[Comment From Ovechkin the Great]
lets get another two points.

12:46

The Herald - Kent Simpson gets the start in goal for Everett today. The 17-year-old will certainly have his share of fans in the stands, given he's from Edmonton.

12:47

The Herald - Edmonton is also trotting out its youngster, 17-year-old Cam Lanigan getting the call.

[Comment From Ovechkin the Great]
third time should be the charm

12:51

The Herald - The player who continues to lead the way for Everett is defenseman Radko Gudas. Two more goals last night gave him seven goals and six assists in the first 12 games. He's also an astounding plus-19.

12:51

[Comment From Ovechkin the Great]
hope Gudas gets an 'A' sometime soon.

12:51

The Herald - Edmonton's biggest gun is 19-year-old center Brent Raedeke, who has seven goals and 11 assists in 18 games. He was impressive against the Tips last season.

12:52

[Comment From Ovechkin the Great]
Raedeke is a definite threat.
