Special addition Sportszone tonght with Mike Luck

Mike emailed me to let my spread the word David Branch and Rocco Tullio are the two guests in this special hour long show tonight at 9pm on rogers cable 10.

It's a season wrap-up/playoff preview. But our guests will include David Branch and Rocco Tullio! And we will be opening the phonelines (1-888-ROGERS- for questions for both,although for technical reasons you won't be able to ask questions directly to Rocco, but if anyone has a question they'd like me to ask, they can email me, (mike@ckdo.ca) or post it on the board and I will do my best to ask it.

My ? to Mr Branch would be -

Why doesn't the OHL adopt an in or out rule

All players to be drafted should sign in to be drafted

We have to end players not reporting but being drafted

RE - Lessio & Biggs

I like the rule in principle but there would be nothing to stop a player from saying they're "in" to reserve a spot and then bolting anyways. The only real solution would be a working agreement between the CHL and the NCAA but that would never happen.

Agreed, and no chance of happening. The NCAA will not budge on the matter of stipends.

It's past my bedtime.

I'm curious if people think that the U.S. winning world jr. gold does any harm to the CHL's chances of landing certain prospects that may be otherwise considering going the NCAA route............

Did any one watched Sportzone if so please post as I can't watch the program as I have Shaw Direct

Yes - first 30 minutes was Mr.Branch- who did not like the adopt in rule as players freedom is gone but offered no way out of this mess of drafting players then not reporting.

The last 30 started with interview with Roger L - who stated our Big problem was in net this year

Then some phone calls and some even suggesting drafting a Big guy on Defense - my hope is with our 1st and 2nd pick we get bigger faster forwards who can score then a big DEE then a puck stopper

Next yr we need someone to play with Jenner
