LIVE! Scrimmage

First scrimmage of the season here at Incredible Ice in Coral Springs. It's Saturday, and it's time for hockey.

Blue vs. White; Nathan Horton centering the first White line, Rostislav Olesz and Cory Stillman on the wings; Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton behind.

For the blue, it's Stephen Weiss-David Booth-Richard Zednik with Jassen Cullimore and Jay Bouwmeester. Tomas Vokoun in net for the White, Craig Anderson the Blue.

-- Tanner Glass gives the White a 1-0 lead...

-- Zednik just boarded...he's wearing a neck protector...

--Ballard looks good; just skated the puck out of his zone, nice pass to Horton who fed to Olesz...nice save by Andy...Lot of puck movement...digging it...

-- Drew Larman and Ballard mixing it up a bit...

-- Bryan Allen is now on the ice, working out on the second rink. Wade Belak (shoulder) also held out of the scrimmage, working on Ice 2.

-- White now leads 2-0; Brady Calla with the goal, 3:45 left in the first...

END OF ONE IN SOUTH BOCA: PANTHERS WHITE 2, PANTHERS BLUE 0

--Tyler Plante in net for the Blue, Chris Beckford-Tseu for the White...

--Michal Repik just puts one off the post...

-- Kenndal "Toyota" McArdle comes close to scoring; but Plante makes a nice save on the loose puck...

-- Frolik goes flying into the net, takes out Beckford-Tseu...

-- McArdle hard into the net...still no score in the second half...

-- And that's that...no scoring in the final 30 minutes of play. Panther fans should hope this is not a indication of what's ahead. Your final: White 2, Blue 0.

So then GR, how did all the youngens look?

[Scott]

Well George, after watching their first practice/scrimmage, what are your thoughts?

[Big Slap Shot Bob]

Considering the scoring we lost, it could very well be...

I liked what I saw. Obviously scoring is going to be an issue here, but I don't see FLA playing on their side of the ice as much as in the past. Hard to tell after one day, but this is still a work in process. There are some good pieces here...

Well, if we're playing against our own defense, I think we should hope that the score will be low. Good defense should beat out good offense most of the time.
