Dalton Thrower was cut by Montreal today and sent to their AHL affiliate.

Looks like he wont be back to the Giants this year unless something unforseen happens...Im worried that the Giants are to small and not tough enough,,they got rid of all toughness last year and didnt replace it,,most of their players are on the smurf level.

You guys picked up Traber, who was probably our toughest player last year ... on a team that lead the league in PIM.

Victoria has that one line that is just a gear up on the rest of the players. Giants really missing one or two great players. Ronning looks good. Some giants don't look confident or lose their concentration for parts of the game. Won't be going to many more games if that's all the giants have. Need a top line scorer.

Giants come back to win in Victoria Saturday night 2-1...much better result.

Sort of, the Giants were outplayed the majority of the game the Royals blew most of the chances they got. Including one right on the goal mouth if the pass wasn't wide it was going in. But what the Giants did do well was force the Royals to the perimeter a lot.

The Vancouver Giants had decidedly more gumption Friday against the Everett Silvertips than they had Wednesday in a 6-0 loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds, but it wasn’t nearly enough to bring victory.

Vancouver dropped a 4-1 decision to the Silvertips before a crowd of 5,018 at the Pacific Coliseum.

Vancouver (1-3-0-0) was missing five of their more physical players, with winger Tim Traber coming down ill before the contest and defenceman Mason Geertsen (upper body), wingers Dalton Sward (upper body) and Rob Trzonkowski (upper body) and centre Travis McEvoy (upper body) all injured.

Defencemen Reid Zalitach and Matt Barberis, an underage call-up making his WHL debut, played forward.

Anthony Ast scored for Vancouver on a second-period power play, tipping home an Arvin Atwal point shot in the second period to make the score 2-1.

Everett (2-0-0-0) got goals from Kohl Baumi, Carson Stadnyk, Manraj Hayer and Joshua Winquist.

Going to be a long year,,already missing players,, no size and using call ups...what happened to this team.
