So did he play tonight? I don't want to play the Canes in the 1st round....

[shushu]

it still strikes me as weird that the game sheet would all of a sudden list sbisa the last two games..one game could be a mistake but two makes aperson wonder.....we all know that to sit this kid is a mistake but to make him play as a boy in a man league would be even bigger of one..so the dicision will have to be made sooner oppossed to later.......im still hoping luca comes back....ps sounded like bancks and beach had a great night .......great job boys......sbtatter, listen to some of the game and didnt hear his name so i would say that a no......................

We sure could have used him last night in Red Deer. I certainly don't dislike the acquiring of Beach but last night with only 4 d-men for the Canes we have perhaps run ourselves short with the trading away of Therieau and Sutherland . The question I had was why we did not use Castro on a more regular basis or at least bring up a drafted d-men on a look see basis such as Hulik for this weekend? We also missed the checking abilty of Orfino and King as they sat out their suspensions. On Friday night I spoke with one of the board of governors for the Canes and his words were quote what do you expect from a board that is headquartered in Calgary. The certainly made sure that King was not around for the match up with the Hitmen, My comment was that it appears to have two standards in this league one if you are owned by the NHL brass or if your coaches or management have links to Team Canada. over the next few weeks I intend to look at that correlation in terms of suspensions and if I am wrong will admit it but let the research begin.

Luca Sbisa, D/W
2009/01/24: The Philadelphia Flyers have assigned rookie defenseman Luca Sbisa back to the WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes. INTEL: Sbisa, who turns 19 next week, was a frequent healthy scratch recently, and also had a stint as a winger because of injuries up front. With seven healthy defensemen now in Philly, the club is doing the right thing by sending Sbisa where he can receive more ice time. He should be back with the Flyers as a regular blueliner next season, though he'll still have junior eligibility in 2009-10 as well.

I said it earlier that our lack of WHL calibre D-men will be our downfall, with only 6 of them available in all. Injuries are gonna kill us. We have a plethora of top notch forwards so I would have rather seen the Canes get Nick Ross than Beach. That idiot Alexander not wanting to report in the Beach trade just before the trade dealine really screwed us. Friday night we had 4 D-men and 2 were in the penalty box so we had a grand total of 2 D-men able to play. Ridiculous!!

Thanks OS. I still hasn't happened until the two teams involved announce it.
I do expect it to happen and where there is smoke this is most often fire.
Our roster needs a full compliment of players so bad.
If you include Sbisa in the count then we have six regulars missing from our lineup. Sbisa, Boychuk, Orfino, Versteeg, King, and Mestery. This has me thinking of what our full lineup could look like.

Ashton - Boychuk - Sceviour
Beach - Bancks - King
Braes, Hoff, Orfino, Sutter, Taylor, Castro, Henke, Fyten, Reners

Wright - Mestery
Sbisa - Yadlowski
Ryckman - Versteeg
Ross

Metsola - Tadjdeh

btw, my whipping boys Braes and Fyten have been putting up great numbers the last ten games. :skeptical

Most would say King got off lucky coming off the bench use to be 10 games automatically for the first player and 5 for the second, section 9 rule 70-10 which luckily for the canes is no longer in effect.http://whl.ca/WHL-Rulebook-s11102
