Quebec looked beatable before the first round and at the beginning of the playoffs. One of the reasons was that Fucale and Duclair didn't look good.
In the second round and especially in the third round, they started being their old self. At this point, Quebec went from being a good team to a great team. A month ago, losing 3 top 9 players including two overagers would have meant the end, on Monday and on Tuesday, it didn't even look like they were missing depth. A lot of credit goes to Fucale and the 1st line of Etchegary-Erne-Duclair. When your top players play like that, the rest of your team looks good.

Maybe on the PP but not at even strength. I think against Quebec they should have put Sweeney and Johnston together to play against the Etchegary line, Tassi looked completely overmatched. If you think Sweeney & Talbot-Tassi are only paired on the power play then you DON'T watch the game and/or Can't see/forgot your glasses if applicable T-Tassi and Sweeney were on the ice together for Quebec's first two goals last night. Johnston and Sweeney were together on the 7th goal.

i agree with arnold...i saw 90% of wildcats games this year and i would say for a 17 yr old Holwell played very well...in fact i think with the added pressure he did progress during the year and into the playoffs...i look forward to big things from him next year along with Malatesta..i think for OA it will be Johnston, beaton and sweeney...if sweeeney goes then Johnson Are you confusing Johnson and Johnston again? There is no way Garret Johnston is ahead of Stephen Johnson on the depth chart for 20's. There is if Sweeney is gone. I see it Sweeney, Johnston, Johnson ... but if Sweeney is back i'd be all for dealing him at the draft for a 1st + .

Sweeney can not be drafted. His 2 year draft window is up. Only way he does not return is if he gets pro tryout and assigned to AHL team. Otherwise I'm sure we will see him coughing up the puck plenty again next season. Mind you Melindy got signed by pro team so there is sure hope for Sweeney cause he is better than Melindy was. As for rest of the defence. I thought Klebanskyh/Malatesta were a good fit once Malatesta found his game in second half of season, just check they're plus minus. Holwell will be even better next year for sure he turned his game way up in the playoffs. Johnston I think his big issue some nights is his own confidence. Cause when he plays well he is very capable and when he's off he's way off Sweeney can definitely be drafted. There have been a few players drafted after their 19 year old season, recent example is Walcott from BBA. Murphy of Quebec is the same age, he is on the CSR list. If he isn't drafted then he becomes a FA. Think you better read up on NHL draft eligibility before you say word definitely. Jacob Sweeny is already 20. Which makes him ineligible for NHL draft. He can not turn 20 before the end of December to be eligible in that draft year. So at this moment is a FA open to invites and signing any pro contract he so chooses. Thx for coming out. Mr. Obviously you don't know everything

Mr. Obviously you don't know everything How do you explain Cameron Darcy being drafted at 20 years and 3 months old? 2015 is Sweeney's last year of eligibility. You're definitely wrong on this!

Mr. Obviously you don't know everything Obviously YOU didn't read up on the draft because Sweeney is eligible, the same as Murphy of Quebec and Darcy and Walcott were last year. In order not to be eligible he would have had to turn 20 before January 1st of 2015. Funny when the smartass is wrong...
