only good thing in that video was selanne comforting alfie on his loss

Comforting men is what Selanne does best.


Who is going to replace Cowen for the season?

Karlsson - Gonchar
Methot - Phillips
Gilroy (eww) - ??

Gimme soms Brian Lee or Rundblad, FUCK

gilroy doesn't play for us anymore silly

Methot - Karlsson
Gonchar - Phillips
Lundin - Boro/Wiercioch/Benoit


did anyone head out to the practice today? I did, ceci paired with phillips, noesen played with JOB and k-daug, silf with spezz/michalek. all looked pretty good, especially in net

Yeah sorry, it was Lundin I was thinking about lol. Either way who do you think will step up

Practice was at the Sensplex?

Don't think Noesen or Ceci have a chance. Zibby and Silfvergay do though and will likely make the team

it was at scotiabank place and it was 50% off all merchandise
well with lundin injured we're pretty much obligated to trade/sign for a d-man, hopefully a top 4 not a depth d-man
i think benoit will take the 6th spot, if not him then wiercioch
i highly doubt ceci or noesen make it but they both looked pretty good today, noesen had an absolutely beautiful tip on one of karlssons shots from the point

Yeah I'm kinda expecting us to make a trade for a D, unless they think we can bring 2 AHLers to fill the spots... In reality would be a terrible move

So,

Michalek - Spezza - Silfverberg
Latendresse - Turris - Alfredsson
Hoffman - Regin - Neil
Greening - Smith - Condra
O'Brien / Daugavins

Methot - Karlsson
Wiercioch - Gonchar
Phillips - Benoit / Borowiecki


Anderson
Bishop / Lehner

Should be our opening lineup.

Wow... lots of new faces.


Scouting report on some of these guys please?

Silfverberg won both the season and playoffs MVP in the SEL last year. After a relatively slow start in the AHL this year he's been lightning it up for the last 15 games or so and is definately Binghamton best skater this year. The guy is a leader and have an exceptional shot. He could very well be Spezza new Heatley's in a couple of season.

Hoffman was arguably Binghamton best player last year. He's a speedy forward and has a pretty good shot. He's having a so-so year in Binghamton this season but apparently the management think he's ready since he's been playing with Regin and Neil for the whole training camp.

Methot was traded for Foligno. I honestly have no clue what to expect from him, but apparently he looked alright in the camp so far.

Wiercioch is a big and tall, altought not really physical defensemen. He's more of an offensive defencemen and will likely be playing on the 2nd PP unit to start the year. IMO he's been the 2nd best skater on Binghamton after Silfverberg this year.

Benoit is an AHL veteran who spent last year in the KHL. I don't expect much from him, he's doing everything well but he does not stand out. I guess he could be fine playing on the bottom pairing but that's pretty much it.

Borowiecki spent last year in the AHL, and was arguably the best defensemen on Binghamton. People were expecting him to push for a roster spot even if Cowen and Lundi were not injured but he's having a pretty disapointing season so far. He's making alot of stupid mistake and is taking way to many penalties. If he ever makes the NHL it will be in a defensive role. He's not afraid of anyone though, and is willing to drop the glove if needed ( he has 96 PIM in 25 games so far ).

I'd give a more detailed scouting report but I'm working tomorow and need to go to bed
