A RHD say another Zub style,would make a huge differenceI honestly think Norris and pinto would be fine. A vet 3C and a top 4 D would be my wants.

We gave up 50 shots and easily could've lost that first game 9 - 3. @6stringmofo did you have the "who should we take first overall?" thread locked and loaded if the leafs came back ?

U seem to think I'm talking about this one game, I'm talking about the season.
What if.
Would you have made this thread if the leafs came back and won ?
settle down 1 game lol. and allowed 50 shots
Get us another top 2C who can win draws and we are right there
I admire the enthusiasm, but I don't see it happening this year. The kids have young legs and a lot of swagger, but there is a serious lack of pure talent overall on the roster.
That is exactly what getting another Center doesgive Pinto time... he is the 2c.

He will be the 1 c I think Norris will be 2 however.give Pinto time... he is the 2c.
Also worth noting the discrepancy in shots is mostly because of a single power play where the leafs got 8 shots (they scored on the 8th shot). Remove that PP, or score on the first shot, and the shot discrepancy is minimal, that 8 shot flurry could only have lead to the single goal that it did, so had they received more puck luck during it, the score remains the same.Well I don't think we're making the playoffs but 9-3 is a bit of nonsense in my view. We easily had the better of the chances and could have been up 5 - 0 heading in to the 3rd far more easily than that game being a 9 - 3 loss
Definitely we dominated thru 2. Score could have been more tilted.IMO Ottawa dominated that 1st game against the stinking leafs for two periods & it was when the refs decided to step in to help the leafs that ended up giving them some life. As far as centres go we have two centres who can take turns being the #1 centre on any given night, but it will also depend on their linemates. Pinto will need Stutzle & C. Brown to help him turn that 2nd line into a top line while Norris has Tkachuk & Batherson helping him.
Hopefuly each line challenges the other to be better & improve the team as a whole. I also think that Greig ends up taking that 3rd line centre spot, IMO it's just a matter of time & with Formenton on one side & either Boucher or Sokolov or C. Brown on RW should make for another good line.

Both our guys have a chance to be top 25 at their position. I’m hoping for a Bergeron/Kreiji impact. High bar but putting ceilings on these 2 has been a losing bet so far. Neither will be as awesome as Bergeron but as far as impact on the team I love their 2 way play and intensityHe will be the 1 c I think Norris will be 2 however.
Don Cherry will come out of retirement and berate Ottawa and the surrounding areas for not supporting their team at the box office?
Yes.
