Sunday, March 9, 2008: Les Frontenacs six, Les Soixante-Septs trois
Pass. Weird how the Frontenacs could never win in Ottawa when they had a decent team and now they can’t lose there with a non-playoff team.
Four games to go; if the Fronts beat Sudbury on Friday that should clinch the No. 4 draft choice. This is just the lull before the real serious stuff in the off-season – will Doug Springer come to his senses and change the coach and GM and who will the Frontenacs draft.
Ideally, they would take a defenceman high, but between this draft being top-heavy with forwards and players who will go the USHL or college route, it’s hard zeroing in on a player who you can say, without a doubt, would actually thrive with the Frontenacs. (Plus it’s always creepy to talk about 15-year-old kids like they’re commodities.)
It would be nice if Erik Gudbranson, a big defenceman from Ottawa, could fall into the Fronts’ laps, but Mike Foligno would have to go into a coma in Sudbury before that would happen.
