I did not think it was that poorly worded. Just a simple ask of what other hockey clubs you think are among the best at the junior hockey cycle. Despite being “not entirely sure” and having your “best guess” you somehow managed to to eventually get to where I wanted to go, but hey, I understand the need to come across intelligent on a message board. Especially given the whole chess theme that ties into my original post. So if trying to paint me as inept really makes you feel good about yourself when you log off. Then give yourself a pat on the back. If your interpretation was to be able to be a perennial contender as an example of playing chess then it most certainly is. For myself it would be the Sea Dog’s ability to manage the assets they have, recognizing their competitive window, having a draft where they acquire some of the best 16 year old D-Men in this league and are able to add Joshua Roy to the mix. They recognized their surplus on D and traded Larose for Alex Drover who will be an excellent 17 year old this season. Its a system that rewards the worst performing teams so having middle of the pack down years doesn’t really demonstrate to me some sort of worldly ability to stay ahead of the curve. Such an “extreme” analogy I know. As poor as my question that didnt need to be validated, but gosh darn it you took your “best guess” and gave it anyway :’), just couldn’t resist, right? I was actually trying to be polite and did not intend to sound like I was attacking you or trying to make myself sound intelligent. I'm not a grammar Nazi. It's not like I called you out for ending a sentence with a preposition, something I often do because I really don't care. These boards are full of grammatical errors and my posts are no exception but most of the time the poor grammar or poor wording does not cause the intended message to be lost. I was simply looking for clarification as to what you were asking and explaining my response in case I was wrong with my assumption. As I suggested, I was able to come up with a decent guess but only due to the context, because the wording was indeed poor in response to my comment. Had I said "There are other teams playing chess too.", it would have been perfectly fine. Anyway, it's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. You likely read my message and just wrote a quick response without putting much thought into it and that's fine. It happens to all of us from time to time, so as far as I'm concerned there is no need to get defensive. In the interest of not wanting to sound condescending or like I'm trying to sound intelligent and since we've already gone further down this rabbit hole than any of us care for, I'll just leave it at that and won't explain why the wording was poor. Now that that's out of the way, do you disagree with the 2 examples I gave of RN and Halifax? If so, why? No argument here. Hal and Rou are model teams and good representatives of the QMJHL. |

I agree with the thoughts on the Drover/Larose trade. It should prove to be a great move in the long-run for the Sea Dogs. I look forward to seeing what both he and Stairs are able to do during their first full season with the Sea Dogs.
The loss of Larose will likely be felt this season more so than any other season. Campoli and Gagne are now gone and the Sea Dogs are projected to have four 17-year olds as their Top 4. Had Larose not been traded he almost certainly would have been back as a 20 for 2020-2021 but another 20 can be brought in easily enough and the Top 4 will be a year older.

They have added goalie Noah Patenaude to the pre season roster. I have to imagine with adding Patenaude they plan on moving Tommy Da Silva out. Can let Savoie develop for a bit longer too and maybe if all looks good move Bouthillier at the deadline and Run Patenaude-Savoie for the rest of the season. If not keep Bouthillier and move to that lineup next season. |

From Jeff Marek of sportsnet
Interesting note from the Hlinka/Gretzky Cup - tomorrow Canada plays Switzerland and a story with the Swiss goalie Noah Patenaude is developing. His dad is from Chateauguay, Quebec and Noah has been a Canadian citizen since '09. And nobody knew.
Patenaude grew up playing in the Swiss program but is leaving to play with the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. Nothing official yet but I'd expect an announcement at the end of the tournament. The CHL has already approved the deal.

Poirier makes it 1 - 0 Canada. Maybe they will both have great games and Canada will win 2 - 0 and Poirier sets up a nice goal later on. Patenaude stops 46 of 48 shots.

Well I was a little off on the amount of saves that he would make but he did face 48 shots. Canada out shot them 48 - 8. It sounds like they spent the entire game in the Swiss zone. 1st 2nd 3rd Total 14 21 13 48 |
