VIC 10 Ben Walker The Giant lose the first in a home-and-home worth the Victoria Royals in, judging by the boxscore, looked like a feisty matchup, with Blake Orban leading the way with 12 PIMS. Rookie Alec Baer scored his first WHL goal in hos fifth game! Again, I have no highlights and I didn't see the game, but judging by the scoring of a line of Baer-Franson-Kieser was flying out there tonight. Tyler Morrison also had two points, and Franson had 3. The Giants and Royals play again tonight at the Coliseum, then only a few more games left before the end of the season. One more loss and the G-men are guaranteed last place in the league.

  2. Oh yeah, just saying the next couple seasons are gonna be great.
  3. And don't forget the 8 picks in the first 3 rounds this year, and will probably be the first overall pick.

Blake Orban played the hero in overtime with a clean slap shot past 2013 draft-eligible goalie Austin Lotz. Payton Lee wasn't super busy in net with only 13 shots against, but made some big saves when he needed to including a five-hole breakaway stop on Manraj Hayer Pacific Coliseum- Vancouver BC Attendance: 5 313

KAM 3 Sam Grist As the Giants 3-game winning streak comes to an end, so do their mathematical chances at the playoffs. Rookie Alec Baer got his first WHL point in his second game, and assist on Cain Franson's goal. Kale Kessy again scores against us. Flyers prospects Brendan Ranford now holds the franchise record for most games played at 342 as a Blazer. This wasn't as chippy a Blazers-Giants game you'd expect, just a few roughing minors.

VAN 12 Cain Franson Gordie Howe night at the Pacific Coliseum was a good one, with the Giants getting their third straight win! After Michael Bublé sang happy birthday to the man of the night, things went going right away. Arvin Atwal had another fight, his second in as many games. A couple Giants had multi-point games, Carter Popoff (2G 1A), Arvin Atwal (2A), Taylor Vickerman (1G 1A), and Dalton Sward (1G 1A). Russell Maxwell of Lethbridge also had 2G 1A. A couple Giants have gone on big point streaks during this streak, with Popoff getting 6 points (4G 2A) in 3 games, Travis McEvoy (3, 2G 1A), Cain Franson (5, 2G 3A), Brandon Rouse (4, 3G 1A). Rookie Alec Baer played in his first WHL game, getting no points and going -2. Only thing that's not going right now is that I would like to be Houck get more points, especially if he wants to get drafted this summer. In honor of Gordie Howe night, Marcel Dionne, Bobby and Dennis Hull, Orland Kurtenbach, Jim Robson and Jonny Bower were also in attendance. Pacific Coliseum - Vancouver BC Attendance: 8 284
  7. And now they score 3 in fairly quick succession! 3-1 G-men
  8. Dammit WHL boxscores In other news, Minnesota wonderboy high schooler Alec Baer will make his Giants debut tonight, on Gordie Howe night. There are a number of former NHL stars in the vicinity, including Marcel Dionne and Brett Hull. The Giants are expecting close to 10 000 people tonight!

VAN 21 Brendan Rouse The Giants finally had their luck turned around against the red-hot Kamloops Blazers. Kale Kessy's luck against however, continues to go against his former team. I have no official stat but I'd bet that he's gotten at least a point in every contest against the Giants since he was traded. Arvin Atwal got into it with Chase Suoto and got 15 PIMS. The Giants had a couple of multi-point nights, Brendan Rouse (2G), Cain Franson (1G 1A), and Carter Popoff (2A). As he nears 30 goals, one wonders if Franson gets another call to prospects camp and maybe a contract this time around. I remember reading an article by Drance before the season started, hoping that Franson could do what Jordan Martinook did last season by hovering up and down for a few years then going out and getting a 40-goal season and was drafted in the second round. Franson won't get 40 goals, but he also didn't have Brendan Gallagher on his wing. 30 should be a good goal for the last 8 games of the season. Either way, I wish all the best to Cain, would be nice to get both Franson brothers . Pacific Colisseum- Vancouver, BC Attendance: 4 172 Giants Record: 64 GP 17-45-2-0 36 PTS, 22nd by 8 PTS.

VAN 6 Arvin Atwal The Giants get back on the right track with a win against a bubble team in the Seattle Thunderbirds. After a fun, fight-filled game against Kamloops, the boys toned it down tonight and got the two points. There were a couple roughing scrums, Blake Orban found himself in the middle of most of those. Cain Franson and Brendan Rouse each had 1G 1A for 2 points, as Franson hopes to top the 30-goal mark this season. Pacific Colisseum, Vancouver BC Attendance: 8 684 really amazing how to Giants keep drawing such a large crowd considering how their season's going Giants Record: 63 GP 16-45-2-0 34 PTS. 22nd place by 10 points.
  11. McEneny's definatley been a good signing, although some(ok maybe a lot) of his offense may from Mr. Offense, Ryan Murphy. Although if he really is as bad defensively as he showed in the WJC, then good on McEneny for saving his ass when Murphy screws up.
  12. So if Gaunce has been taking on all the defense lately, what's Belleville's top line been? Some combination of Quine - Grovoac - Zharkov I'd presume?

KAM 19 Brendan Ranford 2. KAM 9 Colin Smith 3. KAM 3 Sam Girst This game started off with a bang, as Flyers prospect Brendan Ranford scored just 10 seconds in, and Chase Suoto scored a minute later. Even though it wasn't the results the Giants fans wanted, it would've been a helluva game to go to. Orban and Houck each had 12 PIMS, and captain Wes had 15. On the Kamloops side, Joel Edmunson had 15 PIMS and projected 2013 first round pick JC Lipon had 31. At the 13:37 mark of the second period, Vannieuwenhuizen got 5 for boarding and a game, Lipon got 5 for fighting and 2 for the instigator, and Orban got the fighting major. And at the 18:37 mark of the third, Lipon got 2 for kneeing, 2 for roughing, and a 10. Houck got 2 for roughing and a 10, Edmundson got 10 and Orban and Willick each got fighting majors. There were two other fights in the game, Geertsen vs Edmundson and Atwal vs Macklin. Somehow, no Kamloops player ended up getting more than 2 points and no Giant was worse than -3 Pacific Coliseum- Vancouver BC Attendance: 6 326

Malte Strömwall and Winnipeg Jets prospects Zachary Yuen each had 3 points as well. The Giants finally return home from this USA road trip for a short home stand.

Former Giant and Phoenix Coyote draft pick Kale Kessy got two points (1G 1A), while Avalanche prospect Colin Smith (1G 1A) and Flyers prospect Brendan Ranford (2A) all had multi-point nights. The Giants are back in action on Friday as they visit the Seattle Thunderbirds, perhaps a chance for a win to boost the 'ol confidence.

The Giants record is now 13-41-0-0, almost guaranteed last place, with the maximum number of points they can get being 52, 8 more than Prince George's point total right now. Looks like there was some sort of scrap between Dalton Sward and Zach Pochiro, with 15 and 10 PIMS respectively. Do the giants really have 0 OT/SO loses? I find that hard to believe
  22. Giants lose to Kelowna 5-0 tonight.

Guess they really want that first overall pick. They have a record of 13-40-0-0, which gives them 26 points, good enough for last, and 13 points behind the next-last team, Prince George.
  23. I know that, just wasn't sure if some people were suggesting their play would move down to that, or if they were suggesting it would diminish completely.
  24. I think the Sedins can play for longer at a fairly high level than most people think. I think they can keep putting up 55+ point seasons, even as their over 40. They're very durable, especially when you consider henrik hasn't missed a game in nearly 10 years.
  25. Do you guys think Schroeder will stick once Kes, or even Booth come back? Assuming Kassian continues to play well with the twins, there's going to be a logjam of wingers, and Raymond has actually been playing well lately, if he keeps it up it will be hard to scratch him. If Kass and Schroeder stay up, maybe lines like this? Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Booth - Kesler - Burrows Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen Higgins - Malhotra - Lapierre Higgins was originally brought in the play on the fourth line wasnt he? cant be too bad of a fit, better than Raymond would. Really don't want to see Patti or Weise come out though, they add a lot of toughness. If Raymond starts to play crappy again maybe start scratching him again, move up Higgins and toss in Volpatti or Weise.
