Brian Wilde today on the radio pointed out that the best line yesterday was Geoffrion, Holland and Leblanc, but said he was disappointed with Leblanc, crediting the other two more.

Team White takes 4-2 lead on goal by Steve Quailer (Michael Bournival, Brendan Gallagher). 4:00 left in 2nd per. in @BulldogsAHL intra-squad
Is that the 2nd line? They seem to be clicking.
Then you can go Blunden - Nattinen - Dumont as your 3rd.
Another point by Bournival. I really hope he comes through man. I really do feel like he's always overlooked by this board in the O'byrne trade.
I agree. I really hope he becomes a good player for this team. He seems like a great team guy, and he's got skill in addition.
Interesting hear about Quailer. Is that 2 goals now? For me he's always been an interesting prospect because of the tools he possesses. He's big and skilled, I hope he has a big year in Hamilton.

Great for Quailer. He sort of fail off the radar with the whole missed season due to injury.

On the fourth they will need a couple of big guys (enforcers) to keep the opponents honest. I guess Hagel, Schultz and Stortini will be in the line up for many games.

I think the wingers will be Schultz, Stortini and Hagel with a centre who's capable.

-----------------------------------------
These are the players that remain right now.
If they have to get the number down to 21 then here are my guesses for cuts:
Philip Lefebvre, Stephen MacAulay, Kevin Gagne, Ettiene Boutet, Alexander Avtsin, Robert Mayer, Bobby Farnham, one of Hagel or Stortini and Alain Berger
I think they will end up keeping Corbin over Gagne because he is bigger and more defensive. They have Nash, Beaulieu and St. Denis as offensive blueliners already.

Why keep ******* stortini or hagel, they have zero chance to make nhl. Schultz has the chance!! ****!!!
Clearly they don't feel that he does have that chance to play in the NHL.
Or this could be a wake up call to him, go play in the ECHL with your career on the line. I don't think I read a single tweet about what he was doing in these intrasquad games aside from 1 fight, which probably means he was invisible.
