Tough game for Brossoit. His defence was just brutal in the first period. Can't blame him on any of the goals. Portland capitalized on a bunch of odd man rushes and the Oil Kings just had no puck luck in the third. Wotherspoon was steady. Didn't see anything good nor bad from him tonight.
First time seeing Jones live and man the kid is a beast. Just physically he is so big and strong. Guys would take runs at him and it just didn't affect him. Pretty impressive for a 18 year old.
Another guy I really liked was Petan. Going into the draft I might stay away from him just because of his size, but tonight might have me rethinking. Real skilled, pretty shifty and he seemed real smart. Seems like a Weisbrod guy from what I saw tonight. Him and Rattie gave Edmonton trouble all night long. From reports I've read and seeing him tonight I think I'd probably be alright with using our 3rd first on him despite his size. I plan on watching him a little more closely tomorrow night.
