Windsor travelled to Oshawa for an east-west matchup that was much closer than the score would suggest. Although Windsor came away with the 4-1 victory, it was a one-goal game until late in the third period with many chances both ways. Oshawa actually outshot Windsor 36-27 but strong goaltending held them to just one goal. Below is a report of the best players in the game:

Cam was a man among boys here. Had his way in tough areas played with some snarl and showed excellent touch around the net. He can finish in tight.
Casey looks and plays bigger than listed. He is easy with the puck as his first touches are soft and he seldom has trouble making plays up ice. He takes hits to get pucks up the ice quickly and he is clever in creating passing lanes. Casey plays an easy and confident game.
Garrett plays a pro style. What’s that mean? Finish checks. Hit the net. Pucks in and out at the lines. Block shots. Active stick in all defensive situations. Defensive side of the puck on 50-50s. Alive on the bench. These all seam like fairly easy things to do, but you would be surprised how many prospects (& parents for that matter) only care about the score sheet.
We think there are several players in the showcase who should be on the radar but nobody beyond the C+ range. We listed a few late 2002’s and 2003’s for next year’s draft class who are worth mentioning and keeping tabs on this season as well.
Intangibles – Goal scorers will always find a home and this Cali kid knows he can score and plays with the kind of confidence an organization will want their draft picks to have.
