Can't see GB moving Daws. As the team gets younger you need someone in net to keep them in the games and he is already in place.
DiPietro was in his final year in the O, that's the differenceDaws numbers significantly better than DiPietro when he was traded last year. If he could fetch a similar return you trade him
Gogolev with a career high 4 goals and 11 shots tonight.
Hes up to 20 goals and 46 points.
Owen Sounds 6 rookies vs our 10 including our goalie.Gogolev single handily exposed some of Owen Sound's youthful inexperience as Owen Sound had 6 first year guys in the lineup tonight against the Storm game was just as tight as the score.

Storm line up was equally young and defence was hugely lacking due to injury and world juniors.Gogolev single handily exposed some of Owen Sound's youthful inexperience as Owen Sound had 6 first year guys in the lineup tonight against the Storm game was just as tight as the score.

The three goalies on the roster are Daws, Hofer and Rodrigue."
Great job Nico! I think this is good not only for his development, but also for Owen Bennett's, since he will be playing more.
it used to be that taking liberties in the goal crease wasa venture into a hard fall by a solid D.. now it looks like an ode to chaos round the goal..Two things to say. Congrats Nico, I know you will do us proud and bring back gold for all Storm fans.
Okay just watched the replay of the collision between the london forward and the Ice Dogs goalie. Yes I know the Ice Dog defender was involved, but Skinner made no attempt to not hit the goalie. The way the league has soften on giving penalties for hitting, slashing, interfering and running into goalies, it was injury just waiting to happen. With the instigator rule there is nothing preventing this kind of action taking place. No I'm not calling Skinner a goon, he plays just like everyone else in the league, including players on the Storm. It appears to be open season on goalies. Nobody ever ran Billy Smith, Ron Hextall or even Gump Worsley why because they would have either had to defend themselves by an avenging team mate or goalies would have protected themselves with butt end in their face or worse. No I'm advocating violence, just protection for the goalies. This young 17 year old goalie may have lost his dream. Branch you've made rules anti this, anti that, wake up and get your head in the game. Have your referees start calling goal tender interference, contacting the goalies and make the penalties hurt, a double minor. Maybe then the skaters would think twice before going near the goalies. I have nothing against a player setting up a screen, but most of the time they are in the blue.
Yes I'm an old goalie 68 years young, who was lucky enough to be taught some things by the Gumper, one was how to protect myself, A big knob on the end of the stick was one and another was how to use my blocker to keep forwards from getting to close.
Think they go to Bennett for the 3rd straight game this weekend or Wickware for his first career start tonight?
