My thoughts from today's game:
-- Mechura was the best player for the second game in a row. He could be worth a longer look in Providence this year.
-- Harrison was a very close second and probably the #1 star of the tourney. He looked faster to me and it was good to see that his sniping abilities are alive and well (now he just needs to use them in Prov).
-- Kuntar played better but I still expected more out of him given the level of competition.
-- Nelson had his best game today as well.
-- Out of the invites, Vierling was the one who most consistently stood out (in a good way) each game (including today).
-- Brunet was more in control today.
-- Rough day for Johansson...his second out of the three games. I guess it shouldn't be that surprising for an 18 year old 6th rounder playing in NA for the first time would struggle at this level.
-- He had a nice assist on the GWG but Cibulka struggled mightily defensively all tourney. Kid was out of his depth.
Overall, while the defense was lacking, the games this year had no shortage of entertainment. On to training camp!
