you think maybe we can get Monumental to broadcast the Bears games instead of the Caps until they get this shit-show sorted out?


So I don't follow the AHL closely at all, but is the Bears success due to good young talent or the fact the team has about 50% pretty decent career AHL talent with lots of experience?  I mean I know the team has some veteran AHL guys, but is the ratio the same for other AHL squads or do the Bears have an abundance?


HAH!  I think I can add a tuppence here.    :wackysmile:

We have an amazingly fabulous fella in our chain of Caps schools of development.  He and his brother run the London Knights, I believe???  One tier down from the AHL, I think.

He came in as an emergency replacement after "he who cannot be named"    :O= :O= :O=   made such a balls up.

It's coaches like him that have spotted and trained the raw talent and instilled in them the basics, that is then sent to the AHL and then to us.

If anybody is in any doubt, I give you the great Dale Hunter!

What happens to the players when they get to us is another story........ :-|

I haven’t seen any news about Sandin yet today. I guess we will find out when tomorrows lineup is announced.

Sandin was a full participant in this morning’s practice, but he’s still listed as a game time decision.

Phillips is a waste of a spot on the 4th line.  We'd be better off with Malenstyn. wait hes on there.
so who else we got?  Not knocking Phillips, but since Mantha as recaptured his scoring touch  :lol: , and moved up to L3, I just don't see Phillips as a 4th line guy

They're both wasted on those lines. Mantha was perfect 4th liner imo.

yeah i dont know if the line matters...Mantha scored on the 4th line, but assisted McMike with Backy, and Milanos was taken away.  Mantha "had" 3 points with 3 different lines essentially,
but Phillips..meh, prove us wrong kid
