Dowiak didn't do much today. His dad is a nice guy, and quite knowledgeable about the game. Penn State is an option if he doesn't make the Knights.Pooches are fine just had to get heart worm medicine for both of them and rabies shots. Planned on attending both days as I always do but now she booked us in for breakfast at daughters house for Easter FFS !! She is doing her best to p*** me off. I will rely again on the Nellie report. One kid I liked last year was Dowiak from PA. How did he look? Have fun Sunday everyone and look forward to updates.
Yes, the kid from Guelph. Decent skater, small--didn't stand out.Really appreciate the posts from those in attendance today. I’ll try to make it tomorrow.
Was Anselmini there? He was the Knights’ first 3rd round pick a couple weeks ago and I thought I read that some scouting services did not even have him ranked in the top 300 players eligible for the draft?

It seemed weird that they picked McCue, Aselmini and Federkow when many higher rated prospects were on the board...but what do I know....It is likely that they have a list and really liked these guysThanks nelli. Saginaw took Dylan Duke the pick after Anselmini but maybe London really wanted Anselmini and Federkow and thought either/or wouldn’t be there in round 4. Or maybe they thought Duke was going to be too hard to recruit to the OHL to risk missing out on players who were sure to report to the OHL. I thought it was interesting, anyway.
Opted out of breakfast. Have a pissed off wife but she will get over it. I will give my opinion for what it is worth.
Oilers interview Mark Hunter a second time for vacant GM role.
Their minds weren't on the Knights after game 3Between this and the Canadian Junior team stuff with Mark and Dale, announced during the playoffs, there was just too much distraction going on in London. It showed on the ice.

NELLI REPORT, vol. 2
GOLD 5 (Estapa 4, Mailloux) GREEN 4 (Whyte, Anselmini, Dowiak, Rolofs):
What was I saying yesterday about Estapa making a good first impression? How about an excellent second impression? Estapa scored 4 goals, yes 4 of Gold's 5 goals! I looked over at the Knights' brass in attendance, and there was considerable chatter after he scored that 4th goal. Logan Mailloux with the other marker for team Gold. He fired a seeing-eye snap shot just inside the blueline.
Rolofs with his first goal (Green). Nice to see our first two picks score in their first mini-camp.
Bryce Montgomery (from Maryland) is a huge d-man, a 2002 birthdate, who's 6'3", 200 lbs. He can skate and handles the puck well. He's committed to Providence College (2021), but maybe he opts for the OHL.
Brayden Krieger played well. Has he signed yet with the Knights? I ask because he was wearing a Knights helmet today, and I believe they're only given out to signed players. Avery Winslow was also wearing a Knights helmet as I mentioned yesterday. He could very well be OHL ready, smooth skater, with his head always up looking to make a play. I like what he brings.
Connor Federkow is an undersized d-man but plays a physical game; he's mean!
Dane Dowiak scored a beautiful goal, sniped top shelf, short side, from an almost impossible angle. Ty Anselmini rounded out the scoring for team Green.
Evangelista was much better today; great playmaking ability. Panwar looking good.
Brendan Mairs also looked good, a hitting machine.
Mitchell Lee crosschecked Keane...wrestled afterwards. No fights today.
Nothing to say about the goaltending.
