I was at the game and it was a complete change from last season. Last year Hershey dominated, but they were completely overmatched by the baby pens tonight. The team in general had pretty good puck possession and passing game. I would say it was a team win, but Conner, Tangradi and especially Veilleux stood out the most. On Tangradi's good Veilleux showed real good hands going around a Hershey defender to get a shot on net and Tangradi scored on an easy rebound. He showed nice patience with the puck all game. I'll tell ya both Tranradi and Veilleux looked like men amongst boys. They were easily the biggest boys on the ice. I think Connor could probably skate between their legs if he wanted to. Connor had a nice breakaway goal and slipped a backhander under Dany Sabourin. Hershey pulled him after giving up 3 goals on 7 shots. Strait had a pretty solid game on the back end as he's typically pretty consistent in the games I've seen him. This was the first I've gotten to see Sneep. He's a pretty big kid, but you can tell this is his first pro year. Not saying that negatively, but he seemed out of place at different points of the game, I'm sure that will come with more experience. Again great overall team game tonight, I have tix to most of the bears - pens games this year since I live 5 minutes outside Hershey.
