Attached here is something I did quickly tonight that shows the strength of the top 10 teams schedule based on their ranking from 1-20 with the first place team receiving 20 points and the last place team receiving 1 point. Also in here is the average difficulty for each team over their remaining games.

I have compiled a list of possible American players who could help us in the 2021-2022 season:
-Daniel Laatsch: He is an 2002 born defensemen who is 6'4. He currently plays for USNTDP and is committed to go to Wisconsin for the 2020-2021 season. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 20%.
-Kyle Van Compernolle: An 2002 born forward who is 6'6. He is currently playing for the fox motors u18 team in the T1EHL and has 7 points in 7 games this season. He is currently committed to Michigan Tech and will begin to play there in 2021-2022 season. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 65% because he has been to one of our spring training camps and I feel like after this year there will be more room for him up front for him next year.
-Colin Purcell: He is 2002 born goalie who is 6'6. Currently playing with the Youngstown in the USHL as a back up and has a 4.09 GAA and a .873 SV% through 17 games this season. He is committed to UMASS for 2021-2022. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 70% because he has been to both of our spring camps and is a back up with the USHL team and then when he plays for UMASS he will be the backup while we are competing for a Championship and he would be the starter.
-Roman Schmidt: He is 2003 born defender that is 6'5. He currently plays for USNTDP u17 team and has a solid 17 points in 46 games played. he is committed to Boston and starts playing there in 2021-2022 season. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 45%.
-Caden Brown: He is a 2003 Forward that is 5'11. He currently plays for the USNTDP u17 team and has 20 points in 38 games. He is currently committed to Wisconsin for the 2021-2022 season. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 45%.
-Carter Schade: He is a 2003 defensemen that is 5'10. He currently is a reserve player for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL and has 5 points in 8 games. He does not have any NCAA commitment. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 70% because he has no NCAA commitment as well as is a reserve for his USHL team.
-Ryan Walker: He is an 2003 born forward that is 6'2. He currently is playing with the Florida Alliance u16 team and has 26 points in 15 games played. He has no NCAA commitment. In my eyes the percentage of him coming is 80% because he does not have an NCAA commitment and we have more room for forwards than defensemen.

If you could heave any 2 of these players which 2 would you take and why?

I’m taking Purcell and Schmidt, assuming this teams gearing towards a 2021-22 playoff run.

Purcell seems like the obvious choice as a decently ranked goalie. you’re going nowhere without a goalie, and he seems to be the best prospect Kitchener currently has.

I’m taking Schmidt because you can never have enough good d men, and he looks to be elite. 6’5 200+ pound right shot who put up a point per game in the GTHL. Sebrango, Xhekaj, Motew and Ottavainen could all still potentially be here and adding Schmidt makes that a terrifying D-core come 2021-22

What is your point pointer? This is exactly what was said by MM on an interview on the radio before the game. Just out trolling today?
Maybe my point wasn't clear. It want aimed at the poster of the quote but the quote itself. My point was your head coach was sounding like an HFboards fanboy and not the head coach and GM of one of the most storied franchises in the league. It's not a great look for the Rangers who are doing great things.
I made similar comments about Rocky Thompson having a similar temper tantrum in public eye when he coached the spitfires and I know many of you would have that opinion if coach Hunter made those remarks postgame.

The point I was making is MM doesn't agree with sending in clips and refrains from doing this. He is basically a soft spoken person in public. He never has a tantrum. Just gave his thoughts quietly to the radio guys. Rangers had a player leave the game because of an illegal hit also and he never responded. Then they lose their captain to suspension on a clip Erie sent in. I know Hunter would be pissed if the same happened to his captain along with many London posters. Not many Ranger posters even mentioned the suspension. The Erie coach ripped a strip off the refs between periods. Have you ever heard of another coach that does this? I think you have. I know who the Fanboy is you speak of and to compare him to our coach is ridiculous.

Fair point. I often listen to the 570 post game show but didn't that day so I'm reaching my conclusion from the quotes I've read here. From what your saying I may have taken them a bit out of context.
As far as the non calls and sending in clips go I think that's a product of the lack of trust on OHL officiating which I'm sure we can agree can leave a bit to be desired at points. I don't get the anger behind it but that could be a difference of opinion. I think with the tech there is around the rink if you think a dangerous play on On my way! Of your players was missed you should bring it to the leagues attention for supplemental discipline but also for the sake of improving the officials. I didn't see anything of this game but from what your describing I think Kitchener should have been sending video to the league as well whether Erie chose to or not.

I wish there was no such thing as sending in tape of any incident. Would rather have this settled the old fashion way with a
a few "bops on the noses" (thanks Bobber....loved that term you used years ago).

I would love to see a video of this as well. Hearing conflicting stories. Oh well, I suppose the league didn't want him playing against the Knights. :-p

What Greg did was not clean, but it doesn’t warrant 5 games. If you go on Josh Browns twitter someone shared a video in the replies of the suspension tweet.

Meireles gets 5 games. Anyone have a video of this?

I watched the game the next night st Flint and they showed video. It pretty much happened off camera. Tough to tell what, if anything, happened on the play from that video.

Oddly enough......it was there and now, isn't. You really don't get a good look at it. Happens in the bottom right corner of the screen. I don't know. Seemed like his elbow was up to me...

I was in a pretty good position to see it during the game (I was in red section 20). He for sure hit him from behind and I think it should have been a penalty on the play, however if it is a suspension it should have only been 1 or 2 max in my opinion.

I'm watching on my phone and can't see the hit at all from that video.

Hideous quality of video , the hit is almost off the screen at bottom right corner of clip.
Maybe you can see at home on a desktop?? I can view it ok on my phone.
