@BAdvocate how was the game?
Care to report on Guenther? Sneaky sniper or play-driving powerhouse?
Definitely Sneaky Sniper. As you can see from some of my photos, the seats gave me a "Birdseye" view of Guenther setting up for his one-timer on the power play during the 1st & 3rd period. Very reminiscent of the World Junior Championship as that's where most of his shots were from.
As for some of the other notable prospects (I'm far from a talent evaluator)...
Korchinski didn't really stand out to me...but that could just be me expecting too much because of his draft position.
I just realized the 3rd member of Guenther's line "Schaefer" I was watching was Reid Schaefer lol. He didn't really stand out. Lambert had a couple amazing stick handling sequences, but I was left with an impression of more flash than substance in his game.
Milic was impressive in goal.
Myatovic took all the big faceoffs and was one of the most noticeable throughout the game.
The game was decent....bad seats for the pre-game ceremony with Cam Neely and a few others as I saw mostly the back of heads and the back of the items raised to the rafters. Was hoping for OT, but "Wierd Al" Crnkovic spoiled that with about 3 minutes left and sealed it with an empty netter.
Here's the game highlights :
