Lane not in the lineup because of injured groin.....
O'Brien looked great tonight
MacCausland looked to control the play
Barbaerio is looking great.....Savard much more aggressive
Should be a fun year

Red
Gormley - 1st time I've seen him. I thought he played a good game. Patience is the key with him.
Bissonnette - Played not bad, He'll be on opening day roster.
Barberio - His usual self
Kidd - Think he played ok, can't see him being the backup to Riopel.
Cameron - Still floating around like usual.
Biduke - Looks like he's lost 15+ lbs, I thought his speed has improved with the lost of the weight. Still slow but better then last year!
White
Dimitruk - Best D besdies Barberio. I can see him being #2 Defenseman behind Barberio by Xmas.
Bell - Big, Slow but played decent, I think he'll make team
Savard - Seemed to have improved, looks faster then last yr. Again #2 or #3 D type.
Domingue - I like him, He'll be the backup to Riopel.

My thoughts....
Blain- was good last night but tonight seemed to struggle. Won't make it O'Brian- This kids hockey IQ is far ahead of his skill, I'd bet anything he's leading in points in camp. I can see him being the 13 forward. Daoust- I like this guy, he's got a great shot, strong on the puck, he'll make a great power forward McAusland- Looked great out there, I can see him having a great year Stephens- Hmmm....he'll be on the bubble Brenton- Other than his shootout goal (which is the second breakaway goal I've ever seen him get) I did't even notice him. Another one on the Bubble. Barberio-is just awesome, his skating has improved greatly Bidduke- lost about 20lbs I'm sure (10lbs meat, 10lbs haircut). He looked great out there. Bisonnette- is our best 16 yr old IMO, he has this 20yr old confidence to him, not cocky, just seems to be 100% sure on everything he does, even the small things. He's a lock IMO. Roski- Is another one that I can't see not making this team, he looks great. Gormley- is a little dissapointing so far. The main reason is of course because of all the hype that comes with him. I think his offense looks great but his defense not so. His all around passing ability is amazing though. Downe- Is pretty good but will probably not make it this year. I can see him back as a 17 yr. Dimitruk-looks like a vet out there, very impressive.
As far as goaltending goes, Dominge has the job ( you may also notice his RBK gear with his name on it a la WCs no doubt). I heard earlier this year that they wanted to send him back to AAA for more experince but I really think there is no one nearly as good as him. Liberatore is the second best out there and I can't see him beating out Domingue. Domingue is has great form and rebound control but I think he has a little rust that will have no problem being washed away via Frantz.

Threw quite a few solid hits, couple scoring chances and created some offence. But that was from my perspective.

I heard Tomorrow's Lineup will be all rookies. Not 1 of the 14 Vets will suit up.

Some of my thoughts on tonights scrimmage..
White
Dimitruk - Looked like a veteran out there. Really wish this kid could've been here last year. Makes good decisions out there.
Bell - Big kid. Looked good out there. Could sure use his size.
O'Brien - Hit the scoresheet a few times.
Sill - No real comment on his play, just looking forward to seeing him as captain.
MacAusland - Looked good there. He seemed to control the play at times. Looking forward to seeing what he can do this year, if he's healthy.
Domingue - He's a big kid. Played real well. I think he'll be the guy to back up Riopel.
Red
Gormley - I don't think he played too bad. He needs to bulk up some and fill out. Interested to see what he developes into.
Biduke - The guys looking good. He's dropped 15 pounds they say.. it could be more. He's dropped wait and he's a bit faster. With the shape he's in and his touch around the net, I hope he can produce 30-40 goals.
Bissonnette - He had some good shifts. Might not make this squad, but he will be a part of the Wildcats in the future.
Barberio - His skating has improved and I just love watching this kid. And he's still only 18!
