Big thanks to Coach Pearson for releasing his lineup to us.I've got a couple of thoughts about this lineup tonight:


1) It's an important game for our defenceman. Spiess, Iron, and Brodbin are all likely to log big minutes tonight and I'm sure that Spiess and Iron in particular will be looking to be more consistent.


2) This list of forwards for tonight's game is impressive.However it means nothing unless these 12 play better at both ends of the ice. Guys like Morgan, Tatchell, Dunser, Wakelin and Waskewitch are going to be under to microscope tonight. Which ones will rise to the top?

3) If Kyle Birch's stay in Medicine Hat becomes permanent, you could very well expect to see Coleman Young or Spencer Laycock as a backup this year. Will Young seperate himself from Laycock tonight?

4) Will the vets lead by example? Against a younger Nipawin team, guys like Peake, Wall, Graf etc. Will no doubt get their chances. It will be key for these players to start gaining confidence sooner than later.


----------------

The Flin Flon Bombers traded 19 year old forward Cole Wilson to the BCHL today. This was a total surprise. Wilson is a great talent and someone who I thought could have been a 70 point guy this year. I wonder why. He was dealt to Westside for future considerations. I will try get an answer soon.

See you at the rink tonight!
