Lineup for the Dogs Saturday

Owens - Dumont - Blunden
Tarnasky - Macenauer - Leblanc
Zurevinski - Nattinen - Fournier

Tinordi - Dietz
Beaulieu - Pateryn
Chouinard - McIver

Mayer

My thoughts:

- Fournier looked fine after missing hockey for a few weeks. Didn't look bad in his tilt with HW Staubitz. Hit the post on a nice setup by Nattinen, who looks very strong on faceoffs, he was even used for the last few ones at the end of the game. Good game for the two of them.

- Leblanc is clearly driving his line forward, Tarnasky is struggling when he has the puck and Macenauer is not very good, for a guy who has already played in the NHL. Good game for Louis, good hustle on a few plays.

- Dumont and Blunden are very good AHLers, with their speed they are always dangerous. It says a lot about the step between the AHL and the NHL, Blunden looks like a borderline player in the NHL, but in the AHL he's dominant. Dumont should be the 13th forward next year for the Habs.

- Owens didn't look half bad, but I don't think there is much offensively in his game, just makes the good simple plays, no turnovers, he can play in that league.

- Thomas/Holland/St-Pierre were the best line by far. Holland is probably the best Bulldog player right, he was dangerous multiple times during the game, Thomas and him seem to have built some chemistry.

- Good game overall for Beaulieu, a few turnovers, but he's smart enough, or fast enough to recover from those mistakes. When he's on the ice it's pretty apparent.

- Tinordi and Pateryn were rock solid, Greg has a good shot, and he isn't afraid to use it. Tinordi wins most of his share of board battles, he's not far from the NHL. Pateryn still fumbles the puck a few times per game, but he's getting there too.

- Dietz looks frail physically compared to the other D's. Average game for him. He didn't do much on the PP, and was not used in the last 5 minutes or so. He was alright defensively, and was good on breakouts beside Tinordi.

My thought - Leblanc is a third line player......IN THE AHL!!!!

Leblanc's a 3rd line winger in the AHL ?

Lefebvre runs his team a bit like the Habs, the 3 first lines see pretty much the same amount of ice in 5on5 and PP.

Behind prospects like Mike Blunden.

I think we can ALL give up on Leblanc. Even QP.

Nattinen's a 4th line center...??? I thought he was supposed to be a decent prospect.

it's unanimous: Torre, La Russa, Cox to Hall of Fame.

He's a pretty bad skater. But defensively and in the faceoff he's pretty good. Engqvist all over again.

Far from future superstar stats, but he's the 2nd best scorer on the team with 13 pts in 20 games, 7 pts behind St-Pierre.

Andrighetto is the best offensive prospect on the team, followed by Thomas, Leblanc and Holland.

Knowing that we have good AHL players in the AHL really makes me happy.

Please post EE's lineup again.
- BingoLady

Wasn't me...Waterboy did that.

But if it gets re-posted, just know that I'm no longer hurt, hopefully that moves me up in the depth chart...1st or 2nd line forward or top pairing D.

*crosses fingers*

Happy Birthday stinger

For the first ten years of my life I thought I had a "nom composé"...:

boy's name - boy's name - girl's name - #23...

always wondered why there was a girl's name in there...

the only forward I'm slightly interested about there is Andrighetto...and he's injured.
