The St. Louis “baby blues”, after beating the Red Wings 5-3, will now face Nashville in the rookie tournament championship game. This is a chance to avenge last years surprising loss to the Pred’s in the final. However, this group of Blues propects seems to be a more talented group from top to bottom. Everyone has contributed to the success of this years team. In game three the Blues used timely scoring to do in Detroit. Down 1-0 early, St. Louis scored the next three goals. Jame Pollock had a goal and an assist and Marc Brown had two goals, including the game winner, to lead the way. Jeremy Reich chipped in with two assists. Trevor Wasyluk scored his second goal of the tournament to seal the victory. Overall it was a strong team effort and the youngsters have confidence going in to the final against Nashville. Stay tuned for the dramatic finish to this tournament and a summary of who did well and who disappointed in Traverse City, Michigan.

NHL Prospect Shootout 2 – Day 2 Roundup

by Martin Dittman
on

The organizers of this tournament had to be unhappy after the first night
of action. A bench clearing brawl initiated by Ty Jones gave the tournament
a black eye and had to hope for better results during Tuesday night’s games.
Unfortuantly, it went from fight night to blowouts. The Detroit Red Wings
and Chicago Blackhawks were blown right out of the Grand Traverse Bay area
and ended up somewhere across Lake Michigan. Or at least it seemed that
way. If you liked watching teams self-destruct, this was your night.

GAME 3 – Detroit VS. Nashville

On paper, this game looks even. Both teams have a marquee prospect in
Brian Finley and Jiri Fischer. Each lack much depth at forward. But on the
ice it was a much a different story. While the Wings didnt play awful, the
defense rested in stretches. The Predators took the lead 10 seconds into
the game and never looked back, beating the Red Wings 6-3.

The Predators scored three goals in the first and again in the second
period and that was more than enough. The Predators had no real star on
this night but they did have a solid defensive game. Ed Hill, Brett Angel,
and Kent Sauer all had strong defensive efforts. Sauer also added two
assists. Martin Bartek added a goal and an assist leading the offense.
Konstantin Panov also had a strong night, scoring a goal and having several Read more»

Western Hockey League West Division Preview

by Glen Crichton
on

With twenty four days to go before the puck drops on the 1999/2000 Western Hockey League Season all teams in the West Division are well into training camp. Seattle seems like a sure fire pick to lead the division with all their offensive fire power but you can never count out a Don Hay coached team like the Tri-City Americans or perrenial powerhouse Kamloops Blazers. Kelowna returns a solid nucleus and finally have a solid netminder in Kevin Swanson and they could make some noise before all is said and done. Portland and Spokane appear to be two teams searching for a new identity after big runs for the Memorial Cup two years ago and appear headed for very long seasons near the basementof the division. Following are my pre-season picks from top to bottom and a brief synopsis of each team.

Rangers News and Notes

by Evan Andriopoulos
on

Training Camp is about to start for the newly revamped New York Rangers.

News and Notes:

The Rangers finally cut ties with Scott Fraser. The organization had hoped
for another Adam Graves type player but he did not develop in New York or
Hartford as they hoped. His contract was bought out, but not before Neil
Smith offered him to Chicago for Doug Gilmour or anything. Fraser may try
out with Chicago but is also being sought out by many European teams. Fraser
had 28gp-2-4-6p totals in New York last season.

Now a look at Questions and Youth up front.

Questions?:

The No. 2 center slot as of now has been handed to Manny Malhotra by the
media. However John Muckler is a stickler for factoring in youth to such
high stress positions. Malhotra last year averaged 6 minutes per game
and mostly at the no. 4 spot. Although Malhotra showed many that he can play
at this level, he was instructed to add some
size to his already hulking 6-3 215 frame during the offseason. However Read more»
