It's now 2-1 Bulldogs.

Corey Locke with the goal.

[Locke Lamora]

Boudon looks good, very much playing a controlled game... not going for the open ice hit so much, but instead throwing some good hits down low on the boards in his own end. I've noticed Luc passes very hard and his team mates have a hard time accepting them at times. Raymond has some serious dash and puck control skills, but he didn't really threaten to score. Grabner didn't do much except skate very fast in a straight line.

[Locke Lamora]

Wow, two quick goals for the Moose. Raymond robbed on a breakaway and Keane puts in the rebound, then Tremblay on the powerplay. Bourdon still throwin' hits...

[timw33]

NICE!

3-2 Moose.

Raymond has an assist

Bourdon a +1 now.

[Vancouver_Canucks]

Don't get to watch the Moose games but it is GREAT to see that Bourdon is playing pretty good (according to some of you guys). He is right or did I misread you guys?

[Locke Lamora]

No, Luc is playing VERY good... got into scrum at the end of the second which helped to give us a powerplay. He was talkin' some serious smack at one of the Bulldogs.

He is playing ALOT... Arniel is showing alot of confidence in him.

That is great news and good for Bourdon to adjust so quickly so far to the AHL speed and new system/players then.

I love how he adds to team toughness and grit. Just love how he isn't a liability out there on the ice and showing the coach he can get more ice time.

In terms of his skill set, what do you notice? How is his skating, break out passes, hockey sense/awareness?

Hey Lamora

Is Rahimi playing by any chance?

Have you been able to see him play some games on the Moose so far? If so, what did you see from him when he was put on the ice?

[leo2892]

Hey, does anyone know which picks we have this draft year?

shouldn't it be like 23rd or 24th? in the 1st round?

1 2nd round pick from LA? so in the early 2nd round?

Not sure about the rest though

He's not playing tonight and I haven't seen him play yet.

I gotta repeat that Mason Raymond has that intangible "something" about his game. Insane speed with outstanding hockey sense. He looks off defenders, backs them off with his speed and can either speed to the net or make the pass. First time I've seen him play, and I'm effin' impressed.

Ah, cool, thanks.

Er...Where did our 3rd round pick go?

[-mb]

HUGE open ice hit for Bourdon!!!!

Just what I wanted to hear.

We traded it to Chicago in 2005 for Steve McCarthy, and then we later traded McCarthy to Atlanta for a 7th rounder in this year's draft.

[Locke Lamora]

Since I seem to be doing a bit of impromtu play-by-play...

Remember Niedermier's hit on Hannsen? Bourdon just obliderated one of the Hamilton Bulldogs in the same fashion. Pierre McGuire would name Bourdon the "Monster" of the game, no doubt about it.

Ah, I thought that we trade 2006's 3rd rounder, not this year's. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Vancouver_Canucks]

Damnit I want to see Bourdon play!

I wish there was something like Canucks TV that included our farm team games

Next year will be awesome time to watch moose games with a lot of our prospects making the team.
