It's not like the coach sat him on the bench first before giving him any opportunities. Porco has had plenty of time to show himself. Like the above poster said, you want more ice time you earn it.

I've never been a fan of the kid. He's gotten plenty of icetime in the past and has been put in positions to succeed. I get the other side and it's hard to gain confidence, turn things around and prove yourself to coaches when being benched but when you work yourself DOWN to that spot, the leash is going to be short, it's on you.
I don't know, how about playing well in the first 2 periods. Just a thought!
If we are in this year then no turning back. Porco, Punnett, Lemieux, Cardwell plus 5-2nds, 2-3rds, 4-4ths and 6-5ths. To get what we need won't be cheap. Porco + a 2nd+5th should get us a quality D? Cardwell 3-2nds,+2-4ths gets us Thomas or Dudas. Like Sopas game Katic and a 2nd?
Get most back by trading Perfetti prospect 3-2nds + 2 3ds and Lennox the same. When will we have this chance again. DD has to make some tough choices if he wants to be stronger and loads of options to make it happen.

I know bcspragu's analysis sounds simplistic and vague but I think it's spot on. As a Flint fan, I can't tell you how many times I've seen the puck on Porco's stick rushing up ice or in the offensive zone and thought "uh-oh" shortly followed by "whew". CJ Clarke was like that for us. Looks all the part of an OHL production machine, just never actually gets it done and two-three-four times a night you're left thinking "how did nothing come of that? They didn't even generate an offensive chance?" and the puck is heading up ice the other way, or covered by goalie who didn't actually make a save or something. If OHL GM's desire Porco half as much as posters on this board seem to, they'll still be able move him for more than fair value and get a solid return whether it be picks or players. It's still a bit too early to give up on him but a fresh start might be good.

Porco doesn’t want to be here. On the Left side, Bulovs and Bloom are begging for time. Bulovs is much grittier than Porco and Bloom is much more skilled. Trade Porco for a Centre and fill the left side in with one of those guys. They will make mistakes but the upside is much greater.
Not to minimize Porco because I'm glad he played well, but I think its safe to say everyone in a home jersey had a good night winning 9-1
This was a great example of a organization that only cares about the needs to make them look good , playing perfetti almost every other shift against there worst players so he could get points and jump up the point list , bottom line this is why Saginaw will never be winners, London nights always plays there top and older players that put in the TIME NEEDED Over the years , Saginaw once again forgets who is the top players and for that ,they will never be great
Perfetti is the most talented player on Saginaw. Full stop. Hell probably a top 5 to 10 talent in the league as a 17 year old. Why are you complaining? Who is your son that hes outplaying?

Cole Perfetti and Saginaw management are out to submarine the career of the other Cole... Only Hilary's latest rant can top that one!

I didn’t read it that way at all, just a London fan that sees the writing on the wall that they can’t compete this year. Any Saginaw Dad would be thrilled to have Perfetti play with their kid. I think they have also probably seen enough games to know exactly why he is out there. The kid is awesome

Oh how wrong you are Saggy. He is not a London fan, he's a fan of one player only. He hissed with the attention that Jenkins and Wilde got when they came on board, and with Jenkins doing team promo's. Torqued when said player never got a captains nod. Perfetti's rise in stature has him grumbling. Not happy with where said player fit in... The kid is a heck of a player, but he can't leave it at that... its all about that player and that player alone.

The last I checked, Cole Coskey (I assume that's the other Cole) is having a pretty start to the season with 9 goals and 8 assists for 17 points in 12 games. It seems he's doing just fine.

Late to the fray here Rick. A certain member, feels that his favorite is being chewed and squashed by the franchise, who are favoring players other than his. Pay attention to what is being said in other posts.
I’ll tell you this from an insider not from a fan that watches from the bleachers you have no clue what goes on in the inside of an organization, and from a fan that maybe pays 1,000 a year for tickets , believe me that don’t need your money to succeed , Cole perfittie is a hell of a hockey player , but from years of past ohl teams and experiences what wins championships? Oh that’s right overages and 4th to 3rd year players, sometimes a jem comes along (perfittie) and really helps the teams , but always as a organization rid your older players and give them the respect they deserved , maybe that’s why Saginaw can’t win championships, because they are always trying to please the parents of the rookies or second year players , I guarantee this (London) has no issues with this kind of situation,

For Khrist sake Saginaw 19...let it go would you. You don't think I've been around this rodeo????. I know a lot of what goes on , and I won't mention a bit of it....Stop being so GD bitter.
The two Coles played wonderfully tonight...yes I was there. Coskey and Perfetti make a devistating PP tandem. Coskey on the off wing PP is down right evil. You are correct on many issues, such as not being a good 5 on 5 team at present, and could use a couple of players. Quit the conspiricy BS and enjoy the moment.

Well his name isn't Cole but I was pretty happy to see T- Bone scored his first goal, I've met him a couple of times and what a friendly out going nice kid. I know it wasn't tonight maybe I'm just late to the party.
Looking over the Top 10 in the league in scoring and after 13 games
#3 Perfetti G-5 A-19 P-24
#5 Coskey G-10 A-11 P-21
#7 Giroux G-12 A-8 P-20
#10 Solovyov G-1 A-18 P-19
When have we ever had 4 players in the top 10. Only 13 games in but not bad for an over rated bunch that are consistently getting better. Solovyov has been outstanding moves the puck well , skates well for a big guy and lays a heavy check or two every game. Nice pick up by our GM.

I can't say enough good things about Solovyov. Making me forget about Wilde, and absolutely thrilled if he ever returns. Best power play design and implementation I have seen...deadly. Two snipers playing the off wing and banging them home with skill. Great to watch.
