Szturc very close to the game winner

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

September Prospect Tournament game in OT. Doesn't get better than this

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bouchard going with Geekie-Groshev, Edmonds-Szturc, and then Duke-Huuhtanen as the forward duos in OT before the Baby Bolts take a penalty

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bouchard going with Groshev and Geekie to start this 4 on 3 pk

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Big block by Gill and then a solid save by Meneghin

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Meneghin a little slow tracking that and then going left to right

Meneghin a little slow tracking that and then going left to right

Meneghin looks a lot smaller than the goalies we normally go for, even though he's listed at 6'3.

Meanwhile, Cooper Black on the Panthers rookies is 6'10.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Impressions 2 games in - Good game for Roelens and Schmidt, another solid one for Dureau, but once again you have to give it up to Groshev. 2 primary assists, but also the trust from Bouchard to put him out there on the 3 man pk unit in OT speaks. He's doing what he needs to do here to position himself for the main camp. Another really positive showing for Edmonds. He's making plays. Can he string a 3rd one together on Monday? Geekie looks a little frustrated at times. Maybe gripping the stick a little too tight too? He's a young 20 year old with big expectations who's probably feeling some pressure here to perform and make his case for the NHL. He has all the physical tools and the talent, but you can't give him experience and maturity. That just takes time. Duke has struggled a little bit. Nothing to worry about. Like a lot of kids he just needs time in the AHL.

Reminder that today's game is at 11 am.

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts starting Geekie, Groshev, and Gauthier together

Fanti, not Meneghin, gets a 2nd start

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Big hit by Geekie

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

No Lilleberg and Crozier was probably a smart idea. They both got a little playing time here, but important to keep them healthy for the preseason

 

[Felonious Python]

Shots 8-0 so far.

They've made great strides in learning the structure these past few days.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Finally got 2 shots on goal - Gill and Geekie

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

2 on 1 for Geekie, but glad he shot instead of trying to find Gauthier

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

And then Geekie scores! His first of the tournament

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Guess who? Groshev with the assist

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Geekie (Groshev)

 

[Point21]

Im scared to order a Groshev jersey cause he will probably end up getting traded with a 1st for another Blake Coleman

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Another good pass by Groshev puts the puck right on Roelens stick in front of the goal

 

[Point21]

GOLICIC!!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nice goal for Golicic!

 

[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

GOAL E CHICK

 

[Point21]

I just realized Florida brought Isogai to their camp. Hes someone i really wanted to see with Geekie again
