Might have considered making the 4 hour trip had this been on the weekend. Should be an interesting game. Will Jonathan Drouin continue his rise and outshine his Halifax Mooseheads/Team Canada/Team Cherry teammate again?

 

[dash]

If I'm not mistaken, I think Nick Kypreos is behind one bench and Doug MacLean is behind the other bench. These two almost came to blows during the lockout. Might we see some fireworks tonight?

Didn't see much of the first period, but it's 1-0 Team Orr after one period. Guys are skating and hitting hard trying to impress the scouts.

 

[dash]

A scrap between Darnell Nurse and Curtis Lazar - Since Lazar is an Edmonton Oil King, I approve of Nurse pounding on him.

Fucale wants that one back...

2-0 Orr (Dauphin)

 

[dash]

Nick Petan (Portland) makes it 3-0 Orr (nice goal)

/lol - a WinterHawks player scores and they play "Chelsea Dagger"

Team Orr is taking it to Team Cherry - 3-0 after two periods and it easily could be 2 or 3 more.

Glad to see Team Orr out to a nice lead. (I have my reasons. ) They definitely seem to have the better defense led by non other than Seth Jones.

It couldn't be that Team Cherry has a couple of Halifax Mooseheads on their team, could it?

Nope!

It's the fact that they have 3 of them.

I find it difficult to cheer for a team that has a guy named Steven Harper on it as well...

That could be interesting if a Canadian team picks him.

 

[dash]

Nice burst of speed from Adam Erne on that rush - Of course, he plays for the Remparts and Patrick Roy, so I can't like him.

 

[dash]

I think I know why Nick Petan (from North Delta BC by the way) is leading the WHL in scoring. Great wheels and great hands.

 

[dash]

Max Domi (son of Tie) cross-checks MacKinnon in the back. Good to see the apple doesn't fall far from the Tie er tree...

 

[dash]

Make the final 3-0 for Team Orr.

Players of the game:

Team Cherry - Tristan Jarry (Oil Kings goalie)
Team Orr - Laurent Dauphin (forward for Chicoutimi I believe)

True. In Max's defense, he appears to be much more talented than Tie.
