No one you probably trade some players for picks.At what point does the Trout add a 3rd OA?? I do believe they have a very good team and a OA D would help, Any idea who they may target ?
Three of our top players out but we got a point I look at over times games more or less a tieI would think they will go the other way, time will tell, beating Niagara with 2 of your top players out shows they can compete with the best in the East.. There is no doubt in my mind they odd a 3rd OA
Three Dog Night, I am curious who these 3 top players out were? other then Roberts who was missing out of your top players? The Trout were missing a 10th overall pick in the NHL.... Also anytime you receive less points then the team you played, that's a loss.
It certainly makes sense for Ranger to start the Sunday afternoon game. It is the three for three weekend for the Steelheads and they will be missing Tippet for two of them. JR has done a good job of spreading out the ice time. The rookies are benefiting from having the extra ice time that Tippett and Little would have taken and the fish have been winning. A two wins out of the three weekend games would be fabulous.I will take a stab and predict Ranger will end up with 8 starts this year and makes his debut against Sarnia this weekend.
I hope young Ranger is able to win a few games. I met his grand parents during training camp , very nice people and his grandpa played in the NHL for I think was ten years over the 60s and 70s for a variety of teams. Played as a winger with Marcel Dion for a couple of years in LA.I would start Ranger in Sarnia as well, out of conference game, unless something happens. I could see a case for him starting in Hamilton as Sunday would be the third in three nights with the back 2 on the road. Hopefully they don't loose their legs.
You really got to like how the Trout work, it has been fun to watch so far.

The kid is likely to have an athletic ability or two.
Hope the weekend goes well for the Trout.
Go Steelheads
Niagara was missing 2 D-men who both weren’t drafted through 2 NHL drafts. Certainly not “top players”. Their top players are Thomas, Maksimov, Jones and Lodnia and they all played...
I don’t agree that they should be sellers. There seems to be evidence that they have enought talent to make a nice playoff run.No one you probably trade some players for picks.
5 in a row, Trout's Little gets the winner with a minute and a half left in regulation. Have to like what 9 Washer brings, he was really showing some good signs all 200 ft late last year and has just been picking up from there this year. He makes plays in all three zones. I like this sophomore line of 11 Schindt, 12 Canade, and Washer.
Harley has been much better defensively as well, and Ingham has been much more consistent, his positioning and recovery has vastly improved, he always had the reflexes. Glad to see a strong start after a disappointing season in his NHL draft year.
Lots to like so far this year, for a team many expected to be near the bottom this start has been great. The kids work hard, love watching the puck battles along the boards, what you see there tells a lot.
It seems to make sense. I am sure young Ranger is starting to get a bit antsy to get his first game behind him. Hope JR is looking for an experienced steady D man.He didn't have a stellar game defensively today to say the least, but there wasn't much for the restof the team's highlight reel either.
Streaks have to end, and I expected a better Hamilton team today, so a win was much to ask. They seemed flat for the most part though.
See what tomorrow brings in Sarnia with Tippett back. I expect to see Ranger make his debut.
