Maybe I should have clarified. I'm not comparing the two players, I was actually looking at Pierce individually from last year when he joined he came out strong and in 24 games he 8 goals and 2 assists and this year (a year older) in his first 20 games played he has 4 assists.
So true anychance you can call Harry Potter in Toronto and have a heart to heart? Leaf fans would be forever indebted to you!

Yeah, his numbers could be better but he is getting small minutes and always on the 4th line. He’s just failed to convert on a few plays and has created chances with his passing (which is actually pretty decent) that have just missed. He’s part of a decent size group on this team who’s numbers are a bit lower than I’d expect/hope. They’ve been getting it done by committee and depth and have got a few surprising contributions. Production from Phibbs, McCourt producing a bit more than I expected. I’ve been waiting for a few different guys to start producing more but they’ve been getting it done as a team so I haven’t stressed it but someone is gonna have to break out better offensive numbers soon. Last night they said Flint came into the game 15th on the PP and 4th on the PK I think? 5 on 5 has improved and they’re like the 2nd least penalized team in the league, so I’m trying to be patient as they are certainly trending in the right direction.
Forget about it, it will surely be torn up for construction, just like every street in this town.

That’s good for him. I didn’t think he would make it to the major jr level watching him play with Wellington of OJHL. (Zachary Uens?) though, it would have been nice for Flint to have gotten a commitment from him.
Like the new score boards at each end of the arena. Makes it much easier for these old eyes to see shots on goal and penalty time.
It was disappointing last night. The players and staff have stepped up this year, it’s about time for the fan base to do the same. I would expect Wednesday to be pretty full and the numbers to start climbing after that. Especially if they have a strong performance against the Spirit.
No, that is under extensive construction as well, you just can't go anywhere in Toronto, just best to stay home and lock your doors...
It seems that Oksentyuk and/or McCourt and one other each game are driving the offence. I would really like to see Flint acquire Lodinia weeks ahead of the deadline. One high scoring OA RW might be all it takes to get and keep the team firing on all cylinders. It would certainly stretch out the scoring lines creating match up problems for other teams
Notice Keppen was out last nite. Anyone know what kind of injury or why he was out. Didnt really see him get hurt the game before.
Yeah, I’m a bit curious to see what the ripple effect from the acquisition of a top flight winger would be. A LW would be easier to fit into the lineup though and I would prefer it be a 18 or 19yo if possible so Phibbs doesn’t just get released. I know you want your OA’s producing more but he’s done everything he can to earn his spot. We’re 1/3 of the way into the season and Dellandrea certainly isn’t driving the offense. Or the defense either. Oksentyuk is gapping him in production and he’s even with Durham and McCourt in points.
At this point, I’d say yes if Lalonde and Popovich had good things to say.
