The line of Vanier-Fudge-C.Moynihan has been good at keeping the puck in the offensive zone and cycling well, Durandeau hasn't been overly impressive, Flower has been pretty good. Dachyshyn has been great, none of the goalies have been bad, So far I think Bent has been the best 20 out of him Leblanc and Vuic. Blain-Dupuis has been good he's got lots of energy. Charlebois has been good other than when he goes out of his way to try to hit somebody and gets out of position. Putintsev hasn't be to great he had lots of shots but not many dangerous shots. Novak has been great.

Hows the 20 year olds looking? I have said it before, I hope they keep Bent Vuic and D.Moyinhan. You are going to cut Brassard? would have been done at the draft.

would have been done at the draft. You mean trade? He's too valuable to just cut.

Curious to see how Bishop looks in pre-season.

Curious to see how Bishop looks in pre-season. Bishop has been a pleasant surprise for me. I think he's got a shot at making this team as well.

I'm a little disappointed how dead this board has been after there's at least a little something to talk about. It was more active a week ago. 'Yall gotta step it up for tomorrow, first pre-season game! Let's get some hype!
Anyway, a few thoughts on the final Intra-Squad game:
Putintsev : Really great to see him bring everything I was hoping he would bring. After taking that shot of the ankle in the late second, he came back out and looked like he had something to prove. He played with great energy, and he showed such creativity on that second goal. Real good tic-tac-toe type play, used all his teammates but he was obviously the catalyst.
I haven't seen much from him in terms of explosiveness, but he's got some Darcy Ashley in him, low center of gravity and hard to knock off the puck, quick hands, creative on the boards and behind the net.
Durandeau had a few chances tonight, he was a bit snake bitten when it comes to getting a goal, had a nice assist tho; Seems like he's a great passer. It's good to see he has him getting better as camp goes on though, he was good at the U-17, but the adjustment to the older-bigger guys is clearly going to take a little bit.
Bishop had another good game. Good 2-way center, I could see him making this team, he could be a good 4th liner.
Novak was quiet today but still good.
On defense, Flower and Charlebois both had solid games.
Jones was better again, I'd like to see him get a few pre-season games, see how he looks on the powerplay. How the D shakes out should be very interesting.

[br Agreed about the quietness of this discussion - seems like there is more interest in talking about a kid who doesn't even play for the Mooseheads instead of discussing those who are trying to make the team. I'm interested to see who dresses tomorrow. Cuts should be coming soon - deadline for the Cegep aged Quebec kids is Monday.

How the D shakes out should be very interesting. IM not sold on puntisev. he would have to show a much higher compete level away from the play for me to get really excited to have him in Halifax, i hope he doesnt end up being a liability. Durandeau is in all the right places and everyone is hammering him. He must be feeling this camp by now, but really havent seen that goal scoring touch. its going to be hard to convince anyone he can contribute unless he lights the lamp. I love Bishops skill set, have to agree with you there. I love Jakov. Now before anyone makes jokes, really whoever found this guy needs a raise. He will just get better as the season goes on. Just raw talent and great offensive IQ. The Flower / Charlebois battle is interesting, 2 diff styles of defenceman. Charlebois is a man on skates for sure, there was that lapse at the side of the net that let to a goal against. I was a bit lack lustered by his non-compete right then. Flower was a good game today, although kind of thought he might be too pedestrian at times, he really is not aware how fast the game is coming at him, like he would rather be back in his own end when the play is at the far blue line and just hope he has a good angle on the play. Hopefully he can adjust to that. Im told he is a lock. Defintely want to see more of the Jones kid And I was more impressed with Bent's effort that Vuic so if we end up taking 3 x 20 then i want Bent.

Defintely want to see more of the Jones kid And I was more impressed with Bent's effort that Vuic so if we end up taking 3 x 20 then i want Bent. Yea, I really want to like Putintsev. But yea, I can see why you wouldn't be sold on him. He's not a Garland type player. I saw somebody say he's very North-south on HF boards, and I have to agree. He's in great shape, he obviously had great work ethic to be that dedicated to his training, so, I hope with coaching, he can bring that work ethic without the puck. If Flower is a lock, I don't know what that means for our blueline. a bit "pedestrian at times" is a good description. Flower seems to be pretty okay at everything, but I haven't seen him be great at anything yet. He skates pretty well, handles the puck pretty well, passes well, shots pretty okay, but I don't know what his identity is. Again, I can only hope coaching does wonders for him. I have a lot of faith in our coaching staff so, I am not too worried one way or the other. And yes, Bent has been on the two games he's played. I think Timo may wear the C, but Bent is a leader on this team, his give-a-shit level is just a great example of how to play the game.

Posting from the other board says Cooper Jones signed today. Well if Jones and Flower made the team, than... we're lookin' at: Fitzgerald - Donaghey Ford - Jones Nauss - Hunter Flower... And then Argento or Taillifer could be in trouble.
