McCallum from Sudbury would be a nice low cost add

Well it was not pretty but it was a big two points. Those are the types of games you need to win if you are wanting to win the division/conference. Nothing was going right, but they got a few lucky bounces and ended up making the most out of it!

Agreed. The boys turn it on in the 3rd and collectively said “we are winning this game” impressive

I found it interesting that they switched captaincy for the Diaco and McGurn. Diaco is now wearing the A at home and McGurn is now wearing the C at home. It was vice versa the first half of the season.

Or is it McGurn on the special jerseys?

That is the worst i have seen London play in a very long time. Even in the third we had horseshoes up our azz very lucky to tie game. Love the trade...maybe with a ton of ice time Testa will find his game. I was concerned with Bowen in first game against Sarnia 5 goals allowed on 26 shots. With our D and Brochu playing as good as ever only Ottawa is better.

Idk if they are!? How do you feel we stack up against Windsor, Kitchener and North Bay

For comfort I think we need a forward… most likely a good centre on the dot and someone that can carry the puck into the o zone

Relax. We make fun in jest. It isn’t meant to be mean. If you take it that way, nothing I can do. Lighten up.

No.. I get it.. you like to make fun of people's appearances while you hide behind an avatar.

 

[LondonLocal]

Does anybody know if there is likely to be another trade or if we’re done?

They do this every year they change the colour of the home jersey for the second half of the season. He was the captain first half at home now captain second half on the road

Yup. You got me.

With Mark saying he was in on Harrison if the price is right you may see another add.

We already have the folks who can carry pucks into the zone, we just choose not to utilize that strategy when they are on the ice for some reason? Lots of dump and trap tactics, but hard to argue it at this point as frustrating as it can be to watch.

I have heard that the boys have been told that Mark will be unavilable as he will be busy this weekend, take that for what it is worth.

Who are the puck carriers? I just see us dump and chase 95% of the time… you are right we have been successful but still

Barkey, Cowan, Diaco, McGurn, Gazizov all have the ability...

Yet we beat them lol

Guessing the current trade targets are: DelBelluz, Lombardi(if Flint Sells), Beck (2 year player if available), McCallum, Del Mastro, Grushnikov, Mintyukov, Wright, Girioux (if Flint Sells)
