffs and Memorial cup, maybe he will be a physical force, like his hero was? I imagine dlbalr will give an update on how the big fellow looks. Quote
dlbalr Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 maybe he will shine and play a great game for you to see. As long as the rest of his team sucks and Barrie wins, that's fine by me. Quote
DON Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 As long as the rest of his team sucks and Barrie wins, that's fine by me. I am quite ignorant of towns in southern Ont, Barrie and London are close or big rivals?, or u just a born/bred Barrie boy? Quote
dlbalr Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I am quite ignorant of towns in southern Ont, Barrie and London are close or big rivals?, or u just a born/bred Barrie boy? I live about 50 minutes North of Barrie, they're the closest OHL team. They are rivals though despite being in separate conferences. Quote
DON Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Saw bit of Michigan game. Bennett looked good with 1 assist and few good rushes. commentators noted Bennett has been more involved offensively lately. ol Red Berenson (Hab in the early 60s) is in his 30th year coaching Wolverines'. Bit different than the pro-rank job security. Wonder who Bennett gets paired up with in Hamilton soon, #2. Will Bennett be in Hamilton this spring, or likely finish schooling (musicology is a unusual major)? Collberg with 1g 1 a, super to see sign of life. McCarron vs Crisp tonight, 1a on the PP for Crisp in 2nd period. Quote
dlbalr Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Will Bennett be in Hamilton this spring, or likely finish schooling (musicology is a unusual major)? If the courses are something that can be completed in the offseason, I have to think they'd push to get him in ASAP (assuming Bennett wants to sign). Quote
DON Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 If the courses are something that can be completed in the offseason, I have to think they'd push to get him in ASAP (assuming Bennett wants to sign). Must sign by August or ? (not sure how that works), he is free and clear? Quote
dlbalr Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Must sign by August or ? (not sure how that works), he is free and clear? August 15th or he's a UFA. Quote
DON Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 August 15th or he's a UFA. Just saw video of Pacioretty, Mellanby & Bergevin at game to watch Bennett. And Begevin basically saying, needs to figure out what to do with Bennett (I assume meant offer contract or not). (don't forget to cheer when McCarron scores today vs Barrie) Quote

(don't forget to cheer when McCarron scores today vs Barrie) It should be a no-brainer to sign him, especially if Nygren has no intention of fulfilling the second year of his contract. If Beaulieu is with the big club next year, the Bulldogs will really need a mobile puck mover and he's the best option to fill that role. And I won't cheer if McCarron scores but I'll write a nice comment or two in the postgame write-up (which may not be for a few days). Quote

Bozon #1 star with 2g and now is up to 33rd in WHL scoring, which might not sound great, but after the long slow patch he had when traded, he is doing quite well lately. Charlie H also was #1 star with 3 point game. Playmaker Nevins had 3a (but no 3 star selection, goon bias again) Quote
Commandant Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Goal #8, he'll be in double digits in no time.... Quote
DON Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Goal #8, he'll be in double digits in no time.... He still is a favourite prospect, Timmins recent pick of yours eh! Quote
Commandant Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 I'm glad he's played better of late, but he needs to do a lot more. Its a start. Quote
DON Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I'm glad he's played better of late, but he needs to do a lot more. Its a start. I know numbers are point of worry, but I just hope Timmins really saw "something" and not just his dimensions and Lucic-worship that sold Habs on him? Quote
dlbalr Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Speaking of McCarron, my game report from Saturday will be put on the site today. It has some comments on him and some draft eligible players/undrafted free agents. Quote
dlbalr Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 As promised, the McCarron game report: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3317 Quote
DON Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Crisp -5 last 3 games. Vail 67points- +33 Nygren 15pts in 21 games, and even a +4, since going back home. Quote
DON Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 As promised, the McCarron game report: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3317 Good report. Didn't sound bad and should be better after 3 or so more months of play before the memorial cup? Quote
Commandant Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 3 goals, 1 assist for Bozon... 55 points in 54 games now. Quote
dlbalr Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 3 goals, 1 assist for Bozon... 55 points in 54 games now. 48 points in 41 games with Kootenay. The trade certainly has helped him. Hudon is another player whose numbers jumped considerably after being dealt, he's up to 17 points in 10 games with Baie-Comeau. Quote
dlbalr Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Mac Bennett is also on a nice little run right now. 6 points (1-5-6) in his last 4 games with a +10 rating in those contests. Quote
DON Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 For some reason, I just got bad feeling bout Bozon turning pro and being able to do well. I watched Bennett play last weekend and he stood out, taking puck on rush and to the net, with announcers talking up his offensive play of late and saying he maybe was concentrating on being captain (leading team) and defensive zone more before? Quote
DON Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Crisp #1star, 3 pt game Fucale with shutout. Bozon 2a Quote
DON Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Vail with 1g 1a, GWG and tied for 12th in OHL scoring. Hudon to Gregoire for his 25th, end of 1st period. Quote
