Six questions I can't answer

  • Who will back up Adam Brown in goal? Is it Chase Martin or Jordon Cooke?
  • How many 16 year-old rookies will the Rockets carry this season? Tyrell Goulbourne, Jason Siebert, Colton Heffley and Damon Severson fall in that category. Severson is the youngest of the group after turning 16 in early August.
  • Who are the three overage players that will see regular duty? Bloodoff and Wudrick were at NHL rookie camps while Wall and Matheson were trying to impress the coaches in Kelowna.
  • If rookies Colton Scissons and Zach Franko earn spots, what two veteran forwards are shown the exit?
  • Do we see more than two veteran forwards on the move? If Gal Koren and Andreas Stene stick, which I expect them to, who else is shown the door?
  • Will Shane McColgan be ready for opening night? McColgan gets his tonsils out tomorrow.

Here are my thoughts Regan.

Who will back up Adam Brown in goal? Is it Chase Martin or Jordon Cooke?
- Not sure, have not seen any action in the pre-season yet. But I think Cooke might look cool on a Jersey? HAH

- I think Siebert and Severson are shoe ins as the 16's this year. I think their performances last year speak for themselves.

Who are the three overage players that will see regular duty? Bloodoff and Wudrick were at NHL rookie camps while Wall and Matheson were trying to impress the coaches in Kelowna.
- As Much as I commend Matheson's hard work over the summer and give monster props to him for that, I think it will end up being Bloodoff, Wall, and Wudrick as our 20's this year.

If rookies Colton Scissons and Zach Franko earn spots, what two veteran forwards are shown the exit?
- IF they both earn a spot I think you will end up seeing, two of either Adolph, Ito and Astles gone. I'm glad I am not the one making the decisions as these are all amazing players.

Do we see more than two veteran forwards on the move? If Gal Koren and Andreas Stene stick, which I expect them to, who else is shown the door?
- First off I would like to point out that on the rockets website, We have........apparently.......a player that was born today. No, seriously, Today. September 16, 2010. Stene's Birthday is wrong I *think* unless Hamilton plans on pulling a fast one on the league. Anyways, If those two also make the roster, I think you might end up seeing, and this is not to say these players don't belong here or are not good, they are incredible, but if they were able to outperform them, You might see Main and Chikie out.

Will Shane McColgan be ready for opening night? McColgan gets his tonsils out tomorrow.
- Yes. It's 9 days to opening night, and I've had friends perfectly recovered from tonsilectomy or whatever it's called, 4-5 days after the surgery, I think he will be fine, just not very vocal. So in that respect, the coaches may very well just let him rest for an extra week before they infuse him into the mix.
