Try him there and see what happens. I am not impressed with his strength. I hope next summer he trains hard on his base strength. For his size his Legs should be oak tree trunks. In my opinion though… Omark if he can click with Hemmer, makes very formidable 3 lines of attack and a tenacious 4th line where likely Cogs will get moved since i have REALLY liked Ondrus (which i wasnt expecting at all).

What are your thoughts on ondrus?
BTW Hall has chirped a few times already at officials when it wasnt necessary and tried looking for blood on a hold. I am worried about this because i did find him a bit of a gretzky in the chirping ways early on last season but seemed to change for a bit then kind of got the habit back in playoffs. Its annoying. I hope he learns to shut up. I think the Oilers are respected in the game by officials for not diving and not complaining too much. I think it was Daniella that told the Canucks to stop the chirping this year with the officials…a rather direct statement at Burrows and Kesler. His statements were; that it was infectious and made other players chirp or hassle officials which give officials reason to ignore their talks when they have a case. Also Daniel pointed out that it takes players off their own games. I think it was a brave and intelligent statement…by a nuck…weird.
Id like the chirping to be talked about by Renney. You know what if you get cut…dont chirp just make sure the ref sees the blood dripping. You dont have to point it out…officials look for it on their own. Be a man.. dont complain. Officials if they miss something and you dont embarass them or look like an A%$ will make it up to you.
Which brings me to Burrows. I have no problem whatsoever with an official evening the score if he got conned into making a call. Acting is not pert of hockey…thats soccer… i hope officials continue to get players back and show favoritism to sportsmalike teams. It happens in real life, it should happen in sport. If you are trust worthy… people respect you and keep it in mind when a close call needs to be made. It could end up getting you an extra 6-10 points really in a season. It could come down to a key call in the playoffs. Treat officials with respect. They know when they are wrong.
The only time i would yell at a ref is when a players health is a factor … in which case id say simply that MacI, ONdrus, VAndermeer, etc etc etc will take care of the officiating for the rest of the game if they dont.

This is another reason i think Horc gets the C. I hardly ever see him complain to a ref and when he does he has a strong case. I dont remember a case where a ref didnt listen to him when he voiced an issue. He picks his spots and is respected. Moreau was the exact opposite.

oh BTW loved the “jesus H Hodgeson”… sounds like Jesus H Hemsky for the OIl faithful loonies, blessed be his name.

Omark was great, but I have to wonder if he’s a bit of a one man show… that can be good, can be bad. It seems to somehow work for him, but I wonder for how long though. But I’m not worried about him just yet.

Fourth line Cogs Fraser and Storts on 4th.

Vandermeer impressed me with his stick work and not trying to score on his shots but just trying to make a rebound. Petry needs seasoning.

But it’s OK get in the chat!

The more the merrier, and might as well get in there now
