lane is just hurting team chemistry for one, how would you feel if you were lahey or bissonnette, they could be playing with roski, who has had half the amount of fights that lane has had 2, hello hello-- but he has to sit in the stands so lane can play 2-3 shifts makes no sense to me!

I think You'll see Cats get rid of Lane after Xmas, and find someone for example Travis Stacey from Gatineau in his place... What exactly would that accomplish?  |

Obviously they have chemistry problems, not being 18-0-0 and all... |

lol i guess the chemistry is good, but i really feel lane is not worth it, who will want to trade for him hes 19, if he was 16 or 17 maybe then i would say keep him but at 19 we have better options than him in my opinion!

Lane did exactely what was asked of him, had a good fight, played some decent shifts, and, most importantly, was our 'guard dog', so to speak when the score was out of hand.
I don't care how scary he may or may not be, if it gets dirty, somebody would have to fight him.
And you know, when he went to the net in his last shift, I didn't see any Mooseheads willing to 'send a message' prior to next weekends game. I also didn't see the stickwork that we've had to tolerate in the past when someone of his size and willingness to fight wasn't on the bench.
Check out the end of their last game against Saint John and you won't question why he was dressed tonight.

I know there's no fighting in Univeristy hockey. So far He only fights in a 1/3 of his games anyways, I'm sure he could be a protector out there, haha |

Spencer?  Your comparing him to Spencer? Wow....you can't be talking about Lane. I know Spencer wasn't the best on our team back in the cup year but he is twice the payer than Lane is. |

What I mean is both were project players. Spencer came to camp in '05 in pretty rough shape... he needed to get on some sort of conditioning program in order to be capable of playing in this league on a nightly basis. Had Spencer not worked at developing what (very raw) skills he had, he would've been cut from camp early on. Same goes for Lane. I remember one exhibition game (might've been against the Sea Dogs)... Lane looked pretty good out there. He kept up with the play and looked effective around the net. I believe he even had an assist in the game. Of course, that was in a game vs. several players who were not major junior calibre. It was one of those middle of camp games where it wasn't all rookies... but definately not laden with veteran talent either. Still... a bit of raw skill was evident. Tonight, Jordan Lane looked alot like the player I saw in that pre-season game... except for the fact he was playing against a roster full of players who are of major junior calibre (to varying degrees, of course... but still better than what he would've opposed in that pre-season game). His skating has improved... he is not a liability out there... he is capable of crashing the net (the line of Lane-Lahey-Bissonette created at least a couple of decent chaces tonight)... and he DOES keep the opposition honest, despite what others may think. He brings a presence onto the ice simply by being huge. Even in this "kinder, gentler Q"... that accounts for something. In terms of skill level Spencer obviously had an edge... however, my main point is they are very much the same player in that with proper conditioning and development they could be an asset to the team... even if it's just for a few shifts in select games. At the end of the day, Jordan Lane is doing nothing to get himself taken off this team... and that's another thing he has in common with Spencer. |

At the end of the day, Jordan Lane is doing nothing to get himself taken off this team... and that's another thing he has in common with Spencer. Point taken but IMO Lane doesn't have the ability to keep up with the play, especially when we are rolling 4 lines like we did if not better than 06. I understand what your saying about Spencer but at least he had some skating ability and potential, Lane has two left feet and hands of stone. One play in particular was a two on one with I believe Bisonette, the D played Bisonette giving no credit to Lane and nor did Bisonette thus ending in a shot that from my angle didn't have much to shoot at. In the end, I think Lane may not be on our team post xmas and if he is, will be playing only against the weaker teams to police. I think its too important to build that 4th (if you can call it that) line with Bisonette, Roski and Petterson....or whom ever is on that line that night. |

I think you need to pull out some tapes of 3 years ago, Lane skates as well possibly better than Spencer. Spencer was quicker but being 4-5 inches shorter will do that. |
