I have a little time here between sessions, so I thought I’d mention a couple things about this morning’s scrimmage, where RED defeated BLUE 2-1.
By far the most visible player this morning was Campbell Elynuik, who decided to give Brett Kolins a run for his money as the biggest hitter in camp. Elynuik was pretty much a part of every big hit in the game — both delivered and received. He got smoked twice early in the game, but to his credit he got right back up and immediately administered a hit of equal ferocity later in the shift. Those sequences seemed to fire him up as he continued to lay the lumber for much of the scrimmage.
Not a lot of scoring as the players appear to be wearing down. Here’s the goals:
1. RED’s Matthew Lumdsen pokes in a puck that got behind BLUE goaltender Austin Brihn. RED 1, BLUE 0.
2. RED’s Joshua Twietmeyer continues to find the net, banging in a rebound. RED 2, BLUE 0.
3. Great individual effort by BLUE’s Michael Scobie as he drags the puck through a defender and goes top shelf. RED 2, BLUE 1.
RED finishes 3-1 in its scrimmages.
— 4:50 p.m.
The final scrimmage is over with BLUE thumping WHITE 9-2. This was the first and only real blowout of camp (even the 6-2 game had a late insurance goal and two empty netters). The most notable thing about this game was that it was second rounder Tyler Giebel’s best game. I also thought BLUE defenseman Keenan Martens did a good job asserting himself. For WHITE, once again Bryce Kenning did an admirable job blocking shots. Unfortunately, there’s only so many shots one player can block.
The goals:
1. WHITE’s David Norris scores on a rebound. WHITE 1, BLUE 0.
2. BLUE’s Tyler Giebel goes 5-hole. WHITE 1, BLUE 1.
3. BLUE’s Kyle Peterson picks up a loose puck and scores. BLUE 2, WHITE 1.
4. BLUE’s Zach Sikich has the angle on his defender and scores around the goalie. BLUE 3, WHITE 1.
5. BLUE’s Nathan Murray scores with a shot off the rush. BLUE 4, WHITE 1.
6. Peterson bats the puck off a defenseman’s stick and into the net. BLUE 5, WHITE 1.
7. BLUE’s Campbell Elynuik scores on a shot from the slot. BLUE 6, WHITE 1.
8. BLUE’s Jordan Robertson scores with a slap shot from the high slot. BLUE 7, WHITE 1.
9. Giebel sets up Dylan Burton on a two-on-one. BLUE 8, WHITE 1.
10. Giebel cuts in, takes a pass and wrists a shot into the top corner. BLUE 9, WHITE 1.
11. WHITE’s Kole Harvey scores on a rebound follow. BLUE 9, WHITE 2.
BLUE finishes 3-1, WHITE finishes 0-4.
