Olden: big, very good skater, shifty, made nice in tight passes/created notable scoring chances with his wheels. Was very impressed with him.
Blacker: very loud, leader on the ice. Loves the puck on his stick, safe/smart choices and very physical, loves the spin move. Tied the game with a minute left in the 3rd
Camaranesi: impressive skating, created lots of chances off the rush using his skating ability, outstanding lateral and agility movement
Gardiner: very composed, skater, scored a goal from the point. Very solid in his own zone, flawless with outlet passes. Probably the best player on the ice on both teams.
Everson: got worked and pushed around in his own zone, was a liability. Made some nice passes though, vision is top notch.
Nilsson: solid, quiet game. Did not look out of place..especially being the youngest player in camp
Biggs: Hit everything in sight, laid a big one on Blacker right after the whistle..created a couple of scoring chances from the corners. Awesome defensively and good on the forecheck and backcheck. Had the best scoring chances in the 3rd period.
Granberg: Looked really big on the ice. Physical and very solid/safe in his own end.
Broll: Physically imposing and has really good wheels. Very strong on the forecheck.
Acton: Showed some nice hands, very good stick handler.
Lievo: Not the fastest skater or the biggest guy. Made some hits, and seemed to always be in the right places to get scoring chances. Seems like he was always involved in the play (in a good way).
Also, wanted to say that the Brad Ross, Sondre Olden, and Josh Nicholls line was probably the best line from both teams today. Here are some pictures:
