first period summary anyone?

1-0 White on a goal by Downie 25 seconds into the game.

White has looked better overall.

It's Irving v. Price in net.

 

[Jori]

Rosters:

Red

White

 

[Langway]

Mathieu Perreault ties it up for Red.

 

[Doomsday Device]

I'm not sure why they keep calling him Jonathan Tavares. They were doing this on TSN as well.

 

[Langway]

Letang puts Red up 2-1 on a wrister.

On Tavares, maybe because he's been playing with Jonathan Toews?

 

[cstu]

Maxwell puts Red up 3-1 with a snipe from the slot.

 

[allin4466]

Maxwell puts Red up 3-1 with a snipe from the slot.

I think its actually closer to 4 or 5 right now.. no?

edit: I was wrong

Announcer says it's 3-1 at the end of the 2nd.

 

[Langway]

It's 3-1 through two.

Pretty close to being all Red in the second, with goals from Perreault, Letang and Maxwell.

Price & Irving were pulled with a little under 9 minutes to go in the period in favor of Bernier & Cann, respectively.

 

[Freaky Habs Fan]

How were the goaltenders so far?

 

[Langway]

None of the netminders have distinguished themselves just yet, imo.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Anyone have the assists?

 

[no Gino]

How were the goaltenders so far?

Irving let in a cheapie to Letang. Wrist shot from just inside the blueline.

 

[Langway]

Anyone have the assists?

I missed the assists on the Letang goal but here's the rest:

1--White--Downie (Unassisted), 0:25
2--Red--Perreault (Cogliano, Kohn), 1:23
2--Red--Letang (), 5:37
2--Red--Maxwell (McArdle, Giroux) 15:50
3--White--Pyatt (Alzner, Bertram) 12:45

 

[Langway]

3-2 Red is the final score.

After the game, each of the team's forwards competed in a shootout, with Bernier & Cann still in net. Helm, Pyatt, Bertram and Burki scored for White. Marchand, Perreault, Cogliano and Little scored for Red.

1--White--Downie (Unassisted), 0:25
2--Red--Perreault (Cogliano, Kohn), 1:23
2--Red--Letang (), 5:37
2--Red--Maxwell (McArdle, Giroux) 15:50
3--White--Pyatt (Alzner, Bertram) 12:45

The boxscore's up on Hockey Canada. There's just the one assist to Cogliano credited on Perreault's goal and Kohn got the assist on Letang's goal. Shots were 30-29 in favor of White.

I beg to differ on that one. Cann played very well in his time. Looked very poised and looked to have some definite lateral quickness. I think he was the best goalie tonight. Irving let in a softie and looked shaky at times while Price and Bernier just looked average.

 

[Freaky Habs Fan]

And he's the one who don't really have a chance to make the team...

Well, I'd written that before the third period when Cann upped his level of play a bit. Both he and Bernier were pretty good in the shootout, too, with Cann getting the slight edge. I'd have a tough time singling out an early favorite, though, since none of them stood on their heads.

Someone that's been to the practices could give a more thorough update.

 

[chsb]

I saw that Perreault also had a goal in the shootout....could someone describe both his goals?

Don't recall the SO goal but his goal in regulation was a fanned shot from the high slot that Irving misplayed. Three very weak goals this game by Downie, Perrault and Letang

 

[supermoon]

Can somebody elaborate on how the defensemen looked?

I really don't think he'll make the team, even as a backup. Price, Irving and Bernier are more than qualified. Unless he really seperates himself from the pack, I can't see it.

 

[Fedz]

Well, just so everyone knows TSN.ca will be doing live streaming of ALL games taking place at the World Junior Championships. You Americans can thank us now.

 

[Cerebral]

I was at the game and Cann was definitely the best of the four goaltenders. It's obviously far too early to make any real judgments but both Irving and Price let in pretty soft goals. Irving was definitely the shakiest of the four tonight, it will be interesting to see if he bounces back tomorrow.

Among the forwards, I thought McArdle was the best player on the ice. He has a motor that never stops working and he's pretty decent with the puck as well (he had one really nice assist). I'm not sure what his chances are of making the team but they definitely went up after tonight.

Cogliano looks like he'll be one of Canada's top offensive players, the guy has amazing wheels and he showed some great patience in the offensive zone tonight. I like the thought of him, Giroux and McArdle playing on a line.

I wasn't all that impressed by Bourdon tonight, he fumbled the puck on the powerplay (which resulted in him taking a penalty) and he got out of position a few times down low. He'll obviously make the team but I didn't think he had a great game tonight.

Of the young kids, Ellerby really impressed me. I don't think he has a hope in heck of making the team (of the bubble guys, Franson looked really good) but he skates well for a big man and I can see why he is regarded as a potential top 10 pick.
