Doubtful. BB would never sit his golden boy. AT44 could have relations with BB’s wife and I don’t think even that would see his ice time cut.

#44 must have seen #26’s shadow cover his face on the cover of the seasons tickets book and that he was profiled on Game#2 and not the home opener?

Speaking of shadow... Sbaraglia must be looking in the rear view and kicking himself. If Tynan keeps playing the way he is, he might just steal the #1 job away. That would be a very costly mistake by CS37.

Agree, however, it is still early, very early. Burke’s promised #37 he would start and be #1 when he de committed last year. A Burke promise is a Burke promise. You should know that by now puppers.

Hat trick for Kyen Sopa, 5 point night by Tomasino.. and Niagara is up big on a hapless Fronts squad. Shocking this team has been surprisingly strong to start the season considering they're in a rebuild.. good player development? Good coaching?

Icedogs end winless streak at four with an 8 to 4 win over Kingston before 4,712 fans next up a return visit to Kingston next Friday

It sure isn’t the coaching.

3-2-2 isn't that crazy of a start considering they've only really traded away a defensive D-man in Paquette. The rebuild hasn't really started yet. They still have Thomas/Tomasino who will both be Team Canada guys probably. The big surprise has been Tynan, he looks very good

 

[Drop the Puck]

It will be a difficult December for the NID’s for sure.
Not sure if #44 is Hunter material. #26 for certain.

Are you still picking us to finish 9 in east?

Yes because after they trade Thomas and Tomasino, they're going to be very, very bad. But until they do that, they have the offensive fire power to hang around with anyone. Especially if Tynan can keep playing like this

I really doubt Tomasino gets traded this year.

 

[Generalsupdates]

I really doubt Tomasino gets traded this year.

It would make sense tbh. You kind of need to get the #1 or #2 overall pick this year since the year after you don't get your 1st rounder. If you keep Tomasino and get 5th/6th overall and then fully tank the next year, that would be really stupid because you'd be in position to get a top pick, but you wouldn't get it because you don't get that years first rounder.....

Bottom out this year and get a ton of picks and players for Thomas+Tomasino and get a top 3 overall pick. Then next year try to win as much as you can and hopefully finish 6/7/8 range. Then you'll lose out on the 10th overall pick instead of the 1st or 2nd

You can call it what you want but Niagara has started much better than most would have expected. Yes they have Thomas and Tomasino but they aren't sheltered by any depth. Opposing teams know that if you can shut down them down you can neutralize Niagara's attack. This was evident when they played Saginaw. Their D did a solid job of taking Thomas off his game by repeatedly pummeling him into the boards, leaving Tomasino even more exposed. End result was a 3-0 defeat. It was only that close because Tynan stood on his head. The loss of Robertson, Jones, Lodnia, Maksimov and Studnicka left a massive deficit on offence. As you stated, they have only "traded" Paquette, who most on these boards state wasn't a very good defenceman anyway and was part of the reason you beat us in the playoffs last year. The loss of a significant amount of offence (I don't have time right now to calculate the % of goals lost) would indicate that they should already be in tough to get many wins.

Thomas did not play in the 3 to 0 loss to Saginaw he had a goal and a assist Thursday probably should have had a couple more goals too.

Thanks for the clarification. I got the 2 back to back games mixed up. It was the 5-4 game that he got destroyed trying to cross the blue line with his head down. What makes you say he should have had a couple more goals? I thought his performance was rather lacking.
