I think you're right here, DG ... Colborne is set to have a break out game. He was looking damn good by the end of the Vadger series. Once he figures out the speed of the college game compared to what he came from -- look out WCHA and D1!

Colborne will break out, guaranteed. It may not be this weekend or next, but it will happen. He has too much hockey sense and smarts to go along with his puck skills to not make an impact.
