Blue & White Game - Live Blog

Team Shea defeated Team Perkins 7-5 in the Blue & White Game on Sunday. Here's the game blog:

It'll be interesting to see what line-up changes are made for tonight's game. The rosters were the same over the last two nights.

Speaking of interesting, I filmed a video interview with Andrew Dommett, Braeden Adamyk and Johnny Calkins after last night's game. If my camera card hadn't filled up, we easily could have been there till after midnight with the way those guys yap at each other. I'll try to get that up tomorrow.

6:51 p.m. Hardly any roster changes for tonight. Walker Wintoneak is playing D for Team Shea, and Daniels moves to Shea to replace Tyndall (Kindersley's Ryan McBride takes Daniels' spot for Perkins). Jordan Braid is playing again for Perkins.

7:01 p.m. Another scrap right off the draw and it's Webb again, this time fighting '94 defenceman Howell. Not much of a fight, more of a wrestling show.

7:02: 42 seconds in and I nearly got decapitated by a puck. Great start to the night.

7:04: Great opening shift for Ryan Benn. He can play like a man possessed when he wants to. He and Beau Taylor have good chemistry.

7:07: Real solid shift for Johnny Calkins, stealing the puck from Tabin and then setting up Dommett for a pair of can't-miss chances... that Dommer missed.

7:10: Schwark hits the post on a penalty shot after being tripped by Tabin. Game remains scoreless.

7:11: Jeff Olson opens the scoring for Perkins (white) after taking a bank pass from Braid at the blueline and sniping the top right corner from close range. BTW - goalies are Hellyer for black, Patrick Johnson for white.

7:15: Ryan Benn might be the best player on the ice so far. Calkins, Duzan also look good.

7:18: For a guy described as stay-at-home, Nick Eliason isn't afraid to rush the puck.

7:20: Taylor Wasden finds the back of the net on a wrister from between the dots. White leads 2-0. 1:40 left in the 1st.

7:22: First period is over. See you back here in 10 minutes.

7:40: Wasden just said he was going to fight and he murdered Webb right off the draw. Webb will have no brain cells left if he keeps this up (although some here would say he's got n...no. I won't make that comment). At least he isn't bleeding this time.

Wasden pumps Webb to start the 2nd.
Webb wanted to fight Dommett.

7:44: Kerrobert's Tanner Kissick gets Team Shea on the board with a quick five-hole shot that beat Johnson. Perkins leads 2-1.

7:47: Wasden is an assist away from a Gordie Howe hatty in the blue & white game. Nearly had a second goal there. Get 'er done Wazzy.

7:50: Switch-up time for the goalies with 8:49 left in the second. Justin McDonald (Perkins) and Corey Webb (Shea) enter the game.

7:52: Riley Down breaks free and rips a wrist shot stick side on McDonald to tie the game 2-2. Seconds later, Mysiorek gets a dangerous chance on a 2-on-1 with Duzan but McDonald holds the fort.

7:55: Cody Thiel is looking solid on the Perkins blueline. The '93 defender was at camp last year too. Competition for the last three spots is wide open so he could have a shot.

7:57: Nick Eliason is playing up front the last few shifts. Interesting. He also just got hauled down on his way to the net by Flanagan. Penalty shot time... and he glances a high shot just off McDonald's mask and out of play.

8:01: McDonald robs Tanner Exner on a breakaway. Kid's having a solid night.

8:19: Shea leads 3-2 entering the third. There was a goal scored late in the second that I missed because I was typing instead of looking up. Multi-tasking ain't easy...

8:20: My battery only has about 20 minutes left. If anything noteworthy happens after that, it'll be on my twitter account (which you can get to on the left side of the blog).

8:22: Sanfred King taps in a beauty cross-ice feed from Tanner Exner to put Shea ahead 4-2. No chance for McDonald.

8:24: Braider gets on the board! Fires a shot past Webb from between the circles to make it 4-3.

8:26: Webb makes a solid stop on Adamyk breaking in from the left side. 13 minutes left in the third. Good game.

8:30: Adamyk just rubbed out Duzy along the boards. So strange to see these guys battling each other.

8:31: A beauty of a play to tie the game for Perkins. Braider took the puck behind the net, hit Wasden in front and he redirected it across to Adamyk for an easy tap-in. Gordie Howe hat trick for Wazzy.

8:33: Game is tied 4-4 with 7:11 to go. Only six minutes of battery time left. My nerves...

8:35: 16-year-old Schwark just knocked over Sonntag. That ain't easy to do.

8:36: A Perkins clearing attempt deflects off a stick and gives Dommett a clear breakaway. Tried to go five-hole and it closed up awful quick.

8:37: Duzan breaks in alone and sneaks a wrister past McDonald to give Shea a 5-4 lead. 4:23 to go.

8:38: OK, pop over to my twitter account for the last few minutes of the game.
