Over 4,000 tickets sold for the game so hopefully the guys put on a good show.

One of the coaches needs to take Squires aside and tell him enough of the after whistle BS cause it's undisciplined penalties like that that will cost you dearly in the playoffs.

All that aside it was a very entertaining night at the Rink . The Boys had lots of Jump , Shortall on the PK , I found very effective and Schmitt and Cibulka had good games back on Defence. Any updates on Fullerton or Campbell ? No one seems to know anything for sure . I think Ricard and Aucoin should / deserve more ice time but I guess their time will come .
* Somebody emptying their pockets last night or this morning and spots an Even Split Ticket is gonna find out it was worth almost 7 Grand .......8 - 9 Hours ago .

First time I got to see Shortall play forward and man oh man what a show he put on! I’d send Burbidge packing to jr b and leave shortall on forward. Almost had himself a goal as well off a pretty decent play. Very entertaining game, started to remind me of the old time rivalry. Be a very good 7 game series if they met in the playoffs

2 x 1st Round Picks and a 2nd Round Pick for Burbidge ............Justified ? I didn't like it then and I don't like it now . Loads of Talent .........just don't see the Passion from the Kid .

He has some tough habits I agree - effort at times seems to be low and disengaged but the upside is there and hopefully he can seek out another level as he is a huge part of this team next season

That's what scares me about what might happen to that Sea Dog Lottery Pick ........I want a Sure Thing for that .......not someone that they project might be one .

Just another Quick Comment on last night . I know we have had Record Breaking Snowfalls and the Municipality is doing it's best but I was genuinely concerned for the Seniors and Young Kids heading in and leaving the Rink last night . High Banks , icy roads , no sidewalks ........I hope that before the next home game that things improve .

Getting 150cm at once has made it impossible to get everything clear. It's either accept some risk and try to keep the city functioning or literally lockdown for a few weeks so people can feel safe which just isn't logical.

Some night he's ready to go and is engaged, others it feels like he wants it to be a 1 man show. When you're paying what we are for some of these guys you have to have high expectations. There's no room for mulligans when you're spending multiple 1sts for players.

Those first 10 minutes really felt like it was heading for a 8-7 type of night.
Some bigger picture questions I have after a game like that:
Who is everyone rolling with in goal for game 1 of the playoffs? And more importantly: If you lose...are you changing it up for game 2?
If the season is on the line do you want Shortall on line 4 or Desjardins on the 3rd D pairing?
Big goal from Cam MacDonald. Have we found the chemistry needed to keep him going? He seems to have a bit more jump now. Him producing is a key in the playoffs.
Burbidge has gone 15 games without a goal. 7 assists over those games. Say what you want. That's not the production we expected and its disappointing all around. This team has a tough time getting out of round 1 if everyone isn't firing on all cylinders.
