2-0 - Mangiapane was the decoy in front on the Labanc goal which was off of a gorgeous pass from Andersson. 2 first assists from Andersson, he's flying tonight

[Heavy Jack]

Mangiapane with two amazing chances in tight on a 4 on 4.

Mangiapane with the empty netter with three minutes to go

3-0 win to go up 3-2 in the series... i will be there for game 6 tomorrow!!!!!


Mangiapane and Andersson looked great.

Hitmen go out to Red Deer. Kanzig now done in the juniors, hopefully he can stick in the AHL next season.

With Kanzig and Smith together, I don't think the Heat are going to lack truculence.

Colts/Steelheads highlights

[Heavy Jack]

Colts down 4-0 after 2 periods - havent been without their chances just havent had any puck luck and 3 of the 4 against happend in the first 7 minutes. Andersson and Mangiapane having tough games but have still looked dangerous at times.

Here's to a good old fashioned 14/15 Flames 3rd period comeback!

On the otherside Nylander has looked great all game and is a threat most times he is out, Mcleod looks very good, great speed and he is chippy/hard to play against. I think if Day falls into the 20-30 range I hope we take him with a pick if we have one in that range. He looks solid, calm.

[JJ1532]

Wow, 7-0 Steelheads. Going to game 7.

[Heavy Jack]

Wow pims galore in the game - Mangiapane and Andersson played a rough/physial game which was good to see - they didnt back down at all Andersson ejected at the end of the game but also threw a massive hit mid way through the third. Magiapane with 6 or 8 pims too - very chippy game.

Thanks for all the updates and insights Heavy. Appreciated

[Heavy Jack]

np SP - been fun to follow! Nylander is selling me - great two-way presence and does things in the D zone that lead directly to offensive threats the other way. He has an absolutely gorgeous ability to throw the puck softly into high threat areas which reminds me of Johnny alot. He would look good eventually on a line with Bennett if we are fortunate enough to draft him though he is still at least 2 years out IMO. Mcleod and Day both impressed too, play big bodied games.

[JJ1532]

Now the Islanders win! McDonald with 41 saves in 43 shots, Isles win 4-2 on the night and win the series 4-2. Onto the 2nd round they go.

Stats wise it doesn't look like Karnaukhov is making much progress. I wondered a little when we drafted him but maybe he meets the eyeball test better.

I also haven't seen a lot of progress in this game. He actually has a lot of the tools that could potentially translate to higher levels of hockey. He has the size, the offensive smarts, and defensive awareness to be a pretty all-around player. I think the Flames drafted him hoping that he could improve on his overall speed, passing, etc.

For some reason, he hasn't really gotten any faster. Hopefully the Flames do their best to address his deficiencies this summer. He has to become both heavier and faster, which is easier said than done. I think if he does progress, it will take a lot of time.

Uphill battle tonight for the Colts - Dylan Sadoway is sitting out with an upper body injury and his secondary offence and PKing will be missed...now the leading scorer of the OHL Labanc just took a puck to the face...lots of blood and he looked out of it getting helped off.

Mangiapane already a presence on the ice to start with a couple of chances.

[Heavy Jack]

Andersson coast to coast on a 4 on 4... Wow just lost control when he shot but what a rush.

[Heavy Jack]

Sean Day is a great, great skater... Looks awesome
