General Game Notes: This game was closer than the score suggests. A tough stretch in the second period for the Warriors found themselves in a deficit that they just could not overcome. Otherwise they tied the first period and lost the third only by one due to a power play goal. The Hurricanes took advantage of their opportunities tonight with some players capitalizing on their quality chances.

Comments: Scott was able to show tonight that he is a natural puck mover, showing clear confidence and composure with the puck on his stick. At times, he flashes genuine defensive upside, reading plays early and breaking them up with smart positioning. However, those moments are mixed with stretches where he looks uncertain in his own end and is susceptible to costly errors. He lacks the size and strength to be a true crease-clearing presence, and while those limitations hinder his defensive impact, they also contribute to the agility and mobility that make him so effective in transition. Ultimately, inconsistencies in his defensive game and overall production remain areas that need to be addressed.

Comments: Maloney is a crafty defensive presence who excels at forcing turnovers and disrupting plays, even if he is not a go to option on the penalty kill. His bruising, crease clearing style makes him a reliable matchup defender, someone you can count on against an opponents top lines. With the puck, he is always looking to make the smartest decision without adding unnecessary risk. He is a highly skilled passer who elevates each shift, and his shot provides the perfect complement which has got some zip on it. He can fire in stride, change shooting angles, and curl pucks around sticks to open up lanes, giving him multiple ways to threaten offensively despite not being a pure offensive driver.

Comments: Duell had himself a night tonight scoring three points with two goals. Scored one of those goals starting a three on two rush where he was able to get the puck back door for a wide open net tally. Duell is one of those players whose feet and hands move in sync and makes it very hard for defenders to predict where he wants to go. He is smaller but his agility with and without the puck is so quick he rarely find himself involved in any contact. He is so quick, he can change speeds and directions on a dime and can do so with his hands as well. Whenever he touched the puck in the offensive zone tonight, he was a threat.

Comments: Cozens is a highly complete forward with excellent playmaking vision and a natural flair for creating offensive chances. His puck skills are elite, his skating is dynamic, and his offensive instincts stand out above everything else. He reads plays quickly, manipulates defenders, and consistently turns even small openings into scoring opportunities. On top of that, he owns a dangerous shot, capable of beating goalies clean from range. Defensively, he still has room to grow. His aggressive, attack first mindset can occasionally lead to turnovers or missed assignments, but he is not a liability, just a player whose strengths clearly lean toward driving offense.

Comments: Lafournaise got on the board early in the second period getting a two on one feed that he was able to coral and barely find the back of the net. The youngster looked like he had some jitters handling the puck, nonetheless, he caught it, got it off quick and put his team up in the game. Lafournaise plays with pace and energy each and every shift he has on the ice, he makes some young mistakes like throwing pucks away at times and loosing coverage in his own zone. Couple times, making moves at the blue lines, causing turnovers are plays that you figure out just do not work all the time the older you get.

Comments: Daneault picked up a goal crashing the net and getting a rebound, a little bit out of his style of play but the smaller quicker forward found a way. He is a pass first and pass second type of player but good to see that he can get his nose dirty a little bit, it was a crucial goal at an important time in the game as well. Despite his smaller stature, he is strong on the puck and uses his willingness to play physically to create more time and space with the puck. These positive traits allow him to overcome his lack of size and be one of the more lethal players with time and space in the offensive zone, something that he does require from time to time.

Comments: Kibblewhite definitely benefited off an impressive individual effort from his line mate but being in the right position at the right time is a skill of its own. Kibblewhite is an offensive threat almost at all times when he has the puck on his stick. He is able to stick handle in small areas making his next move less predictable. His long powerful stride make him dangerous off the rush where he will lower a shoulder and stick a leg out to gain body positioning. He was able to show tonight that he is just an all around confident player while he has possession, and positionally, understands where to be.

Comments: Ness was able to show tonight that he brings size, physicality, and reliably steady defensive play in his own end. He skates well for his frame and moves the puck efficiently, allowing him to contribute in all three zones. His jack of all trades style gives him value in almost any situation, there are very few moments where he does not provide at least a positive impact. The one area where he falls short is pure offensive creation. Ness does not have the high end tools to drive offense on his own, but his overall versatility can, at times, make up for it.

Comments: McFadden is a crafty playmaker with elite instincts and a deceptively strong scoring touch. He consistently drives his lines offense, creating looks for both himself and his teammates with his vision and patients. While he is not a pure shutdown forward, he is responsible enough defensively to hold his own on the back check and in his zone. His blend of speed, dynamic edge work, and ability to create space makes him a constant threat whenever he has the puck in the offensive zone.

Comments: Semeniuk opened the scoring tonight capitalizing on a three on two rush where he was able to get the puck back door, fake a shot and get the goalie to bite, only to pull it to his back hand to find the back of the net. It was an impressive move that took confidence and patients in tight on a goalie when shooting must seem like the right play. Semeniuk has great size and can move equally as well, he has that type of swagger when he skates that you can tell he wants the puck on his stick. He is not afraid to pull off some crafty moves that at times may seem unnecessary but tonight, they worked.

Comments: Nice little hand eye goal for Pavlik tonight catching the puck in his skates and immediately getting the puck to his stick where his quick shot caught the goalie off guard for his teams second goal of the night. Pavlik has solid size and frame that he likes to control the middle of the ice, which is exactly where he was able to score his goal. He has a two way game with a little more of an emphasis on the offensive side and you could see this with the way he is able to handle the puck and find open players. He picks his head up, takes an extra second, and makes the play that is given to him.
Kash Andresen (C, R, 6’2″, 192, Moose Jaw Warriors, 07/20/2007)
Game Rating
B+
Andresen showcases a strong physical presence, utilizing his size to excel in battles along the boards. His relentless effort across the ice allows him to stay involved in play. He is effective at drawing defenders in and delivering pucks through them. While he can be effective with pressure, there are instances where he loses control of his momentum.

Comments: Andresen planted himself at the net front and was able to get a stick on a point shot to find the back the of the net. His frame is not the biggest but he can play a net front guy like he has a couple extra inches on him. He can be mean and nasty and will play the physical card if he has too. There are times, and this is a harder style to keep going no doubt, but his inconsistency throughout the game where and when he wanted to be a physical presence. Obviously on the power play when goals are involved we saw one type of player and even strength in his own end, at times was a different type of player. When he is at his best, he is one of the more influential players on the ice.
