i'd take Hillis but we have no room on D for Gordeev.
I knew you had a glut of D to start, has anyone been moved or rotating scratches?

thanks would have been surprised he was a scratch considering what we paid for him.
With 1 assist in 7 games (and that on a bad pass that turned into a lucky goal from behind the goal line), considering his ice time and primo place on the depth chart (centered Keating and Clarke for at least 3 games), it may not be long before he gets “healthied”.
Peric has been traded and Okhotiuk has been injured since the start of the year. When he's back we have 9 D on the roster so something is gonna give.I knew you had a glut of D to start, has anyone been moved or rotating scratches?
Was he walked out of town ? I thought I read albeit rumors he asked out. In any event yes he's been underwhelming up to now but he's big, skates well and has shown glimpses of skill. Also he lost a lot of his rookie season to injury and is getting used to a new team/town. Way too early to judge on this one imo. They wouldn't have paid the price they did if he had no upside, hopefully the brass will be proven right. Agree on Tolnai I think he will be a good player. As you said he needs better linemates as he's not yet ready to carry a line.I think he did get healthied.
I know a lot of burden has been placed on Tolnai but his skill level is high even if his experience isn't. I think his linemates are holding him back. He needs expereinced guys or at least young guys that can play.
I'm not crapping on Robinson but the reality is he was walked out of town by Oshawam we all hoped he would turn things around with a change of scenery but unfortunately, he hasn't. That is not to say he won't but I would say there is some worry.
I would just be happy to see them play three consistent periods.....oh, and not give up the first goal for a change!Going to be a fun game to watch today against Kingston.
It would be good to see some of our guys have a breakout game to get them propelled in the stat column.
Well, our defence was pretty much non-existent at the start of the game. Seemed like everyone thought they would get the opportunity to pad their stats against lowly Kingston. Problem is, nobody told Kingston that.I think Hoescher is making a statement that he should be the number 2 center.
Clarke seems to be showing well
My question is though considering the lack of scoring ability that Kingston has and the fact that they are a bottom-dwelling team why are we letting them score so many goals.
This team should be easy fodder considering our defence
I believe they need two forwards, one to complete the second line and also an experienced forward to get the third line going. The injury to Clarke is also going to hamper the already limited offense we currently deploy. We scored 8 goals yesterday but that had a lot to do with our inexperienced opponent.Was at the game against Mississauga on Friday. The top line is playing well again this year. Hoelscher and Quinn are doing their best to provide secondary scoring, but they need a winger to play with them. Hopefully in time, one of the inexperienced younger guys will step up and take that spot, but if this team wants to make any noise come playoff time, they will still need to add a forward or two.
They could also play Constantini at forward (he seemed to hold his own when called to do so earlier in the season).https://www.tsn.ca/radio/ottawa-1200-1.1381460
According to this interview, Clarke may be out up to eight weeks and Yule likely has a broken finger and will be out himself for an extended period of time.
For now, according to Coach Tourigny, the lineup will be:
Keating-Rossi-Crete
Quinn-Hoelscher-Beck
Johnston-Tolnai-Robinson
TBD-TBD-TBD
F-A Tourigny will likely have one of the fourth line spots and I wouldn't think that the team will want to dress two extra D up front so you've got to think that they will either recall Sirizzotti (then have to scratch one of Matier/Sawyer) or make a signing/trade.
PAGING COLBY AMBROSIO!
Ambrosio would be sweet!https://www.tsn.ca/radio/ottawa-1200-1.1381460
