I would see you selling this year as it will be hard for you to get out of the first round... most-likely vs moncton.

wish we were selling but were not, alot of people are putting the eagles out before the playoff starts, yeah we will prob get moncton first round, but they can be beat and the way roy is playing things are looking good and as for nick rio he is a great goalie but the ahl dropped him so anything can happen. just my 2 cents.

rio will take approx. 5 games to get back into qmjhl mode as it is slower and not as much shooting. Also Moncton is missing a lot of top line players.

I really don't think losing LeSieur is going to haunt you guys
I think if you have added Dion and Paul alongwith Legault.. you have done one major thing... make a team that nobody will want to face in a playoff series.... you haven't really been a huge buyer but if that's all you've done... I think you can knock off a Moncton or Saint John in round one.... you won't be favored (you probably wouldn't be anyhow) and you've kept your main trade chips for next season in hopes of that 2012 bid
of course there is still a few days left and who knows maybe you are dealing those chips to add some impact players....

Kept our main trade chips? 2 1sts, Nic Chouinard, MacDonald. LeSieur, plus a captain in Ward and thats just for Adam and Legault who both won't return. We still have Ellis and Roy, but it's going to take more then a top 2 or 3 defenceman and good goaltender to build a Memorial Cup team for 2012. All this half assed not really buying but not really selling leaves us mid-pack, and not even favored in the 1st round in a league where 16 of 18 make the 1st round. |

Fred ... the word "are" in his post refers to present tense which means now and specifically yesterdays game between the two teams. Why would any of us be talking about injuries we will have in the playoffs ? I will await your apology for your insult towards me. |

You are right jack but everyone is placing too much emphasis on Ward's captaincy. He was no Lessard, Demers, Bertrand, Sheppard, Deano or Culligan. I wish people would stop worrying about this shit. Wasn't he pretty vocal after his first game back that he hadn't seen any pp time and was matched up on the third line with fournier? He underachieved this year, was prone to major mistakes and to be quite honest a huge disappointment as a 20 year old. I was expecting a lot more from him |

I wish people would stop worrying about this shit. Last time the team stopped worrying about this shit was our most embarrassing season ever. Now we're repeating some of those same mistakes. It's not just about the "C" on Ward's chest for 1/2 the games, it's the fact he was given it for a reason because of how he played and what he expected of himself. And we haven't even replaced him yet, unless Kalin Paul is now a top 2 or 3 defenceman.  I don't see how we can be anything but frustrated to this point with this mess. We're down kids and picks and are not 1 bit better today then we were 3 weeks ago other then the point we have 3 healthy 20's rather then 2. If the goal here isn't a championship, which it obviously is not, then what the hell are we going after?  BTW Clubber, your comments on Ward could also be used to describe another 20yo defenceman we have....and he's taking up a Euro spot as well. And you can give we Ward over Piskacek any day. |

You are definitely better than you were 3 weeks ago , whether it is good enough to go past the first round in the playoffs is still to be answered
and yes Jack... Ellis and Roy are your two big trade chips going forward... who knows what they will be worth this time next year... the cupboards can be filled up again quite quickly you know
