I call shenanigans ! LMAO

Ah well, I'll take solace in the fact that the blown call on the RTK decided the game. LOL

Holy crap. Thanks Hank.

No, it's unreasonable to excuse stupidity.

Wow, you're just a non-stop excuse machine eh?

Ottawa doesn't deserve to win with such gutless playcalling. ******* idiots.

Yeah, how's that call looking now? FFS.

That doofus should be running laps for a week.

Stupid PI, this could cost the game.

Monster holding on that pass. Officials are shameless.

Ottawa playing not to lose. That FG call was a gallon of weaksauce. Didn't they lose the BC game with similar gutlessness?

Speaking of Marcellus Bowman... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WocqLDZVgw

Fixed that for ya.

Ottawa tacklers looked like the Keystone Cops on that Dressler run.

The implosion over on riderfans.com is hilarious! The schadenfreude is delicious...

How is that NOT roughing the kicker? God the officiating in this league is beyond pathetic.

What a friggin tank.

No it isn't. It's on the thief. Period.

Glad to see Proulx the Fool and his incompetent crew got that RTP call right. LMAO.

You driven around The 'Peg lately? Roads are bad all over the country. A lot of it is simply to do with weather. I'm sure the state of streets in WInnipeg are directly related to them not being maintained for the last 10 years. Sam Katz and his crooked cronies too busy lining their own pockets and spending money on their pet projects.

Well I think his record speaks for itself. With or without Drouin most analysts think he's a franchise player. But yeah, if he goes down, too bad he can't go to the rock, that would be better for him IMO.

Ehlers could be a Patrick Kane kinda guy. There is nothing left for him to learn in Halifax. He's going to be a superstar in the NHL, better sooner than later ;-). I hope they all get a very good look.Because he looked good in a rookie tournament? Come on now. I don't disagree that Ehlers has a lot of potential, but to suggest there's nothing left to learn in the CHL is just crazy. Staying in juniors has never ruined a prospect. Especially one who is on the smaller side. Nothing wrong with letting him bulk up and work on some things against his peers. Eberle isn't the best comparable since I think Ehlers is a better skater, but Eberle was certainly not hurt by finishing his junior career even if he probably could have played in the NHL right away.No because of his body of work last year in Halifax And staying juniors too long can hamper development, that's a fact. I'd like to see him here if he can make the cut. Like I said every player is different. Size never hurt Kane, Giroux or St Louis and they haven't exactly bulked up have they? Ehlers is listed anywhere from 163-175, he could stand to put on about 10 pounds and then learn to play with that extra weight. I'd like to see what he does with a full season without Drouin. I'm not saying that Drouin inflated his totals, but a full season where Ehlers is the undisputed number one guy on that team would be good for him. Also, I don't think there are any spots available in the top six and he'd get a lot more ice time in Halifax. You're probably right. I'm no hockey genius and don't claim to be. I am however very excited about our top prospects and would love to see them make the team. I'm not so sure we're going to have any more success standing pat than we had last year. Maurice in today's presser did emphasise 3 new systems he's going to employ this year. I'm looking forward to seeing how that works, maybe it will bring the best out of the guys we have. I sure hope so. Our top prospects are going to be players at some point, and that's worth waiting for.

Agreed. If nothing else, it would show if he can be that dominant without Jonathon Drouin on his line. Ehlers: 2013-2014 CHL Rookie of the Year QMJHL All-Rookie Team QMJHL Best Plus/Minus (+65) QMJHL Best Professional Prospect "Mike Bossy Trophy" QMJHL Most Assists by Rookie (55) QMJHL Most Goals by Rookie (49) QMJHL Most Points by Rookie (104) QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year "Michel Bergeron Trophy" QMJHL Rookie of the Year QMJHL Second All-Star Team U20 WJC (D1A) Gold Medal Awards by league - CHL Rookie of the Year 13/14 - QMJHL All-Rookie Team 13/14 - QMJHL Best Plus/Minus 13/14 - QMJHL Best Professional Prospect "Mike Bossy Trophy" 13/14 - QMJHL Most Assists by Rookie 13/14 - QMJHL Most Goals by Rookie 13/14 - QMJHL Most Points by Rookie 13/14 - QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year "Michel Bergeron Trophy" 13/14 - QMJHL Rookie of the Year 13/14 - QMJHL Second All-Star Team 13/14 - U18 WJC (D1A) Gold Medal 12/13 - U18 WJC (D1A) Most Assists 12/13 - U20 WJC (D1A) Gold Medal 13/14 So what more do you think he can do in Junior? He's gonna get a shot like every other prospect in camp, I don't know why anyone would be opposed to him making the team.
